THE RETURN OF THE FEDTERM CHARACTER PICTURES

by Hazed

It has been a long time since somebody sent in a FedTerm character picture to be published in gallery, but finally, they have done so. And about time too! Since it's been so long, let me remind you all that if a picture of your character is added to the gallery, any FedTerm-user who downloads it will see that picture when they examine you, or do a SpyNet Report on you, or have a private conversation with you.

The new picture is of Eli, a male human who hasn't been around for long. He looks a bit windswept in this picture! You can download it from the FedTerm character picture gallery by right-clicking on the image, selecting Save As... and putting it in the pictures sub-folder of your FedTerm folder.

As well as character pictures, you can download pictures of planets so that when you use the system display tab to look at details, you will see a picture of the world. There are no new pictures in the planet gallery this week, but you can go and catch up on any you missed. Download them by right-clicking and selecting Save As... from the menu, then saving them to your computer in 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.
