Modding the game!

Hi everyone!
This game is damn good, great job Vice!

I would like to create my own universe with the customizing kit but there is some things i have to know exept what's in the readme file?

I've seen some existence of the Universedata.Dat file, where i can find it?

Is there a tutorial somewhere to understand how to make it work?

Thanks!

You'll need to satisfy yourself with Legends. The universe file for Mercenary contains lots of goodies and, therefore, is compiled and, consequently, can't be viewed.

On second thought, as long as you don't actually need to access the default universe, you could always create your own. Check out the Legends Customizing Kit to get a "general" idea of how Vice puts his universe together. The current game has major changes to planet and nebula definitions ... but maybe Vice (when he gets time) will explain the differences.

I had to go far, far back to find this thread:

Hopefully, it will help a bit. If not, try searching even further into the past.
