FrontEnd is, by default, a random map. Setting it to not be a random map is likely the issue you have, when I set it to a non-random map I get a minidump as well.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="80" id="2937001"] Oh you have not messed with the galaxy forge/map files much have you? You can place almost anything on a map except starbases, and even that you can do if you are clever enough with your modding (though sadly you can't define their position). The hard part is actually to make sure the opposing fleets don't destroy each other, but I have several ideas of how to deal with that too. I'll be making a proof of concept mod in about two

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="77" id="2936861"]Haha, sweet! More Karma for you and BadTune. Custom intro battles here we come. [/quote] I gotta ask, how exactly do you plan to get a custom battle working? As maps only let you place planets and not planet objects... Though I'd be happy to help with this as I'd love to see custom battles in as well.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="75" id="2936844"] Hmm, interesting. Do you know if it uses a specific map to pick those groups? Because I really can't apply custom templates to random worlds without changing the template for every individual planet in those groups. I suppose I could just make copies of the original weighted random/random and change every map to use those, then make some new planets with the desired default template to put under WeightedRandom/Random, so thanks for the i

Not a question, but I recall awhile ago one or more people were wondering if it is possible to play with the backdrop that shows up when the game boots up. I'm pleased to say that this is possible, and that I have done so. The scene generator or whatever it's called uses the Random, WeightedRandom, and RandomStar (groups from GalaxyScenarioDef) to generate the backdrop. An exa

[quote who="BadTune" reply="13" id="2936775"]I did try the exhaust update false, does nothing, I answered it in some other thread, think it was DS lol I edited my post. But yeah, tried a few things and there was no change, kinda disappointed. I think the GS section has to do with that first generated "galaxy" for the menu background, the first option in the list of them gets rid of any animation/planets/moving behind the UI completely, all you get is the star background[/quote] Thanks

While I didn't intend to use this for any of the stock factions, Sins just isn't accepting this change for some reason. Something tells me the fact that fighters do not normally have shielding and that ingame even with this ability shielded fighters do not have shields showing up in their health/antimatter bar has something to do with it. Unfortunately, I believe that this is something only IC can change; another hardcoded limit has been confirmed.

^I like this one. The front part of it looks as if it can open, like the Venator in Star Wars, which is a nice touch. The bridge windows seem a bit off to me for some reason. Carrier ship I'm assuming?

Oh, a little point of interest for those here, if randomizeStartingPositions is set to FALSE in any of the Random maps, the maps will still be random, however, player 1 will be next to player 2 who is next to player 3, etc. etc. This is a very simple change, and can be easily done for either a mod or vanilla Sins (in the main Galaxy file).

[quote who="Heero_Miiyamoto" reply="1644" id="2935857"]all of my ships seem to have a brownish tinge to them. Is that normal? Although I do love all of the new planets, my heart still belongs to the urban planet mesh in DS. IT just looks more like what Coruscant looks like.[/quote] For the tinge, this depends on the sun in the system your ships are in. Different suns cause different tinges, so yeah this is normal. On the Urban mesh; in the current SoGE Coruscant would be represen

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="26" id="2933260"]If the existing engine can be worked over to use multiple cores i think we will have 2/3rds of the problems solved.[/quote] I recall, at some point, perhaps it was merely a suggestion/rumor, to make the engine work by rendering certain things on different cores. Ex. Ships on one core, with planets on another. Not sure if it's even possible with the engine, though it would make for an interesting workaround which may help.
