Thanks for your post, rmkiefer.

Its good to know that there some people out there, that like my work.

One thing that I have not figured out is how to change the rotation of the planets. Currently, they all rotate clockwise, meaning that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east for each planet. Any idea on where this can be changed or is it hardcoded?

No there is no such parameter I think it is fixed, you also can't change the speed of the rotation. But if you post your ideas in the suggetion thread for the next expansion, maybe the devs will add it. They also get the "DoDamage" trigger to work on stars with the latest patch after I wrote a email to the support.

Also I wasn't able to change angle for the rings of Uranus, the only things you can do with rings is change the colors and change the chance how often they will appear.

I have not found any map that includes sol and additional systems around.

But I have an idea for a map where Sol, Sirrius, Orion and Alpha centauri is included. 

Perhaps someone else has made such a map for this mod already, and will it share with us?

I updated the Entrenchement version of this mod to 0.8b today. There are only minor changes and fixes. You will find the links in the first post.

Also all files are now hosted on mediafire. and I repacked the vanilla version 0.7 it contains now also the galaxyforge icons.

You will get one if the map is finished, but this may take awhile.

Mars Purple?

Someone posted this problem several posts before, that all planets are purple. But after I asked him to send me a screenshot, he never replyed again.

I don't know what the problem is, cause on my pc it doesn't look purple. maybe it is a problem with cybdevils texture, I just took them without any changes. Or it has something to do with the grafic card and the settings. 

I can post a screenshoot and my setting here, later today when i am at home again!

It might be the entity file. try changing the planetglow color. I would but im in the middle of my test of this game. Yhe planets really are great. exept a few texture glitches (zooming out you can see a black circle as if the planet was cut up).

I also have some more planet ideas. If cybdevil is interested to make them.

1. Mimas (Death Star Moon!!!)

2. Sedna

3. Dysromina

4. An Actual Ceres not an ice dwarf.

And more.

Why is there a titan thats all clouds? Same with venus. I Prefer the uncloudes titan and the clouded venus. so i removed the other titan. But i just deleted one of the venus textures and it looks like a cool ocean planet. just needs to be a little brighter.

How do i post screenshots? i have a few i want to show you.

I am not shure if cybdevil is reading this thread maybe you should pm him or post in his thread:

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/309307

I was just using his work and for me it looked fine, I only made the mercury texture, and that looks not good.

 

How do i post screenshots? i have a few i want to show you.

Upload them on a server and use the insert image button.

 

And sorry that I had no time for putting my screens on (of a non purple mars) I hope I have time today.

a cool ocean planet

Its not showing up.

And is it possiple to open the planet textures in paint and alter them? I'm trying to make Ceres and Kharak(Wraith's Homeworld mod).

And i think the only thing that needs changing on mercury is it needs to be brighter. That and it looks green.

One more friendly criticisme before I return to my game, the earth's forrest areas look black instead of green. And the picture cybdevil was using for the texture must have been taken in winter because the arctic is an ocean. Not a glacier

Yeah its possible i made mercury that way. as a base i used one of the non atmosphere textures from cybdevil and i added a new layer with a mercury image i found in the internet. The rest was a bit cosmetic work. You will only need a dds plugin (if you used Photoshop).Or Gimp can it open by default?!

If you finished Ceres, can you send me the texture or a link? then I can add it to CB Mod (with your permission and credits for you).

And you mentioned before that Ceres is not an ice dwarf. Here is a wiki link.

I decieded to make it as an iceplanet cause of its color and the temperature. Cause I think if you make our sol system realistic most planets will be "no atmosphere" and for me its a little boring. So I decieded to spice up some planets, to have more variety.

I'd like to start off saying great job on the mod. It opened some possibities for me to make some theme style maps. I have been trying to create an Honorverse style and a Stars At War style of mapplay. Several items in the mod make this far more possible.

Problem: Having issues getting it into galaxy forge. I followed the directions in the read me, but have not been able to get it to load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you unpacked the files you got a "icons_GalaxyForge" folder that contains the icons that are used in the Galaxy Forge Tool, these icons (only the icons not the folder) must be copied into the "icons" folder of Galaxy Forge.

The next step is overwriting the "GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef" file you will find it in:

"Celestial Bodies Mod\GameInfo" folder copy this file and go to the root folder where also the galaxy forge exe is included, and put it in there. Backup the original one if you want to make unmodded maps, or backup the whole folder before.

If you now start the Galaxy Forge 3 it should work...

Also in return for your help I'll give you first access to any fruits of my project. Can't wait on the Dov Mod for the broadside mechanic.

Are you sure you dont have the 7DS galaxy forge? It may not work with it.

And actually, Ceres has a surface mainly of an iron rich clay and dust. It is similar to a C-Type asteroid witch the surface contains some Hydrated minerals so there may be some ice yes. but its mainly 'rusty clay' witch same as Mars, gives it that reddish color. So It would be classified as an ice planet. I never said it wouldnt its just the surface features of the SoaSE ice planets are way different. I would have put it as a desert just because it looks more like one.

So im an astronomy geek. So what. Dont judge me!!!!

Annyway, I cant open a dds file in paint. only a jpg. I renamed it but did'nt work.

And yes you can use my ceres all you want when i'm done. Just like i'll be giving Wraith my Kharak when im done. And the problem with the black circle might be the polar squares aren't big enough.

Since i cant open anny of the planets in paint, can you PM me a map of the desert 2 planet in jpg format? (For Kharak). And the No atmosphere one to.

I downloaded galaxy forge fresh and tried all above again. It will not let me copy paste ur info into the galaxy forge galscendef file. It say some thing like this file is just for reading. When I try to save your info to the file.
