Star Map Editor
Hi! Update to the prototype Star Map Editor I posted on to Discord a while back. I used the sample Star Map XML file in the beta to create the tool. Just something I've been creating in my spare time, apparently I have nothing better to do
. It isn't commissioned by StarDock. Feel free to install it, play around, and send me some feedback too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3j3elkcvz8mlsy/StarMapEditorInstaller%20v0.1.msi?dl=0
Readme file in the install location with basic usage guide and licensing/attribution details.
Note: The installer does include the StarControlGalaxy.xml file from the beta so just remember it shouldn't be distributed outside of Founders. It will also open some of the other star map files in the beta too.
Let's call this v0.1.
New features:
- Bulk star editor (table)
- Solar System editor (table)
- Random star map generator with basic constellation generation
- Uses several text files for constellation, star naming, and star/planetoid templates Configurable weightings for star types that are generated
Known issues:
- Some of the generation parameters aren't flowing through from the dialogs to the generator
- Minor UI usability issues
Features under development:
- Solar system visualiser
- Constellation editor, allowing moving and layout of star groups
- Name labels on the map
- Faster controls to create stars
