Planet editing under 1.5

[BANDWITH]

Alright, I've decided to change the textures of the stock system just to make it look better (textures are from ACSS, credits to Gurren Lagann) and I'm a tad confused.

So for the planet texture, would I put "NewEarth" or "NewEarth.png"?

Just Newearth. You do not need the file type in any of the inputs.

Awesome, thanks!

Btw I'm trying to build flat surface in right side of launch pad. There I can land space shuttles and take off jets/ aeroplanes.
Heightmap file is available.

Just NewEarth. You never add the extension

Just wanna make sure, do any of the planet sizes change except for the Sun?

No they are all similar. Only the distance between planets is changed.

Perfect, thanks!

Actually, Phobos and Deimos shrank. Considerably.

You can't.

Well, you can edit the textures. You can't make more, move them or do anything else with them.

It says that in the link you posted.

I'm having trouble with creating my own solar system/planet pack. First I copy the Example folder and rename it, then delete all the files in planet data except for Earth, Sun and Phobos (Phobos' parent object is switched to Earth in place of Mars).

But it appears that the file for Phobos is cut off, and when I try to load the pack ingame this happens:

Also, here are the import settings.

Could I get some help?

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Hmmm. It appears that the game can't find the parent body of Phobos. Double check what Phobos is supposed to be orbiting.

 

[Ghost220819]

The parent body has switched from Earth back to Mars, and the file appears to be cut off.

Right where it says Curve4, there should be more than that.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Well, I think I see the problem. Phobos is supposed to be orbiting Mars, but there is no Mars.

If you want an asteroid like Phobos orbiting Earth, how about if you save it as a different body, and not as Phobos.

Still doesn't work...

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

I don't know then. But the error it gives Is basically that it can't find the parent body.

I think i can see the issue. The file formatting is messed up, with an example being the "Surface Layer-Shadow" parameter group being outside the intended area. Could you send the planet file itself, so i can make further analysis and try fixing it?

Sure! I'll go grab it.

Here you are!

 

[Gurren Lagann]

Here you are!

That's odd, most of the file just fixed itself? I'd guess from the screenshot that you forgot to save some changes before the upload. There's a golden rule in planet editing that says that you should always save your planet files after every change, so no modifications are lost.

Anyway, here's a (somewhat self-) fixed version. I personally didnt find the issues shown in the screenshots...
