Replacement Planets
SET #1
The following 29 pictures on this page are in the first package. This set also includes the first two of the set of replacement planetary starbase picts. An impression:
SET #2
The next set of 19 pictures are in the second package. A quick overview:
SET #3
Next to a new bunch of planets the third set features a set of batch files you can use to replace/restore the pictures of your choise from the first three packages. Also included are the next three planetary starbases - use them instead of the planet picts.
(Works for *every* planet BMP!)
You'll have to get this third package!
SET #4
Talking about overkill: there are 131 new planet BMPs in this file! There should be some nice picts in it for you... The fourth package is about 370 kB.The images below are a sample, just 35 of the 131 pictures - displaying all images would take to much time and space even if they were scaled.
Planets Mask Kit - Special Set #1
In the past times, eons before the first intergalactic war and before Man's first step into their galaxy, this part of the universe was populated by an ancient and powerful race we now call the Warshippers. Although only small traces of this race were found no contacts with living survivors were ever reported. It is generally believed that this race was exterminated by a terrible disease like an unstoppable virus, although the found evidence is not for 100% convincing.The planets colonised and cultivated by the Warshippers are very easy to recognise from great distance (i.e. from ouside the solar system): the Warshippers ornamented their planets with large horrible faces of themselves. The size of such a mask is tremendous - only the smallest of them is comparable to the size of the Chinese Wall on Earth. The Warshippers used almost everything to construct their giant mirror images: they reshaped huge mountains, moved whole continents and dug entire oceans.

And the reason for the masks? A pure and evil strategy: What enemy fleet would attack a race so resourceful and capable of transforming their own planets.....?
Why not do it yourself? You seem like a powerful leader of your race to me, and you can always use some extra help against other hostile races. So get yourself my special Planets Mask Kit (PMK) tm. It comes with four sample masks and ready to use 15 examples. And the best for last: it's completely free!
Hints and tips:
- Copy the sample mask, and
XORpasting it over a planet results in planet in which the picture of the mask is imbedded in the colours of the planet. (This has the best effect on plain colored planets.)
BICpasting it on a planets makes the mask very distinct.
All the files you need are in the Planets Mask Kit. Enjoy! Tell me if you like it, and don't forget to send me a copy of your favourite mask!
Special Starbase Set - Special Set #2
Strange thing, eh? You've got this large Starbase orbiting your homeworld, it is capable of building even the largest Death Star but it doesn't show up when you review your planet..? No way!That's what this set is for: to match your base pict to your planet pict. Look at the figure below:
Select a starbase of the upper line and rename it to vpl23.bmp. Use the corresponding planet of the lower line and insert it for example on your homeplanet using the batch files included in Planets Set #3.
