solar system planet textures and planet textures in general

[Gurren Lagann]

You can do it in IOS but you need to jailbreak.

Which almost nobody would recommend due to its dangers.

 

[Altaïr]

Then just do a backup if dont trust in jailbreak lol

SP4C3B4R_ please don't make recommendations that are likely to break other members' phone. If you mention the possibility, at least inform people that it's risky. I suppose you won't be willing to take the blame if somebody damages his phone by following your instructions.

ok sorry

so, as i announced some time ago, i've been working on textures for the planets of the solar system. so im going to be releasing some planet textures here, all my textures are ''pole centered'', this means that all the textures will be centered on the north pole of the planet. i also want to tell you guys that if you need, i can make custom textures for you, with or without clouds, with or without atmosphere, i have a tool to make my own maps so i can make your own textures for SFS. my first texture is my favorite planet, jupiter, center on the south pole, it shows the red spot and most of the storms on the south pole of jupiter. this texture used to be in a very high resolution, exactly it was an 8K pixels texture, but because of the limits of the game, i had to make it very low resolution, its 1K now. anyways, if you are going to use it on a pack or something else, please give credit. because its not fair that you upload something and you claim it as yours when actually someone else did it. enjoy!

ok, next pack of textures, here we have:
- venus
- earth
- saturn
i want to add that most of the textures that i have are pretty old, so im remaking most of them, the jupiter texture is really really old, and i already uploaded it on discord when i had the other account, so im afraid that people that already has that texture tells me that im a thief, even if it was me who actually did it, because the texture is old, it has that black background, but this textures are new so they are in png, ready to use.

sure! do you have discord? i would prefer talking through there. also, i dont really play sfs anymore due to personal things, so all i do now is just textures. the textures are already there and i released a file with all the textures inside a few months ago, so if you want to use all those textures i did and give credit, you can do that too.

Does this work on version 1.5 android?

yes! these textures work for any SFS version except those before the 1.35. feel free to use them for your planets mods, and if you have any requests for new textures for exoplanets/custom planets, let me know and i'll try to make new ones.

Thanks loads! I'm just gonna use them to make my save look a bit nicer.

 

[Soyuzturtle]

Sorry how do I insert these into the normal game solar system?

I think you may have to make a copy of the default solar system and paste in the textures...
I'm not sure you can modify the "Example" solar system folder.

Okay thanks.

Modify and then rename the Example set. Then once you start up the game it will generate a new Example set so that you don't lose it, and you just make a new world with the modified renamed set.

In what way do I modify it?

 

[TtTOtW]

Go into the planet files and replace the texture name with the new texture's name, but no extension (.jpg etc). Thenn place the new texture file in the Textures folder. Then make sure you rename the Example folder or you'll lose your changes.

Where's the textures file?

 

[TtTOtW]

Create one called Planet Textures

Oh I see

I've got this working now but the ground is all grey. Is it supposed to be like this , has something gone wrong or is there a way to make it look better?

What happens when you zoom all the way out...?

All the way zoomed out it looks completely normal. It's only when your. Zoomed in enough to see your craft on the surface that the ground looks grey.

 

[Pink]

Must be the clouds.

 

[Soyuzturtle]

Must be the clouds.

Yeah your right. Is there any way to fix that?

It's because the ground you're on is grey. The game has always done that when you alter the texture, it alters how the ground looks zoomed in because it's now a different colour zoomed out

For example.

The ground using the standard textures:

And the same launch pad, using updated textures

It's even the same quicksave. All I've changed is the texture file

its grey because the edge of the texture is grey. you can fix this by making the edge of the texture green, but thats too much trouble so i think i'll do it. sorry about that

Okay thanks. I appreciate it a lot. I would do it myself but I hardly know anything about planet texturing.
