Map creation mods

April 29, 2006 5:34 AM from

One of the things that seem to be impossible right now is to specify texture and terrain for planets in the map xml's. Is it possible to include this option in the future? Right now all you can do is specify location and class, but not how the planet will look.

Also why is the size of stars capped while planets are not? I can make HUGE planets that take up many parsecs and dwarf it's parent star yet I can't make a star larger than one parsec. Just thought it would be interesting to make star systems that are slightly more to scale.

I agree thats why I called for support in a map script so modders can tweak and tell the computer how to build their own 'ideal' universe for conquests. Also while changing the range of things you can have other types of scripts.. like a 'Galactic Realism Mod for Stars and Planets' size and color does matter.

Or 'increased' or 'more balanced' resource scripts. I think this would allow for lots of possibilties while creating a galaxy for play.
