 | |  | | ![]() First, for me, clicking the link gave a 404 error, but changing 'RAR' to 'rar' led to the correct link.
Second, hah, really good! By the way, a short while after landing a canyon appeared just below my feet (such things never happen even in cartoons!), and as the result, I was able to photograph the lander sitting on nothingness. A bit later, ground reappeared in the same place. But I don't think this was the part of a christmas suprise.  Here's a small collection of screenshots.

| | | | I must say I like it! I managed to make two animated gifs from it:
WARNING:Large files, if you're still using an archaic dial-up connection.
(This file was originally 2.4 MB in size so I needed to scale it slightly.)
cd/gifs/4616599/trees (1970 Kb)
Here we see trees and a ruin(in some shrubland on Felysia)
The snow effects are rather good.
I landed in the 'special' areas but didn't really like the extreme transparency, though the whitish 'ground' did make for some good snaps)
note:the terrain seemed to change a lot less frequently than regular NICE, actually | | | | |

I wonder how long you've been preparing this...

I think it took me a total of one day to implement..
EDIT: actually, the trees might've taken me longer, since I was totally into modding plants at that time (as you can see with my user avatar, which is actually a NICE-generated flower... There's also some huge crystals I made: http://home.deds.nl/~megagun/temp/crystals.png)
This year, it was already the 25th for nearly an hour or so, and I remembered that I totally didn't do anything with it at all, so I quickly grabbed the source, changed a number around, recompiled and put it back up...
I thought about killing the Gliders and changing them for the Penguin model Bensel made, and actually tried to do this, too, but it wasn't an easy change, so I left it at that...
I also tried to add in proper snow or even fireworks last year, but couldn't get the flares (the same thing I use for the Omega Drive Orb) to work properly on the surface of planets..  | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() Wow, that came out pretty good, so all the planets that I land on now will have Christmas trees? Because I just landed on a lava planet with Christmas trees everywere. | |  | |  |
