How to replace galaxy generation with a static planet based map?

[Jak9090]

I want to remove all the space back ground, and put a map in there.

I will then remodel stars, planets, fleets etc

it'll look abit silly till that's done...but how do I do this? also does anyone know how I can flatten the map, so that objects rest upon the map rather then having height.

Thanks,

You're going to want to have a look at common/setup_scenarios.

try something like this in your custom file:

static_galaxy_scenario = {
bla
bla
blabla

system = {
id = "some_id"
position = {
x = 0
y = 0
}
initializer = someid_system_initializer
}
}

It sounds like you also want to change the star background.

Go to your GFX folder in the vanilla game. Then simply search "stars" and you will find a file called stars.dds. This is the star background for the game. It is so big that you have to zoom in to see the stars.
