resize galactic map area?


Taurian

Recommended Posts

---Taurian, mind that already expanded-galaxy mods provide the maximum 80 planets; more than 80 planets and the system lags horribly---

 

Well, untill we can get around that, i think it would be cool to have all of the planets, in their correct place. Dont have to load them all into the GM at once, they can be loaded for specific maps, whatever. Just want them to be available, thats all.

About zooming the galactic camera out farther; While I know it CAN be done, I have no idea how.

 

Do any of you know where that line is?

 

I just need it to work well enough to take one screenshot of the entire galaxy, for map-making purposes.

the lines you are looking for are :

 

<!-- GMC - Galactic Mode camera 3D galaxy map settings -->

<GMC_InitialPitchAngleDegrees>-30.0</GMC_InitialPitchAngleDegrees>

<GMC_ZoomedPitchAngleDegrees>-35.0</GMC_ZoomedPitchAngleDegrees>

<GMC_InitialPullbackDistance>75.0</GMC_InitialPullbackDistance>

<GMC_ZoomedPullbackPlanetRadiusFraction>3.0</GMC_ZoomedPullbackPlanetRadiusFraction>

<GMC_ZoomedPositionOffsetPlanetRadiusFractions>0.0, 0.0, 1.05</GMC_ZoomedPositionOffsetPlanetRadiusFractions>

<GMC_ZoomTime>0.65</GMC_ZoomTime>

<GMC_Battle_Zoom_Time>1.0</GMC_Battle_Zoom_Time>

<GMC_Battle_Fade_Time>0.75</GMC_Battle_Fade_Time>

 

this is the main line you need worry about:

<GMC_InitialPullbackDistance>75.0</GMC_InitialPullbackDistance>

 

its normal setting is 700, about 1000 will let you see it all. i have mine set to 75 for modding purposes, so ignore that.

sithman1138: hey, I've got a "mod" that i've been working on, it was kinda buggy, but i just finished some fixing on it. Lanaus_Caspian - has a copy of the original, told him to share if he wants. you want to try out the fixed one? it lets you make and use jedi like normal ground forces. sith and jedi (i.e. the emperor and obi-wan) i changed some of the voice stuff to, so we didnt have to here the same stuff from them non-stop

If you need infos about thw planets of the sw galaxy try this link:

http://theforce.net/swenc/

It's the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia...but it contains all the informations you may need about planets, ships, charachters, and more.

Everything.

Here you can find not only the movies planets, but the ones described in comics, books, novels, ecyclopedies, and games as well...

There is no galaxy map however

Hello... I hate to burst your bubble on this but 200 planets is NOT doable.. the limit appears to be 100 and thats still almost unplayable... This was tested on very high end machines... and the game slowed to a crawl. I did a mod for 64 planets. That seems to have gotten some great response.

This mod affects the Empire at War conquest only. However you may add the locations to any conquest if you want. Here is the orginal thread....

Also... I released a mod that puts the Imperial Naval Troopers back in the game and makes them buildable barracks units.

ok, confession time: I did map out 776 star systems, and have it ready to go, but....I gave up on it. I stated adding the planets to my planets.xml, and everything actually works just fine (mind you, i've only added about 10 planets at this point). and then I realize something. For every planet that I add, if I do it correctly, what with history, encyclo., text, blah blah blah, I hace to create some 10 odd new files for each planet. at 776 planets (and this is reusing old maps too), that gives me some 7760 files/entries to make.....so i gave up. to big for me. sorry to waste everyones time on it though. T.

So, what IS the conclusion?

 

Are more then 100 Planets doable?

 

Is there a GC-Editor so far?

I was told, that z3r0x is working on one.

 

I'd like to see what u got so far, Taurian, would u send it to me as well?

fynbos [at] kernwaffe [dot] de
