convertdata type src dest that's the format to use. valid types are: mesh, particle, brushes and entity. ignore my first post as I'm still getting used to formatting codes the forums would have. :D

[code="c++"]convertdata [/code] that's how to use the program to make files into text format into binary. The valid types are: mesh, particle, brushes and entity. not sure if it'll change a file from binary to test format though.

Is there a database listing of what each weapon, ship, factory, research, etc. is available to the .galaxy files? would be nice to set my own custom fleet, maybe have some "captured" enemy ships I can use as well, or modify the starting research for a player. That so needs to be pinned to this topic or at least stuffed into a comprehensive file we can all download and use for our own custom galaxies. even galaxy forge still has limits (still haven't found template files yet), so this will all

I've looked through the .galaxy files to understand how each start system (or series) is built when using notepad. In each planet group there's a line for template then "" followed right after it. about every .galaxy file shares this line for each planet group. Does that mean templates haven't been implemented yet for the game? And if templates are there, where are they stored at? what format do they use?

From my understanding, there's no in-game scripting of events, so having dynamic missions may not be possible right now. If spawn points for ships are available that could be one workaround. I'd be curious to see how a cruise missle would be implemented though, since there are phase lane inhibitors, but a freelancer ship would have it's own cruise engines rather than needing to rely so much on phase lanes. hmm, imagine if pirates could disrupt transit through a phase lane, like you co

Here's something I picked up from a developers journal. I hope I quoted the formatting right: [quote] When/why was the switch made to a solid fleet cap? why was this done? Solid fleet cap? What does that mean? As in a hard limit to the # of units? I think he's talking about how there's a maximum fleet size Research for fixed amounts of supply, rather than scaled with galaxy size. <SD
