Description
** INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW LAUNCHER (2.5 and above) **




** NEW VERSION HERE: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2039037629 **






This overlays a grid over the galaxy map, to make communication in multiplayer games a little easier.

It was inspired by the big map in the War Room in the Series Babylon 5, I'll post a overlay that looks more like the one from the series in a bit.

Edit: Updated for 2.2.*, old but unchanged version for those still on 2.1.* can be found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1586728968

Shoutouts to Dwaine who created the fantastic Immersive Galaxy Mod and the submod Astronomical Objects, Quadrant ( https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1445669234 ) and to Agamidae who simplified&fixed it in Quadrant_fixed ( https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1506078758 ), Agamidae was also so nice to help out with compatability between our two mods (so yes, you can run both at the same time to have rings AND hexes).

Enjoy!

PS: I would like to make this able to swap the overlay programmaticly via mod-menu integration (so there can be more overlays in a MP sessions and players can select the ones they like best, if any). If anyone has a pointer for this, hit me up!

PPS: Smaller version for Tiny & Small galaxies: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1596934542

Thank you, happy to hear that it's liked.

Ah. So strange. Thanks for updating this glorious mod!

Good to know. Couldn't overwrite the old mod with new launcher compatible structure, since the launcher throws an nondescript error. That's why it's split now.

The new launcher requires a descriptor.mod file in the mod folder itself, also they no longer have to be zipped.

No longer compatible to the new launcher. use this version only if you roll back to an older version. Should work with 1.0 - 2.4.

2.5 compatible?

Jup its tested to work fine & no risk of bugging out. Haven't gotten around to update the tag yet.

2.3 compatible ?

@Amnesiac try "Hyperlane Transparency Lite", I like combining it with "Pinwheel Galaxy" :)
