I know Argh is gone, but I absolutely had to update this topic to show what I achieved, thanks to Argh's Pretty Planet Project.

The picture is there and pretty much explains itself...

man, i couldnt get it to work. i dono what code to repalce and stuff, the above didnt help.lets say i wanted to replace manhattan. what exactly would i put??? help would be apretiated ^^

i tried a few times, got crashes or no planet at all lol.........

OK, I am able to get custom planets in game using your project as a guide. They planets all look great I created and work. I can even place docking rings on them and dock. Here is the only problem I have.

When you enter a system and click on a planet, it will you your distance away from it. Then as you get closer, the number goes down as it should. However, at a certain distance, it reaches 0 distance away from the planet, but you are still a ways away from it.

I create a sphere in milkshape, as well as a sur. Then I use FLModelTool to resize the cmp and the sur to match the cmp.

How do correct this?

check the size you have entered in the solarch.ini

uhhh theres a guid now?

th eonly thing the links game me was a cmp resizer thing, and a zip file which contained:
a TGA file
a potoshop file
a MS3D (prettyplanet)
prittyplanet.cmp
prittyplanet.sur

wat guid?? am i missing sumthing (sorry for being a pain in the ass but i realy dont kno what...)

sorry for the double post, ill just show you guys what i done.

[Solar
nickname = planet_earthgrncld_4000
ids_name = 60203
ids_info = 60204
type = PLANET
DA_archetype = solar\planets\custom1\PrettyPlanet.cmp
material_library = solar\planets\custom1\prettyplanet.mat
mass = 1000000
solar_radius = 4000
shape_name = NNM_SM_MEDIUM_FOREST_MOON

thats the one used for manhattan, and i added the pretty planet cmp/mats to it. now when i log in game manhattan doesnt show up (i can still click it, but theres nothign there)

wat am i doin wrong?

PS the planet cmp/mat ARE in solar\planets\custom1 that folder

@Tidus
at the top of your post is an edit button (just in case you are still searching it ^^)

rofl, there it is ^_^;

as i was saying, is there a way to make it more transperant?

the pic (that i did wrong on the last page)


ADDED VIA EDIT (hehe)
when i resize the planet.cmp the planet doesnt show up. it doesnt matter how much bigger i make it (scale it by 2, or by 100) it just disapears.

i think it has somehting to do with the LOD ranges? (but i dono what to change it to )


ADDED AGAIN (yes im in luv with the edit button lol )


QUOTE ME ^^
-as i was saying, is there a way to make it more transperant?-
