Ultimate Forge v1.2 Completed!

Solar Sins and Celestial bodies galaxy forge

from Sins Forums

Hello everyone, i have finished making my galaxy forge of celestial bodies and solar sins mods.

This version includes:

-All CB mod planets (thanks to TohKlidan)+ extra icons for solar system planets (from google).

-I think all Solar Sins planets (thanks to DANMAN) exept for the planet stars because I think the Companion Star icons look beter.

-2 new stars named Orange Star and Brown Dwarf Star (Companion stars to).

Attention! The two stars i added do not work in any mods yet!

Heres the link:

The stars will not work in any mods yet. I'm currently working on one but they wont work in game. Apperently nacey was making a merge of Solar sins and CB. I just made the Ultimate forge first for some reason. As for the orange stars icons being yellow well i plan on fixing that when i get a program that can edit the gif icons. I have gimp and nero photosnap (not photoshop) but it wont save my editing for some reason. It might be out of date, im not sure. But now you dont need two galaxy forges. And if a mod comes out with the 2 mods merged, well bonus.

If annyone wants the two stars just let me know and i'll try something.

OK, so this is currently not active, but when it is, i will be glad to use it. The black hole star seems interesting.

The black hole star is from Solar Sins 2.0. And it is active. you can use it just make sure if you make a map for CB mod only use the CB planets and same goes for Solar Sins. Im using it all the time now.

P.S. there is a black hole planet in CB but the star is only for SS.

Ok im sure some of you really love my GF. But im remaking the icons and so far, its a lot better. Im also making the icons a little more to scale ( Mars smaller than Earth and the gas giants a little bigger) i might get into re-making the CB huge and dwarf planet icons to.

!!!If someone answers this it would really make my job a lot easyer!!!

Does anyone know of a free program where you can set the borders of the icon to be circular instead of a 30x30 square?

Ok im not sure what happened. It was working the last time i used it so the link isnt broken. Filefront must have lost it. Ok im gonna finish my V1.1 of it then post the new link sometime today. Sorry its not my fault.:'(

But it would still be nice for that image border program i asked for earlier.

There is no such thing as non-rectangular Picures..so what are you talking about? If you want to make round icons you have to create a rectangular picture set the background transparent and mark a circular area to work in. You can do that with any sophisticated program like photoshop or GIMP (The newest version is 2.6)..

But i am still not sure what your problem is, so... care to explain?

Can you give me some instructions on how to do that? I have gimp 2 but cant figure it out. I made a new layer and set it to background but it turned the whole thing white.

Edit: Nvm i figured it out.
