Fyron's Quadrant Mod Discussion Thread

I like sphere maps, but I am too lazy to make a bunch of them.

Raise the warp points per system and lower the angle between warp points.

My Hypermaze quadrants are set at 8 warp points and 40 degrees. I usually play it in a large quadrant with not all connected. Systems with 5-6 WPs are fairly common, and I remember one game where my home system had 7.

Geo, what did you do when making your sphere map? Did you make all the WPs in the Editor, or did you cheat and make them in the game, and move them to the proper location?

Anyone:
Map files are big! 5 of them are 900 kB zipped. I think I'll put them in a separate zip or something, cause if I have a lot of them, the mod file will get huge.

I just made one sphere map, then accidentally saved over it when I was working on a second one.

I made them all in the map generator. I started with a grid map and then added the wrap around warp points. I tried to do them in game, but it didn't work so well because the warp point would go to the right system, but be on the wrong side of the system. I suppose I could have created them and moved them, but I didn't see how that was much easier then just making them in the map editor to begin with.

That map editor really needs some changes. Need to be able to drag stuff. Ought to be able to click two systems and make a warp point between them, and then drag the ends in system where we want.

If you make them in-game and then edit them, you don't have to worry about getting all of the system names right. Just 1 HW with modded comps and no AIs is all you need.
