Nebulas

ResourcesNebula    posx,posy,posz,Nebula,distribution,numTendrils,xSize,ySize,zSize,numChunks

posx,posy,posz

The co-ordinates for its position. The co-ordinates designate the exact centre of the nebula.

Nebula

The 'layout' (normally cylinder, sphere, &c). Nebulae can only be of distribution 'Nebula'

distribution

the Distribution File containing Nebula info.

NumTendrils

The number of "tendrils" in the nebula.

xSize, ySize, zSize

Extent of the region that the nebula appears within, defines an axis-aligned box.

NumChunks

Seed value. Best to leave at >= 60 * numTendrils, <= 100 * numTendrils.

eg;

Resources    Nebula,-11851.0,12876.0,0.0,Nebula,nebula.dist,150,39610.0,39610.0,39610.0,10000,0,?
