Galaxy Def Help Needed

Hey guys.

I need help here.

Im tryin to create my own galaxy. I fill out the galaxy.def file and then create the sub folders for the systems and their def files. This works nice. I get the systems in the system drop down, I can select the regions and I can play missions in them. BUT here is the problem I cant see all the systems on the galaxy map.

I have 2 systems, lets call them Sys1 and Sys2, when I select one of them in the drop down and hit map then galaxy button I only see the selected system.

I have links from Sys1/Region1 to Sys2 and vise versa.

Do I for each system need to create "star:" definition for the other systems? Sounds very redundant if that is the case.

This is how my Galaxy file looks.

Code: Select all

 GALAXY
 
 system: { loc: (72.0, 71.0,  71.0), class: F, iff: 0, name: "Sys1"}
 system: { loc: (82.0, 81.0,  80.0), class: R, iff: 2, name: "Sys2"}

Just curious. Where did you get the doc on creating "Galaxies"? I'd love to have any information about this. I don't think it's on the Mod SDK site. Thanks,

"Star" structures are only for unplayable systems.

Wow, went to the site, found another thread to Mehrune's site. LOT'S of good info there. Is anyone working on assembling alot of this extra material into an SDK FAQ/Manual? The website's fine, but I'd prefer a detailed manual.

Thanks all for the information.

Hey Tex, have you tried placing the star systems closer together? Like just a couple of parsecs apart?
