About This File

The same as my K1 mod, this one replaces the low resolution star and nebula textures with higher quality ones.

 

Update: Thanks to GNihilus2 I added compressed versions of my star textures, reducing their size from 3 MB to around 50 KB. There is no visible difference and there's also no need to download the new version if you already downloaded 1.0 unless your harddrive is really full.

so quickly a TSL version?? very well ...    ;)

 

u know ... just by using 32 bits RLE compression with "my" tga editor I can actually reduce that PER_Stars tga from 3 Mb to a humble 53 Kb file ... yep, that amount .... u believe that?? must be that "all black" background ... still need to check thoroughly if there's no visible quality difference though ...
