@ Kryo
is it possible to upload the tool(1,44MB)as it gets more stable at some point to the library, since its not directly a mod?

New version 1.0.6.3 is now up on i-mod-productions

I can't move replies, but I can sticky this thread in place of the other one since it isn't being actively developed presently. Just edit the top post whenever you've got a new version, or if you have any description/instructions to give.

THANKS MRKORX for the map editor. Now i can have fun with this game.

ps keep up the good work   

@Sir Nasty
Did it work for you by now?

This is what i get

Yes Patience is good they`ll figure it out and then we can make some kool stuff

Please include a random map button with larger than gigantic map size. It would be saved as a map and selected in-game. Gigantic maps are 18 sectors, which is not enough for realistic space travel.

Mr. Korx,

-please include a random map button with larger than gigantic map size.
It would be saved as a map and selected in-game. Gigantic maps are 18x18 sectors, which is not enough for realistic space travel.

-Perhaps a 72x72 sectors of maximum? This would be in a correct relationship with the range of ships (current starting range with flagship 4 sectors) and with the amount of stars and habitable planets in a 18x18 galaxy with rare and sparse settings. Of course the number of celestial bodies increases and distributes to the new sectors as densely as with the 18 sectors galaxy.

(All the hab planets have been settled. This setting has completely enough habitable stars even with rare habs, occational planets and abundant stars. All the other setting have them too many! In fact, this amount of habs should be in common habs setting! There should be more space, more stars and less habs.)

-In a map of 72x72 sectors the new range techs (life supports) should begin with just 4 sectors or even less!

(4 sectors of starting range has enough stars but way too big portion of the entire game field! AI also colonizes half the galaxy in a too short time with normal difficulty. Ships should be confined to small portion of the galaxy without techs).

Btw, I think that Galciv 3 should have Celestia style galaxies.

Kryo, another question appears, how is the naming convention for the localized game version, ie for german:

Path=..\Data\German\german.str ?

same pattern for french?, and how many localized versions do exist?
It'd be nice to know, since the IDE currently uses filepaths depending on the english version.

I'll have to look into that (Cari seems to be off to lunch right now).

It'd be German\english.str (the string file is always named english).
