New Planet sizes/types/atmospheres?

Has anyone been able to add new planet types, planet sizes or atmospheres to SE4?
If so please tell me how you did it!

I think atmospheres/types are hard coded. I haven't added new planet sizes myself, but I'm pretty sure it's possible.

-Go into planetsize.txt and add a new planet entry.

-Add new planet images to the planets folder. You need one for each new planet that you will add in the next step.

-Open sectortype.txt. Here you match up you images you added in the Last step with your new planet size, an atmosphere, and a type.

Thanx, I thought planet sizes were hardcoded like atmospheres and types.

A question, do you know how they work with create/deystroy planet componets... I know they use a number to identify the size, yet there is no number in planetsize.txt. So is that hardcoded, does it read from the top down, or something else?
