Sect Type.txt
 

Well...I didn't want to start a new thread but I'm getting frustrated looking through the old ones.

Heres the question...all I want to do is add a few planet pictures to my game for a little variety. I have the planet image mod pack but am sick of @!#@$%!@ing around with the stupid SectType.txt file that never seems to match the planets.bmp. All I wanted was a nice simple eye candy mod...and ended up with hours and hours of tedium. Help please! Anyone know where I can find a SectType.txt file...nothing fancy...just with a few extra planets tacked on the end?

Thank you much

There is an off-by-one "error" in the planet stuff.

Find the planet image you want, and subtract 1 from that number (IIRC) to get the value you need to type into the secttypes.txt

FQM Deluxe (linked in sig) has a SectType.txt with nearly all of the planets (the good ones) in the Image Mod in it. Feel free to use it to cut down on the workload. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks much! Your signature was strangely absent...but I'll find it. I love tinkering around with SE but with fun stuff...like AI's or speech files or even design names...not stupid planet numbers...and there are only so many hours in the day.

Oh yes...and the number off by one thing...yeah...I figured that out...but had too much Rage(tm) - not sure why the "tm" is there - to deal with it. I've been SE deprived of late and was getting impatient. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Again...thanks to all for the help.

P.S. These people have a lot of Rage(tm) too...
