To all that use FQM!

[Fyron]

SE4 always uses the first system entry in SystemTypes.txt to fill in rounding errors and such when making maps. I added dummy systems to my FQM files to make it easier to find the various groupings of system types, but it wants to use my dummy "Stock Standard Systems" as an actual system in-game, as it is the first system. I reported this to MM months ago, but apparently forgot to update FQM, and nobody ever mentioned it.

Solution:

This will NOT affect PBW compatibility in the slightest, as SystemTypes.txt is ONLY read when the map is created, and never again. Delete this entry from your SystemTypes.txt file, in both FQM Standard AND FQM Deluxe:

Name := Stock Standard Systems
Description := ***PLACEHOLDER. Not to be used in-game.***
System Physical Type := Normal
Background Bitmap := Starmap.bmp
Empires Can Start In := FALSE
Mask Background Objs := TRUE
Non-Tiled Center Pic := FALSE
Number of Abilities := 0
WP Stellar Abil Type := Unstable Warp Point
Number of System Objs := 0

Bump. Because this seems important and Fyron doesn't need to pad his post count as much as I do.

Ya I sent him a message about his yestarday. I got one of those systems. (Updated the file for STM v1.5.1 Fix though.)

FQM is a very good mod and one that I use nearly every time I play.

Agreed. It should be made standard while demoting the current standard to mod status

Heh ya Fyron.

Do you have planet/atmosphere distribution for 2.08? Just wondering if any are favoured thats all.

P.S Love the Mod.

[Fyron]

No I do not. The distribution is not too far off of that in stock. Andres Lescano did a distribution a while back and posted it on the forums, though I do not recall where exactly. Maybe it was in the FQM thread?

[Timstone]

Fyron: The B5 Mod 2.0 also wants to use the FQM, but the current Version of The Mod has a special B5 quadrant variant. Would you be interseted to include these into the FQM?

I'll send you the files you need to see for this quadrant.

It looks horrid.

I am not seeing what you are seeing, but what you describe sounds like someone that posted in this thread changed their forum name to something really long. Maybe they changed it back before I looked in here.

Same here, Timstone signature threw everything out of balance, as his code isn't taken into account, so it says: [url=A very long URL]. I am using Firefox (formerly Firebird), if it helps you to see why it doesn't work.
