    In the end the values for the cube content can be edited.

    I really like what I see. That makes editing much easier.

    For the longest time I modding only using a text editor, changing values based on what I think would look right. Then started the game to check if my edits worked... just to further tweak stuff until I got it the way I want.

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.

    Quote from Huor

    Okay, okay, the small objects should be arranged a bit more randomly; that would look better. When everything is arranged exactly the same way, it looks strange.

    In the video I used the “auto arrange stuff” button. I guess I still have to optimize it a bit more, since right now it uses a mix of randomization and some hardcoded offsets based on existing Freelancer fields.


    In the end, everyone can still modify the arrangement manually and check it in the editor before launching the game. So of course a field created in just a few seconds will not be perfect. It’s more like the 80/20 rule: getting a field to 80% is quick, but making it 100% perfect takes most of the work for the remaining details.


    I also tested existing vanilla fields in the editor, and from some angles you can see repeating patterns there too. Ingame you usually don’t notice it because your view distance is limited, and Freelancer also has some kind of cube randomizer: some cubes are left empty and others are rotated, so the field looks more natural. I tried to mimic that in my tool as well, but it’s not 100% accurate yet, since not all of that information is stored in the INI files.
