it seems that its not compatible with 0.9.8

Might not. I can not test this now, because my AMD graphics card is broken.
Currently I can not work with SE 0.980. sad

That sucks. I hope you get a new GPU soon.

Unfortunately, probably not.
I have a fairly old laptop with switchable graphics. (AMD / Intel)
It does not pay to install a new video card.
And a new computer I can not afford before the end of the year.

Laptops make very bad dedicated gaming computers. Desktop PCs are much better, again I hope you get one soon.

Rocheworld

A more recent version for the Rocheworld.



The screenshot is not of this version. I can not make screenshots at the moment.

Put the script in 'addons\catalogs\planets'

JackDole, Could I suggest where you make Theia a moon of a procedural Earth at moon distance, so both of them are tidally locked together, inside the Procedural solar system in place of P.Earth and P.Moon?

Splash screens



I created some splash screens.
They are here on imgur.

Can you make a Lonly III where the Sun and moon orbit 1000km or lower? The moon is likely to be an asteroid.

Lonly III
Rogue planet with a moon and a mini sun.

Here is such a system. Not exactly 1000 km, but approximately.





The sun, of course, illuminates only a small part of the planet.





I have not changed the size of the moon. This is somewhat unrealistic, but looks good.

The moon has a 2 hour orbit, the sun is slightly faster. That is, the day is only about 1h and 45 minutes long.

The pictures shown here are created with SE 0.971. It will probably look slightly different in SE 0.980.

I hope it works properly in SE 0.980.

(Use either the .pak file or the two scripts.)

JackDole, how do make rings cubic ?

Actually just like a cubic planet.



Only with an Oblateness of 0.999



I also use cloud layers because they can be transparent.
Code


DwarfMoon    "Llfawne Ring"
{
    ParentBody  "Llfawne"
    Class       "Asteroid"
    
    Radius      23395
    Mass        0.00016740
    
    Oblateness  0.999
    RotationPeriod  25.83213
    
    Surface
    {
        DiffMap        "Invisible.*"
        DiffMapAlpha    "Transp"
    }
    
    Clouds
    {
        Height          10
        DiffMap        "Ring/ring_diff"
        DiffTileSize    512
        DiffTileBorder  0
        
        BumpMap        "Ring/Bump"
        BumpTileSize    514
        BumpTileBorder  1
        BumpHeight      18456.81838922
        
        DiffMapAlpha    "Transp"
    }
    
    NoAtmosphere        true
    
    Orbit
    {
        Type            "STATIC"
        SemiMajorAxis   1e-6
        Period          1e12
        Eccentricity    0.0
        Inclination     0.0
        RefPlane        "Equator"
    }
}



However, it is still not perfect, and I have not tested it in SE 0.980.

The surface texture 'Invisible.png' is a texture without pixels.

The ring texture must naturally be made transparent, and perhaps made smaller.

How did you create the Europa and Callisto base? I want to make a Moon base and robot buildings on a planet in a system I'm working on[DOT]

Sorry, I was away for a while, because the 'Deutsche Telekom' was hacked.

Check the files in CalistoBase.pak or EuropaBase.pak.
(A .pak file is a renamed .zip file, if you rename a .pak file to a .zip file, you can unpack it.)

The textures are essential. Areas without pixels are transparent or invisible.

I really tried to understand but I can not please make a simplified upgrade with the creation of planets / stars / moons or make a different patch because I can not understand

If you want to make a solar system you need:

1. 'Star' or 'StarBarycenter'

Code

StarBarycenter "Tuto System"
{
    RA      15.254208
    Dec      -15.254208
    Dist    100
}

or this:

Code

Star "Tuto"
{
    RA      15.254208
    Dec      -15.254208
    Dist    100
    
    Class   "G2 V"          // Sol like star
    RadSol  1
    MassSol 1
}

This script belong into 'addons\catalogs\stars'

2. Planets

If you have a 'StarBarycenter' you also needs a 'Star' here.

Code

Star "Tuto"
{
    ParentBody  "Tuto System"
    Class   "G2 V"
    
    RadSol  1
    MassSol 1
    
    StaticPosPolar  (0.0 0.0 0.0)       // This can also be omitted.
}

Also you need a 'Planet':

Code

Planet "Peter"
{
    ParentBody  "Tuto"
    
    Class       "Terra"         // for earth-like planet
    Radius      6500
    
    // If the planet should have life
    Life
    {
        Class   "Organic"
        Type    "Multicellular"
        Biome   "Marine/Terrestrial"
    }
    
    Atmosphere      // Values taken from Earth
    {
        Height      60
        Greenhouse  33
        Pressure    1.0
        Density     1.2929
        Adiabat     0.28
        Model      "Earth"
        Bright      10.0
        Opacity     1.0
        SkyLight    3.0    

        Composition
        {
            N2  71.2757715109
            O2  24.4769489253
            Xe  1.01734186284
            H2O 1.51257699728
            CO2 1.71736070365
        }
    }
    
    Orbit
    {
        SemiMajorAxis       1.0     // AU
        Period              1.0     // 1 Jahr
    }
}

and maybe a 'Moon':

Code

Moon "Paul"
{
    ParentBody  "Peter"
    Class       "Selena"
    
    Radius      3000
    //Mass      ????
    
    Orbit       // This values must be the same for planet and moon - except 'ArgOfPericen'
    {
        RefPlane    "Ecliptic"
        //SemiMajorAxis   ????
        Period          0.0136895        // 5 days orbit = 5/365.24218985
        Inclination     0
        Eccentricity    0
        AscendingNode   0
        ArgOfPericen    180
        MeanAnomaly     0
    }
}

You can write it all in one script or make several scripts, in any case they belong into 'addons\catalogs\planets'

3.
If you want to export a procedural system, you must create a position, this is a 'StarBarycenter' or a 'Star'.
In addition, you have to give names to all objects, numbers do not work. That is not easy.

If you are editing a self created planet (like this system), you only need to replace the orginial object with the exported object.

I can not explain better.
