Ship sets and races |
Ok, so there are a bunch of topics asking about adding ship sets and races to the game... BUT mine is slighly differant. I just want to add the shipsets and not a race to them, this way they don't randomly pop up in the game. Likewise I also want to do the same with race images. I wanted to make a race of robots (sorta like the Yor from GalCiv 2) but then I noticed there aren't any good pictures of robot races... on that note also, does anyone know where to find some good robot looking race images to add... or can the race pictures/flags that have been made for SE IV work in V, sense it's just the race picture. Ok, thats all, if anyone knows, please pass along the info.

You could create a system type called "Sol". In this system type, list all the planets/moons/asteroids found in our system. In the quandrant types, limit the frequency of "Sol" to 1. When you generate a map, you would have to set the starting locations so Sol has one. The problem is that the game will still give the system a random name. Also, I'm not sure you can set starting locations for a specific race.
The other option is to generate a random map with ergie's Map Creator, and then edit in the Sol system by hand. Still have the issue with start locations though.

Take a gander through the AI Main file for a particular race. Everything you need for question 1 is in there.
