| Are there more options available in the planet editor, such as the presence/lack thereof of life, colors, etc? All I can find are terrain options.

| You cannot edit colors with the editor interface. You can manually edit the colors in the script once you export it however.

| Well, the editor works, and I can select and edit a planet's surface, but the problem is the following: I wanted to create a black selena, so I looked for one and I started editing the craters, mares and things like that, and lowered the exposure to have a black surface.
Everything was fine until I exported it. I changed the first parameters to set its name and the star it orbits, and when I searched it in-game, it was totally different than the one I was seeing in the editor 
So maybe I changed some parameters that I didn't have to change or maybe it messed up when I tried to change its mass (I wanted to make a planet with 30 times the Earth's density), or I don't know what happened

| You cannot "save" a procedural object for a procedural star (named RS xxx-xxx-...). The only way to use the editor - is making a custom planetary system and edit its objects. After exporting the body's script, you should find it in the cache/export, copy its content and replace with it your custom body's script in data/catalogs/planets.

| So I must create all my fictional system with each type of planets, then edit it and save the scripts, OK. But one question, can you edit all the bodies on a system and then export the system, or you must export each planet when you edit it (I mean; edit the 1st planet, export it, then edit the 2nd, etc) ?

| After edit, you may close the editor and go to main menu -> editor -> export system. Or just press export button in the editor and tick the "export all system" checkbox if I include in the release (I can't remember and can't see it now, sorry).

| hi
i wonder, is there a solution or a way to smooth the editor's sliders ?
i want to set a particular rotation period for a planet and cannot : it slides from 0 to 0.7 directly, how can I set a 4h rotation period elsewhere than in editing a special cfg file for a particular planet ?
thnks

| Click to the value printing and you will be able to edit it with keyboard.

| thx
i tried but i obviosly clicked the wrong way, now it's working, but results are not what i expected.
when i look at the sky, nothing's rotating as on earth, whatever plant i choose, when i increase the time. i dunno why, but well, there's another slider to rotate the planet so it's ok ^^

| Maybe I will remove most silders, coz they are not uncomfortably controls. Especially for size, mass and other parameters that may change in a wide range. Simple edit box will be more useful than slider. Or something like controller in Fruity Loops, like joystick. I.e. then you shift slider right, the value start increasing, and more you shift the silder, more faster value will increase.

I agree, that would probably be best. Sliders are more useful for setting the procedural generation values.

| I will maybe make real-time update of textures, but with some limitations. I.e. engine will update only a few textures per frame and only those that are already loaded. Maybe the camera controls will be blocked until all is being updated. This BTW will be a performance test - maybe mainstream PC's can handle dynamic update of a planet, so I will be able to implement dynamic clouds and climate effects on surface textures, or even terramorphing.

| Hi all, I have a problem with craterDensity.
I wrote at script:
Code craterDensity 0.1111111
But in-game shows:
(no craters obviously)
(Ops, and the value of cracksOctaves looks very buggish, too :S)
I tried changing the craterDensity value, but it always comes down to 0 in-game.
Any ideas?

| You should use 10-14 crater octaves to be able to see small craters. Just export some selena and look at its code.

| Thks for the reply, but I think that I didn't explain well...
At script I write: craterDensity 0.1111111 but ingame appears: craterDensity 0.000 (u can see previous img)
Therefore, no craters are created. None. It isn't problem of a low value at craterOctaves.
If ingame I move the slider to craterDensity 0.111, appears one large crater (which is what I want).
My question is, why the value given at script disappears? :S
