Creating an asteroid field

SWAHILI!!! · Post by **SWAHILI!!!** » Mon, 22. Oct 07, 18:46

Hello all, I was looking through the X3 scripting forum and I saw this link:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... c&start=0, and I thought that it would be very helpful if it was a script for X2, as I am currently working on custom map and it would take me forever to make a good, asteroid-filled Ore Belt, but if there was a script like this for X2 (or if a really good scripter could make it), I could have it done in a flash.
So, is there anyone out there who could make this script (if you do, please make a zip file, not a rar file).
Thanks,
S

I'm working on a script (in fact two) to do something similar: to place a random number of asteroids in a sector. According to the purpose of this script the asteroids tend to form asteroid fields. And I need to script to make dense asteroid fields. They will get part of a mod, that's why things get done this way.

If this is of any use for you, I can send you a (zipped) version. Right now there's a little problem: the distance between the asteroids are sometimes too small, but that may be a problem with the custom asteroids that come with the mod. They won't be thoroughly tested....

Hmmmm, it might work. How about you send me the file and I'll give you some feedback, okay?
Thanks,

Ok, I'll try to get it ready asap. I'm really busy at the moment so it may take a few days.
Just send me a PM with your email adress.
