As usual, I can't leave well enough alone.

Once you change the "owned by' selection (L) in the editor for planet 1 (sol), you cannot change it back to "Federation".

Not true .. the thing .. as I pointed out to J.P. do not use the L option , instead use the Z option .. there you CAN set it to Federation or anything else perfectly.

Really?

Ok, that's confusing...

Not really , its just a not so well known thing ..

But in the writing of my newist SysOp script Roaming Trophy Planet
I had done some experimenting with these Z flags.

If you like to try it out and let me know how your players like it.

Note : It runs with TWXProxy , so make a clean DB for that game
and use Telnet as your Listening port (otherwise you need a clean DB there too).
Start this in Tedit after E and GAMELETTER
( @ the Trade Wars 2002 Editor prompt)

It's still just an oversight that I don't include "Federation" in that list of "owner" options. Anything else missing?

Vid, while I'm looking at this, what would you like to see added as an option for owner here that would replace the behavior of an Observer planet? I want to remove the ability to flag a planet as Observer so I can control the use of that flag for its intended purpose only. But I don't have a problem adding a special "owner" that would give you your special blue label. What would that be called...

If you remove it , please make it have same color the Observer has .. and maybe call it System or something like that.

I'm not sure what "System" means. Maybe "Special"?

Post subject:  Re: Planet 1 bug
Sure , Special will work .. just leave it dark blue like the observer is and all will be ok.

might be nice if it didnt get counted in overload count , but that would only work as long as it was not claimed.

just a thought.

I experienced similar when adding custom races. I had to go to the z menu and add the new alien race as owner as the new alein race name did not show in the normal planet edit option.

Other editor problems:

Port editor/creation (yes I know it will be a while)
Alien editor
Set specific ship classes for a race to use only 1 kind. Value shows incorrect info and the ship cannot be used.Select specific ship, Include ship number 2* Then it displays them as <A> Exclude SHIPNAME2* This area has a few problems with the way it shows available / not available ships.
