Mass system content generation

Drew

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a simple way through the AS v.2 interface to cause the generation of contents for a sector of "empty" stars. Not to generate a random sector with the "Generate SYstem COntents" selected, but start with a set of systems and then add contents to them all en mass.

In short, I want to load one of the (smaller) real star csv files and use the application's random system function to create contents for all of them. I gave this a shot with the API but started having coding errors with the sector object. Before I have to actually work (shudder!) I thought I'd ask to see if there was an easier way.

Thanks for this amazing application!

There's a couple of scripts on nox (http://www.nbos.com/nox) that generate contents.

For example:
http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=281

You'll probably have to adapt them to cycle through all the stars in your sector, but that shouldnt be too difficult.

Oh, here's another:
http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=107

Also take a look at:
http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=75

Which has some scripts that show you how to cycle through all the stars.

This is great, Ed_NBOS. After reading the guide and following the scripts, I used "Complete Surface Map Generator" script (Thanks David Loman) as the basis and it worked like a charm!

Could you post that, for those of us who a scripting impaired?

Will doo, deek. Probably Sunday or so when I get back to my own machine.
