Call it:
Stormy Skys?

Stormy Skys... makes no sense, because ships go through space, not atmospheres. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

That makes sense from the perspective of a race confined to one planet. But from the perspective of a star-faring race, it is my opinion that "sky" wouldn't be used to refer to space. I could be wrong though, as I have never met a star-faring race. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Call your stormy system "Badlands"? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey Fyron, how about adding another quadrant type to the mod? One where the systems are all heavily interconnected. Lot's of warp points. Raise the warp points per system and lower the angle between warp points.

Your mod would also be a great place to have premade maps. You could include a maps folder with special maps made by you and others.

Geo, have you looked at 1.15 yet? It has a lot of Warp Point Heavy quadrants that already have 2x the # of WPs and 1/2 the angle between them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The Badlands is a good name though, and pre-made maps are cool too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

No, I had not looked at 115 yet, have now. That's the idea. Although I get crazy sometimes and like to play a game with a full ten warp points per system. Do that, raise the systems to 255, set the game to warp points located anywhere, and http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

If you want to include my Sphere Map in the next mod, go ahead. It's a grid map with wrap around warp points. No edges, and no corners. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I like sphere maps, but I am too lazy to make a bunch of them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My Hypermaze quadrants are set at 8 warp points and 40 degrees. I usually play it in a large quadrant with not all connected. Systems with 5-6 WPs are fairly common, and I remember one game where my home system had 7.

I think of the sky, and the night sky in particular as starting someplace above the local trees and extending to infinty.
It never ocured to me that the sky was limited to atmosphere.

Re: Fyron\'s Quadrant Mod (2.09 released! 1.22 released!)
 

Geo, what did you do when making your sphere map? Did you make all the WPs in the Editor, or did you cheat and make them in the game, and move them to the proper location?

Anyone:
Map files are big! 5 of them are 900 kB zipped. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I think I'll put them in a separate zip or something, cause if I have a lot of them, the mod file will get huge.
