Shipmaker Backgrounds

Alright, I got a little fed up with the uncentered default background, of unknown pixel length, and made a couple of my own.

This is what I use to build normally, to simplify the area and to let you see the ship outline without little boxes everywhere. Centerline defaults in exact center.

This is 10x10, and the brighter lines are 100x100. Centered.

This one is simple, just a white background to see holes in sections and gaps between sections to fix them.

If your background is just one flat colour you can tile a smaller image, you know.

Shipmaker doesn't handle tiling so well. While ideally a 1x1 pixel image would work best by conserving disk space, it lags the living shit out of Shipmaker. Stay with large images.

You're doing it wrong.

While we personally side with Blackridge Pharma, on this issue, Iron Ham Industries would like to publicly distance itself from this comments of Blackridge, as these may be seen as rather unprofessional.

Maybe a cross between the desired size will prevent lag and conserve the proper disk space.

Now calm down.

Where have you downloaded them to?

Alreadyunder · Post by **Alreadyunder** » Sun Jul 20, 2008 3:06 am

I downloaded them straight to my BSF folder, where screenshots are saved to. Saved them as .bmp (Because it doesn't seem to accept any other format.)

But when i double click them to use them it goes like it is going to change but nothing happens and i am stuck with the regular squares.

It could be just me, but I think you need to convert them with paint or something. Also, they were uploaded as bmp', so I don't know what happened.
