Part 6 - Checklist

CHECKING THE PLANET MAP

  • The planet map file should be named using your planetname, ie bodville.loc - all in lower case.
  • If there is a message file, it should be named using your planetname, ie bodville.msg - all in lower case.
  • None of the locations should use any of the space properties - space, link and peace.
  • The locations should not be crammed up against any of the edges.
  • The map should have at least ten locations.
  • There should be no movements that lead to a non-existent location.
  • The map title should be set on the Map Info panel - it should be the name of your planet, for example Bodville, and all the words should start with a capital letter.
  • The launch pad and orbit location numbers should be set - ie 365 and Newstar.Newstar Space.460.
  • There must be a hospital - but only one.
  • If there is a shipyard, there should only be one.
  • The total number of locations for both space and planet map must not exceed 50.
