Thanks, yeah I also wanted to know about colours now, and also where to find the backdrops and music.

Quick note, I see once you place a station and make race, owner and faction the one you want, save and load, the tile colour will change. It does not change Realtime.

Getting a CTD on that log file, no doubt its got something to do with - [=ERROR=] 0.00 Macro not found: PUR_galaxy_macro - any help would be appreciated

Great tool btw, tho a bit rough around the edges. I might PR some fixes in if I get a moment if you guys want the help

Something went wrong during the export to mod. Can you get me the json file you created so I can investigate ? Any help is welcome, especially if someone volunteers to write the entire help.html file

This is a known bug , you should be able to right click drag and drag the galaxy in the middle of the viewport. It's on our todolist to fix

If you add a station to the sector for a faction DEFENSE, WHARF, SHIPYARD, TRADE... and you open the map editor again it should change colour. It's also a know bug and on the todolist. We have a trello board going where we keep track of bugs. I'm at work now so I don't have the link handy.

Backdrops and music can be found in the mapdefaults.xml if you extract the game files from the CAT/DAT files. I could make a list once I get home from work

@celludriel awesome, thanks for the reply. Would be really cool if you could add backdrop and music in a dropdown, but not expected. A list will be awesome though.

You could technically use your own music and backdrops, just not with the tool in its current state

The link to the Trello board is in my first post. So keep an eye on that for any bugs you might see. If its not on there post it here and we can add it to the list.

If I get time tonight I will fix the sectors not changing on adding/updating stations as well as merging the changes celludriel has already done and get a new version out for you guys to play with.

[OneOfMany]

This has real potential.

Great job folks.

[Tomonor]

Huge potential. Very-very awesome work!

Is it possible you guys can figure out to implement superhighways? I want to create Rebirth-style universe with the most superhighway eyecandy. I'm speaking of connecting planetary bodies real-time while buzzing the magic tube's directions up-down-left-right.

[killerog]

New version released. This includes bug fixes by celludriel and a new version of the generator, along with changing/adding stations changes cluster colours.

[saa044]

I have not looked in the new version yet and to be honest I forgot for a moment if there are silicon asteroids, to many space games lol. But if there are, I could not find silicon rocks in the generator.

The regular ORE belt has a mix of silicon and ore so there is always available.

Problem seemed to be the ID's, changing them for number strings seems to have fixed it. Probably better to just use numbers anyway, much more straight forward and reduces complexity

This has been fixed in the latest release

[Cappy1401]

It is not possible to export a map as soon as a station has been set in the map.

When comparing the JSON files from two maps, huge differences are also visible.

Have both maps as an archive.

In the folder functional is the file of the map which can be exported with stations.
In the second folder is the file, which I have created, this can only be exported without any station.
If only one station is set in my map, the export is no longer possible.

Please take a look at it, because the great thing about it is really awesome.

Map-Archive


Sorry for Bad Englisch, its Googletrans

Greeting Cappy1401

[celludriel]

Thanks I found a bug in the json output, the new private fields should never have gone into the json.

I'll put in a fix and see if badger has time to release a new version

Seems someone beat me to it

https://github.com/killeroguk/X4GalaxyCreator/pull/26

I've asked badger to merge the fixes and bring out a release

[killerog]

Merged the fixes, so thanks to whoever did that. Ill release a new version tomorrow night or at the weekend with these fixes included.

[Cappy1401]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I also noticed something.

Some of the Factions have the same color for me, including: Ministry, Player, Ownerless and None.

The color is a kind of pink, which makes it impossible to determine which faction it is.

Here are four screenshots.

In the upper left corner are the four sectors where it will show.

On the right is visible, which factions are set.

I use Win 10-64Bit

Screenshot 2

Screenshot 3
