[Mod] Planetary Rally Points

[Zednosius]

Hello guys!

I've made a mod i call "Planetary Rally Points". It gives you the ability to mark owned planets as rally points and then set planets to send their constructed military ships to that rally point.

It does this by using a couple of custom planetary edicts to set this up, unfortunately every rally point needs its own edict so i've limited it to three for now. I also haven't found a way to merge the fleets up, if anyone knows how to do that via script it would be awesome.

Any feedback is appreciated

Sounds cool! I'll try this

Sounds like a great (and clever!) workaround until we get official waypoints implemented

Much appreciated, Zednosius!

Thanks!

Does anyone know how i get a thumbnail image on to the mod? I can't seem to get it right.

Edit: I figured it out.
Add an image in .jpg to the root of the mod (in my case mod/planetary_rally_points/thumbnail.jpg).
Then add
picture="thumbnail.jpg"
in the .mod file

Just updated it with a few new things.

1.0.1
Greatly improved the tooltips of all edicts, they are all much more informative and looks better too.
Added edict "Rally to Me!" which causes all nearby planets to set the enacting planet as their rally point.
Currently it has a distance of 60 units (first warpdrive is 45 units) and should save you some clicking.
