Rallying call for all interested: Colonisation of the Moon mod!

[JBG]

@GeoModder: Was your screenshot taken actually *in* Sol System ord did you make one? Because if you like I can send you the file for Sol - the one that works in the map editor....

 

[JBG]

No, I didn't! It shows up fine for me!

Try refreshing.

Here's a link to it if you can't see it:

I see it now, sorry.

Edit: It is going to be hard to choose which one to use, they both look good.

Before you do, Woodelf, try this one. Not that I want to outdo GeoModder or anything but I think this one is (at least) different. In order of close-ness, from left to right, you have Luna, the throneworld, the Milky Way, and Andromeda

Before I do what? I was talking about finding turret buttons!

Can't we have two main screens? I don't want to have to choose!

 

[JBG]

I made the mistake of using the actual Moon model instead of the background image (which I think Geo did)

:editing my image: ...

Thats an idea. If possible I can have one fade into the other and then back again. Don't know how much work this would take.(If possible the more images that we maev like that the merrier)

 

[JBG]

Before you do anything hard to repeat, let me improve the second screenie!

don't worry, about that. I won't be working on it till you will propably be in bed. (when you wake up you can see how it turned out)

 

[JBG]

I'd rather see other things when I "wack up", frankly

But I'll look forward to tomorrow anyway...

oops, another of my numerous spelling mistakes.

 

[woodelf]

I think Belizan needs a new thread.

edit - I put this brainfart in the wrong thread!

 

[JBG]

Okay, let's back on-topic!

Codes, people, coeds.

One a relavent note - it it possible to have the background image alternate between the two screenies we currently have?

 

[woodelf]

And on-topic...did you guys see my idea about using Philosophy as our religion? We need something that will cause tension and maybe splinter groups or revolts!

should be possible since we already see an example of this with the title in the main menu. (notice how it turn dark blue when the sun is on the opposite side of the world) Even though it may be possible I don't now how easy if is to do.(looks like I'll be editing .nif files after all tonight.)

I'd say that's low priority unless you have the time and definitely want it in the next release.

Just out of curiosity, what did you mean by this. What are you using to get those backgounds?

Hey, don't take away the fun I hope to have tonight Besides i only have one thing on my list that really needs doing, unless you guys can think of some other things that need doing

 

[woodelf]

If this is your sole source of fun for the night then I won't get in the way! I only hope to find three more turrets to contribute.

The Earth looks wrong on those images IMO. It looks too small (though I wouldn't actually know, and it seems to be the wrong shape (far too ellipsoid... if that's the word). I'm also not sure about the light reflected off the atmosphere - looks too glossy.
