Modding Questions - Shattered Realms

[clark]

Cool, thanks for the replies! Sorry Spoon, you're right, there are different atmosphere types, I didn't see them at first.

Question: I'm looking through the SectType.txt files and I notice that under the "Allowable Values for Physical Type:" the following atre listed: None, Planet, Asteroids, Storm, Sun, Warp Point, Destroyed Star, Comet

Now, what happens if I give it a "None" physical type, but then add in lines defining the planet?

It looks like this:

Physical Type := Planet (Change to NONE?)
Picture Num := 0
Description := Huge Forest near an abundance of surface minerals.
Planet Size := Huge
Planet Physical Type := Gas Giant
Planet Atmosphere := Carbon Dioxide

Okay, now I realize I need to keep the Carbon Dioxide refrence, and the Gas Giant refrence in order to define the planet- but what happens if I do that, but give it a physical type of None?

I am trying to think of ways to avoid the 'planet' naming on uncolonized spots. Perhaps this may be a way to cheat it.

And yes, I plan on begging, borrowing, and stealing any manner of art out there since i have zero ability. I have DO, so I plan on using alot of the bitmaps there. Well done Spoon!
