Adding planets to the galactic map??

[MajorPayne]

Could somebody kindly give me the list of files I need to do to add a new planet in (I'm heavily experimenting at the moment), and if its only the planets.xml file can I say, copy out the entire first entry and then change what I need to and it'll automatically work, or is there something else I need to change??

 

Thanks to one and all in advance.

You need an xml editor first in order to get it to work right (I tried just using a word program but I don't think they save the file correctly leading to a crash), what I do is copy an existing planet and just change all the entries to my liking. you also have to edit the master text dat file with a dat editor, add a new line starting with TEXT_OBJECT_STAR_SYSTEM_ and then the name of the planet you want to add, like: TEXT_OBJECT_STAR_SYSTEM_TATOOINE and then you type in what the planet is called, so it would be Tatooine. You also have to edit the campaign xml by adding your new planet to the locations part.

 

also remember you can't have any spaces in the name of the planet, must have an underscore.

Yep. I understand the no space bit, and thanks. Thats something else I can fiddle with.
