Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
If someone would give me a complete specification of the savegame format of SEIV I would write a little program, which would try to produce a Starfury universe from that.
I could actually go even further later, trying to merge the Starfury savegame back into the SEIV savegame! (given the Starfury savegame specification)
Like if you destroyed a space station of those , it wil be gone on your SEIV save again. That would be cool, wouldn't it?

Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
I don't see this happening really. Perhaps it would be possible to import .map files, but not savegames.
Also it would be kinda problematic if you import the turns from your PBW games to Starfury.
A galaxy editor for SF would be real handy for modders. I reckon it would be easier to make a new tool to do that, instead of making SE4 .map files convertible to SF.

Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
That's exactly what I meant - a new, external tool which the user has to start by himself. And _if_ I find somewhere the specification of the savefiles, that's no problem, it's just a more or less dumb map of features from one game to another. But I really don't want to reverse-engineer the fileformat - would take me too much time than I am willing to spend.
Though there are lots of logic problems like I've never seen any pirate ships in SEIV, whereas in Starfury you get more pirates then merchants :-/ and other such things. Actually I haven't seen any merchants in SEIV as well...

Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
If we had a galaxy editor I would like to see a unit placer in it as well, so you can see both at the same time

Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
It's not possible to get a 1st person perspective in Starfury, is it?

Re: Import SE4 galaxies into Starfury
You could possible fudge it with the positioning controls, but in the stock game no.
