for the black hole: here
how you can change the engine-colors is here

and the rest? I was just asking how to reactivate these effects if there are still hidden into the game data...

The above picture is composed of the Neutron Star, along with some sort of ring, like around Aso planet in Kyushu. (multiple rings?) As for the beam, i do not know what that is.

The star and black hole in the picture below are either a model, or something in the background. The light reflecting on the left planet can be emitted by a lightsource hidden behind the right planet.

Still, if someone can make something like this

The Next Generation would probably kill for those effects

Most mod makers would.

I like the degree of perspective on the first one; makes the cap-ship really look large. Any way to do that in the game?

Post Thu Aug 28, 2003 6:53 am

Most likely they scaled up the cap ships or scaled down the fighters in that version.

Yes, the light in the upper sreenshot i seen before. It is a neutron star. Some of those crazy lights or effects you can even add to your own ship!!!

Post Thu Aug 28, 2003 11:28 pm

if u have my sick eyes the battleship looks obscene.

and..

i remembered: not even light can excape from black holes thus, getting its name, so how come the black hole in the second picture lights up?

is it a light hole?

sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me!

it comes from the gases that the blakck-hole gets form the sun...sum are dissapearing in the bh but others are circeling 'round it...they can reflect light and...TADAAA!! there's the effect...
remember: we don't know how big the hole in the 2nd pic really is...perhaps as big as a basketball...or even smaller..

Hmmm... I like the idea of scaling down the fighters... Would make the universe and everything else in it seem much larger. Is there any simple way to do this in milkshape or something?

Post Fri Aug 29, 2003 6:44 pm

Hi!

I found this in the Effects.ini

vis_effect = gf_neutronstar

I have tested it, and it looks a bit like the first Screen. Maybe theres more effects on the neutronstar, than only one.
I check out more.

Sorry for my bad English.
