General questions about SpaceEngine

I talking about the game, where user movements will be limited to ships. It's a logical thing what player's knowledge about Universe will be limited by only discovered planets, isn't it?

Maybe a limited version of the star browser could be a nice ship upgrade. You could be able to upgrade radius, how dim stars you can find, how much power it takes to use, and more (assuming the game has a upgrade system) but it should not be very effective.

I created a thread and uploadad all old versions on google drive:

This is really great. More than I hoped for. Thank you very much and keep up the great work. Once I become a daily user, I will surely donate to the program's development.

Is there something wrong with making stars? I've followed the directions, and I couldn't get the star systems to work. I also tried making the star names single words (since that probably could be a problem), but that still didn't work.

I'm afraid you'll have to share more details regarding what you did and what you want to achieve, maybe a look at the scripts you wrote could reveal some clue about the issue.

IS Space Engine a game engine (eventually) for game developers to make their own space games in the future? If so what's the licensing condition?

Also can you have "super structures"? I think that would be a great idea to have buildings such as space elevators or dyson spheres or huge muschroom shaped floating cities (Empire Strikes Back).

Space Engine aims for realism, and unless we find one, there probably won't be super-structures generated in the game.

Actually it's in the TODO list, if you count "Giant alien astroengineering constructions" as "super structures".

I have a question about Wallpaper engine , can I use Space engine to create files on the Workshop? I would not want to have a copyright problem.

First of all, thanks for the free beta access, I'm loving to explore the universe with SE!

I have a question, can I disable fictional planets or any other content in the SE that is not scientifically confirmed?
I went to Proxima Centauri in my SE (version 0.9.8.0) and the system shows 8 planets, one of them even with life hehe...(It's also missing "Proxima Centauri b", which is a confirmed planet.)

There is an option to disable all theoterical/fictional objects?

Sure, press F4 and choose what you want to see.

I'm having trouble with some settings not saving. I even tried to set the config file to read only but it stills resets in SE.

- Comet Tail Brightness
- Ambient Lighting

Any idea how to solve?

Config file should be rewritten in any case I guess. Could you please attach your se.log file which is located in your SpaceEngine/system/ folder?

Here is the log.
My username is also not saving (always goes back to "Player"), several other settings I tried are saving normally.

Roninsan,
not all settings are saved. For example, 'Ambient lighting' is not saved.
Other settings, such as 'Objects apparent size limit', are also not saved, but can be changed manually in the 'main-user.cfg'.

The problem with the usernames is solved in the next version.
