Just two questions for XeHonk

1.Im try to set the yield of the asteroids but every time i enter a number it return to 0. Am i doin something wrong, if yes wat am i doin wrong.

2.How do i select a nebula id, the same thing happens to the id box, when i put in an id number it returns to 0 even when i type in i.e 112(which is a proper nebula)

update:
added default items to all stations which didnt have 'em before
this should speed up creating maps a lot ^^
everyone say thanks to MISTERIO

@mike n:
just press enter to apply the new value..

well.. it's on my todo list for quite some time now, but it's got a pretty low priority ^^

The new version seems to not want to load my maps up...freezes up.

One small thing, how would i change the name of say a ship or station, eg. change Argon One to Argon Sonra?

<edit> argh, cant get any versions working now.

XeHonk i think maybe the problem is <o> instead of <universe> in the .xml map files.

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Wed, 12. May 04, 13:53

urrh.. lol

it's some incompability with java1.4 (/me hugs his 1.5)
this'll take 10 seconds to be fixed when i'm home

thanks for the errormessage..

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Wed, 12. May 04, 14:02

sunfire: if it's the o <-> universe thingy, just use notepad (or any other text editor) to fix the map..

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Wed, 12. May 04, 14:34

bugfix (only for jre1.4 users):
- jre1.4 compability when loading maps :] (galaxy editor would not load any maps after upgrading to 11.05.2004)

you maybe should consider upgrading to java1.5 if you encountered this bug

it's faster and it looks better

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Fri, 14. May 04, 01:25

Pre-Release - no longer available
- ability to create random galaxies (this isnt ready yet.. that's why it's only a pre-release ^^ it's working, but doesnt create all items i want, yet

)
- bugfix: default items for paranid shield factories caused x2 crashes

SunFire · Post by **SunFire** » Fri, 14. May 04, 04:45

Random Galaxys ...I like it !!

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Fri, 14. May 04, 22:32

update(14.05.2004)

-it's now possible to create random galaxies
-bugfix: default items of paranid shield factories caused crashes

note: the values for random creation are not tested yet (you can enter numbers that make no sense at all ^^)

no comments? *sob*

Not like I'm anyone important around here, but I just haven't had a chance to mess around with it. Between work, reading info about modding X2, Freelancer, Neverwinter nights and a private project I am working on, I have almost zero time to actually play the games I like.

I'll make a proper commentary about this tool as soon as I actually get a chance to experiment with it.

I like it, it spawns xenon and khaak sectors like crazy. Any way to make it do 300 sectors? And whats the deadly pirate option do?

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Sat, 15. May 04, 19:49

@lorddrow: i'll be happy about any comments

@sunfire:
- press enter to apply the changed settings (just like in the options dialog).. that way you'll get 300 sectors, too

- actually the races are spawned randomly.. so there should be about the same amount of sectors owned by each race.
it's just that the red of xenon and khaak sectors are too.. red

looks like there's more of 'em
- deadly pirates: m1 to m6 (+tl) ships in pirate sectors, and make all stations in pirate sectors pirate-owned
gives some extra thrill

SunFire · Post by **SunFire** » Sun, 16. May 04, 06:38

Sounds like my kind of pirates.

Cool i got 300 sectors working...i just noticed theres no unknown sectors though.

XeHonk · Post by **XeHonk** » Sun, 16. May 04, 12:08

well.. it's pretty hard to create hidden gates

and if the gates are not hidden, there's no real need for unknown sectors either.. :] who wants empty sectors anyway?
