This is cool. Nice work! SolSystem looks nice, but the textures don't wrap all the way around behind the planet on my display. I also noticed the game would get choppy on one or two maps when looking straight up or down (sorry, I don't remember which ones).

I'd love to see a tutorial on making backgrounds and all the steps involved. Do you have any tips or tricks you learned while making these?

Dont follow tefeari's tutorial. (Sorry, tefeari)use the Command line tool. Add the switch /o to override the default. max out the settings except the glue pixels. set that to 3. it allows very high quality renders. I put a pic of my friend up, and she looked real nice, til a battlecruiser blew up. that sometimes messes with the contrast. Also, use photoshop to sharpen everything. Also, what kinda computer you running on? mine works jsut fine when looking anywhere.

Oh, and solsystem, its not completly done. the textures were suppose to wrap all the way around. the Sunburst effect in PSP makes invisible lines you can see, but they convert.

This is a great idea. The same old backgrounds were getting a bit boring.
