Removing Nebulae and Asteroids

[sithlord24]

Anyone know how to remove nebulae and asteroids from the space maps? Or does that require the map tools that petro hasn't released yet?

 

I just wanted to see if anyone found a way to do this through the game files before I fool around with it and see if its possible.

 

Why are there nebulae near planets anyways? Its not like that in Star Wars lore or in the real universe so why??? I think that if the nebulae were removed and the asteroids partially, it would open up the space combat and adhere more closely to lore.

Your better off trying to make a space map from scrach and making it blank

i kno its possible some one got rid of astroids in that one map on the demo so its some where good luck on it

I believe that your going to have to use the map editor to do that. Though it is not released yet, so for now you will just have to put up with the nebula and asteroids

well looks like im gonna be waiting for that editor then. i just hope there's a way to do it without removing the planet backgrounds unlike what one of the demo mods did.

Exactly how long we going to wait for said map editor

You can get rid of nebulae and asteroids by commenting them out/deleting them in spaceprops.xml. Only problem is it made the planets disappear as well, and I don't think I modifed them. Also, it removes them in every map, so you can't have some in some maps and none in others.

Edit: I deleted the nebulae and asteroids instead of commenting them out, and the planets show up again.

The thing is, nebulae may not exist in any of the movies, but they do exist in real life. Then again, some nebulae in real life stretch for light-years...

just to clarify, i know they exist but not right next to planets as they do in-game, or at least i've never seen that before.
