Custom planet Z?

from Sins Forums
Is it possible to add a custom Z-scale to a spefic planet?  Sins automatically does this, so it seems reasonable that it checks to see if a planet has a user-defined Z-scale.  (Z-scale = elevation(?) difference in planets)

I tried searching the forusm but returned nothing.  If you guys are still confused to what I"m asking tell me and I'll make a more descriptive post.

You want to increase the height available to move in around certain planets, right?

If thats it, then I've got a bad feeling you might not be able to do it with the current Mod Tools. I didn't see anything in the Planet####.ENTITY files to do with the Z-axis, and if its going to be anywhere, it would probably be in them.

Good luck anyway, I hope someone else can help you out.

EDIT: Are you sure its not directly linked to the size of the movement area defined in the planet files?

When you zoom out (far enough so you see many planet icons and the star) you'll notice that planets aren't even with each other. That's the value (for individual planets) I want to change.

Increasing the planet radius isn't a problem.

Oh, you mean the Z-axis for the actual planet? No idea, I thought that was to do with the Galaxy Forge. Good luck anyway.

The z level of planets is simply randomized at game start. It can't be set that I'm aware of.

Bugger. Is the same true of stars as well?
