New background look idea

Submitted by CP1985 on Wed, 2007-03-14 17:40. SE:V MODs

I had a new idea about the background display and the hex grid. Basically I copied, resized the background from SEIV into a mod for SE5. Then I got rid of the hex grid, that is I made all the colors black. It looks a lot like SEIV now. Can anyone recommend a good screen shot program? I'll post a screen shot of what it looks like. I may merge this new background with a mod I'm working on depending on feedback. Currently I'm working on 3 mods simultaneously lol. One is for SEIV that changes the game into SE5 style. One is for SEV which changes it into SEIII style gameplay. The other mod is for SEV which has different vehicle types dependant on engines, new armor and weapons etc,. If anyone wants more info on any of these please let me know.

You don't need to blacken the hexes; just hit ctrl+g in-game.

You don't need a screenshot program; just hit printscreen and a screenshot is copied to the clipboard. You can then paste it into your image editor of choice.

Upload it to a site like photobucket or imageshack.us. They will provide UBB code tags for placing the image in a post.

The background lost some resolution from resizing (I'm horrible with graphics lol.)

Note the black hexes in the star glow. The solution of just hitting ctrl-g to turn them off is more robust.
