i sent off my first email to there, for my suggestion for increasing the maximum amount variables can hold *65535 facility sphereworlds, anyone?

) and easing value changing for resource conVersion/trading and cargo moving by clicking on a value like the '2' in 255 and having it go up/down to 355 or 155.

Nice mod Fyron.

I also think there is too many Astroids.
Trying to do something with them will slow Multi-Player games down way to much

This is why I created the "No AST" type quadrants. If you want a "Cluster No AST" for example, copy the apporpriate Mid-Life No AST quadrant, and change the system placement info to reflect that of the cluster. Doing so will not invalidate savegames at all, as QuadrantTypes.txt is only referenced when the map is created, never in-game.

Fyron:
Have you ever given thought to making a system mod that would allow for �closed� warp points? In other words a warp point that has no graphics to indicate its position, and would that even work?

Wait, back up, would it be possible to have a normal warp point but cloak it? Would the picture still show up on the system map? Wasn't there something in SE4 pre-G about that same thing and planets?

Shang, I belive the path-finding fuciton would still use these WPs... maybe even cloaked.

Although that's a great idea.

Fyron · #6 January 27th, 2004, 09:32 PM

Warp points can never be masked or cloaked. This is a hardcoded enforcement.

If you give them an all-black graphic, you can still locate them by clicking around on the map to find them, and the galaxy map still shows the WP lines. And the path-finding will still work, as Loser mentioned.

IF, I think FMQ is one of the greatest additions to SEIV (along with AIC/Proportions). Keep up the good works....
