I just want to say that I’ am starting work on a map based on the pre clone (22 BBY thru 24 BBY) wars era, it is going to be called Separatist Crisis. It will feature about 30 planets and 4 to 6 solar systems.

I posted this in SW Mod but a repeat:
For those unaware Uzii made a few great planet mods (Oceanic, Urban etc) I think these would fit great for star wars maps/mods as it would allow more realistic depictions (Endor, mon cal, coruscant).

I'm not sure how it'd work just yet to dictate in forge a planet is oceanic and the like but i'm sure its easy enough after some tinkering. If I figure it out before hand Ill be sure to pass it on.

I was hoping that I could get some help becuase some of the planets I dont want to leave desert or terran. If I only knew how to put Uzii's planets into my maps?

In theory, you should be able to open the map in any text editor and just change the planet type in there. The map should be able to run fine with the right mod on.

Indeed. I believe what'll be required is whoever uses your maps will need Uziis mods and then you make your maps as you would in forge (default terran or whatever). You'll manually need ot go into it via texteditor and change planet types to ocean/forest etc for the relevant planets. If you make the maps I wouldnt mind helping go through and altering the mapfile via txt.
