Editing an already existing planet

24 Aug 2017 03:37

We all know that the planet editor doesn't save any changes you did on a planet after leaving SE.

I want to edit Jupiter. So I did my thing with the Planet Editor and edited Jupiter to my ease. Then I exported the script.

Now I have the script and so eventually put it in addons/catalogs/planets.

But what happened was that when I open SE, instead of editing Jupiter... it added another one (which was the script) and the real one is still there.

So now I removed the script from addons/catalogs/planets... I don't know what to do now. How can I just edit the planet instead of adding another moonless Jupiter?

Add this in first :
Remove "Jupiter" { ParentBody "Sol" }

If the planet name and it's ParentBody are the same as in the SolarSys.sc catalog, SE should merge your mew planet script with the old one, i.e. update duplicated values and add newly provided ones.

Ok for some reason, my game has stopped merging my two jupiters, and now renders them as separate planets. Yet, using remove also kills the 60-something dwarf moons instead of letting transfer to the new Jupiter :S

Whats going on? ;_;

PlutonianEmpire, what's the name of the file your Jupiter is in?

And what is this for an addon? 'Jupiter-surface bump BJ 14k-0980-Compact.pak'.
It contains a file named 'Jupiter.sc'. If that is not your Jupiter, this file may cause duplication of Jupiter.

My Jupiter is in Addons>tpe>catalogs>planets>TPE_Sol_2301AD.sc

The other Jupiter was a mod I got from either here or the SE discord or the SE addons discord, and to try to resolve load order issues, I put it in my addons>SolarSysHD folder after generating the SE.log I posted, no luck

If you do not want a '.pak' file to be loaded, you must either completely remove it from the 'addons' folder (it is best to remove the file completely from the SpaceEngine folder) or rename it. I myself always call it '.nopak'.

That is, a '.pak' file is always loaded when it is inside the 'addons' folder, no matter which subfolder. More precisely, this second 'Jupiter.sc' file is still loaded, even if the '.pak' file is in the 'SolarSysHD' folder. (At least that is the case with 'SE 0.980_e'.)
