FEDTERM CHARACTER AND PLANET PICTURES

by Hazed

This week there are lots of new FedTerm character pictures and a couple of planet pictures, so you can see what Fedders and their worlds look like.

In the character picture gallery we have:

  • Bullet - a neuter projectile who looks like... well... a bullet!
  • Custard - a neuter dessert who appears to be a well-known brand of custard powder.
  • Jordis - a female human who is very pleasing to the eye (or equivalent).
  • Thug - a male human who really lives up to his name.

At last, my plea for non-male pictures has born fruit, with two neuters and a female to add to the gallery. You can download them by right-clicking and selecting Save As... and putting them in the pictures sub-folder of your FedTerm folder.

In the planet picture gallery the new pictures are:

  • Ardeal (Ardelius system) - it's a planet floating in space, what did you expect?
  • Nimbus (Cloud system) - this one is strange; it looks as if someone has squashed the planet. Or the photographer was drunk.

Grab these by right-clicking and saving them into the Fedterm\planets folder.

If you want to let other people see what you, or your planet, looks like, you should make a picture to show us and mail it to feedback@ibgames.com (remember to put Fed2 in the subject line). Character pictures are 80 pixels wide by 96 high; planet pictures are 172 pixels square. Both should be in .bmp format. Character pictures should be named after your character, ie pugwash.bmp or newbod.bmp. Planet pictures should have a filename to match the planet name, ie marina.bmp or rigel 4.bmp.
