Default Re: FQM 5.00 Beta 9

I do not plan to do so, no. However, if you install python, you can make this change to your copy of FQM quite easily. Open solarfnc.py in a text editor and edit these two lines (277 and 278):

buf += 'Obj ' + str(i) + ' Position ' + spaces(i) + ':= Offset ' + str(pnum) + ' Ring ' + str(ring) + '\n'
#buf += 'Obj ' + str(i) + ' Position ' + spaces(i) + ':= Same As ' + str(pnum) + '\n'

Simply comment the first line (put a # in the front), and uncomment the second:

#buf += 'Obj ' + str(i) + ' Position ' + spaces(i) + ':= Offset ' + str(pnum) + ' Ring ' + str(ring) + '\n'
buf += 'Obj ' + str(i) + ' Position ' + spaces(i) + ':= Same As ' + str(pnum) + '\n'

Next, run the _solar_systems.py script, either from a DOS prompt (double click a.bat to get one in the local folder) or by double clicking on the script file. This will recreate the SystemTypes.txt file with moons placed in the same sector as their parent planets (as well as the QuadrantTypes.txt file, but that doesn't change due to the moons).
