| It might be nice to have something akin to an "official modding questions" thread, and I wouldn't mind this one becoming that, but I'm just starting and I'd rather not spam other threads with questions of what I'm doing wrong or how I can make/do something specific when it's not so obvious.
Anyway, as for my first question, why is an Earthlike planet I'm making having the aurora so close together? This is it right now:
if the code for the planet is this?;
Code
Planet "Terra Nova/Kizo Terra/CoDE Homeworld/Duo-Terra/Earth II"
{
ParentBody "Kizo Duosu/Sol 2"
Class "Terra"
Mass 0.882
Radius 5830
RotationPeriod 46.7
RotationOffset -75
Precession 500000
Obliquity 21.3
EqAscendNode 39.1
Albedo 0.60
AlbedoBond 0.60
AlbedoGeom 0.72
Brightness 1.80
NoLava true
NoRings true
NoCometTail true
Life
{
Class "Organic"
Type "Multicellular"
Biome "Marine/Terrestrial"
}
Surface
{
}
Atmosphere
{
Height 63.8 // km
Greenhouse 80.2 // degrees K
Pressure 1.021153985 // atm
Model "Earth"
Bright 11
Opacity 1.0
SkyLight 3.02
Composition // values in percent
{
N2 77.7729
O2 20.8625
Ne 0.9303
H2O 0.4000
CO2 0.0146
}
}
Clouds
{
Coverage 0.687
}
Orbit
{
RefPlane "Ecliptic"
Period 0.467
SemiMajorAxis 0.561
Eccentricity 0.001844
Inclination 0.674
AscendingNode 347
LongOfPericen 0
MeanLongitude 273
}
}
Also, is there a way to control the amount of ocean on the planet?
Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.

| You can modify the Auroras position with "NortLat" "NortLon" and "SouthLat "SouthLon"
And yes, you can control the amount of water with the option "sea level" in Surface. 
Sorry for my English)

| It worked for the aurora but I can't seem to get the sea level to work...No matter what values I put in the code, it doesn't seem to change...

As far as I know, the parameter 'seaLevel' is obsolete, and no longer has any function.
The sea level is controlled by the 'Height' parameter in the 'Ocean' tag.
Code
Ocean
{
Height 14.1095
Hapke 0
SpotBright 2
SpotWidth 0.15
DayAmbient 2
}
Don't forget to look here.

If you open up a planet in the in-game editor, you will see a Sealevel slider. Drag the slider to the right to get a higher sea level. You can also control the amount of water coverage on a terra using the randomise Z slider. The more left the slider is, the more land there is.
However, using the randomise z tag isn't very effective for most of the time.

Thank you, this works for me.

| Does anyone know why some vessel meshes disappear at different camera angles? I have two that are doing this in both cockpit and external views. Model and textures seem to be working fine otherwise.
