Re: OT: Building a new computer...

not a rebooting issue... unless, rebooting within a minute of a boot is acceptable. My point is XP isn't all sugar and spice... heck, when I click apply or ok in the "Task Bar and Start Menu" XP...

Re: OT: Building a new computer...

Honest... my XP doesn't work that well. I have to end process repeatedly and wait 5 minutes for the process to be dumped... and single non-responsive applications are always hanging other apps.

Re: Ideal 4x Travel

The mega-stack fleet size problem, should be dealt with as a function of command efficiency, supply issues, and other factors leading to "diminishing returns".

I find the strategy of turtling...

Re: Ideal 4x Travel

I think warp points are overly delimiting for developing realistic strategies... However, this is vastly outweighed by the limits in AI and definable strategies. If the game was smart, then I'd dump...

Re: Planet Textures

What I managed to do was create a new planet size, and link that exclusively to my orbiting bitmap moons, to replace tiny planets.
However, SE5 map generation seems to undo my changes, while the...

Is Atmospheric Conversion completely hardcoded? It would be nice to have the resulting planet be based on certain factors, like the original planet's terrain, or other data. So that ringed planets...

Re: Planet Textures

One thing to consider is keeping only three colors of the 12, plus Terran for Oxygen and, of course, None.
Red for Hydrogen, Indigo for Methane, and maybe Green for Carbon Dioxide. Messing with the...

Re: Planet Rotation Speeds

I am pretty happy with my planets spinning just twice as fast 0.0002. In testing, I had them going 0.001 and I think there was too much motion on the map.

If I recall correctly, the Random() calls...

Okay, here is what I did... It is a tilted huge (size: 7) Rock Planet with a Snowball Moon in an equatorial orbit. The moon also orbits faster than the planet spins.

Right, those are the coordinates directions... so if you go to the overhead view of the system map, then my earlier post will make sense.

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

You have Y and Z reversed. The hex grid is on the XY Plane... so change +Z to +Y, -Y to -Z, etc.

The Starting Rotate is not motion, just the initial fixed planetary orientation.

Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

For the rotations, percents still leave it as 50% = 180 degrees, 25% = 90 degrees, etc...
