When i created a new system, i can see lines indicating planets, but no textures on said planets. Issue/bug prehaps? On windows 10

kjack1111 commented 8 years ago

Update: Textures show up while editing the main map (of endless-space) But not while creating a new map from scratch.

endless-sky commented 8 years ago

The way the editor figures out where the images are is by assuming that they're in a folder called "images" one level up from the folder containing the map. So, if you're creating a map for scratch, copy the "images" folder along with it.

No luck ATM, what should the filesystem look like?

endless-sky commented 8 years ago

(your plugin root folder or whatever)
- data/
- map.txt
- images/ (full copy of the images folder form the game data)

Hold on, i need plugins for this?

Plz expand README.

endless-sky commented 8 years ago

You don't need to use plugins, but if you're modding the game that is the recommended way of doing it to avoid messing up the game data itself:

No luck so far, i even copyed the editor to my install directory (inside a file of course). I think we can call this one a cold-case :s
