Card Backgrounds

[Strider74205]

a while back on this site (i think) blank backgrounds for cards were available for download.

 

I'm talking about a blank starfield for fighters, the rebel and imperial backgounds for characters, blank starfields w/ planets for ships, that sort of thing. Know where I might find them?

But it's under construction at the time I placed this post

That's what I thought. I found the link in the "Main Stop", but I got the "Under Construction" and a pop-up, so I was hoping for a work-around. Thanks anyway!

For anyone else making cards and unable to get to masks site.

 

If you use the bright blue background found in the extra card, as well as the 3 little ones then you can automatically generate the alliance or empire background in three easy steps.

 

1) edit your extra card first (the picture you want on a bright blue background (photoshop has it already available) and 400x200 dimension).

2) right click and load this card onto the encyclopedia screen

3) right click and choose "generate alliance" or "generate empire"

 

Oddly enough, if the alliance option fails, sometimes you can do the empire option then switch it to the alliance.

 

I guess you need to know how bad you can be before you can be good

 

PS - other hints... if you cut your xtra card in half (200x200) then shink it by 40% you have the leftmost little card you need on the second encylopedia screen(80x80). If you shrink that by 40% again, you have the bottom card you need (32x32). And to get the upper fleet card, you can shrink the bottom one by 78% to get a 25x25, then expand it to 61x25 and fill in the blank space with that bright blue.

Emm.. actually they were never available from this site since i've been here, the ZIP files you fefer to were downloadable from a now non-existant site where John Stone uploaded all of his cards (available on this site in the card section). However this is something I touched upon with the webmasters before Christmas (and have recieved no reply as yet) BUT; in the mean time if any of you guys want to have the basic backgrounds to the game for card projects; namely the extensive backgrounds zip-file, email me and i'll be more than happy to share with what is getting dusty on my hard drive!

 

My backgrounds have moved onto stuff I can screen-capture from the movie DVDs; check out the excellant Chiss-Fighter, Advanced-TIE, and TIE-Phantom cards recently uploaded by Lord_La_Forge for what I mean... the background is Tattooine from TPM, and I think far more interesting than the game's original backgrounds... in short, it's better to be original....?

I also have the old backgrounds on my site, if you still want them as well.

The links under the www button in this post.

But as Jahled said, new ones definately look better. I'd go to some Nasa-oriented site, or something likely to get starfield backgrounds.
