Map editor

OT

Geo,
I did update just to see what will happen.

everyone,
I did notice this about the game --- If you change the path name from mod back to none in mid game. The added races will use standard race ship sets. And when you switch back to mod then they al go back to their correct shipsets.
Not sure if they start using default AI's are not. still testing.

BOT
Yes,
you have to add all the planets first then rename them.

I just created a WP hidden behind a storm cloud.
This is going to make for some interesting maps.

I am really impressed by the map editor. The possibilities seem almost endless to me and it will let us create very different games. And I just love the SE III layout!
Excellent work MM and thank you very much!

It's still not working. After I name the first planet, I get a range check error when I try on the next. I first tried moding an existing system, then I created a whole new one, but I still got the error message. It's not a really big problem, but it indicates that there could be other problems with the editor.

Rules? What Rules?

Just one small question: Has anybody found a possibility to check which system names have already been used in a map?
If you add a system when already 200 are present, it's quite difficult to control which system names already exists. You can apparently choose the same name for two systems without an error message.

I might have found the problem:
The roman numbers I, II, III etc. seem to be necessary. If I rename a planet just "Earth" I get the same error Messages as you but if I name it "Earth III" everything is fine.
