map editor help

But how, exactly do I change a warp point or a specific planet type?

[capnq]

To change a planet type, select the planet, Edit, and select the new type from the drop-down menu.

Changing a warp point kind of depends on what you want to change, but it's the same general idea.

Everything in the Edit box is either a number, a text label, or a drop-down menu item.

So with this edit function, can you edit a Sun do be a Sphere or Ring world?

Sure, or you could just make one from scratch. Just make sure to change the image or it wont work.

This is for Maps btw, not save games!

Another useful tip (if you want to make nice looking maps) is to 'mask background objects' or whatever the option is. Otherwise the map will look cut and pasted.

Actually you can't edit a star to be a sphereworld. In the map editor stars are stars and sphereworlds are planets. What you do is delete the star and add a planet, select spherworld as the size, choose your atmosphere, and pick the sphereworld image.

I stand corrected on the Matrix Mod Launcher. I must have downloaded the map editor during the same session. At any rate, it can be accessed from the mod launcher.
