Milky_Way.xml editing

Need help testing contributed art or code or having trouble getting your newest additions into game compatible format? Confused by changes to data formats? Reading through source and wondering what the developers were thinking when they wrote something? Need "how-to" style guidance for messing with VS internals? This is probably the right forum.

Milky_Way.xml editing

Post by poopshotgun »

Is there a way to add the atmospheric effects, fog, light maps, and such that are in a normal .system file to the Milky_Way.xml file? This looks similar to the .system file, but it's all crammed together. Intended?

<var name="texture" value="planets/Snow"/>
<var name="texture_max" value="2"/>
<var name="initial" value="fr"/>
<var name="lights" value="Snow_light.pngwrapx6wrapy3 dirt_light_repeat.pngwrapx64wrapy64"/>

And can I put more in, like the fog?

<planet name="Tropical">
<var name="texture" value="planets/carribean"/>
<var name="texture_max" value="3"/>
<var name="initial" value="t"/>
<var name="atmosphere" value="true"/>
</planet>

set atmosphere to be true

So that prety much covers all the fog and stuff from the .system file?
