Why is there a titan thats all clouds? Same with venus. I Prefer the uncloudes titan and the clouded venus. so i removed the other titan. But i just deleted one of the venus textures and it looks like a cool ocean planet. just needs to be a little brighter.

How do i post screenshots? i have a few i want to show you.

I am not shure if cybdevil is reading this thread maybe you should pm him or post in his thread:

I was just using his work and for me it looked fine, I only made the mercury texture, and that looks not good.

Upload them on a server and use the insert image button.

And sorry that I had no time for putting my screens on (of a non purple mars) I hope I have time today.

I dont know annything about internet shortcuts.

Ups sorry, it is the button with the tree above the textarea of the relpy section here. If you click on this button

You can enter the URL of an image.

Its not showing up.

And is it possiple to open the planet textures in paint and alter them? I'm trying to make Ceres and Kharak(Wraith's Homeworld mod).

And i think the only thing that needs changing on mercury is it needs to be brighter. That and it looks green.

One more friendly criticisme before I return to my game, the earth's forrest areas look black instead of green. And the picture cybdevil was using for the texture must have been taken in winter because the arctic is an ocean. Not a glacier

Yeah its possible i made mercury that way. as a base i used one of the non atmosphere textures from cybdevil and i added a new layer with a mercury image i found in the internet. The rest was a bit cosmetic work. You will only need a dds plugin (if you used Photoshop).Or Gimp can it open by default?!

If you finished Ceres, can you send me the texture or a link? then I can add it to CB Mod (with your permission and credits for you).

And you mentioned before that Ceres is not an ice dwarf. Here is a wiki link.

I decieded to make it as an iceplanet cause of its color and the temperature. Cause I think if you make our sol system realistic most planets will be "no atmosphere" and for me its a little boring. So I decieded to spice up some planets, to have more variety.

I'd like to start off saying great job on the mod. It opened some possibities for me to make some theme style maps. I have been trying to create an Honorverse style and a Stars At War style of mapplay. Several items in the mod make this far more possible.

Problem: Having issues getting it into galaxy forge. I followed the directions in the read me, but have not been able to get it to load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you unpacked the files you got a "icons_GalaxyForge" folder that contains the icons that are used in the Galaxy Forge Tool, these icons (only the icons not the folder) must be copied into the "icons" folder of Galaxy Forge.

The next step is overwriting the "GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef" file you will find it in:

"Celestial Bodies Mod\GameInfo" folder copy this file and go to the root folder where also the galaxy forge exe is included, and put it in there. Backup the original one if you want to make unmodded maps, or backup the whole folder before.

If you now start the Galaxy Forge 3 it should work...

What I've tried:

1. Just add your file to the Gal forge file...Nogo.

2. Took both GalScenDef files out and put yours in.......Nogo.

3. Gonna to delete their info from their galscendef file and replace with yours....dunno yet.

Thanks for the speedy reponse. Your a super hero.

Also in return for your help I'll give you first access to any fruits of my project. Can't wait on the Dov Mod for the broadside mechanic.

Are you sure you dont have the 7DS galaxy forge? It may not work with it.

And actually, Ceres has a surface mainly of an iron rich clay and dust. It is similar to a C-Type asteroid witch the surface contains some Hydrated minerals so there may be some ice yes. but its mainly 'rusty clay' witch same as Mars, gives it that reddish color. So It would be classified as an ice planet. I never said it wouldnt its just the surface features of the SoaSE ice planets are way different. I would have put it as a desert just because it looks more like one.

So im an astronomy geek. So what. Dont judge me!!!!

Annyway, I cant open a dds file in paint. only a jpg. I renamed it but did'nt work.

And yes you can use my ceres all you want when i'm done. Just like i'll be giving Wraith my Kharak when im done. And the problem with the black circle might be the polar squares aren't big enough.

Since i cant open anny of the planets in paint, can you PM me a map of the desert 2 planet in jpg format? (For Kharak). And the No atmosphere one to.

I downloaded galaxy forge fresh and tried all above again. It will not let me copy paste ur info into the galaxy forge galscendef file. It say some thing like this file is just for reading. When I try to save your info to the file.

Any thoughts? Also the icons were add just as you specified.

You dont copy it into the galaxyScenarioDef file, you overwright it.

Their different file types. I figured out how to cut the read only off and over write the data. Now im getting a runtime error.
