Pixels Per Galaxy Unit?

from Sins Forums

Any of the galaxy forge / map editing guru's out there know what the purpose of the Pixels Per Galaxy Unit value is?  I am thinking it refers to a resolution, or maybe zoom distance?  I really have no idea lol.

 

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks :)

Are you sure that's what its called? There is a galaxy scale or something like that in the galaxy forge. It determines how spread out everything is from each other. Basically you can make all the planet distances (and thus phase jump times) longer or slower by adjusting it.

He's sure. For maps, there's two settings, metersPerGalaxyUnit and pixelsPerGalaxyUnit. The former is the actual scale of the map; increasing it increases the distance between planets. The latter is what Makon is asking about, which frankly, is something I'd like to know as well.

Yeah there is a line of code within each galaxy file, right under "metersPerGalaxyUnit" called "pixelsPerGalaxyUnit", there appears to be littler or no information about it!
