Default Re: Some questions about map creation

_the game freeze when I attempt to create Young map. Does anyone know why ?
Did you mean Newborn, perhaps? There is no "young" quadrant type. Exactly which quadrant type are you having trouble with? Also, are you using FQM Standard or Deluxe?

_sometime the placeholder 1 system is use (for spiral arm for example). Can it be because the sum of all system chance is not 1000 ? (I don't have check that)
No. SE4 places some of the first system in the SystemTypes.txt file in any map, regardless of whether the chance values for that quadrant add up to 1000 or not. You can just delete that placeholder in your FQM\Data\SystemTypes.txt file and it will no longer appear.

_How is chosen the warp point/ringworld/sphereworld when you create one ? And the asteroid file/storm/planet ? I believe the second case is different from the first but I can't figure out how these work.
Ringworlds and Sphereworlds have planet type and atmosphere matching that of your race when you create them. Created warp points use the "normal warp point" entry in Data\StellarAbilityTypes.txt.

Quote:
_Does the bad/medium/good starting planete check the actual size of the planéte or his position in PlanetSize ? (i.e. if the first entry of PlanetSize is 'Huge planéte' can it be chosen for a good start ?)
It checks the actual size values, using the hard-coded values. Any planet of size "medium" can be chosen as a homeworld in a game with average homeworld value.

Note that you should never choose a "bad" homeworld start in FQM. This will result in some races starting on large or huge worlds, depending on whether the game chose a "moon" or a "planet" as their homeworld.

_If I create an ringworld, then destroy it with a modded planet killer, what happen ? Is there a new star that I can sphereworld or should I make a new star ? And if an asteroid belt is created can I change it into a sphereworld or an vanilla huge planet ? It can be fun to fill a system with 20 sphereworld in every square. (or even just hugue planet)
You can only create a star in a system that has no star. So, all that you can do is get a huge pile of huge planets by repeatedly creating and destroying ringworlds.
