Space background

[christian]

Sorry if this question was already answered, because I wasn't able to find what I was looking for...

So, this is my question: How can I change the "Space background"?There is some example than I can use?

...I in fact remember of a mod, back ground spyder-something, but I was not been able to find on xelerus...

Spaceenvironment? That was digdug's tech demo. Basically you create a new nebulatype and spawn it to make a new background.

yes, I did some tests looong time ago. I was interested to see if nebulaetype could have a 8-bit mask or more blurred borders.

I have to try again, as with the awesome tools that George gave us I could probably do much better. Distant parallaxed galaxies and colourful background nebulae could be interesting and make the systems more unique.

I'm planning to use for "air-ground" battles...Such as that "test7.jpg"
...The limit for the planet area would be something like the QZ...
For "New Sorvereigns", some plantes 'll work such as stargates, but if possible with anothers keyboard, planets like Bio, Desert, vulcan...
Those planets 'll have buildings, mines, factories, even cities...
(I'll try to use Image-frames for animations such as lakes, waterfalls,lava(for volcanic planets)...)

Is it on Xelerus...(I'll check)?
...If so, let me use it for study?

Could you explain how you changed the background? This gave me a GREAT idea!!

[christian]

well, the code is more simple that I thought...

its basicly a big image be loaded...

Thanks This'll help

The main problem presently is that you can't easily control the star layers ... e.g., all background stuff will always block the stars, even if you wanted to have star layers in the foreground of that?
