ok-

I finished creating the planets.bmp; all of the art works, and matches up to the planet files correctly.
However-
the secttype is not matching! All of the stellar objects get the size/description 1 off from the secttype, yet the #'s match. I am completely baffled now.

ideas?

A lot of the image types are offset by 1. Just change all the numbers in SectType.txt by 1 (IIRC, subtract 1, cause they start at 0).

I got it figured out yesterday. That is the most counter-intuitive part of this game I've come across. Why didn't they match the #'s in the secttype to the image #'s????

gees. All fixed now.

heh.
