oh okay, cool :)

hi distant stars developers, haven't been on the forum in a while but I would like to make an imprtant Q are you able to put 4 starbases around companion stars? and if not then the next mod update can at least have 3 starbases (due to a companion star being slightly smaller than the main one) max around it.

I downloaed sins AND microsoft directx but it keeps minidumping for some reason

there is a problem with some dds maps, they show NOTHING I expected from the normal planet maps from in game

now one more problem, I try clicking on the converter applications and they dont work, what should I do? I wanna convert entity files from bin to txt

I have a problem with downloading, when I download the file, it is just in plain file format, no extensions, just a file.

how do I open dds files? I cant use gimp and cant afford photoshop.

[quote who="Stant123" reply="7251" id="3154596"]No, you still need individual meshes for each planet type, however, they can be copied over from another planet type and renamed. The only editing needed for the mesh would be the materials section, which is far easier to edit when the file is in text format rather then in BIN and in some sort of modeling program. NumMaterials 1 Material Diffus

link?

okay stant, just one thing, I try to turn bin files into txt files but my converter closes immediately after I open it without doing anything. I tried EVERYTHING for a converter but they all do the same thing. please troubleshoot.

all we need to do is use the moon, dwarf, normal, and huge sized copied from normal urban planets, snap on a terran planet texture, and erase continents just showing urban land, and in the mod I notice there is only one type of terran texture, on the normal game there are 2 textures, so we can use the other terran texture for this one. we solved the problem of the mesh, now to solve the problem of galaxyscenariodef and entity files.

I have a suggestion for a new planet type. It is called a loose urban planet. It is in between terran and urban planets. It has 6 population upgrades, 2 artifact upgraes, 3 tactical upgrades, 3 logic upgrades, and 3 emergency upgrades. It has both metal and crystal asteroids but leans closer to crystal. It only requires 1 stage to get out of underdevelopment tax loss. It has the map of a terran planet except all the land masses are completely urbanized. It has a bluish grey atmosphere color,

well, particle forge always says it stopped working right when I try to run it so your outta luck, and the converter opens up the cmd but the cmd immediately shuts down, so you are outta more luck. And I am outta the team :(

I might sound insane by saying this but... is it cool that eventually, about a few months (or till my bday aug 25th) I can be part of the team?

banne for banning the guy for knowing better, silly kid :P

okay, is it cool if I share the map on WC and link it back here?

actually what I meant was a map that shows birth of the advent, there was birth of the TEC.

what are the lore rules?

Also can I make a lore map that has the birth of the advent? [EDIT} sorry for the double post DX

I think that there should be a scaling facot that adds auto res to everything, as for planets, there would be auto res fixed at certain latitudes/longitudes. Google earth uses auto res, the closer you are, the higher the ship/planet resolution. MY vision is pretty cool when you think about it, but a big fat pain to mod :P

for some reason when I try to run ParticleForge.exe it instantly says ParticleForge.exe has stopped working. Helps? I copied all files and downloaded it without corruption.

this is an edited orion's belt, or orion's belt 3.0 https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sins_maps/350/ picture is in the link.

okay, I will get the orion's belt 3.0 posted on deviantart as a scrap, my da name is embarrising (cuz I was dumb back then, go figure) and I hope you like it. [EDIT] turns owt DA doesnt allow .GALAXY files (the w in owt was intentional, go figure again) [EDIT[EDIT]] Got the map here. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sins_maps/350/

okay thank you stant.

I think the map orion's belt should have at least a couple planets around the secondary stars. Mind if I throw some things around about a couple maps and show you uys the results?
