Galaxy Map issue
« on: March 25, 2012, 12:56:27 am »
You know the game is going well when half the galaxy runs away.



Also, how do you reset your "alternate galaxy map" back to the default?

You reset it the same way you change it, alt+Right click (?) and then select official layout or whatever.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

This is a spoke map.  The "default" official layout

 is almost unusable.

Somehow, the 5.031 beta patch messed up our edited "my view" maps and put some of the planets off the right side of the screen - as they are off the screen we can't move them because we can't see/select them (Adjusting graphics settings changed nothing).  But because this is the only editable view, we also don't have a way to make the galaxy map usable.    What I'm looking for is a way to reset the "my view" portion of the map, so I can spend the time detangling the spoke map so I don't need to spend 10 minutes trying to find a planet/route every time I need to move a ship.

Save file attached.

Sorry about the planets running away, I think that's generally related to resolution changes but I think they can also gradually "creep" away across multiple save/load's.

For 5.032:

* Added new button to Galaxy Layout context menu: "Reset My Layout To Official"
** Prompts you to confirm the action, and if you confirm it sets the positions of all planets in your alternate layout to the official positions.


Thanks :)

Thanks!

Tracking exos pathing through an official view on a spoke map is..  less than ideal.
