ini file determine size, placement of the nebula zone and encounters within. There must be two sections for each nebula/field in system. Or both, if you are making a nebula+asteroid field (which is good). ini files that will be located in \Solar\Asteroids or \Solar\Nebula. Nebula/field entries are found in primary system. inis should be present) + mBases.ini entry + market_ships.ini, _commodities.ini, _misc.ini + optional nebula and asteroid fields. ini within your system folder + rooms, at least 2 room. Read further for additional explanation on infocards.īase = universe.ini entry + (separate. To make a real good base, however, you'll need custom NPC names, rumors and descriptions. Wanna window with LA cityscape in commodity trading room of a remote asteroid base ? Well, if you explain how these guys live in a matrix. There's nothing too bad about it, however don't forget that copying planet rooms into a base is a bad habit, and vice versa.
Lazy to add all NPCs with custom names? Copy existing base NPCs and rooms in FLExplorer. That's where you should use FLExplorer as much as you can. I suggest using angles from existing rings and test, sooner or later you'll find the version that you like.

Ring angle is a major problem, I was unable to figure out how to make it exactly the way I want. On the other hand, rings like Fuchu.ini and Ross.ini contain asteroids within. Otherwise flying through your ring will be an annoying experience - for example, a lava.ini ring looks like a transparent plastic disc that you can fly through. ini you are going to use has 2nd entry for what the ring contains. Rings? rings are good, but when adding them you'd better check if the ring. The spin should be low, like original planets.

I'll make a standalone Spinning Planets mod for Discovery. But it doesn't look very good in most environments.ĭo not add spin. A red giant near a blue dwarf may be astronomically explainable.
The good way to do this is to place a ringed planet inside a star (I'm not absolutely sure if it works, but it should). So I usually move centers of two objects some 50 units away from each other (for example, one is 40000, -4000, -70000 another is 40050, -4000, -70050).ĭon't make large Border and Edge World systems! Better make smaller more dense one, with more objects etc., that's why players love existing Border Worlds.Īdd rings to sun if you wish. I've read that placing two ellipsoids in one place causes crashes. Note about asteroid field+nebula objects (like Badlands, or many ice clouds). What if you create a sun in FLExplorer and move it 8 km above Z=0? Well, fine, but don't forget to move death zone along with it. Solution? Move those objects to remote places of the system. Generally objects that are down from player and up from player are not seen. Nice? Yes, but if you never dogfight above Manhattan or nearby you'll never even see it. Imagine a planet 50k above Manhattan for example. Players are used to the fact that objects are all in one plane. Placing large solars, like suns and planets, far below other solars will make navigation confusing. If you do, make sure to give clues how to get to them. First of all, do not make bases and settled planets too far away from Z=0. How you make 3d object placement look nice and logical? Easy.
So you'll have to add depth to objects manually. I don't insist on making a totally 3d systems, this will be too unlike original systems, but adding a bit of 3d touch will be nice as original systems are generally 2d. inis + Infocards.Įxplorer does not allow you to move objects by Z axis, down and up. inis for system itself, bases and rooms + Jump holes from other systems, entries in other system.

Even though FLExplorer often seems very convenient and easy to use, you'll still edit many things manually.
