[Feedback/Request] On Map Version 4 and the aspect of "Chance"

from Sins Forums

With one of the recent release builds of Rebellion, support for map version 3, which did not have the forced moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius inserts, was cut. I feel that this lack of support takes much away from making maps.

As version 4 does not allow for the various Random objects to have an moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius based off the entity of whatever spawns, taking away an additional form of chance or "randomness". For example, if one puts a WeightedRandom in a map, regardless of spawns, such as an Ice planet or a Dead Asteroid, they will have the same movement area. Plus, nor does it allow, for modders, the ability to put in suns of various sizes with different areas of movement.

Due to these, however futile it may be, I request that either map version 4 has some sort of option to let the moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius be left blank or allow for a wildcard symbol (aka. the game loads these values from the planet/star's entity file as in the past), or that map version 3 support be re-added.

such a tidal wave (coming from the west) would only cause a mild storm cell surge here in au,, but if it comes from the east north or south, there is still a large part of au that would not be effected by any storm surge(tidal wave), and I do not believe in any such guesses about the future

 and another bump

Dent beating require Dev hammer....

Reply #212 from Sins Forums Top

and we only have balls that have already hit the thin panels of the game and caused the dents, but are likely to throw them again from boredom.

*thinks about harpo's comment, then face-palms as the realization hits that there's practically nothing that can be said that can't be interpreted dirtily*

Too bad, too.  Dents tend to make most things look unattractive.

but there are also exceptions eg golf balls
