Bummer! How can I build a system w/ 5 RW's then... How 'bout the 4 star systems? ...and what ability did you assign to the system?

Just curious - I'll dive into the files if I need to....

Click on the background of the system to see what abilities it has.

The 5 star systems have the Random Movement ability.

I'm coming up with an odd map error. The name of the planet is there but the pic isn't. I've got the Lastest planet pack so that's not the problem. If I click on the planet to get info about it I'm getting this error: unable to find... p8193.bmp, which is not a valid pic number. Why would the game even try to use a pic number that high? This is crashing the game and driving me nuts!

Fryon,
If a map is created in FQM Deluxe will it work on PBW?

I had that problem IIRC and I think it has to do with the Planets.bmp vs. the NewPlanets.bmp files. You have to rename NewPlanets.bmp to Planets.bmp (after you save the original of course ).

At least I think that was the fix I'm pretty sure that was one of the common mistakes. Anyways IF would know for sure....

Only if the game is using the FQM Deluxe mod. If not, then the map will not work.

There is no mention of pic p8193.bmp in SectType.txt. Are you sure that is the correct number that the error message gives?

Yes, I've installed the planet pack correctly and renamed the file as needed.

Fyron, I'm positive, that is the bmp it's calling for. What I can't figure out is why.
