Epic Code Release 3a

Here is another code release. Not so many player usable features this time; mostly trying to get ready for some merging work between mod team members. We should have a new player flyable ship or two next week or so.

There are a few things I would like you guys to test out if you can. Mostly just flying around and looking at stuff. Prying into nooks and corners looking for bugs. The release notes have problems to watch for. Thanks!

This release has some very cool new planet textures. And you will notice all the Nebula are gone (making room for the new ones). New Dramatic lighting. New stars. Overall, much prettier (Thanks to Cambragol!!).

Check out the release notes in the code package for a better list of new features.

This release is also pretty complex to download and install correctly. Mostly because I am having problems uploading 20+ meg files. So you will need to do some work. *ALL* of the pieces are needed, or wierd things are going to happen!

Here is the code:

Here is the star cluster (needs planet textures below).
[Edit, old release removed]

Download the following planet texture files. Put them all in a directory named “images”. Some will overwrite others. It is ok.

Then, open the middle states zip file, and put the “images” folder inside it. Zip it all back up and place it in the mods directory.
