Example of creating a custom map from a script.

The maps are all fixed planets:

< : Echo Cluster By Tim Wisseman>
 1337 , 2352 , 20 , Ceti Alpha one
 2117 , 1269 , 18 , Orionis I
 1847 , 1882 , 10 , Wolf 359
 2842 , 1642 , 6  , Alioth
 1580 , 2627 , 9  , Fussbar
 1277 , 2832 , 11 , Cumo
 1025 , 1744 , 20 , Mirak
 2071 , 2515 , 7  , Izar

The format is X, Y, Star Type, Name

There will be a way to place a random X,Y Planet in a game (added to the
map, if one is used) using the version 4 master script language.

The following is a random planet made using a v4 master script:

Begin Planet
  name   =  RANDOM
  ID    =  RANDOM
  state   =  0 'Normal One planet*
         '1 Asteroid field
         '2 Nothing
  climate  =  DICE(1,100) ' Range (0 to 100)

  star   =  DICE(1,21) '
               ' 1 Brown Dwarf
               ' 2 Neutron Star
               ' 3 White Dwarf
               ' 4 Blue Dwarf
               ' 5 Binary Red
               ' 6 Orange
               ' 7 Orange Yellow
               ' 8 Yellow
               ' 9 Neutron Yellow Binary
               ' 10 Red White
               ' 11 Red Yellow Binary

               ' 14 White / Yellow Binary
               ' 15 White / White Binary
               ' 16 Yellow White

End


The name that the planet will have in the above will randomly come from a
list that you provide, when the list is all used up master will make a name
up for you.

'Names to be used as random planet names
Begin PlanetNames
  name = "CLEAR" 'Clears the name list
  name = "Lucid 3"
  name = "Trunkmore"
  name = "Verdonia"
  name = "Gimbid 9"
  name = "Vargus Wells"
  name = "Crescent Station"
  name = "Gatetonania"
  name = "Flexdonia"
  name = "Memi 7"
  name = "Totanimerria"
  name = "Morriab"
  name = "Lithia Haven"
  name = "Ebian"
  name = "Gornab"
  name = "Sedonnia"
