A tool to help mod new sectors and gate connections in X4: Foundations. This tool provides an easy way to create clusters, define sectors within those clusters, and establish gate connections between them. It generates a fully working mod directory with all necessary XML files, making the modding process seamless.
- Cluster creation (placement & visualization on map)
- Sector creation (up to 3 per cluster for now)
- Gate creation between custom & basegame sectors (dragging + rotating)
- Region creation (dragging + resizing + ability to fully choose what is inside the region)
- Possibility to create a complete custom universe if you wish
- Auto-detect new versions and will show a popup if new version available
- Easily edit each component by double clicking on them (clusters, sectors, gates, regions)
- Detect when you have connections with DLC sectors and will add dependency to content.xml automatically
- Export/Import configuration (to continue working on your changes later)
- Export to XML (creates a mod folder with all the required files, it can be directly put in extensions folder and run)
- Just download the latest release, it will contain the tool executable.
- Click the "New" button under the Cluster section.
- This will automatically create a sector with the same name.
- You can edit the sector by double-clicking on the new sector entry.
- Select the source sector.
- Click the "New" button under the Connections section.
- A prompt will appear where you can:
- Select the target sector.
- Set the gate position and rotation.
- Left-click within the hexagons to move the gate.
- Right-click to rotate the gate.
- After adding your connection, press "Generate XML".
- A prompt will appear asking for:
- The name of your mod.
- A unique prefix to prevent overlap with other mods.
Make sure your prefix is unique to avoid conflicts with other mods.
Add the resulting folder in your gamedirectory/extensions folder and enable it in-game to see the results.
