It is 100% possible to do that.

All systems would be the same, right? Just a single planet of a single size. You only need one entry in SystemTypes.txt. It can have movement towards center. An ability of 6 means it will be pulled to the center from anywhere in the system.

You like that? I thought it was a nice touch.

Hold down the alt key while typing 0153. I wanted to use it in the name and description in the PBW file library as well, but unfortunatly the PBW code doesn't seem to like it. Came out as a question mark, at least on my machine.

I have the map ready. It's a 42 system map with 8 common starting positions, based as exactly as I could make it on the board that comes with the original game. I am going to hold off releasing a new Version until I get the AI not colonizing issue worked out and add in supply usage, but if anyone wants a sneak peek at the map... YOU CAN GET IT HERE.

Is there a list of all the neat "alt" keystrokes?

You should have a "Character Map" on your computer (at least if you're using Windows XP like me) I think its default location is Start>>Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Character Map

I couldn't find the � sign on the character map, but there's a whole bunch of others there like:

� � � � etc.

BTW, when using the character map, be sure to hold down Alt and type the numbers on the keypad, not the numbers along the top of your keyboard.

Also I'm going to put together a map modeled off the game board.

Expect these changes in the next Version in a day or two. If anyone has any other suggestions, let's hear them.

Geoschmo

An idea...
If you are making a map, could you put the planet at the center of the system, with a WP on it, then have "Super Damaging Asteroids" or something in three lines out from this planet, and right next to it.

Put the other (if any) WPs one in each sector, right next to the planet. This gives up to four connection points and requires movement through the planet to continue. I think the AI would even obey without extra programming. Most, but sadly not all, Risk� lands will fit in this.
