| Darwin IV system
I was wondering if I'm doing a separate thread, but I think the system is not interesting enough for this.
The book and the documentation seem to be interesting, but I have not the book, have therefore not read it, and do not understand the documentaion because it is in English.
Thus, the planet looks like in the book or in the documentation, textures should be used.
But planets with textures are boring when you land on them to explore. I also have no textures.
So I made the planet procedurally.
But I made textures for the 'Amoebic Sea'. It is a 'Clouds' layer.
According to this wiki, the system has, besides the planet Darwin IV only five gas giants without known moons.
What I find totally unlikely.
First, that there are only gas giants, secondly, that they should have no moons.
So I made the two innermost planets ice giants.
I have also provided these five planets with moons.
But they are in a separate script, and could be left off. Also could be omitted the script with the comets.
For SE 0.974 RC2:
Unzip the zip file in the 'addons' directory.
For SE 0.972/0.973:
Unzip the zip file in the SpaceEngine folder
Insert in the 'universe.cfg':
Under 'Star Catalogs':
Code "catalogs/DarwinIV.sc"
Under 'Planet Catalogs':
Code "catalogs/planets/DarwinIVSys.sc"
"catalogs/planets/DarwinIVMoons.sc"
"catalogs/planets/DarwinComets01.sc"
I have not tested it with SE 0.972/0.973.
Small correction in the 'DarwinIVSys.sc'.
The rings of two of the planets were wrong. Replace the originally provided file by the attached file.
Don't forget to look here.

But if you do not like this, you can use this 'patch'.
Code // DarwinIVPatch.sc
Planet "Darwin IV"
{
ParentBody "Darwin"
Class "Terra"
Clouds
{
Height 12.7168
Velocity 1000
BumpHeight 5.97498
Hapke 0.2
SpotBright 2
SpotWidth 0.15
DayAmbient 2
mainFreq 0.642857
mainOctaves 9
Coverage 0.293651
twistZones 1.81266
twistMagn 0.0552939
}
Clouds
{
Height 5
DiffMap "DarwinIV/AmoebicusB.*"
BumpMap "DarwinIV/AmoebicusBBump.*"
BumpHeight 10
BumpOffset 5
GlowMap "DarwinIV/AmoebicusBGlow.*"
GlowMode "Night"
GlowColor (0.20 0.10 0.50)
GlowBright 2.5
Velocity 0
DiffMapAlpha "Transp"
}
}
Just do it in 'addons\catalogs\planets'.

| steeljaw354,
With the rings you're right. This is my mistake. I changed the sizes of the planets, when I added the moons, and forgot to change the rings. Use this new file. The patch file is then no longer necessary.
Moreover, you should delete the 'PurgatorBelt_1000.sc' from the 'addons/catalogs/planets' directory. It is pointless to use these asteroids without the associated system. This only creates a lot of error messages in the log file.
As for the problem in the first picture: I have no idea what caused this. In none of my three 0.974 RC2 installations I have this problem.
Don't forget to look here.

| At the end of time ...
The time of the red giant sun.
(Work in Process)
It is not finished, but who wants can test it. Maybe it has glitches.
It is ONLY for SE 0.974 RC2
The idea I have from that thread: The Sun as a Red Giant by Voekoevaka!

| Hey!,
Ich habe dich ja neulich gefragt, ob du den Darwin IV machen könntest. Und netterweise hast du es getan! :D:D:D
Ich hätte da aber noch eine Idee den Planeten zu verschönern... Du hast die Surface-Textur von dem Buch genommen... Am besten wäre es wenn du die Textur des Planeten aus der Dokumentation nehmen würdest. Ansonsten ist das extrem geil! :-D
Habe ein Bild mit Photoshop gemacht:

---------------------------------------------
Wenn ich das installiere sehe ich nicht den Surface wie auf den Bildern :/

| funsihd4392,
Texturen habe ich nur für den 'Amoebic Sea' gemacht, ansonsten ist die Planetenoberflache prozedural generiert.
(In English: Textures I have made only for the 'Amoebic Sea'. The planet surface is procedurally generated.)
Don't forget to look here.
