| Quote JackDole (  ) (This is not a bug. Only extreme parameters. biggrin )
I like extreme parameters, but those are perhaps a little too extreme... :)
I miss some extreme parameters, though. A looong while back, I shot this pic with extreme parameters (I can't remember which ones anymore):
I wish I could replicate it now, with the newer versions of the program. This looks like something alien life could do to a landscape.
I also liked these old nested plateaus.
The point here being: maybe there's programatic reasons for not doing so, but one of the problems of procedural generation in general is that after a while things become repetitive, and one way to reduce that problem would be to add new landscape generation methods while conserving the old ones as (perhaps rare) variations.
Just a thought.
They let me use this!

| I like that idea. I'm still less than ready to do procedural landscapes myself, but if I can get my head around all of it I'd like to do just that in my own games.

| I'm not sure where I should post this, so I'm posting it here.
I found out how to fix the "gas/ice giants are black spheres" bug.
First, export the planet.
Second, open the file and in the Surface tag, you'll find this;
Code ModulateColor (0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000)
Third, replace all the values with this;
Code ModulateColor (1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000)
Without the fix
With the fix
Keep in mind, this is only useful for planets in the "addons" folder, since it's impractical for export EVERY gas and ice giant in the game and changing this stuff.

| I have a bit of a trouble when I try to run SE in 4K or any resolution higher as my native one. As soon as I apply the higher resolution in Window Mode and make any movement or click the camera is just spinning and spinning and I'm unable to control anything. Does anybody else have the same problem?

| I haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet but I'm experiencing quite a few GUI bugs. Actually I believe there is only one bug as all issues seem to be connected to opening and closing of dialogs.
I need to click on a button a few times for it to work.
A little test for frequency of the problem:
Opening "Find Object" dialog by clicking on icon and closing it with "X". Repeated 30 times, counting clicks needed for the expected action to happen.
Clicks needed - count
1 - 35
2 - 13
3 - 6
4 - 3
5 - 0
6 - 0
7 - 3
It does apply only to buttons that do something with dialogs. Example:
"Star browser" - Search, Stop, Clear, Column headers always work. Filter settings, X, Close and Export are problematic.
And Go to is special. It should go to the selected object and close the Star browser dialog. The go to part works always but sometimes the dialog doesn't close.
Similar thing happens to "Universe map". When the map opens the right panel sometimes doesn't show up and sometimes it stays after map is closed.
 
Same with "System chart":
 
Clicking on "Close" does nothing. Sliders and checkboxes crash SE.
Bonus: This bug applies to hotkeys as well.
Possible reason: Dialogs are opened and closed correctly but their visibility is bugged. If I press F3 and the dialog doesn't open then I press e.g. 4 on NumPad and camera doesn't move. Actually, no controls work then. Next if I open it with mouse then I can seen numbers typed in the search box. So the dialog was open but invisible and the search box activates by default so when I press any key it goes into the serach box.

I also think it's a bug.
And there seem to be affected every 'K', 'M' and 'G' main sequence star of the 'HIPPARCOS.csv' catalog. Possibly others main sequence types.
It seems that SE confused the luminosity class when it creates the star size. For example, instead of 'V' SE seems to use 'IV'.
Some more examples:

Patch 8 no longer exists. The current version is SE 0.974 RC3.

This needs to be fixed urgently. This bug with the luminosity class could severely distort the depiction of real-life stars.
The Hipparcos catalog stars need to be depicted as accurately and realistically as possible since they are real objects.

| It would certainly explain why I saw a brown dwarf that was more massive than it's red dwarf companion earlier today. :P

| Just asking, but when will RC4 come out as beta or be released to the public if it is already out?

| So I have been playing around with the new spacecraft content mostly due to the improvements on loading planets. Here are a few bugs I have come across:
*Ship models are always rendered on top of planet surfaces even if part of the model is beneath the surface.
*Planet models are always drawn over ship trajectories and orbits.
*Similarly, the docking rectangles do not get drawn over planets.
*Sometimes ships get drawn over each other in a similar way.
*In lower frame rates, the orbital stats on a ship's stable orbit. The eccentricity continues to increase and this is especially apparent in sped up time. This would make sense if the game accounted for friction in the upper atmosphere but as the frame rate increases, the eccentricity increases more slowly.
edit:
The orbital stats don't change if the radius is increased so it only happens with tight orbits. Nonetheless, if the time scale is turned up too high the orbit suddenly changes from stable to hyperbolic.
