WHAT IS THIS? OCTOBER RELEASE!
UPDATE! October 27th, 2010 @ 10:00 AM EST ~ New Version (Dark Edition - not related to the Dark squadron in any way)
This is a custom graphics set for Continuum created by Turban. This set has been tested by several players and I will continue to update this set as long as other players are interested. Thus, if you are bored of playing with the default graphics day after day, you should give this graphics set a shot. It is going to be a refreshing experience, you will not regret changing to this graphics set the slightest bit.
Unfortunately this set does NOT have rolling ship graphics.
It is also possible to edit any graphics file you want. All you have to do is change the BM2 extension of the file to PNG and open it with a graphics editing program, such as Photoshop. When you are done with editing the file, save the file as a BM2 file to your graphics folder and you are good to go!
NOTICE! SHIPS.BM2 and MENUTEXT.BM2 are saved as 32-BIT BMP files to make it possible to see the ships and text in the zone selection screen. If you wish to edit either one of these files, you have to change the extension to BMP instead of PNG as mentioned above.
NOTICE! This set also has non-compressed sound files included along with an extra skin. I have included my banner folder that has been ordered from #000 to #340, making it extremely easy to find the banner you're looking for.
HOW DO I INSTALL THIS GRAPHICS SET?
