I would like a mod that restores Insane maps back to pre 1.83 sizes. If there are a few ini edits I can just do it directly do the gameplay files if someone can tell me what to do and where.
Use MapSizeDefs.xml for your mod
Go near the end of the file and find the insane map size. Here are the original values pre-1.9 (changed lines are bolded)
<MapSize>
<InternalName>Insane</InternalName>
<HexSectorRadius>0</HexSectorRadius>
<HexSectorSize>380</HexSectorSize>
<Base>1200</Base>
<MaxHabitablePlanets>600</MaxHabitablePlanets>
<RiftAppearanceChance>0.00</RiftAppearanceChance>
<MinPrecursorPlanets>16</MinPrecursorPlanets>
<PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable>0.01</PrecursorPlanetPercentOfHabitable>
<StarboxDef>DefaultStarbox</StarboxDef>
<MinCameraZoom>100.0</MinCameraZoom>
<MaxCameraZoom>18200.0</MaxCameraZoom>
Let me know how this works for you
Whoops! Kyro posted while I was typing mine. Old Spider's mod is more comprehensive than my suggestion.
This mod restores both the galaxy size definitions from v1.83, as well as the default object frequencies (planets, stars, etc.). If you want to use the new object frequencies with the old (larger) map sizes, just remove the file 'MapSetupDefs.xml' from the mod folder.
Wow, thanks for the replies!
I will mod it up and fire up a new game tonight!
