Building/Tweaking Solar Systems
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2019 2:40 pm
I've been working with a solar system I found in sectors/testsystems/sol_sector called celeste.system. The original file looks like this:
I plan to use it for the little campaign I'm working on as a system of interest where I can put some fixers and what not. The problem I'm having is that a) everything is too bunched up together and b) none of the textures are rendering on the planets. I've moved the system into sectors/Sol and capitalized the name of the system and started working on trying to spread the system out. Here's what I have:
Everything is still way too close together, and still none of the textures are rendering. Are the xyz coordinates in km or are they in au?
Edit: So I just found out you can put the planet's apoapsis and periapsis in there using the ri, rj, rk and si, sj, sk variables. Apparently, I've been changing the wrong variable to spread the system out. It still doesn't tell me why the textures aren't rendering, though.
