I am Trying to do a Space Start Scenario It is set in an Asteroid Field With a Ring of Asteroids around some custom POIs (blowed up planet pretend) I have Created the Ring Asteroid field However Cannot Work out How to change its size (seems to default to pretend Planet Size 2) Uses Space_dynamic.yaml File 1. Does Anyone Know how to do this (alter size) - or is it fixed by law 2. Does anyone know how to add a description to the Playfield to explain what it is (as with static playfields) i have tried everything i can think of / borrow from other playfields - but just crashes empyrion the file below works - but i ain't got the features (1),(2) above. Empyion uses the <Fieldname> option ------------------------------------------------------ The start of my file goes like this : ------------------------------------------------------ # Playfield Characteristics Gravity: 0 AtmosphereEnabled: False PvPProb: 0 UseFixed: True Radiation: [2,4] TemperatureDay: [-130,-100] Music: [DistantWorlds, Migration, space] PlayfieldType: Space PlanetType: Space Skybox: - [SunFlareWhite4Space, SkyboxStarsCyan, PrefabNebulaBlueYellow] - [SunFlareWhite3Space, SkyboxStarsBlue, PrefabNebulaBlueGlittery] - [SunFlareWhiteSpace, SkyboxStarsBlack, PrefabNebulaBlue] ### Resource Asteroid not relavant to question ## POIs: - Name: [AsteroidFieldBoxExclude, AsteroidFieldFewBoxExclude, AsteroidFieldRing,AsteroidRingPlanet] FieldName: [AsteroidFieldRing] # used if playfield is not an orbit CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ] Probability: 1 BaseField: True Properties: - Key: Color Value: "0.3, 0.5, 0.7" -------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's no way to change it. As for a description just add this to your space_dynamic.yaml file, here is an example from my own scenario. You can edit the description as needed. The formatting codes you can use too. Code: Description: "Difficulty: [c][00ff00]Easy[-][/c] Habitable systems are often highly populated with an abundance of faction presence, based on territory. [b]Orbital Stats:[/b] Habitable System [c][D2AF00][b]Increased:[/b][-][/c][c][DBDBDB] trading, common ores, civilian, bandits and pirates.[-][/c] [c][D2AF00][b]Decreased:[/b][-][/c][c][DBDBDB] Military.[-][/c] [c][ffffff][i]Mining asteroids claimed by a faction is considered an act of war. Presence of POIs affected by galaxy faction territory.[/i][-][/c]"
Thanks for the information about the Asteroid field, knowing gives me a path forward As for the Description - Every attempt i have made to stick it into my space_dynamic.yaml file - Just results in Crash on Scenario select i have tried in several places in the file -- but no deal - works ok on planet playfields - just not in the Asteroid belt i have.
Are you making sure to use quotations exactly like the example I posted above? Description: "this is an asteroid field."
You could upload or message me your space_dynamic file with the description added and tonight I'll take a look. If I don't get back to you just tag me here in case I forgot.
Ahh i think i have found the problem i suspect a bug in the YAML parser No-Work --> Description: "Difficulty: this is an asteroid field." Work --> Description: "Difficulty this is an asteroid field." The parser seems to dislike <Difficulty:> specifically the colon after difficulty maybe because its a key word used elsewhere though it should ignore everything in the " " but thanks and i really appeciate the offer, though don't need it now
Not that i know of... i am using v1.5 though if thats any different -- And didn't get these problems when using Playfied_static.yaml planet files only the space_dynamic.yaml (s) wierdly its taking me ages to get the Descriptions to work though At moment any : in the text causes the thing to crash out Also starting description section with "[c][234567]] ... crashes but "-[c][234567] .. doesn't
