Re: placing notes?
You can actually place notes in the game by editing the history files. Not sure of the details, but there is at least one helper program (Ruatha's quite spectacular SE4 Companion ) allowing you to do so.
Note that earlier versions of the companion are slightly more stable and focus more on the feature you've just requested than on all the other... um... functions. |

Re: placing notes?
I dont find the system map one all that useful. It would be if it did something to show me that I had a note on a system. Like maybe change the color of the circle for that system which wouldnt cause a problem for the colors when they fill in the circle.

Re: placing notes?
yah Gandalf, I'm looking for something superior. Wish I knew something about coding or modding to put it in.
If you are alt-tabbing to notepad, could you give me an example of how you organize your notes?
also, I got the wiki page to work about SE4 companion, but the homepage for it seems to be down. Anyone know where else to obtain the file?

Re: placing notes?
If you are using notepad, here is a tip.
If the first line is just
.LOG
(all caps) then each time you open the file it will automatically add a date/time, and put you at the end of the file. Kindof handy for keeping track of todays stuff from yesterdays stuff.

Re: placing notes?
I've been using notepad for years and I never knew that. Interestingly enough, after I read that, I checked the notpad help and sure enough it's right there. Thanks, GP, I'm sure I'll use that function.
