UPDATE: 9/20/09
Based on discussion in the Next Patch thread, I'm working on making a variation of the Final Frontier mapscript to produce a region of "enclosed space" for Antaran territory. Then, there will be two wormhole-style Dimensional Portals linking the enclosed space and the territory outside.
CURRENTLY: The mapscript makes the enclosed space. It places a Dimensional Portal(FEATURE_DIMENSIONAL_PORTAL) inside. It places one outside as well. It randomizes the enclosed space- it can be in one of four corners. It places a barbarian city and 5 Battleship IIIs inside.
IT DOESN'T: Give "Teh Alienz" civilization the stuff inside enclosed space.
Changelog for latest update:
-Fixed bug where the row of nebula on the edge of the map was not generated, thus placing a hole in the barrier.
-Forced a solar system to appear in the enclosed space (as the generator didn't always put one there).
-Prevented radiation clouds, asteroids, or nebula from appearing inside the enclosed space (so the fractal generator can't fill the enclosed space full of radiation clouds before the solar system and portal are placed). Nebula still appear outside.
So a few questions to think about:
1. What should the Dimensional Portal look like? Should it just be one of the existing wormholes? Or should it be another recolor? If so, what color should it be?
2. What should be placed inside the Enclosed Space?
3. Should I change the name to "AntaranSpace"?
4. Should I allow the player to choose which portion of the map the enclosed space is located in?
