Updated Download Section

[Mark]

Just a quick word to say that I have reorganised and updated the downloads section, there are now more signatures and wallpapers to chose from along side the previous selection.

Please check out the new downloads page here.

I can't help but notice the planet in the Wallpaper of the galaxy, Is that a New planet as it looks alot better than the one used before?

By the way the one used before was amazing, its just this one is WOW,

Hey ya, I didn't notice it either till now..... lol   Only Mark can answer that since he took the shot.  Have you been playing with Planet Textures?

[Mark]

yes indeed, i ripped some crazy high-resolution textures from the nasa website and plonked them into the game. at 8192x4096 a pop they arent what I would call game legal but they do look nice.

Dont worry folks, we will talk about the final in game planets when we get there

8192x4096 Those resolutios would kill my laptop, and my laptops quite good, looks good though

 It has been a month now that I bought a neg PC with  Quad core Intel processor and 4 GB memory and with other goodies, I hope it can handle the game

[MR_7]

well This is my first laptop dual core 2 GHz with 3Gb of ram its run every game iv'e got, so im hoping it will run this, Oh im doing my A-Levels by the way so i saved up for this for quite some time. Sorry if ive gone of topic

And as a general question. On average how big will be the resolutions?

[Mark]

we cant answer that question right now in a way that makes sense, but if you fancy a riddle the answer is "they wont be".

What are you using to edit the dds files? You might need a plug in for the software your using.

[MR_7]

Ive got the plug in its just when i try to save it says

"DDS: It appears your image may be a volume map,
but not all layers are the same size, thus a volume
map cannot be written."

 maybe its the fact that im using free software , GIMP 2.6 if anyone wants to know.

But otherwise its good for modifying .tga and .png and other files
