Map Editor?

Post by JamesJB » Tue, 21. Nov 23, 21:16

Would it be possible to add new sectors?

Want to create a Sector with all Resources,like Ice,Ore,Etc.

Was curious if there was a map editor that may help with this.

Thank you in advance for the help.

If you are looking for something akin to the Galaxy Editor of X2 and X3, then no. There's no such thing to my knowledge.

Currently, as far as I know modders use Notepad++ or other text editors to create sectors. Not exactly a good way to mod though. Some tutorials for this exist already. Although they only seem to cover how to make a whole new universe instead of just adding a sector to the existing one, or altering vanilla sectors.

I tried to follow some of those guides, but the whole thing is honestly just annoying and exhausting to deal with. The fun times of creating dozens of sectors like in X3 are over it seems. Unless Egosoft releases some dev kit for map editing.
