Default Re: How do I create a planets.bmp file?

Just wanted to say thanks for the pointers...
I used SJ's planets.bmp, expanded it out to 1799 pixels tall (for all 1000 objects), drew a clean grid on it, and I've been merrily moving pics around to fit my scheme. almost done (5 hours later.. heh) and preliminary testing is excellent so far.

When I'm done I'll be posting a mod that I'm working on for a pbw game. More info soon...

ok-

I finished creating the planets.bmp; all of the art works, and matches up to the planet files correctly.
However-
the secttype is not matching! All of the stellar objects get the size/description 1 off from the secttype, yet the #'s match. I am completely baffled now.

ideas?

A lot of the image types are offset by 1. Just change all the numbers in SectType.txt by 1 (IIRC, subtract 1, cause they start at 0).

I got it figured out yesterday. That is the most counter-intuitive part of this game I've come across. Why didn't they match the #'s in the secttype to the image #'s????

gees. All fixed now.

heh.
