[TOOL] Copy Universe Aesthetics (BG, Sun, Planet)

[Jack08]

To Copy all background, sun and planet data from one universe file to another universe file, follow these instructions:

• Step1: Install Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org (do not use 3.x)
• Step2: Create a new folder anwhere on your computer and name it anything you like
• Step3: Create the following file: "CopyAesthetics.py" and copy and paste the script below into this file
• Step4: Extract and place the Universe XML witch holds the visual data you want to copy in the same folder as the python script and name it "x3_universe_source.xml"
• Step5: Extract the Universe XML witch you would like to input visual data to and place it in the same fodler as the python script and name it "x3_universe_target.xml"
• Step6: Execute(Double Click) the script, A "x3_universe_output.xml" file should be created
• Step7: Rename the "x3_universe_output.xml" file to "x3_universe.xml"
• Step8: ???
• Step9: Profffffit!

Mind that in AP some objects are placed by x3universe_war.xml.

Just heads up
