PlutonianEmpire, your mod is getting awesomer and awesomer, I installed it nearly, only but the readme says ''this *will* reset your catalog galaxy seeds! Write down the first digits of your bookmarks (RS xxxx-, for example)'' I don't quite get it. Does the mod resets the designations of procedural objects only, or is the original procedural catalog wholly revamped? Why writing the 1st digits of my book marks keep my destinations? Looking forward to an explanation.

Procedural galaxies are mostly fine. It is the catalog galaxies such as the Milky Way, Andromeda, Whirlpool, etc that will have number resets.

If I backupped the original catalog file catalogs0980.pak and restored it after I installed your mod, will the mod still work with the numbers intact? :idea:

Nope. SpaceEngine unfortunately does not work like that. It's one of those hard-coded limitations of the Engine. :/

Edit: The only way to keep the numbers intact using my mod is to delete the extra galaxy I included.

I extracted and placed the files in the addon but nothing from TPE is rendering. am I doing something wrong?

No, I did.

I made a rookie mistake, I had an extra level to the file structure within the pak file that shouldn't be there. Thank you for catching it!

Here's the fix: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1C6R ... lh4dEJfNFE

Hope it works now, it seemed to just fine in my clean version of SE 0.980

Hmmm, the PAK is still not working. I got it to work by just converting to ZIP and placing the folders within in addons, but its a little buggy that way.

Nevermind, I saved to wrong folder. XD
it looks awesome. thanks

Good to know! Also, did change the zips back to pak when putting them in the right folder? Its generally discouraged to tweak pak files, as tweaking them has been known to mess things up.

ran into another issue with TPE.
Some planets like Proxima B are "Ghosting" they aren't rendering properly and w/ atmospheres off, they disappear completely. its causing the same problem with other mods too.

EDIT: I double checked on a clean version on SE, and indeed there's an issue with my mod, which I can't figure out. I posted about it here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=116&p=11715#p11715

Thank you for bringing this up!

Do you have an Intel graphics card? Then this could be the problem. I also have this occasionally.

JackDole, I'm not entirely sure what graphics card I have. but I don't think its my graphics card is the problem because all other add-ons I have work fine without TPE add-on, but once I install TPE, not just TPE planets are ghosting but so are planets from other add-ons. it only happens after I install TPE.

JediTrekkie,open up the Windows search and type in DxDiag, look under the display tab, should be here

FWIW, I myself am on Intel HD 4400, with the latest Drivers.

Now that I think about it, I actually remember this. Something similar happened to some people on the old forum when trying to use the Star Wars and/or Star Trek mods together.

EDIT: I think I have it figured out. Apparently, Space Engine really, really, *really* does not like craters being activated on Terras. I disabled the craters on Proxima B, and the planet showed up on my Clean SE. I'll re-upload the TPE if the attached proxima.sc file works for JediTrekkie.

I have two teasers for my next TPE update, which will involve multiple phases of the Sol System's evolution over the course of 51,200 years:

JediTrekkie, did my proxima.sc file from my previous post work for you?
