Max systems in Gold?

Captain Kwok · #1 March 12th, 2002, 05:23 AM

Quick question...gold raised the max number of systems to 300, or am I just dreaming?

Captain Kwok · #2 March 12th, 2002, 05:34 AM

Ok. The max number of systems is still 255...the 300 systems was in reference to how many system types you could have in the quadranttypes.txt data file.

Rats.

I tried 200, and for some reason a vast majority of the systems did not have names. Is this because there are probably only 100 names.

That's the reason why. There are some downloads with much more systemnames in the download section, maybe on the gold disk (i don't know, still waiting on my Version).

Yes, the eyecandy mod on teh gold (written by me) has over 3000 systemnames in the file.

Now if only we could have that many systems in the game.

The system name file in the B5 Mod has around 250 systems as well - all from the B5 universe, natch!

OOH, point me in the direction for this Bab5 mod.

How do I make my games create the extra systems (200+)? Do I just edit a text file?

And then afterwards, do I just add in extra system names to systemnames.txt?

You need to edit settings.txt. It's near the top of the file. DON'T set it over 255, the game will crash.

After that, add more system names to systemnames.txt. Otherwise, the extra systems will be unnamed.

EDIT: clarified.
