Guide to the Galaxy
A primer on making your own planet in SWG
By: Valkyra

I. Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my guide, future planet designers. This guide is to help one distinguish what you need in order to start creating your own planets in game.

What you will need:
- A SWGEmu server
- SWGEmu itself installed
- TRE explorer
- Photoshop w/ DDS Plugin
- Sytner's World Editor [See Section II for more information]


II. Sytner's World Editor

What is it? Well, essentially a SWGEmu developer under the name Sytner has spent a few years documenting, reversing, and general overviewing the TRN filetype used by SWG, he has created his own tool (in C#) that serves as a GUI to editing the terrain. You may find more information on his YOU MUST REGISTER AND ACTIVATE TO VIEW URL'S.

At the time of this guide, his tool is not available to the public. He isn't sure if it will be SWGEmu developer-only or not, but it's his choice to decide upon. So for now, you will only be able to edit non-terrain related content (sky gradient, POIs, etc). I'll revise this section as more information becomes available.

III. Getting Started

The rest of this guide coming soon!

Sorry for the lack of attention, I'll get this started again soon.

Welcome, and when will the continuation of Guide and the ability to create planets?

I plan to set Event to test new military transport and facilities for what he wanted to use a separate zone. Would help assist in creating a new territory for the client?
