Check mine

I heard a rumor that 255 is only the limit the game generator can make, and that you can manually make and load maps exeding this limit.
Can anyone confirm?

Re: starmaps
 

You should be able to try it easy enough. I am pretty sure I did once and it gave me an RCE when I tried adding the 256th system. But lately when I say I have tested something and found such and such, I have a habit of still being incorrect. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Imperator Fyron - thanks for the information
Andrés Lescano - i have downloaded you system names also, thanks.
Andrés Lescano, geoschmo & Imperator Fyron - unfortunately 255 systems is the maximum, i did get the range check error when adding the 256th system.
so much for trying to avoid being limited to just wormhole travel. i was hoping to simulate hyperspace/warp/jump travel across the galaxy and keep the existing warp points as shortcuts. plus have hidden star systems to explore and find.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You might enjoy my Hypermaze mod. In the Gold-compatible Version (2.0), only about half of the systems are "normal" space, and the rest are hyperspace systems.

(In the v1.49 "classic"-compatible Version (1.2), about 60% of the systems were hyperspace.)

Re: starmaps
 

capnq downloaded your mod. i like the way you simulated hyperspace movement. can battle in hyperspace.
