Question re Map editor and Planet Pak 1.9
 

OK so I spend hours making a map then download the Trek mod and then the Planet image pak and then wehn I load my map many images are all wrong. ie warp points are now planets. And when I load the TrekMap I also notice many wrong things like suns that are ringworlds. and when u click them the game crashes. Anyone know what's up with this?

P.S. With my map I found that when I deleted all the new planet images and then return planets.bmp to the original it look ok. ???

Did you make the map with the Mod files or with the default files?

Arg this is getting wierder. Now When I click New Game I get a message "unable to load .... Planets/p0617.bmp". But If I quit and start a another New Game I don't get the message. If I quit that game and start New I do get it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Happens every other time. I also get it when editing a race.

Could someone please load this map up and see if it looks OK? I'm wondering if there is something wonky with my system. Look to see if the warp points look normal and the stars. (there should not be any ringworld images)

Looks OK to me.

Fairly large map, about 1/3 of the systems empty, I see Earth has no atmosphere (LOL) but a moon, and there are no direct links to Heaven http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Crusied around a little and checked several warp point connections and names and they seem to match up.

Not sure what ringworld images are but I saw one nebula and one of those brown pointy things (SW quadrant). Didn't check every system but about 3/4 of them.

Not sure what else to do.

Thanks Slinky.

Do you have any of the planet pak images installed?

(PS A ringworld image is a small one the same size as the planet image. It looks like a ring around a star. On my system many of the images seem to get replaced with them)

ARGGGGG This is frustrating. If I load my map in plain old unmodded SE4 it looks OK. But when I try to load in in the StarTrek Mod I get tons of images showing up wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Edit: Woohoo Got it to work by deleting SectType.txt from the mods data folder. Although why sectype.txt would have any effect on a saved map is a bit of a mystery

Like all the image paks they just add new ones and should not effect the old images. Thats what is so confusing.
