Select the mod, then click on the edit maps.

Ok, I did that, the map launches, but for warp points I get ringworlds - which tells me that something ain't working right.

ALSO, I know that it's been talked about before here, but this subject is so long I don't want to wade through the whole thing. What's the program everyone uses to modify the shipsets and etc? Obviously it's not the drawing program that comes with winblows.

I will look into the map editor thing, but I honestly don't think it is a mod issue as it seems to be working fine for me. I will see if I can duplicate the problem your having.

I used DOGA to make many of the ship sets used in the mod. The Federation - Klingons - Romulans - and UCP ships are from Star Fleet Command - Klingon Acadamey - Dominion Wars - Freespace and a few other Star Trek games.

The Tholians were made by Oleg and I do not recall what program he used.

Hmmm. I'm using the map editor that came with the Gold disk, and I updated to ver. 1.78. Could it be a problem with that, or the fact that I've got winblows XP (eXtra Problems)?

Would you know where I could get a copy of DOGA? Is it freeware etc?

userx,

A long time ago... long, long ago, I made a map for the AST Mod. It was based upon the Star Trek Galaxy according to Geoffrey Mandel's "Star Trek Star Charts".

If you ever decide to embark on a making a new map for this mod let me know, I would be more than happy to help you out.

I believe the old map is somewhere on the PBW map page under AST Star Trek Map.

Try using the SectType.txt file that was in STM 1.2.1.

DavidG · #**677** October 18th, 2003, 10:35 PM

For future Versions I'd suggest any new vehicle sizes get added to the end of the file. Adding them in the middle (such as the Shuttle II and III) causes some problems with games saved from earlier Versions. ie My colony ships are now Battleships.

(enless doing so would cause other problems?? )

When I try to edit the map I also get the RCE's. The map editor is a finicky, touchie, and often buggy program.

I don't think your going to be able to fix this UserX.

I would email the problem to Malfador and ask Aaron for help. This is his domain and perhaps he might be able to use it to make the map editor better.

I am using XP on this system and I can not duplicate the map problem you are having. Beleive me I have been using the map editor all night.

Do a search for the key word DOGA in the forum or at Google.

No that it helps but I just tried editing the StarTrek map in ver 1.2.7 and it worked OK. Have you maybe got a newer Version of the map that you saved with the wrong sectype file at one point? Also can you edit other maps with ver 1.2.7 loaded?
