This looks awesome, I would love it, but I see a lot of people requesting it get finished. May I ask why people are asking that? Would it be less than desirable to use it in its current condition? It requires a restart which is unfortunate as I don't really want to do that, but I will if it is worth it. Is it acceptable to use in its current condition?

Depends.
Some sectors are using backgrounds designed for debugging (someone could replace the test backgrounds with the defaults).
One sector has a planet which destroys everything in it.
I posted a script for that a page or 2 or 3 or 4 ago.
Otherwise, it is playable.

What's the situation of this mod. If only connary could finish it ...

nap_rz · Post by **nap_rz** » Fri, 31. Dec 10, 12:58

this cannot be used in existing (saved) game?

There might be some problems with lightning in the sectors if you apply this mod into your ongoing game. It's advised to start new adventure.

Sorry for the lack of info. At this moment i dunno when i will finish this mod. Its first in my priority of free time. I need to redo all the last modifications cause my xuniverse doc was corrupted. Only need to get this free time.

Adding it to a current game will cause it to not have the correct background/star numbers for the sectors, so you will see the wrong graphics.

sooo how do I know it's correct or not?

I tried starting a new game and Uranus is covered by blue vapor.... is that normal??? I feel not?!

does cat/dat positioning matters? I have CMOD/SRM packs installed before this

Is the glowing nebula supposed to be covering the planet? http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/2408 ... 215318.jpg

I read that somewhere in this thread, that's a confirmed bug...

btw that's my screenshot

too bad we can't use this mod in ongoing game

with X games as complex and time consuming as they are not everyone willing to abandon their running game only for something that IMO should've been done by the developer.

There have been volunteers to make this into a MD mod.
Essentially you will be able to have all the new backgrounds, planets, and suns added to your game.. plus the suns you already had.

Since there is not a way to remove suns.
However multiple suns of multiple colors sometimes makes things look amazing.

I would very much like to see that

its a bit of work, however using excel it should be easier.
the x3_universe.xml has the sector x,y coord, sun color and location, background number, and planet number, location, and size.

SE would go through and destroy every planet.
MD takes the sector x, y
and modifies the background number,
creates any planets in the sector,
and creates the sun.

One glitch with this, is that the extra suns will increase every sectors energy cell output.

Plus, I'm hesitant about adding planets, unless none overlap any of the vanilla stations. IMO, no planet's atmosphere should be within 100km of a sector's center.

will this be done for all sectors at once? maybe less burdening to do that per player visit... so only change when the player is IS

It would be applied to every sector at once, but only effective upon the next visit to a sector.
Small and quick. It shouldn't take much time or power.

The problem is the time it takes to convert the sun colors to RGB and input every sector into MD.

WOW, this mod realy looks awesome - especialy the "FOG BLUE SECTORS"
