Stellar Objects on the Radar

How to make them big

What resource controls the size of the circle on the radar for a stellar object (planet)? I've added some new planets successfully but they all look like small moons on the radar no matter how large they are.

thanks,

As far as I know, the radar size is dependant on the size of the sprite, unless the spob is a station, hypergate, or wormhole.
You may be getting caught by the game's high cut-off points for radar object sizes:
4-pixel box: 0x0 - 89x89 pixels.
Small circle: 90x90 - 199x199 pixels.
Large circle: 200x200+ pixels.

Ah, that is helpful. Thanks.

Also does anyone have any information about sounds? I've made a new hyperspace-in and out sound.
When it plays in nova, it plays superfast (2X.. or more i can't really tell)
I have a H-in sound at 22050 hz and a H-in 2X at 44100hz
Do you have any idea why they are not playing at normal speed?

The speed the sound is played depends on the jump speed of your ship, which can either be slow (75%), normal, semi-fast (125%), or fast (150%).
