Summary0021246: Lobby crash
DescriptionHi, Chris! I really like the new lobby!
But I found the way how to crash it :)
In the custom start menu choose 1000 planets and try to generate it. There will not be any picture of the galaxy and you will not be able to press quit. But you will be able to press start and there will be ingame crash with 2 messages.
TagsNo tags attached.

Thank you! I'm really glad you like the new lobby, and that you've been stress-testing it. ;)

* A variety of changes have been made to the map generation code and interface so that the number of planets allowed per galaxy is now shown as a slider, and is properly enforced at all times.
** The actual map types have also had their minimum and maximum numbers of planets brought inwards some -- up from 10 in most cases to 40 for the minimum, and down from 200+ to 120-200 on most of them. For Realistic, which is particularly slow to generate right now, it has a cap of 100.
** All of this should prevent some of the long-running slowness that could be encountered previously and that would lead to strangeness if it was taking 5-10 seconds to generate the basic outline of a map.

* Also put in some defensive code for cases where potentially there could be an error happening in mapgen if it was aborted partway through, and thus didn't have a parent galaxy for a planet it was trying to find the neighbors for.
