![]() ![]() One scenario allows you to play the human race, while the other allows you to play as any one of a number of races. To start a scenario, simply select ‘Start New Game’, while in the default theme, and you will be given the option to load one of the scenarios (you can still proceed to a customised game, if you don’t want to play the scenarios). Then place one or both of maps (1) and (2) in this maps folder. To play a scenario in the default theme, you must first create a ‘\maps’ folder within your ‘\Distant Worlds Universe’ folder (if one doesn’t already exist). There are essentially two scenarios, but I have supplied them to run in the ‘default’ theme or in the ‘extended’ theme, so there are four maps altogether. This means that if you wish to play any race starting at their ancient home world, you have to use one of the scenarios … This is something I hope might be addressed by Matrix in a future patch. However, in a random customised game, you will never (or almost never) get the races to start at their home systems. The map contains all the ancient home worlds of the vanilla races and (with his kind permission) the races of Haree78’s Distant Worlds Extended Universe theme. Note that selection of the galaxy shape does seem to matter, as it will affect where the nebulas are placed on the map. See the end of this post for some suggestions on how to play as a pirate faction if you really want to. I very much fear that this undocumented feature seems to be working as intended, so there is very little I can do about it, unless Matrix do something to resolve the issue.įurther edit: you can't play as a pirate faction in this way. In other themes, the map may or may not crash, regardless of whether you ticked the 'regenerate' boxes. In fact, I’d recommend you check all the regeneration options, unless you’re intending to create a scenario in the theme you’re playing.Įdit: Following feedback from others, all I can really promise is that the maps will work in the 'Default' theme and also in the basic 'DW Extended Universe' theme. If you don’t do that, the game may crash or (depending on which map you picked) it will revert to the default theme or the ‘Extended’ theme. To ensure that the map will work with whichever theme you're using, you must check the option to ‘regenerate resources’. Then, load the map during game set up: select 'Browse for maps' at the top right in the first screen of the customised set up, and pick the map you just placed in your saved games folder. It doesn’t matter which one you use, as they are all substantially the same.įirst, place one of the four maps in your DW save game folder (which is probably ‘…\Documents\My Games\Distant Worlds Universe\SavedGames’). You can use any of the four supplied maps in your own customised games. (6) “Spoiler.txt”, which provides a list of the locations of all the ancient home world systems in the map, and also contains some spoilers about what is going on in the Human Evolution scenario.ġ.1 Playing the map in your own customised game: Should the position change, I will remove this file. According to the terms and conditions on the source website, I believe I am free to distribute this image with my map. I acknowledge this is the work of Robert Hurt (although I added my own text) – see. (5) “galaxy_backdrop.jpg”, which is an (optional) alternative backdrop for use with the galactic map. This zip file contains two additional files: I have also provided another zip file, which is attached to this post (see below for download link). (4) “Galactic Map - Free for all (Extended) v1.0.dwg”, which is the same as map (2), except it uses Haree78’s DW Extended Universe theme. Thanks to Haree78 for permission to use my map with his mod (hope he doesn’t rescind this permission after seeing the map!). (3) “Galactic Map - Human Evolution (Extended) v1.0.dwg”, which is the same as map (1), except it uses Haree78’s DW Extended Universe theme. You can play any one of a number of empires or pirate factions in this scenario. (2) “Galactic Map - Free for all (Default) v1.0.dwg”, which is another scenario in the default theme. You play the evolution of the human race from the pre-warp era though to Galactic Gods (or, maybe, 'Galactic Footnote' - let me know how that works out for you). (1) “Galactic Map - Human Evolution (Default) v1.0.dwg”, which is a scenario in the default theme. The download is a standard zip file containing four sub-files: ![]() The map is currently at version 1.0, and can be downloaded here: ![]() My galactic star map is now complete (see tm.asp?m=3633186 for an earlier discussion of the map). ![]()
