hey zak, how do you get that xplanet program to actually put something up for the background.  I downloaded it and got the blue marble .jpg's  I'd like to try and get something working like you have because it is so cool [:D]

Thanks
View Quote

Download the windows version of Xplanet, then run the winXPlanetBG.exe program.  Make sure you select the "winXPlanetBG at startup: yes" option, then tweak the rest of the options until the result appeals to you.  To get the current cloud cover, just click the "download now" button.

The default settings should be enough to do what you want.  I've been tempted to load this on my firewall though, just so I can get the WHOLE Xplanet experience (the unix version is actually interactive!)

The module was simply called "Ravenloft" (you were close) [:)]

I started playing around 1982 - but I haven't played for a couple of years.

I still have all of my books, modules, and stuff like that. I think I will be buried with that stuff lol.

Sinistral,


Yeah, you had to love those Tachyon guns. They really made short work of Capital ship's shields. Add jump cap[ability and you had one bad fighter. The best was beating Flash and almost shutting him up, although I cannot count how many times I blew Maniac out of the sky....

It was a good one, but the F-103 Excalibur will always be my favorite...after all its what turned the tide in the Terran-Kilrathi War.  Dropping the Temblor bomb on Kilrah was sweet.  Too bad Origin has effectively cancelled the Wing Commander series, they combined the best action, plot, and characters out of any of the games I have ever played.  Long Live the Confederation!
