Hi, So I created a custom planet and added it to the sector file. I also added an orbit and just copied the playfield.yaml from the default Akua orbit to my scenerio. Now it works, I can fly to the orbit and the planet is there, but there are no asteroids. This is under POIs/Fixed: - Type: AsteroidFieldRing Name: Asteroid Field Pos: [0, 0, 0] Rot: [0, 0, 0] Why doesn't this work? Do I need to copy anything to my scenario to have asteroids show up?
From here it looks like theres no space after each 0, but it could be a Steam format thing. Anyway heres one of my space YAMLs from the scenario for you to compare, it works with the asteroid field, I have orbits with 3 asteroid fields set to different co-ords and they all show up so I can only assume a little error on YAML or something like that. --- # Playfield Configuration # IMPORTANT: YAML files use spaces as indentation.

Ok, I was able to get it to show up when starting a new game, but it would not show up when I just deleted the files like ents.dat, so I'm not sure what's happening. Should the "playfield" command relaod from the .yaml? Any seems to be working now. And anotherh thing- when you set the positions for the voxel asteroids- how do you know how/where to put them? Is there some tool that will let you drag them around so you can visually see them?
I just use the same map co ord system LIFTPIZZA made ages ago of Empyrion map co ords. Its like a visual map with co ords to give you an idea of how it works, but its not drop and drag at all. Heres a link to it on another page here on this site. http://empyriononline.com/threads/solar-map-coordinates.7343/
