Cool, thanks for the replies! Sorry Spoon, you're right, there are different atmosphere types, I didn't see them at first.
Question: I'm looking through the SectType.txt files and I notice that under the "Allowable Values for Physical Type:" the following atre listed: None, Planet, Asteroids, Storm, Sun, Warp Point, Destroyed Star, Comet
Now, what happens if I give it a "None" physical type, but then add in lines defining the planet?
It looks like this:
Physical Type := Planet (Change to NONE?)
Picture Num := 0
Description := Huge Forest near an abundance of surface minerals.
Planet Size := Huge
Planet Physical Type := Gas Giant
Planet Atmosphere := Carbon Dioxide
Okay, now I realize I need to keep the Carbon Dioxide refrence, and the Gas Giant refrence in order to define the planet- but what happens if I do that, but give it a physical type of None?
I am trying to think of ways to avoid the 'planet' naming on uncolonized spots. Perhaps this may be a way to cheat it.
And yes, I plan on begging, borrowing, and stealing any manner of art out there since i have zero ability.
I have DO, so I plan on using alot of the bitmaps there. Well done Spoon!
