Galactic Conquest Questions.
 

How can i create new Galactic maps (the maps with the planets on it) and how do i add new planets and link them to a ground map.

(if i'm being unclear just say so)

I think that is covered in the moding tutorial stickied to the top of this forum.

yes it is but is it also possible with the map editor?

Re: Galactic Conquest Questions.
 

Planets can be made by copying an existing one in planets.xml and changing what you need. (You link the ground map to a planet, not the planet to the map.)
Because I've never created any campaigns, I'm not sure about it. You have to edit campaigns_singleplayer.xml and one of the sandbox files, but I have no experience in it (and because I'm busy at the moment I don't have time to figure out in for you). Try asking somebody who' done this.
Making the map: Yes, it's possible.
Making the planet and the campaign: No, you must code it.

If you're giving a planet a custom map that you made look for these 2 lines--

<Land_Tactical_Map> _Land_Planet_AbregadoRae_02.ted </Land_Tactical_Map>
<Space_Tactical_Map>_Space_Planet_AbregadoRae_01.t ed</Space_Tactical_Map>

Of course you'll have to insert your own map names. Hopes this helps you. :)

Well, if you were adding a new planet you would almost certainly need a new map. You create the map with the editor, then insert the name of the map into the code string that deals with the ground map.

Edit: What he ^ said

Re: Galactic Conquest Questions.
 

When you put in a new planet it should show up on the in-game map automaticly........... At least, that worked for me.:D

Re: Galactic Conquest Questions.
 

Are you sure? I think it must be added to the campaign's xml file before it shows up in the game.

Re: Galactic Conquest Questions.
 

Yeah in order to get the planet in the campaign. I thought he was talking about the map of planets that you see while playing GC. :confused:
