Photoshop CS5, but in the cubemap tells me that it needs 4 channels, I'm sure that I'm not doing something fine just I don't know what.

Are you saving the files as JPEGs? Because JPEGs can't have alpha channels. You'll need to use PNG or DDS formats instead.

The only way I can get it to work is to use Sol for one and Sun for the other.

That's weird. For me, this script is enough:

Haumea-2.sc: (4.46 KiB) Downloaded 13 times

To do a conversion from a cylindrical texture to cubemap it has to be in .raw file, or that's what said SpaceEngineer

I think I've solved it, this it's what I'm having in the planetoid folder:

Is there a guide to creating space stations somewhere?

In SpaceEngine, a space station is essentially the same as a spacecraft.
Instructions on how to build a spaceship can be found here: http://spaceengine.org/manual/making-ad ... ng-a-ship/

You only need one stationary orbit for a space station. A script like this is enough:

// Spacestation

Object "My First Spacestation"
{
    Type           "Spacecraft"
    Model          "spacecraft/addons/MyStations/MySpaceStation.sss"
    ParentBody     "Earth"
    
    RotationPeriod  0.00788565
    RotationOffset  0
    
    Obliquity       0
    EqAscendNode    0
    
    Orbit
    {
        RefPlane "Equator"
        SemiMajorAxisKm 7378.14
        PeriodDays 0.07292
        Inclination 30
        Eccentricity 0 
        AscendingNode 0 
        MeanAnomaly 0 
        ArgOfPericenter 0.0
    }
}

This script belongs in the 'addons\catalogs\planets' folder.
