Full previews, as always, in the Milliways gallery.

Nebula pack #06 with tables & test mission

Enjoy

[Black Wolf]

w00t! Now I just need more space in FRED so I can see 'em all...

As usual, looking sweet, though familiar - are these the same colour scheme as an existing release?

[Lightspeed]

A bit. There's some cyan ones (Set 4 IIRC), and these ones are blue. Much softer, much more gaseous than the cyan ones

For comparison:

Blue one | Cyan one

[CptWhite]

excellent as always lightspeed - by the way there are some errors on the PCX files of your planets that i spotted - i corrected them for the babylon project effects pack but you might want to check them - the "pure green" was 254,254,254 or something on a few of the maps - i manually edited the palette so they displayed correctly.

[Lightspeed]

That must be because I never actually made PCX versions of my planets.

There's TGA and DDS versions, both fully alpha blended on whatever background you choose. I think someone else made PCX versions at one point, though.

[jdjtcagle]

Lightspeed one day were still planning to fred these thing right?

[Gloriano]

Wow, really nice work

[Sigma957]

Looks fantastic

[Turambar]

whoever is doing the re-nebulizing of the main FS2 campaign should start now, so we dont have to wait as long

[jdjtcagle]

I'm waiting for lightspeed (and when I get done wiht my TVWP stuff) and is there a way to add more stars in one mission without all the extra ambient lighting?

[Lightspeed]

by editing stars.tbl. Don't wanna do that, though. I will FRED through the main campaign with jdjt, once this is done, though.

Or, put it this way, we'll make templates for each system, and then assign them to the missions. That's what I was/ I am collectiong your background compositions for

[jdjtcagle]

Ok, just haven't heard much from you
background compositions?
You mean my stars?

[Lightspeed]

Nope, I mean complete nebula background info spews to use in missions.

[jdjtcagle]

Oh my bad...
I'll be ready when your are

[Taristin]

Oh yeah. I donated one of them...

[Lightspeed]

You did. I have it here

Champion is Roy Fokker so far - he contributed THREE settings

[jdjtcagle]

Wait you used the ones I made?

Sorry...

You must know by now, its hard to explain to me

BTW, your Sig...
Does it say "LSD 42"

[Lightspeed]

huh? I don't get what youre trying to tell me.

And yes, my siggy does say LSD 42.

LSD is an insider joke with my wingman, and is an abbreviation for LightSpeeD - the 42 is the--; well, you know.

[jdjtcagle]

Nevermind, I was thinking you said you used my nebula I made...

42, I'll find out... somehow

[Rictor]

Hmm, I must say, I don't liek it as much as your previous releases. Its still miles better than vanilla FS2, but it just seems somehow...too colourful and vibrant. If you remember way back when all this (nebulas) was just starting out, tthe example was "EVE like", and I think this is straying from that a bit. Not that I think you should keep on the straight and narrow so to speak, it just seems to me that your other releases (some more than others) are more...subdued and...elegent I guess it the word I would use. But also in the "texturing" of the nebula, if you know what I mean, this one seems to be drifting back to the plain FS2 style a bit. Sorry to give negative criticism (or more accurately, not fully positive criticism, since I still consider this to be overall a positive change) but I guess you asked so I had to speak my mind.
