Planet backgrounds

Post by w03 »

I was wondering how to make new backgrounds for planets, space stations, etc. when you dock, for example, the tents background on arid planets. (Oceanic ammonia, arid methane, overgrown methane, and others need new backgrounds). I already read the manual, but it didn't state which file/folder links which planet to what background.

The base scripts (in the bases folder) link planet types to backgrounds (e.g. in the desert.py for desert planets, you can see the following line:
Base.Texture (room, 'background', 'bases/desert/desert_landing'+time_of_day+'.spr', 0, 0)
. So have a look there...
