don't do that ... i did it 2 it won't work save that pick as ships.bm2 and place it into your continuum/graphics folder if you might do it and you reconnect your continuum will give an error "can't load wsroll" or something like that, that's because only ships.bm2 look like that, but the other ship files are still the originall. Ihave the shipset from pixelsoft it owns, and you have all the files needed for it

Duh. Always backup before doing any shoestring modding like this. You avoid problems like what you ran into.

i have that shipset it owns

Only one person has really answered my actual request. I want a shipset that is based on the original, but only makes it look better. I can't stand those dumb looking ones that totally make the ships look different.

[Selex]

nowhere to upload it (uploadit.org cant upload - file too big)

Use http://www.xtmembers.com/images/
You dont have to signup and its free.
Your file wont upload in it cause it is too big, but I use Xtmembers all the time for stuff.

Edit: I also have a problem with my graphics folder. When I input the new graphics into the Graphics folder, And I extract it then close the folder... I go back into the game and it will not work.. Got any solutions?

oo, cool site.

You have to restart Continuum whenever you change a graphic. Make sure that is a *.bm2 also.

edit: JEANSI! I want that shipset with highlighted edges that you have.

Well all we see is graphics, how about some good sound mods?

I looked around and wanted to fix two sound f/x's.

Namely the silly Flag Room Victory DING!!!!!! omg, I hate that.

Also I want to change the level3 bullet sound, yeah the dreaded warbird fire shot sound (it sounds like I'm getting whipped).

I looked high and low, downloaded many sound packs at that ssdownloads server.

For the victory.wa2 fix, I just took this hum.wa2 file and renamed it to victory.wa2; yahoo no more DING!

Then I found a oldie but goodie nostalga.zip (SS BETA and sniper sound f/x's) and used the old bullet3.wa2 sample; IMHO sounds way better and smoother.
This old bullet3.wa2 sample, sounds like your shooting an arrow... nice

I left the new bullet1.wa2 sounds... level 1 bullets that terriers and spiders shoot, they sound like someone is spitting on you, sounds sort of cute.

I personally changed my L1 (spider) bullet sounds. I got one of the sounds from a pack I downloaded from SubspaceDownloads and edited it a bit (made it quieter mostly). It's a lot less annoying now. I also made the hum.bm2 file (I think thats the one) a blank sound. For some reason when I had the alt+tab chat window open, it would play that sound. It also really bothered me because it is constantly playing that sound on loop in the game.

[GoldenPlums]

I never play with any sounds as i'm usually listening to music, tv or the radio. Rolling ships are distracting too. The main graphics change I use is for wb bullets to make them easier to see (using MS Paint).

The other thing I have found useful (while learning to base jav) is to change the graphics so you know what angle your ship is at.

[Stabwound]

I used to play without sounds, but these days I can't at all. You can be so much more aware (especially in base) if you are listening to what is happening. A lot of the time I can hear stuff that I would miss because I don't see it on the screen.

You have to restart Continuum whenever you change a graphic.

I don't. I just alt-tab, no need to restart at all.

I also made the hum.bm2 file (I think thats the one) a blank sound.

You could also go into sound options & select "Engines Off".

For fun, I made several new hum.bm2 files as music tracks, quite cool & it doesn't lag you like winamp/media player.

[Stabwound]

Doesn't doing that completely disable all engine sounds? I just dislike the one sound it plays.

[Mobey]

Where can i get that shipset with highlighted edges?

BTW:I alt-tab aswell if i have modded.

[Mobey]

I'm officially using this ship set: The Ten Commandments
