ZackG, they are not black. They have alpha channel with dust distribution data, but Windows and many other viewing software interprets it as transparency. If textures were black, nebulae will not work, but this not true.

I know how PNGs work. I actually looked at them in photoshop and theres absolutely no data on alpha and the RGB channels. they are just blank images which results on the nebulas not appearing

Fantastic work as always Bambusman! one question: will these new Nebuale conflict somehow with the default ones? I remember Space Engineer said that he included your old work in 0974.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

ZackG, did you looked at them in SE? Because they should appear even if the pngs are blank (which is planned that the pngs are blank).

n0b0dy, there shouldn't be any problems... i guess but i'm currently working on a few more things and maybe if i finish again, the new ones could be added in the next version (if SpaceEngineer wants them).

Photoshop don't open png as RGB+alpha, it always pre-multiply alpha and open as RGB. Use SE to convert to RGBA tga and then open tga. Open console and type:

savetga addons/textures/nebulae/bug.png

Then open tga in photoshop:



BTW, this psrticular texture have no data in alpha channel, so why not use simple RGB jpeg?

it said that it couldnt open the model.cfg of your addon.

EDIT I got it to work. for some reason making a PAK that contains the models cfg doesnt want to read.

ZackG, it doesn't show because you put a pak file in the addons folder but you need to extract it with winrar or 7zip.

it should look like this:

Code

{
    Galaxy  "Milky Way"
    Type    "Emission"
    RA       03 59 57.99
