Is there a way to make a galaxy tree from the ground up?, Because I can't seem to make edits to a generated one stick. I just want to make a galaxy filled with my own content.
Hey Lucida!
This is awesome and has saved me a tonne of work trying to get a json file of galaxy info! I was wondering is there a way of finding out how wide the galaxy is when you generate it? I'm looking for the max and min x and y coords - is this something that you can set manually?
Great work!!
Jon
Hi Jon,
The galaxy itself does not have a defined width or height in the generator. It mainly exists to be a collection of all the clusters, which have no specific location attached to them.
By default, clusters generate with a width and height of 100x100 units. If you are extracting this data and using it elsewhere, you could assign each cluster its own location as a multiple of 100x100, and treat the data inside of each cluster as an offset from the cluster's location.
Currently when randomizing using the galaxy menu the default 100x100 is used. If you would like a different size, you can generate clusters with a custom size directly in the cluster menu.
It's nice to see this generator getting put to use, and I wish you luck with whatever project you are working on.
Thanks Lucida!
That makes a lot of sense so I'll be sure to think about that when mapping everything, and actually not having the clusters tied gives a little more freedom.
Hey I really love this software man! Its really interesting to play around with to see what you can make!
Thank you! That's great to hear that this little generator was useful.
