Flat Galaxy Map / Square Galaxy Map [2013-07-21]
as the name says this mod removes the 3D effect from the GalaMap mesh. the Flat Galaxy Map is just a flat version of the vanilla GalaMap. but the Square Galaxy Map is completely made from scratch.
Features:
Flat Galaxy Map
- flat yet still deformed
- made from X3TC/AP v2.5 sources
- doesn't invoke **modified**, even when used as fake-patch
[ external image ]
Square Galaxy Map
- all sectors aligned to a square grid
- terran sectors moved out of the normal sectors and reordered to look like original X3TC/AP v2.5
- nodes for ALL possible sectors and short gates (except unfocused jump sector)
- nodes for X3TC/AP v2.5 long gates
- sectornames shifted for better readability (still overlapping on very long sectornames)
- doesn't invoke **modified**, even when used as fake-patch
[ external image ]
Square Galaxy Map (Trishift)
- trishifting sectornames for maximum readability
- everything else like Square Galaxy Map
[ external image ]
Square Galaxy Map (Noname)
- removed all sectornames
- everything else like Square Galaxy Map
[ external image ]
Installation:
extract the 7zip file to your X3TC folder and you can select the mod at game start. these mods can be safely enabled/disabled at any time without harming your savegames.
you may use the CAT/DAT as fake-patch without becoming ***modified***.

i looked for a way to change the font or size but it seems like that is hardcoded into the game.MegaJohnny wrote:I wish we could put a tiny little pixel font on the galaxy map so it doesn't clutter up the screen.
to make matters even worse the sectornames are aligned to the right bottom of their nodes, so when you zoom in it seems like the names are moving left upwards. i cant even change the direction of the names, everything else can be rotated like a whirlpool .
hmm.... , sector spacing is still the same since my first try, i think that's called a lucky guess .MegaJohnny wrote:Sectors look a bit closer, making it more compact, and the structure of the sectors is more instantly recognisable.

Hello. I am posting here hoping you are watching this thread for replies. I tried to PM you but no luck with that route.
I am asking for permission to use your square galaxy map in my vanilla-safe visual enhancement mod pack.
It will be posted here in the forums and of course there is no charge for anything (that seems to come up a lot when asking for permissions).

In case SunBlade does not return your message (as he has been away for a while)
You can either try one I made here or make your own using DIMOSUS' MapTools_V2.
