Short answer: You need the planet's entity, mesh, and texture files, you'll need the entity and any other related files for their effects. Put those in your mod. Then you'll have to copy the sections in the galaxy scenario def file for the planets that you've added and adjust the section counts accordingly. Add in the planet info and special effects in the string file and adjust the count accordingly as well. Someone else can expand upon this since I
[quote who="GrandMoffDima" reply="806" id="3142319"]How can i add a new ship to the game ?[/quote] For such a simple question it's actually quite a long and complex answer. Distilled down to the basics, you need a mesh of the ship, you need textures for the ship, you need to add the infocard entries into the string file, you need to add it to a few places in the galaxy scenario def file to allow it to appear in the game, you need to add in the entity file for the ship so the
[quote who="Ryat" reply="20951" id="3142224"]I got a lot back.[/quote] You're doing it wrong. My friend does taxes for corporations and she always has a look at mine before I turn them in to see if I missed anything (so she can rub it in that I screwed up, of course, not to actually help me) and every year she's amazed at how well I planned everything out so that I don't owe, and I get anywhere from nothing to $100 back. Now that's just good tax planning.&n
In your game's main folder there will be dev exe's for each version of the game. Quickest way to get there is (if you're running anything newer then XP) right clicking on your existing short cut to the game (even if it's in the start menu) and selecting the option 'open file location' in the context menu that pops up. You'll see the developer executables in there. Right click on those and select create short cut, and you can move those short cuts
Black holes can still be used as stars on custom maps using the forge or the in-game map creator. See black 5 for example. They were removed from the random settings because as Ryat said, the AI treats them as they do every other star and takes the shortest route through ultimately costing them their fleet. You'll see this behavior even with the companion black holes. Unless the phase lanes are at a 90 degree angle (or less) from each other where the AI can easily
Everything word wise is in the String file. StringInfo ID "IDS_TECH_RESEARCHFIELD_COMBAT" Value "Military" StringInfo ID "IDS_TECH_RESEARCHFIELD_DEFENSE" Value "Defense" StringInfo ID "IDS_TECH_RESEARCHFIELD_EMPIRE" Value "Civilian" StringInfo ID "IDS_TECH_RESEARCHFIELD_DIPLOMACY" &nbs
Need more info. Did you download version 1.00 (for Diplomacy/Trinity) from the link in the OP? http://distantstars.mmobase.com/diplomacy/Distant_Stars_(D)_1.00_%5B45685027%5D.7z When extracted and placed in your mods folder, do you have the correct folders in the correct places? When you run the game and enable the mod, do you get the correct checks
Don't know what to tell ya... When I got ForgeTools 3, of which the Galaxy Forge 3 was part of, I just run it from a folder on my desktop. Nothing else is required or added unless I'm creating maps for a mod, in which case I have the galaxyscenariodef file and some icons for each mod ready to be dropped into the forge folder for use. All I can think of is maybe it's looking for a copy of the game installed, but I've run it wi
Yes. You do sound insane... [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Most everyone here can create playable maps and write up stuff and answer questions, so if that's all you've got, then you should learn something else like creating particles, or meshes, or display an uncanny ability and desire to not only find, but eliminate bugs in the entity files (something I do quite well)... You know, stuff that's in demand. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] <p
(DS) *-----------------------------------------------------------* Dear Mr. Stolvey I have information that is of interest to you. Many years ago you attended an auction to purchase a recovered data block from a world invaded by the Vasari. Due to unavoidable circumstances the archive was unable to be sold. It is now once again available to the highest bidder. If you are still interested, please come to the Lavra Syst
The lore itself? Read the OP of that thread. There are no strict set of rules for that, merely guidelines we would like people to follow so that artistic liberties taken by people don't end up creating a conflict that screws people out of being able to create more content. The point is to be imaginative and fun, but still being relevant within the settings established by the game itself. As for the maps, there is a strict set of rule
Depends. If you're participating in the lore, you can create a lore map, otherwise, it's not a lore map even if you take names of stuff from the lore. There are rules that have to be followed with those maps. If you're just making a map, so be it, knock yourself out, have fun, go wild.
(DS Personal) The group of pirates from the Cursed Dagger, while under close watch of security, waste no time in causing a commotion. Each individual heads off to a different location around the town and promptly begins ignoring all of the rules of common courtesy, but not going so far as to get into serious trouble or arrested. Meanwhile, Captain Black makes good on his intent by setting up a private room to entertain guests who potentially would req
Jehovah's Witness? Funny. I just tell them I'm a polytheist and try to sell them on my religion before they can try to sell me on theirs. It's a fun game. They don't come to my door anymore. =( And I thought we were friends...
It's actually very easy to scale everything to approximately the right size and it isn't really all that much work... I believe Teal had created a little utility to easily resize any planet desired a couple of years ago. The problem is the time involved to actually play the game at the proposed scale. That aside, my largest concern would be the outer galaxy bubble that displays all of the stars and skyboxes. I'm not sure how dynamic it actually is, if it
