Ok. Dude im freakin out here. why complicate it so much? Its as easy as 123

1. Copy the galaxyScenarioDef (Not the !GalaxyScenarioDef_Changes)

2. Paste the galaxyScenarioDef file into the galaxy forge 3 folder overwriting the orriginal one.

3. Copy icons to the icon folder and PLAY UR GAME!

Easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i have a terraformed Mars map that i might make first before Ceres. Just to make mor of a terran planet variety.

Srry again.

Thank you, It was easy as 123. Now that I know theirs 2 files with the same info. Smoke a binger dude.

DarkCloud, runs your Galaxy Forge now again?

if you use photoshop you will need to download this dds plugin:

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html

As far as i know this works also with paintshop pro. But if you use Gimp i only know there is a way to open it with, but i dont know how.

PS:

If you mean "microsoft paint" it doesnt work with this programm.

It doesnt say if its  microsoft. But it opens a jpg file.

You know this planet making thing would be a lot easyer if we could have a button to switch off the UV mapping and use spherical mapping like the gas giants. So what if the polar regions would be a little distorted.

I dont have photoshop i have photosnap.

 So it might take a while. I started making terraformed Venus now. But i need a .jpg format planet. anny planet will do. i just need the shape. Then i can start. It wont be verry hard. i made a desert earth a while ago but it was only a map.

This mod sounds amazing! Unfortunatly I use sins 1.05 because it can run 7 Deadly Sins.   Can anyone tell me how to convert the new planets to version 1.05?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

The problem is the Pulsar ability works only since entrenchment 1.02, cause start cant deal damage before that patch.

But there is a non-entrenchment version of the mod for sins 1.15/1.16 right? What I need to know is how to convert them. Anyway thanks for trying.

So I am running the mod on Entrenchment 1.02 and the planet sizes aren't the larger sizes. Was that aspect of the sol mod that cybdevil did and was never incorperated into this version? or what could be going wrong?

Edit: The sizes don't seem to work on any map other then the demo maps.

Thats right I downgraded the 0.7 version of this mod for vanilla sins. I included into the subfolders of my mod a lot of "..._changes.txt" files, except for the entities. But the Excell sheet may a bit of help what I changed or included to them.

I am not 100% shure how the changes from sins 1.05 to 1.12 changed the modding behavior, cause I started the mod and playing sins with version 1.12 and entrenchment beta.

Hmm first I have to say that I resized all planets again, they have not the sizes that cybdevil gave them. So each planet in this mod (except the gasgiants and suns) comes in 4 sizes (x0.25 moons, x0.6 dwarfs, x1.0 normal and x1.3 huge, the factor is based on a original sins planet), as I descriped it in the Excellsheet. I tried the mod also with the random ingame galaxy creator and it worked. 

I dont think the stars are different sizes. but i like it that way because if they where to big it woult take even longer to travet through their grav. well.

Oh and thanks for the earth texture. Im done Mimas now but it looks a little distorted at the crater. And at the area the poles meet the bar.

But im suspecting mimas will be something like half the size of a moon planet annyways.

TohKlidan,

                    You have done marvelous work here, it is beautiful!!!  

Just wanted you to know.

As for my texturing, im going to make most of the moons. (Titania, Oberon, Mimas, Triton and more. I cant make mesh files so if you know how i can send you the textures when im done but you have to make the mesh files.

Also another idea. See if you can get the Solar Sins planets in there.

OMG.... your mod is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! thx a bunch for those cool scenarios. MAke the whole game much more realistc, ... and all those new stuff..... oh and the Earth and moon.... u took the real pictures!!

ok ill stop here... got a crazy game going one.... jsut wanna say THX!!!!!!!!!

u made my day!!!

keep the good work!!!!

No problem. Except of Mimas most of the meshes you mentioned exists but have a default texture, and i have just to convert your jpgs back to dds and reference them in the meshfiles.

I think it is very hard to see them, only the moons and the much langer gasgiants, are resized that much that you can "see" the difference. But if you look into the mesh files you will see the different coords, also in the entity files you see the different movement radius. But indeed the difference of the sizes are not realistic and not that much as Cybdevil did it. It tried to get a balance between realism and gameplay.

Nacey from the "distant stars" mod team is adding the features of this mod to "distant stars". But it will take a while.

And to the rest thanks for your kind words!

In the meanwhile i am working on the dyson sphere ( see here ).
