In outerplanets-050125.zip, Sao was referred to as S2002-N2. In order to use it as Sao, the following changes must be made.

  • File:S2002_N2.cfg:
    • change the filename to Sao.cfg
    • change the name in the comment line in the top line to Sao (S/2002-N2, Neptune)
    • line 3, change NAME = to Sao
    • Last line, change the name of N2-Station = to Sao-station
  • File:N2-Station.cfg
    • change the filename to Sao-station.cfg
    • Line 3, change the name to Sao-Station
  • File:Neptune_S2002N2.scn
    • change the filename to Neptune_S2002-N2.scn
    • Line 2, change S2002-N2 Station to Sao Station
    • Find the GL-01 ship, change STATUS Landed S2002-N2 to Landed Sao
    • Change BASE N2-Station:1 to Sao-Station:1
  • File:S2002-N2.tex, change filename to Sao.tex
  • File:S2002-N2M.BMP, change filename to SaoM.BMP
