Star Wars Galaxy

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello all, first post for me, but I've been a lurker...

Anyway, I have been working on creating the Star Wars Galaxy, or at least of the important planets that most of us are familiar with. However, I need some help. Using GC Builder, the planets only come up with 1 of 2 terrains. If it is habitable, it comes up as an Earth looking world on the map. If it is unhabitable, it always looks like a Gas Giant (brown similar to Jupiter).

I have edited the CustomPlanets.xml to include many of the features that are used to make the Sol Homeworld with the what I thought was different textures. I used IcePlanets1, DesertPlanets1, Testing123, etc. I even tried to make a custom skin for Coruscant, however it also didn't come up. Is the problem I am having with GCBuilder, or am I missing a step, or just doing something wrong?

Also, is there any interest in a Star Wars Galaxy, and for that matter a Star Wars full scenario or mod?

hmm - wish I could help - but the only thing I've done is a 'proper' list of star wars star names - (on www.thegalacticcore.com) - if thats of any help?

The only problem with the star wars star names is that there's actually not enough of them to cover a gigantic galaxy on abundant stars... (So I did another version with lots of character names in aswell - so now you really can go to the Lando system ).

zomg major bump!

Any updates on this? Or is this pretty much a dead idea?

If someone could link me to some guides on how to make galaxy maps for Dread Lords, I'd totally give it a go.

Well, I've got some Star Wars Hulls you guys are welcome to have. I didn't spend a huge amount of time on them, and there are issues like the arms of the Trade Federation BB are at different elevations when looking at it from the front. One slops slightly up, the other slightly down. Things like that. Also, some of the fighters are made of a few parts and thus aren't accurate if you look at a picture. Dye-wing and Chiss Claw Craft for example. The Claw Craft is just a Ball with four curve wings on it. Not quite a sloping or elegant as the actual design.

Here's a list of what I've done.
Some ships are re-done from other ship packs found on this site because I didn't like them that much The B-wing for example on another mod was not really close.

Anyways, here's the list:

A-Wing (Only slightly changed from the original model found on this site)
B-Wing (Adjusted horizontal wing size, modified the "neck", and used a different part for the cockpit)
Chir' daki
Chiss Claw Craft
Delta-7
Dye-Wing
E-Wing
K-Wing
MC-80
TIE Defender
TIE Interceptor
Trade Federation Battleship
X-TIE
X-Wing
Y-Wing
Z-95

I also want to try and get a Nebulon B. Struggling with that one a bit, but haven't spent that much time doing it.

Also, in one of the Omega Shipyard packs, there is an Imperial Prosecutor. It's a Republic Venerator Class. Some other mods also have acclamators, and a few others.

I would love to get my hands on those ships. Any chance you'd upload them?

Okay, I sent the ships in to the Site, hopefully they will be up in the next day or so .

Please keep in mind that some ships are based on models others pieced together, and I based my models on theirs, and tried to make it more true to the actual design. Still, they aren't that accurate .

Also, view the readme for what other mods you need. I've got Omega Shipyards Mod, and Kryo's for parts. And I'mnot sure which one I grabbed from. I wasn't planning on uploading these yet.

But please enjoy!
