What are the first three engine effects in your post above? They look pretty cool.

let me check again...

first image is a rheinland engine but with nomad effects(edited the .ale).The liberty ship in the background has a liberty engine but the flame is blue (0, 0, 255).and the purple one is custom: edited bretonian flame,with nomad engine trail.

[Object
nickname = NS01_02_Base_death
pos = 40230, 0, 42530
shape = SPHERE
size = 2155
damage = 100000

[Object
nickname = NS01_02_Base
ids_name = 298001
pos = 40230, 0, 42530
archetype = planet_icemntcld_2000
ids_info = 70999
spin = 0.050000, 0, 0.020000
atmosphere_range = 2150
burn_color = 17, 1, 230
base = NS01_02_Base
reputation = ac_n_grp

still not working...

[Object --------------------------------------------- Change this to Zone! :-)
nickname = NS01_02_Base_death
pos = 40230, 0, 42530
shape = SPHERE
size = 2155
damage = 100000

[Object <<---------Should be [Zone
nickname = NS01_02_Base_death
pos = 40230, 0, 42530
shape = SPHERE
size = 2155 <<------ ???
damage = 100000

The ??? should be less than the atmosphere_range but more than the planet size in this case between 2010 - 2140, with yours you'll be dead before you here the warning.

how can i set the level for encounters,i mean,making outcasts fly sabres instead of daggers...

Post Sun Jul 29, 2007 9:23 pm

Here is an example:

[Zone
nickname = Zone_AR01_pop_ambient_03
pos = 60135, 0, -10454
rotate = 0, 0, 0
shape = SPHERE
size = 4600
comment = Ambient Pop
sort = 51
toughness = 10 <------------------- set this for difficulty* (lvl 10 npc's)
density = 10
repop_time = 25
max_battle_size = 8
pop_type = Background
relief_time = 35
population_additive = True
faction_weight = gd_bh_grp, 1
faction_weight = li_lsf_grp, 1
faction_weight = li_n_grp, 1
encounter = area_defend, 10, 0.500000
faction = gd_bh_grp, 0.250000
encounter = area_trade_trader, 10, 0.500000
faction = gd_bh_grp, 0.250000
faction = li_lsf_grp, 0.250000


say for nomads: I use either 10 or 19.

i was wondering... what are exclusion zones,what do they do and why are they needed?

also,how can starsphere.cmp files be edited?

Post Tue Sep 11, 2007 5:24 am

exclusion zone i think (im still a amature system creator at best) are to do with areas of say, a nebula field where you want there to be a hole (a clean air pocket or similar) like where you see planets inside a nebula field and the space around it is clear a good example of this is Kurie in sigma 17
