You should have a new rendition for our smaller neighbor, Andromeda.
It's rings are now in a rind form due to a collision with M32 210 millions years ago.
I stretch the photo and then I edit them to make them look even better.

Sorry for the spelling error.
I was trying to say its spiral arms are now in a ring form.

If we could use that, that would probably be it, but i think file names are limited to 4 letters, unless they are glitched files, for example one time an automated animation was being created and it glitched, it came out to be 700 files, each one named the file name. There was 00001.00001 and if you hover your mouse over it it said [00001 FILE]

In its simplest form the new file format is just an old xml system file that's been zipped and then renamed from *.zip to *.ubox.
This is how Microsoft's docx and xmlx files work (they are zip file containers for xml files).
In order to make *.ubox files open Universe Sandbox when you double click on then in Windows requires a few registry edits that are performed by the setup.exe program.
(where * = whatever-the-file-name-is)
Does that answer your question SuperNova?

I can't even seem to find a ubox file. Universe Sandbox Beta 1 and 2 didn't save as .ubox files I think, but if you save a system in Beta 3 they will be saved as .ubox files. You can also rename files from X.xml to X.ubox. |

[the ubox file] gave me a crazy code
That's because it's a zip file. You need to extract the contents of the ubox file (which will be a single xml file) and then you can open that file in notepad. You can either rename the ubox file to zip or just open the ubox file with a program that opens zip files. |

that's because the computer or program does not know how to process a .ubox that isn't a disguesed .zip. The .ubox is just a file, not a compressed file. It thinks it needs to know that programming to open it, so it doesn't.

How to edit a UBOX file 1 - Rename "yourfile.ubox" to "yourfile.ubox.zip" 2 - Extract contents of zip file 3 - Open and edit the xml file contained inside. 4 - Use program to compress xml file into a zip file 5 - Rename "newfile.zip" to "newfile.ubox" Let me know what step you're having trouble with and I'll explain in more detail. XML was more easy
I agree. Two new things that the new ubox file format will let us do are (that we couldn't do with xml by itself): - Open Universe Sandbox by double clicking on a ubox file. - Bundle image maps, help files, and multiple xml files together. (not yet implemented) |
