Adding Ring and Sphere Worlds

[travislp]

Not Yet. I wasn't sure if it could be done so I wanted to ask first.

I don't know if it works or not. It isn't too hard to check.

You can't specify planet sizes other than Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, and Huge in SystemTypes.txt. Write Aaron and request!

But a check on the planet sizes has ring and sphere worlds size as huge. Using that logic if I put a huge planet at ring one ( where the star is ) would that put a ring or sphere world or would it just generate a huge planet on top of the star. Or is the name of the planet used to generate. In that case it won't work.

that would place a huge planet over the star. the reason that no RW and SW are added is the 'Constructed := True' setting.
copy and paste duplicates of the RW and SW with this setting to FALSE and the game should add them in the map creation.

edit: and set the 'Special Ability ID :=' for your random RW/SW to zero, just to make sure

Thanks Rollo, I'll give that a try and see what happens.

You could always create a Map yourself using the Editor and when starting the game 'Load' that map.
