I understand what your saying Louva as what i´ve encountered so far is giant planets don´t show up in FLE at their actual size but do in game on the navmap, and you´re quite right, i use the death zones to work out the planet sizes in FLE. The giant suns show up at actual size in FLE but not in FL navmap. This last issue is what i´m trying to work out <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Edited by - Gibbon on 7/15/2005 8:45:50 PM

Right Louva, found something else you may already know about. I made an asteroid field, didn´t like it so deleted it in FLE. Or thought i had lol. Noticed FLE doesn´t delete the asteroid entry in asteroids.ini for the new field when performing the delete function, same in nebulas.

Also, when doing exclusion zones, is it just me or does FLE add the exclusion zone to the relevant asteroid.ini file? Doesn´t seem to but i might be missing something...

Well it´s the last one i was interested in. If you do it manually then you stick the exclusion zone into the relevant asteroids.ini file and no asteroids appear round the base. My question is, is this done automatically or do we do it manually? Because an automatic update of the asteroids.ini file would be great...

LMAO, maybe it´s just me being a big girls blouse but i tried that Louva and after i saved it, i checked the relevant asteroid.ini file and the exlusion had not been added to the asteroid field, so did it manually. I´m assuming the process goes like this 1. create exclusion zone 2. press LINK EXCLUSION button 3. save Even i can manage that lol, but didn´t seem to happen <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Here´s another bug i´ve heard secondhand from some friends of mine. They have the new version of FLE, they´ve created a new system, added planets, all ok. When they add a base and try and add ships to be sold, FLE just crashes out. Bear in mind i haven´t tried this personally, just wondering if u had Louva

Right, here´s something else i just found. I added a nebula and an asteroid to a new system, added an exclusion zone round a base ( as discussed <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>), but me being me, i thought i´d check it anyway. This is where i found that FLE had put the new nebula i´d added into the asteroid folder as opposed to the nebula folder. The new asteroid field ended up where it should but not the nebula.

Hi Louva, Was beavering away, saved my mod, then found that FLE sticks in a newchar.ini file everytime it saves. Is this correct? Only reason i ask is i amended the money and starting ship in a script and for some reason FLE reads this and makes up a new newchar.ini file everytime it saves any updates to my mod.

Here is the main script file, &lt;data file=&quot;datacharacters
ewcharacter.ini&quot; method=&quot;sectionreplace&quot; &lt;section&gt; [Package nickname = ge_fighter &lt;/section&gt; &lt;dest&gt; money = 2000 &lt;/dest&gt; &lt;source&gt; money = 50000000 &lt;/source&gt; &lt;/data&gt; &lt;data file=&quot;datacharacters
ewcharacter.ini&quot; method=&quot;sectionreplace&quot; &lt;section&gt; [Package nickname = ge_fighter &lt;/section&gt; &lt;dest&gt; ship = ge_fighter loadout = MP_ge_fighter &lt;/dest&gt; &lt;source&gt; ship = Flying Saucer loadout = Flying Saucer01 &lt;/source&gt; &lt;/data&gt; Now the reason the money is so high is we´re still testing, second part of the script replaces the standard ship with one of the ships we´re using. All of this sits in the main script file called script.xml. Also in here is the mod description etc. Now is it because i´ve included it this way that FLE creates a new newchar.ini file whenever i save it? Something new that´s for sure <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
