Multi Dimensional Universe

March 28, 2008 3:59:37 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I almost have a nice map created that has Multi Dimensional Solar Systems.

However, I cant get them to co join on the singular plane. One star pops above and they all separate.

I tried to change the galaxyHeight to 0.000000 but they still separate. Is this intended in the mechanics of the game or is there a work around?

---- PS. Created a nice realistic replica of our solar system, complete with moons, names, comets, and key distances. Problem.. Takes way to long to get anyplace. And the up loader never loads.

Ya if you set the scale of your map to a really high number it will do that. I set my scale to 1 mill so it would look more massiv but when i played it took a ship several hours to travel from one planet to anouther...Perfect if you like realism. Sorry for not anserign your question though

Yes, the game does seem to change the planet placement on the z axis somewhat, i first noticed this playing the normal set levels that came with the game, and having some of the planets close, so the phase lane was like going down a slide which looked odd. I just think it randomizes this a little to make it not as 2d and more of a 3d thing although really it should be less flat as it is. I don't really know a workaround but i'm sure someone will think of one eventually.
