Ok guys, I think we were missing a Planet Share Thread, a place where you can come to share your Eden, your Zion or your Purgatory. Here you can leave your photos and your playfield files to show the world your creation, or just come to clarify your doubts, I’ll try to answer what I can and I ask those who know better to help out…. I’m sure I’ll be using this place as an inspiration, so just share what you’ve already have. To share playfield.yaml files just ZIP them so you can add them here. PS: To add a new planet is always better to copy one of the folders in the Playfields folder rename it to what you want, for example Desert3 and edit the yaml file inside. In here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Playfields\ And then edit the sectors file and add the new planet in. In here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Sectors\ Here's a great tutorial in case you need help. http://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Customizing_Solar_Systems Also, as mentioned by @Talk2Rider you can also use the Emp Playfield Generator to edit your sector file, it´s a great tool. If you're looking for what kind of resorces to use in the playfield use this file by Vexray - Vexrays Planet Creation Mastersheet And for further content refer to the guru here Custom Playfields by Vexray If you want to add your own POI's here's how to do it: http://empyrion.gamepedia.com/Create_and_insert_customized_POIs I would like to call your attention to this thread here.... Empyrion Playfield Designer This is going to be a handy tool no doubt...
I call this one Arrakis. Contrary to the original one, this has no worms, sand or otherwise, no spice either, but has some gold, but just like the original one is a beautiful but a harsh place, be on your toes…. PS: Updated yaml file to the last patch....
Lumia - Scarab Homeworld Conquered by Lorien Federation Mios 1.0 - The Melting Planet (Pre-Cataclysm) Mios 2.0 - Cold Inferno (Post-Cataclysm) Vulca - Ancient Savannah Aeris - The Shattered Marsh Dalos - Wasteland of the Lorien Federation These are just a few of the planets we have on the server currently and if time permits, we will be hosting over 20 fully 100% custom planets. If anyone is interested in using some contact me.
These are amazing! I just don't have the time to test/retest and come up with awesome customs for my dedi. I second the file sharing! Might even donate if its good enough.
My apologies for not posting a reference link to my orriginal thread. I have a post located in The Hangar Bay that contains a little more info and the orriginal files, but out of convienience ill post the zip here. Keep in mind they are still WIP, the creature spawns are mostly unaltered aside from getting them to spawn, and as I finish the planets for my server I will come back through to do touchup work on the little things.
I call this Calypson. I'd have included the yaml but unfortunately can't seem to unlock the mysteries of posting a file other than a picture into my reply atm.
Nice planet mate, The problem is that this site doesn't allow to upload text files, maybe for security reasons but you can upload ZIP files. So just zip your yaml file and upload it here.
Indeed I did. While exploring the new planet I was attacked by turrets and drones unexpectedly when I exited my SV only to find that I was a bit too close to an alien complex. In the pic I'm"hightailing it" out of there ...
Since the anniversary update today/yesterday I'm unable to load my hosted server with my custom playfield yaml. But it will load in single player. Anyone else having a similar experience or is it just me ?
Yeah, alot of slight changes have been made. You will kind of have to revist all your yaml, and compare to the new template files and other yamls that 3.0 updated. Long hassle, I know, but otherwise you will be running with outdated bits n pieces (and thus get some awkward crashes).
Yes indeed... It's still weird you can run it on SP... But my advice would be the same, compare your file with the new ones...
Right. I've been doing that concentrating primarily on the sectors.yaml. And found lot's of added spaces and "quotation" marks. I've mimicked those in my playfield sector entries. But sounds like I may need to comb thru all of the playfield.yaml files as well. And ya it's wierd that i can run them in SP. Thanks I'll keep working it.
yep. all good now tho... Since I was able to run SP. I decided to try removing and re-uploading all the key files on the sever side before "reinventing the wheel". That fixed it . Must've been something funky going on in there somewhere. +1 for backups
I have to say mate that you have done an outstanding job on these planets, Serenity server admins also have very funky planets like yours, yours and there servers stand out for exceptional map creation, very nice work indeed, Im going to run some of these just on my local beta test server just to mix it up a little, so thank you for the share file much appreciated, and boy have you guys saved me some time doing all that myself, thank you very much ! PS , the other tester that is on my server all the time said to say ''awesome planets'' and thank you also. Oh and make more !
