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
The Grumpster

Re: Sect Type.txt
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

Re: Sect Type.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.  |

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. 
Again...thanks to all for the help.
P.S. These people have a lot of Rage(tm) too...

Re: Sect Type.txt
This site is too cool. The "Stormtroopers Vs. Redshirts" was a laugh riot. Hmmm. what sort of SEIV Grudge Matches could we come up with...?

The "Death Star vs. Enterprise" one is quite amusing, too!

Re: Sect Type.txt
SE4 vs. MOO2
SE1 vs. MOO3 
Battlemoon vs. 100 Escorts (hmm, should try that in the simulator )
WMG vs. Stellar Converter
P&N vs. Proportions vs. Devnull (yes I know Fyron you would want Adamant on there too but these 3 are finished mods! )
Destroying Stars vs. Destroying Planets One at a Time to Prolong the Agony!
Ringworlds vs. Sphereworlds (is the added construction cost worth it? who ever fills a ringworld up anyway?)
Aaron Hall vs. Suicide Junkie (in a test to see who has more inside knowledge of the guts of SE4! )
