was cruising thru the lucasforums when pg-darthtorpid said this:

 

Once you create the planet in PLANETS.XML you also have to add it to the tag within a campaign file for it to show up on the map.

you are a GOD!

 

can we get a release soon - perferably one with starting with 1 planet?

v1 of 'civil war' mod wont be ready until sometime this weekend.

 

And will only include changes to ALL space aspects! but no ground changes (am working on it though)

what about releasing the galaxy so others can use it in their mods or even better improve it - adding more planets (unless you covered all 300+ hundred of em

 

oh and is it possible to make trade routes visible...so i know where i can be attacked from?

you can only have about 80 planets, i had over 100 at one point, adding more really starts to slow down the game (even with 2GB RAM)!

 

You will see it in another mod soon! the planets are almost completely done, the TEXT edits for planet descriptions is VERY time consuming.

is it possible to split them into sectors? like rebellion? that way you could get the other planets in too!

not that i know of, sorry.

maybe it's possible thru lua D:

Have you tried going into Rebellion and just copying the text files for the correspnding planets?  Would save alot of typing time, and it's pretty accurate for what I can tell.

note even lowering to 80 plantes, has major problems once half are visible, i think that the game might be limited to 50 or so to make it playable!

 

To bad! very limited engine in this case now...

my planet isn't showing up in the campaign even though I added it to the locations list.

 

edit: nevermind I had spaces in the planet name, fixed it, but now the right name isn't showing up.

 

also, I don't think it would be that hard for someone skilled in programming to come up with a program with a easy to use graphical interface to do this...maybe even there will be an official one? it's very straight forward in modding the files, and easily accessible.

you need to add planets to campaign and add a string in the master text file for each plant.
