Hello, I tried to use your tool but the buttons flash up and then quickly disappear making it impossible to use. What could be causing the issue?

I don't know. You'd probably need to be more specific. Which buttons flash up?

I'm about to make a new release fixing some overlooked bugs, and adding two new features. If there's more requests, now would be a good time to forward them.

This is what I get when I boot it up.

What version? i have installed the latest version and the 2013 visual c++ components.
 
Hello! I haven't tried the editor, but I'm wondering if it could display precursor systems, or even if it could allow to set them manually?
And what about leviathans/guardians systems?
 
I feel like this may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if there is a way to generate a galaxy in a shape similar to an ellipse? The stars seem to always be generated in a square. Is there is an alternative to manually moving individual star systems?
 
Do you refer to the square grid of coordinates? I think that they are mapped on the galaxy's shape, whatever the shape. For instance, base shape is a spiral galaxy, and yet, stars are represented in a square grid. See how the center of the grid is populated, and not the center (core) of the galactic map.

Ahhhh ok thank you for the reply! That makes sense I think I understand how that would work.

I have seen galaxy mods that don't use a base galaxy shape, do you know how something like that would work with this tool? For instance a mod that tries to simulate multiple galaxies. I am guessing that if no base shape is selected then maybe the stars are arranged as they are seen in the tool instead of being mapped to a certain shape?
 
I don't know anything, sorry.

Yet, if I recall correctly, I believe there are mods that manage to spawn stars in clusters with a high hyperlane density, and only a few connections between said clusters. If you can find such mods, then perhaps, a large star cluster on the game's galactic map could make for a small galaxy on the map of a galaxy cluster?

Tool has been updated, see changelog:

version 0.9.4 28.11.2020

- added right CTRL for movement/zoom control
- fixed scrolling in editor, when focusing on other than the primary monitor
- fixed custom background import not on equal plane
- fixed random naming not properly initialized
- significantly reduced Nebula size
- middle mouse button fires quick system select now
- applying search will now focus and zoom into searched system
- removed rebind options in start up menu, except zoom
- quick switch additionally on mouse button 3 now
- custom background import now equal with outer borders
- quick switch will now auto select system naming and highlight name(for ultra quick renaming)
- added different star type classes, with diverse color, size, and name size:

0 = brown dwarf(brown color)
1 = white dwarf(white color)
2 = red dwarf(red color)
3 = orange main sequence(orange color)
4 = yellow main sequence(yellow color)
5 = bright main sequence(light blue color)
6 = subgiant(sea blue color)
7 = bright giant(cyan color)
8 = red giant(purple color)
9 = out of norm(magenta color)

- added various dynamic conditions for name sizing(based on fov, systzem size etc.)
- hyperlane mode will add jump lane numbers to name text now(for reference, no hardcoded limit)
- slightly increased maximum zoom out factor
 
Really cool mod but how can you edit systems? (add planets to them and such). Previously there seems to have been a button called "Edit in system editor" but I cant find that anymore.

The "In-System" part of the editor does not correctly work with newwer versions of Stellaris. Since I'm also busy trying to fix various Galaxy related bugs with the editor, based on newer Stellaris updates, I felt it was the btter idea to hide it for the time being.

The reason is easy. As it is now, editing systems manually is done quicker than with the editor, so the system editor didn't serve any purpose.
