Assistance with a custom faction

Current Problem: New custom faction has ben added. It will not show an influence bubble (territory) in the Galaxy Map. It shows up in legend with the color I gave it and appears to show everywhere else it is supposed to.

In Galaxy Config:

Code:

 
{ Child Territory_12 #Universe Command
    Faction: UniCom
    Center: "75, 50, 71"
    Radius: 60
 }

I attempted to add this, wondering if it needed a star area to attached to

Code:

{ Child StarRegion_19
    Name: "UniCom Homeworld"
    Shape: Elliptical
    Position: "75, 50, 71"
    TotalSpawnCount: 1
    UseDefaultStarDef: true
  }

This is what I have in my Faction file:

Code:

{ Faction Id: 31, Name: "UniCom"               # Resurgence - Miliary
  Abbrev: UNI
  Color: "0.9, 0.8, 0.0"
  Reputation: true
  OmitMapLegend: false
  ClaimTerritory: true
  Discovery: false
}

I'm at a real loss here

 

In Galaxy Config Should have stars for a start, i see that you are using default but it is sometimes to use your own version.

Code:

{ Child StarRegion_19
   Name: "UniCom Homeworld"
   Shape: Elliptical
   Position: "75, 50, 71"
   TotalSpawnCount: 1
   UseDefaultStarDef: true
    StarClass_1: PegasusIGO, param1: ""
    StarClass_2: PegasusIGB, param1: ""
    StarClass_3: PegasusIGA, param1: ""
    StarClass_4: PegasusIGF, param1: ""
    StarClass_5: PegasusIGG, param1: ""
    StarClass_6: PegasusIGK, param1: ""
    StarClass_7: PegasusIGM, param1: ""
    StarClass_8: PegasusIGN, param1: ""
    StarClass_9: PegasusIGBH, param1: ""
  }

Also you should set your star for the homeworld too

Code:

Also you should set your star for the homeworld too

# Type M

  StarClass: WraithHomeSystem

  SurfaceTemperature: "2500, 4000"
  Mass: 0.3
  Radius: 0.4

  OuterSystem: "55, 95"
  Description: "The home system and cradle of the Wraith civilization. Long lost race of humanoid people who have mystiously disappeared."
  GalaxySpawnAmount: 0
}

You then should make a file called SolarSystemConfigWraithHome and put it in the RandomPresets as well as make a bunch of files called;

SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGBH
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGF
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGG
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGK
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGM
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGN
SolarSystemConfigPegasusIGO

I would suggest looking at Reforged Eden to see how they work

 

I will see if those settings are somehow blocking it. I have done the RandomPresets without any changes. The new faction works everywhere else (and everything else on it works). Only the control sphere isn't showing.

I am wondering if the system is only allowing the games preset ones to show on the Galaxy Map (control sphere). That used to be the case but I thought that changed.

 

Bah, I skipped a number ;(

 

Another thing to consider for your custom faction that should also be defined is DefReputation and FactionWarfare ECFs. Pretty self explainitory by the name, that they define what the rep gains look like as well as how they would deal with defending their POIs/territory. It's a simply copy/paste to add new entries from vanilla. I would take heed to be careful in defining any reinforcement prefabs tho. These prefabs must work well as a NPC ship, as they are treated as such in the game.
