Thnx Svengali!

This was the first new oxp I installed after my break. I have to say... fantastic stuff. Thanks so much for all the hard work to get this working. To me this is exactly what the game was missing... a little more atmosphere. I love all the chatter and noises. And mixed with the Random Docking oxp it sounds great when you dock. I tend to use atmospheric instrumentals and I almost cant wait to dock at the moment!

Great stuff!

Thanks dalek501

A special thanks here to Ironfist. Thanks a lot for testing the new stuff on his machine - Kudos!

I've just logged in to say exactly the same thing.

Excellent work, Svengali! I doff my 'slightly foxed' VMFA-314 baseball cap to you.

I just saw the new hyperspace effect. Jaw, meet floor. Floor, meet jaw.

Actually, the effect is so well done, that the default tunnel effect that follows it looks more Looney Toonsey than ever. I just had to edit the vanilla planetinfo.plist and change both hyperspace tunnel colors to black, so that it doesn't interfere with the amazingness of Svengali's creation. Well done, sir.

I absolutely refuse to post any pics of this (although I have some beauties)... it just has to be seen live!

Wow! Great minds really do think alike.

Ach! Why do you people torment me so!? I end up having to use a borrowed computer, which is slow and has no shaders, and now you release something nice like this!? Disgraceful behaviour!

From the sound of it 'tis something well worth waiting for. So congratulations in advance! Hopefully I'll see it soon...

Was that Russian chatter I sent you any good? (My lecturing schedule for the next few weeks is completely manic and I'm not going to have chance to play! )

That looks awesome! Thumbs up!
