He he, I saw those in some maps & they look very nice mate :D

If ever I'm making a space or a night version of another map, you bet I'll try those ;)

Sneak peak at Pak 2 as seen ingame!

I still need to work on the colour saturation so the finished products will be slightly different in colour. 7 are pictured but a couple more will probably make it in.

Hope you like'em! smile

Wow, I love those :D

Damn m8, you made something really great there !

Dunno if I can use them for my night version of Aly since it's not a space map ?

Ho that's great dude :)

Still, do you think I can use them for my night version of Aly since it's not a space map ?

If you have a starry sky backdrop then you should be able to!

I've just finished scanning the hubblesite gallery for workable pics. There may be as many as 20 pics in this pack. Otherwise I'll split it into 2 seperate packs.

Ah,

I'll try it out for sure :D

BTW, I would prefer to dwn only 1 pack with everything include if it's not to much to ask :)

hey mick ,is the red one from hubble too? i use to watch hubble site with childrens and i have seen all the others but never this one

**Posts:** 472

No probs!

I'll make it one pack. Be warned though. The pack will probably blow over 100meg, possibly hitting 200meg. 100+meg of hubble goodness though!

At a guess 28-30 pics all up. Final number depends on wether they can be photoshopped to look OK in the game.

I've gone for high rez pics for all images and will resize them down to 2048 for in-game assets. I've tried avoiding any original jpg's that are under 1meg in size!
Like before there will be instructions for all images.

NOTE: There is a couple of lower rez pics, which I've picked cuz they're some of my favourite huubble pics. Hopefully they can be manipulated to work.

Also I managed to find a another red pic or two for Bl!tz..hopefully they can be photoshopped to work OK in-game! smile

Yup it's a hubble pic. You can view it here;

thx for all that; i have a new background pict héhé ;)

**Posts:** 691

THX mate, will be useful & it look very nice also.

BTW, even 200 MB for that kind of stuff is nothing m8.

**Posts:** 472

Unfortunately the pack won't be ready today. It's taking longer to photoshop the pics than what I first thought.

Should be sometime tomorrow night (30hrs time)

Good job mate.

Here's the next batch as seen ingame;

I love the galaxy pic in the centre.

Turned out quite well. I'm not happy with the gobular clusters so I may work on them some more...

After this there's about another 7-9 to be done.

Pack is ready now. It's comes in at 87meg compressed and expands out to 300meg.

There are 27 textures all up! biggrin

There's only one set of instructions as they work for all materials.
Images included are the ones shown in the above posts! (or check 1st post to see all of them in one hit)

Download Link: FileFactory

I've tried to upload it to FileFront 3 times now and it always uploads to 100% then returns an error failing the upload...

thx m8 ;)

Many THX Lord for those HQ hubble textures & very importantly the instructions which is required for any noob like me :D

I thought that all would be included in 1 pack only. But it's fine m8.

I'll make sure to give proper credits to the org site & to you for all the work ;)

They all looking awesome & unique. Great job dude !

**Posts:** 1008

just for the info the first preview pict in the second pack dont display here on windows photogallery and on photoshop only a stretched pict; not really important though...and perhaps it s just me

**Posts:** 472

Let me know if you have issues with them working ingame.
Seeing the 1st pack is rather small I'll combine them then upload a complete pack and remove the other 2.

EDIT: Complete pack up now. Grab from 1st post...or here: File Factory

yer...I have nothing better to do than waste peeps time n bandthwidth...heh heh heh biggrin

Maybe I should start taking Bt!tz's old man pills to keep me in line! wink

Are you Canadians ripped off like us Auzzies where you have a download quota each month (and you get capped to 6k a sec if you blow it) or are you unlimited over there?

**Posts:** 691

Well, depending on your contract you have a bandwidth limit or unlimited. In my case it's 30 GB per month including upload / download.

I'm on hight speed (1 KB dwn). It's not the fastest but quality/price it's the best deal here :D

I've re-upped the pack as it now contains an index pic that has a pic and filename for each image to make it easier to select your picture.
I'll update the DL link on the first post
Thanx to Odedge for suggesting this!!

Anyway to save you redownloading the pack here's the image;

**Posts:** 691

THX for the update Lord, very nice enhancements.

I'll redown the pack & add the link in to my blog in the resources page :D
