Re: General suggestions for SpaceEngine

SpaceEngine code uses OpenGL graphics API, which has been abandoned by Apple since a while, and as far as I know Apple Game Porting Toolkit is a way to bridge Apple's new proprietary graphics API, Metal, to games using Microsoft DirectX graphics API, which is not useful for SE. A code rewrite is in ...

Re: Help with creating Mods and Addons

Yo how do you make (not edit) galaxy textures? I really want to create my own galaxies with my own textures
The manual has a section explaining how to treat textures for that

Re: Artist Rendition-Accurate Exoplanets

Can you take an artist rendition and put in on a planet in Space Engine? i have since learnt that its unfortunately not possible to apply custom textures to planets, you just have to rely on the procedural generation. oh well, maybe thats something for 1.0 and later versions Well that sucks. I stil...

Re: Obscure commands that do seemingly nothing

Hi, Is it possible to change the current date and time in SE? The always load in year 2518. I'd like to set the current date the same as my computer at startup and be able to set whatever the date I want. It should be interesting to do so for season exploring of the solar system or whatever else. I...

Re: Video settings and recording

By using SpaceEngine in windowed mode, users can customize window pixels width and height, whose borders can be rendered off screen. This allows to people having only fullHD displays to capture higher resolutions. This is only limited by the available VRAM of the graphics card.

Re: Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990

0.990.45.1940 is not available to opt in as far as I know. What we can't know is what really happened because the se.log doesn't contain useful info about your hardware, graphics drivers and other possible issues. What I see from what you posted is that you did have already issues back in April with...

Re: Custom star in custom galaxy appearing in the center or outside of the galaxy

As far as I know, they all suffer from the same precision issue, and the stars "jump" around their assigned position, even considering that Andromeda galaxy, for example, is less than 800 kiloparsec from Earth. I should have been more precise. You *can* place a star at 9 million parsec. Bu...

Re: Custom star in custom galaxy appearing in the center or outside of the galaxy

With the current engine, there's a limit due to precision calculations on how far outside from the Milky Way a star can be placed. Farthest distance without incurring in stars "jumping" around their scripted position, and generally not being in their intended positions, is the distance of ...

Re: Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990

As I surmised, there is no current se.log file, the one in that folder is from the last time SE ran correctly for me, which was on 4-29-2023 Here is the header and version number-- ever since the update things have gone haywire and it says Steam isn't running (even though it is.) Is this the entire...

Re: General questions about SpaceEngine

Hello, I'm new to Space Engine and really like it so far. I have a question about customizing celestial grids.   How do I customize the grids to change their (a) color, and (b) transparency please?
