PX2VZ - Planet XML to Vizzy!

I suppose this might end up being the concept for a Vizzy program for a sandbox, being held separate from Vizzy for crafts.

I wish I'd noticed this sooner, this is really cool. You have been awarded the coveted Moon Doge Seal of Approval for your work.

@Nethereal You’re right, it may not be that simple, however it’s like throwing a ball at a brick wall expecting it to hit something around a corner: if the developers design the game more strongly around Vizzy to work in this way then instead of directly programming XML which makes modding impossible for mobile, using Vizzy which is programmed by XML to modify a sandbox/game environment which is not directly part of Unity’s IP2LL (or whatever that policy is) would allow a mobile payer to modify the game without modifying the source code, as long as the current solar system isn’t part of the source code itself.

@TopSecret2 Thanks!
Not sure if its that simple. There are some significant omissions such as terrain/biomes. Which were done due to complexity/benefit at the moment. The main properties (such as radius, orbit details, etc) were what seemed immediately useful.
I've posted the powershell script to generate all the vizzy files in the github link above. Anyone who is inclined is welcome to contribute the terrain/biome part. The script is pretty self explanatory

I can imagine those parts becoming more valuable once we have more solid ways of localizing / direction in relation to different objects with vizzy.

This is one of the most significant developments in this game since it’s creation. You have no idea how important this is. You basically handed a planet builder in Vizzy programming over to the developers on a silver platter, which is one of the most requested features, meaning now mobile devices could make DIY solar systems.

And I’m saying this because this makes the XML files accessible not just directly but through Vizzy, meaning Mobile devices can work with this if it was implemented.

Post limit hit for the day, will finish the remaining bodies tomorrow

@rickgamer0503 Thanks! It was actually automated with a script I wrote in about 45 mins. I just had to take the time to post the crafts and make the forum post etc.

It provides ready made/populated variables with a lot of specifics about the planets/moons/star that are not currently dynamically accessible in Vizzy (I'm sure that will change in the future)

My programming skills are not good enough to understand the meaning of all the variables but it looks like a hard work! Well done!
