There are about 65 event pictures in the base game, but I figured that modders could always use some more.

NASA produces thousands of images and artwork of space every year, as is kind of the definitive source for outer-space imagery. And not just Hubble telescope photos: NASA also commissions artwork, concept images, 3D models, and other kinds of useful files.

Most NASA-created images are available for public use, for any purpose, without requiring further permission, making them perfect for use in your mods. I took a bunch of them and reformatted them for use in Stellaris. This mod adds an additional 79 pictures that can be used for events in the game.

Just activating the mod doesn't do much: there are no default events that use them. The best way to use this mod is to copy the gfx and interface folders into your own mod, and then use them like you would use any other event graphics. There's a complete listing of the graphics included in at /mod_info/jpl_event_pictures/index.html which includes a handy reference for what the internal name is and pictures of the graphics.

The pictures included here are derived from images produced by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. For more information on the JPL image policy, consult this link: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/imagepolicy/

I suggest you include the following line somewhere in your readme or credits:

Some images courtesy of: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Any contributions I've made to these files I release into the public domain. Feel free to use them however you see fit.

Since these files are in the public domain, I have no requirements for you to use them. I just have two requests, both entirely optional and voluntary:

First, these images are available because of the public funding of NASA's space exploration. Space exploration is a lot more than just exciting manned missions, and if you've found these files of any use I encourage you to support NASA and the continued funding of their mission to bring space to all of us.

Second, go make a lot of events for Stellaris, so I can play them!

The mod looks great but I can't open the images. I get an end of file error (using GIMP). I'm able to open the Paradox .dds files. Also, I can't seem to find the reference HTML in the mod folder.

Thanks for putting this mod together by the way, I'm really looking forward to using it in my mods.

The files were saved via the Nvidia Photoshop plugin, which may account for that issue.

Also, it turns out that the uploader removes non-game folder from the upload. Which is good for the general use case but makes it harder to post reference stuff via the Workshop.

Instead, I've posted an online reference guide. If you want a local copy, you can do a "Save Page" from your browser. That'll also get you the JPEG versions of the images.

Let me know if you have any other issues!
