How to start space engine in a custom system?

12 Dec 2019 08:32

Hi, I'm creating a new system for my own personal project and it's boring to have to always start the program in our solar system or to have to select to start in a custom system. Is there a way to customize the program to start in a fictional system? In the previous version this was possible, but I'm having problem with this in the Steam version. The program also start in spacecraft mode but I want to start in free mode, because I'm building worlds, not simulating exploration. What file I have to config to make these changes?

The star of my system is called Magnus and have a fictional planet system.

SpaceEngine starts from the last place you visited, could you upload your se.log file from your SpaceEngine /system folder?
When you select "continue" from the main menu SE starts also from the last mode you previously chose, if you were in spaceflight mode it will start in that way, if you previously were in planetarium you'll "continue" from there.

How to start space engine in a custom system?

You could do a .se script with these two lines:
Select "MyStartObject"
Goto
Save it under the name 'MyStartPosition.se' in the directory 'addons\scripts'. (You can also use another name.)
You can insert this script in a link with the SpaceEngine.exe. Like this:
[...]/SpaceEngine.exe MyStartPosition.se
However, Steam will always ask you for permission to run the script.

Or you could go to your startup object, exit SpaceEngine, and write-protect the file 'save-user.cfg' in the 'config' directory!
Normally SE stores the last position in this file, but then it can not do it anymore.
(But that's a pretty dirty hack.) :lol:

If you downloaded Space Engine from this website, it may not be compatible with VR. There is an updated version of SE on Steam, where it gives you the option to launch in VR mode when you click play.

Oh thanks
A startup development service is a tough decision. Try to find a niche, make contacts and find a client.

If you're using a Steam version of the program, there might also be some additional considerations due to how Steam manages game files and configurations[/font]
