How easy is it to get rid of phase lanes and make gravity well rings disappear?

from Sins Forums

I would like to do this if possible. The aim would be to make the game much more interesting tactics wise.

I do not like having to jump and land right smack bang on somebodies doorstep.....

Obviously I would need to create more maps that made this interesting.

p.s. It would be even better to get the planets orbiting again

umm you can't remove them... but you could make every planet have a lane to each other I think (custom map).

You can also make the gravwells bigger. Im not entrily sure how that works atm (havn't looked at it) but it will probably be something to do with the planet entity files.

Porbably this line?

thanks may, whats the movearearadius line in? Is that a map file?
Gravwells bigger would be good enough, especially if you can have more than one planet in the well,

planet entity files like PlanetIce.entity
In GameInfo (modding refrnce files)

You can't have more than one planet (the 'planet' is the gravwell, a wormhole is a 'planet' in the game).

brilliant, so I can modify one map to have large gravity wells without affecting the other maps.

This is the value that gives you a larger circle to play in.......
