Default Starfury Image Mod

For those of you just coming in, this is based on the SE4 image mod. The idea is that mods with a lot of graphics may be quite large..and some of those mods might share graphics. So why not have a collection of graphics- the user then downloads one file to get the effects for several mods.

I'd like to get this going for Starfury as well. .x files aren't that big, so they're not really an issue. But textures and the other effects are, and Starfury like SE4 can read from the base directory.

Rules:
Submissions must be emailed to me or posted in -this thread- with a link to the file. You also need to have a credits.txt file with the graphics or sound effects, stating who made it. You CANNOT overwrite the base Starfury graphics.

At the moment I'm thinking several catagories:

-Components send me the 40x40 .bmp, I'll put it in components.bmp myself. I'm also porting a lot of the components from SE4 to SF.

-Effects: a 256x256 .bmp would be ideal. Try not to go over that, as it might slow down slower systems. Ideally name it uniquely, ex: Bolt_1_PD.bmp.

-Landscapes: same as effects.

-Portraits: these need to be 286 by 400. Otherwise same as effects.

-Stellar: 512 by 512, otherwise same as effects.

-Textures: include the .x file the texture is supposed to use, and again try to name it uniquely.

I'll take the submissions, combine them and post them for download by Users- hopefully with a mirror or two later. Then, its up to the modders to use those images however they'd like.
