3 Simple Questions

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

The very first thing in the file.
2. In the savefile, where are you relations with other species stored?
At the end there is a perl script around somewhere that can edit that faction relation matrix without borkng the save.
3. Where are the images for the loading screen stored?
The animations folder BTW they are DTX compressed there are plug-ins for PhotoShop,the GIMP and Infranveiw so get one before you frustrate yourself trying to open one :wink:

Enjoy the Choice :)

I myself am trying to mess with backgrounds and the opening ad images, but I am working on an Intel Mac. Are there any known plugins for Photoshop, or Gimp that will allow me to open and work with the image files. I am having a tough time with that one. Any info is great. Thanks. :D

Yes there is they are compressed in the dds format and there are plug-ins for both but you might get more mileage using the the versions in the masters repository here http://vegastrike.svn.sourceforge.net/v ... k/masters/ they aren't compressed :wink:
