Screenshots.

oh sorry ill get some up...oops :-[

dw33 this looks really amazing.  I have a question though.  Your mod will be pretty all-encompassing and I'm wondering if you culd make a version that doens't have 80 star systems?  Maybe one that's in between 80 and the normal maximum size shipped with the game?

 

Also, did Petroglyph say when they were releasing an importer?

I am curious..  how did you increase the map size... I know how to move the planets around..  but its thr size thats stumping me. I tried the scale and mass factor in the Planets.XML file for the galaxy model. All I did was make the background itself further away or closer.

planets.xml, first section is galaxy, increase the scale.

 

i could release it with any number of planets from 2 - 100 or so (100 or so being all planets in my planets.xml)

Shipyards cant be captured yet (as of now they are destroyed when you win battle), but you can do a hit and fade attack to destroy the shipyards, works and is very cool to cripple their building capacity! Am working on allowing them to be captured!

I should post some batte screens, scaling, special effects, shipyards in battles,  and such.. will try and get some up monday...

Thats some expensive shipyards!

yhea i agree btw where is an download link? i would love to try it with that much planets

I will be able to get my modded files out tonight or tomorrow.. I just need to get the size factor done. I am not gonna have 80-100 planets..  Mine is more like 65. So far I added in Zhar, Ylesia, and Mustafar. Kamino was all added BACK in. There were a bunch of planets I wanted to add in.. however I am trying to keep it is realistic as possible. I am sticking to unihabited planets, Hutt planets, or Human planets. I wanted to add in Ord Mantell... however there are no existing ground maps..  that would match or even come close to Ord Mantell. Mustafar was easy. Its a volcanic planet. Not many inhabitants. So I ised the Shola maps.. Ylesia is a Swampy Hutt controled planet. So I just used Nal Hutta maps. Zhar is a grassy planet with humans. So I used the Wayland maps.

can i help with these kinda stuff?

Shipyards are valuable, you cant just have them everywhere! a download will be available when i feel its ready for download, when enough things are done, this first release is only space changes and additions for the most part, there are a few changes to other areas and gameplay...

I tried scale increased to 2.0 nothing happened..then to 3.0 nothing then to 25.0 then to 100.00 still nothing.... what scale figures are you using?

Did you remember to save it? It worked for me

Yes... I did save.. I will try again later when I get home.

1.25

Ok... everything is ok... but now I got planets off the mini map. I see dw333's mini map all the planets fit on there. yet he increased the scale of the galaxy. Is there a way to adjust the scale of the mini map so everything fits?
