Order of Planets

Post by Gowron »

The game always places volcanic planets next to the star and arctic planets/gas giants outwards.

This behaviour is governed by subroutine 4B4380.

Each planet type corresponts to a certain number:
arctic = 0,
barren = 1,
desert = 2,
gas giant = 3,
jungle = 4,
oceanic = 5,
terran = 6,
volcanic = 7.
There are separate checks for each of the three planet types. At least two of them can be modified easily.

Locations in trek.exe: "07" (volcanic) at position 0xB38B8, "03" (gas giant) at position 0xB38C1. You can change the numbers so that other planet types take on the role as innermost/outermost planets. Change a number to "08" to disable a check.
The "arctic" check can be disabled by changing "84" to "8C" at position 0xB3A9D.
A discovery consists in seeing something everybody has seen and at the same time thinking something nobody has thought yet.

Very nice, thanks so much for this info Gowron your the best! Off to plot sinister deeds with planets now :twisted:

EDIT: Oh it works even more perfect then I thought it would. At first, Sol's P class planets (Jupiter and Saturn/moons) ended up past Uranus and Neptune then i remembered to change the Arctic one, presto, beautiful Gowron, just beautiful. Thanks so much :D
