Re: More planet sizes
SJ, Jsut out of curiosity about your Null planet problem. Were you specifiying the new planet sizes in your systemtypes.txt file?
Admiral had a planet size mod that had the same problems with null planets. We got it to work by removing any instance in the systemtypes file where it was specifying one of the new planet sizes. As long as we let it only use the new sizes for the "any size" planets it worked fine and we had no null planets. If you can confirm this it might be worth sending to malfador as a possible bug.

Re: More planet sizes
Interesting theory.
I wanted to use those new types specifically as moons, and "any size" dosen't work that way 
So, yes, I was specifying them explicitly.
If you're right, then I could use the tiny label for the micro moons, and space out the larger names, since it would be OK to randomly pick them...

Re: More planet sizes
Well right now it's just a theory. It's been several months since I dealt with it and I am not sure I am remembering it exactly right. I know at one point we were getting null planets, and in the end we weren't. It seems like that was what we figured out was causing it. I would be interested to see if anyone can confirm that independantly.

Re: More planet sizes
I ran into the same problem once when I attempted to make random generated systems include a few ring worlds and sphere worlds.

Re: More planet sizes
There is any way to generate maps with random ringworlds in them?

Re: More planet sizes
HP Delron,
there is a mod that includes 2 planet sizes past huge. It's called Admiral System mod, and it includes a gigantic and titanic planet sizes. However, I can't remember which file I need to add so that I can include it in a mod. Does anyone who's ever used this mod can tell me which files I need to overwrite so that I can use this mod in most of the mods out there I'd appreciate it.

Re: More planet sizes
Hmmm.
I think I may have something here...
Before, I was adding the planets to the top of the PlanetSize.txt ... mainly so they would count as the right size for SM techs.
I've moved them to the bottom, and I haven't seen any null-planets yet...
