Old thread from the old forum.
To install palette.cfg's that have been posted on this thread, go into your Addons folder. If the "textures" folder inside does not exist, create it. Now go into that, and create a folder named "common", if it does not exist. The palette.cfg will go into that folder. So in the end, the file structure/location looks like this: "<spaceengine>\addons\textures\common\pallete.cfg".
Anyways, here my modified version of a huge palette.cfg compiled by Toty on the old forum. I tried to remove duplicates from each planet class, but if you spot one feel free to post about it here or upload your fix. (Personal preference, I don't mind three different planet classes using the same color palette, but several duplicates for one planet class is what I aimed to remove. )
Finally, share your creations!
Once you share your creations, I will add a direct link to your post to this OP for better visibility. Let me know if I missed yours!

[hr] I highly recommend using the Planet Palettes utility, created by SolarLiner, found here (Important: Click on the 2nd download link, the one that says "Planets Palette v0.972 Windows", NOT the "click once installer" thingy!) which I've uploaded below. (EDIT: Apparently the original download links stopped working cuz M$ got greedy.) However it was designed for 0.971/0.972, with 0.971's folder structure. But I manually created a SpaceEngine 0.98>textures>common directory, and SpaceEngine doesn't crash (for me anyway) since it won't try to read a textures folder in the root SE folder. (Note: The software requires .NET Framework 4.0, available here.)
Another drawback to the utility is that "StyleRange" only goes to two places past the decimal point ("StyleRange (0.91, 0.93)", for example), so if you see multiple StyleRanges displaying (0.10, 0.10), just add a 5 to the end of the second number, and then add another 5 to the end of the first number on the next StyleRange, like so:
Code: Select all
// Planet Color Example 1
Palette
{
...
StyleRange (0.10, 0.10)
...
}
// Planet Color Example 2
Palette
{
...
StyleRange (0.10, 0.11)
...
}
Code: Select all
// Planet Color Example 1
Palette
{
...
StyleRange (0.10, 0.105)
...
}
// Planet Color Example 2
Palette
{
...
StyleRange (0.105, 0.11)
...
}
