Update & Looking for an artist
Plans for the future
Hey guys,
I am currently trying to fix some of the bugs of this version of the mod and testing the first prescripted countries. After fixing some of the bugs and finding a lot more I concluded that static maps are really not made for user-created countries. Most of the bugs are not fixable for this type of countries, especially not the origin related bugs. Additionally selecting your starting system will not work with user-created countries. Here is why:
Let's say you selected Naboo as your starting system. What the game now does is it chooses a random system in the galaxy and converts it to Naboo. Now Naboo exists two times in the galaxy. One in the right place and one somewhere random. The game has no option for me to check what the user selected as starting system so I don't have an option to fix this. For prescripted countries, this is not a problem because I can give them a special tag which says the game "hey this country should start in the system Naboo". But what I found out is that you can still edit this empire ingame. So if you want to start on Naboo you select the Kingdom of Naboo edit it to whatever you want and as long as you didn't change the starting system you will start on Naboo.

So as you may imagine my plans changed quite a lot after I realised that. My original plans were to add this galaxy, give you the option to choose your starting system and let you use other mods for custom countries and so on. But now that I realised that there are so many problems with user-created countries I want to switch to creating prescripted countries for you to use. There will still be the option to create new countries but then you cant start on a specific planet and you will have the unfixable issues.

Looking for an Artist
So now that I want to create prescripted countries I need someone who can create the species portraits and flags for the countries. I looked around in the workshop to see if I could ask other mod makers to integrate their mod but most of them don't have other species than humans or are really outdated. So if you are a good artist and interested write to me.

Next Update
I'm currently working on some of the human countries. They will be the following:
- Humans: Alderaanian, Corellian, Coruscanti, Nabooian
- Mandalorian

After that, I hope I found an artist so I don't need to use the Stellaris species for the other star wars species. The Update will come in a couple of days.

I might be able to help with the art sector. I'm also a huge star wars buff, so I might be able to help on the lore side of things as well. What do you need specifically?

Hey. I want to create a huge library of prescripted countries to choose from. For that I need a portraits of the species and their associated flag. It would probably also be nice to have the species and flags as seperate mods, but thats something I could do. Thanks for your interest :)

i think we can colaborate. i've made all SW custom scecies/countries with their unique startes that i found on workshop. I play stellaris SW only and the only thing i didn't have was galaxy map.
So i can share my SW countries and help in implmenting it. I have no expierence in Stellaris modding< but i see that they use open source. So tgether we can do some stuff, i wanted to do, but wasnt able to do this alone

so we can share contacts for better cooperation and discuss details

I've just looked into files. I think we need few days in skype/discord to make full premade set to this map. I've done already about 30 species/countries with starters, we just need to unite it in your mod with all dependencies and test. Strong point is that i*ve tested my stack for may hours and they do policies as they should. We just need to finish this and after all test it.

So looking forward to your answer to start asap
Sorry for the late reply. I'll start making stuff on this end and let you know whenever I have something worth sending. I'm thinking I'll start with factions like Naboo and the Hutt Cartel, since I assume you already covered the Alliance and the Empire.

Best of Luck!
Side note: Do the portraits need to be animated or can they be static?
I could perhaps help as well, at least with flags :)

They dont need to be animated. While I dont have portraits I will make a dependency for another mods which has portraits for star wars, but I will certainly change the portraits to yours when you send them :)
