@celludriel awesome, thanks for the reply. Would be really cool if you could add backdrop and music in a dropdown, but not expected. A list will be awesome though.

You could technically use your own music and backdrops, just not with the tool in its current state

[killerog]

The link to the Trello board is in my first post. So keep an eye on that for any bugs you might see. If its not on there post it here and we can add it to the list.

If I get time tonight I will fix the sectors not changing on adding/updating stations as well as merging the changes celludriel has already done and get a new version out for you guys to play with.

[OneOfMany]

This has real potential.

Great job folks.

[Tomonor]

Huge potential. Very-very awesome work!

Is it possible you guys can figure out to implement superhighways? I want to create Rebirth-style universe with the most superhighway eyecandy. I'm speaking of connecting planetary bodies real-time while buzzing the magic tube's directions up-down-left-right.

[killerog]

New version released. This includes bug fixes by celludriel and a new version of the generator, along with changing/adding stations changes cluster colours.

[saa044]

I have not looked in the new version yet and to be honest I forgot for a moment if there are silicon asteroids, to many space games lol. But if there are, I could not find silicon rocks in the generator.

The regular ORE belt has a mix of silicon and ore so there is always available.

Ahh I see, thank you.

Problem seemed to be the ID's, changing them for number strings seems to have fixed it. Probably better to just use numbers anyway, much more straight forward and reduces complexity

This has been fixed in the latest release

[Cappy1401]

It is not possible to export a map as soon as a station has been set in the map.

When comparing the JSON files from two maps, huge differences are also visible.

Have both maps as an archive.

In the folder functional is the file of the map which can be exported with stations.
In the second folder is the file, which I have created, this can only be exported without any station.
If only one station is set in my map, the export is no longer possible.

Please take a look at it, because the great thing about it is really awesome.

Map-Archive


Sorry for Bad Englisch, its Googletrans

Greeting Cappy1401

[celludriel]

Thanks I found a bug in the json output, the new private fields should never have gone into the json.

I'll put in a fix and see if badger has time to release a new version

Seems someone beat me to it

https://github.com/killeroguk/X4GalaxyCreator/pull/26

I've asked badger to merge the fixes and bring out a release

[killerog]

Merged the fixes, so thanks to whoever did that. Ill release a new version tomorrow night or at the weekend with these fixes included.

[Cappy1401]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I also noticed something.

Some of the Factions have the same color for me, including: Ministry, Player, Ownerless and None.

The color is a kind of pink, which makes it impossible to determine which faction it is.

Here are four screenshots.

In the upper left corner are the four sectors where it will show.

On the right is visible, which factions are set.

I use Win 10-64Bit

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 2

Screenshot 3

Screenshot 4

[celludriel]

These factions cannot claim space for themselfes. So they are treated as empty sectors. The pink color is the unowned color. This is normal behavior

!!! EDIT !!!

I just noticed the following.

With version 1.0.2 please do not create maps, this is not functional, Map is destroyed
It comes in the attempt to display the map to the CTD.

I'm not sure what you mean, since 1.0.2 you have to select the map editor from the editors menu option explicitly. This has to do with having to initialize some parameters. It's more a hack not to have to do all to complicated stuff. I just tested it myself and as far as I know no map is being destroyed. It does seem description is required in my java generator and the editor allows to have an empty description that is something I either have to make mandatory in the editor or fix in the generator.

[Cappy1401]

Here is the map that I created with V1.0.2.
The map can be loaded via the menu after starting the program.
If I choose the Mapeditor in the menu, it comes to the CTD.

Edit

Saving with V1.0.0 does not help, there is still a CTD

I'll make a bug ticket so the application doesn't crash but gives a warning of some sort

[Cappy1401]

FULLEDIT

Have found a second goal without a goal and deleted.
You can find the gate if you are looking for {7,135000}
The map can now be displayed again in the map editor.
Export but not possible.

Cappy1401


EDIT OF EDIT

I just remembered.
The removal for gates has no effect, a set gate can not be removed.

Version 1.0.3 released with bug fixes from ianb1987.
