    hmm... seems like most production on this will be halted till around the middle of november, as the Adobe PS Cs4 trial isnt coming out until around then, and I need some filters from photoshop to be able to make the main part of my entry, and i have tried about all the 50 other possible things, and nothing has worked


    i have like one more thing to try, but i cant try that yet....



    oh well, i guess ill just work on the overall look if it while i wait.

    so yea the Cs4 trial finally came out, and that helped greatly

    shoot i knew i shouldnt have gotten started on this project, now i cant stop, im addicted to working on it you could say


    okay relatively small update, just added squares for the different selection areas, the biggest one is the current one.


    Also, just thought I would let you know, this is basically set up as a computer. Click a target area, the bottom screen pops up with the system's objects (planets, asteroids, etc), while the top screen pops up with a picture taken from somewhere in that system. Click one of the planets or objects, and the middle screen pops up with a picture of that object, along with info on it, while if it has any objects orbiting it, those pop up in the bottom screen (click the systems sun, the planets pop up in the bottom screen. Click a planet, the moons pop up, click a moon, nothing pops up, unless there is a space station orbiting it ).

    So yea, but now looking at it i forgot to remove the asteroid from whats orbiting the sun... oh well, i can have it that its orbiting the sun


    first image is the WIP, second is an example of what would happen if you click on the sun

    shoot the stupid attachments thing is messing up again, and i know for a fact that the file is small enough

    oh well, ill put them as images

    edit: comments and advice are welcome....
