File format and wiki: milky_way.xml

Post by Nevita »

I was just looking at the newest CVS version of the milky_way.xml file, and comparing it to the wiki. The wiki is obviously out of date, and I was wondering when it might be updated.

I am working on building the Vega Trek universe, and I could use the wiki help in getting it to work properly.

Thanks.

Why do you want to edit milky_way.xml?
for my b5 mod I only work with data4.x/sectors/*/*.system
If I remind, milkyway is auto generated, if you want a custom system you should only create .system files

Vega Trek will be using milky_way.xml for several reasons. The white starpoints you see when flying are based on the xyz locations of stars in the milky_way.xml file. There will be unexplored systems in the file which people will be able to travel to, and the Interstellar Space idea we're working will also require star information to be put into the file.
