White dwarfs doesn't have gravitational lensing in 0.9.8.0 and it's not a bug.

When I originally said that it is not shown in 0.9.8.0 I was wrong. The effect is there, it's just very weak, so to see it you must zoom to a very small FOV:

Watsisname, I may be mistaken but I think that lensing changing with the fov is a limitation of how it is rendered in game. If you have a low enough FOV you could see the black part of the black hole being rendered underneath, at least that is how it was in previous builds. Black holes also look a bit bugged out as you adjust the FOV too much in one way or the other.

I have a couple questions:
1 - Has anyone got the downloads for the Star Wars things? I've seen the Death Star, Star Destroyers and Rebel Ships, however all download links have lead me to the dead en.spaceengine site. Has anyone got them second hand? i wouldn't mind learning to manually-update them if I must.

2 - Is there a tutorial on how to create a custom textured planet with working water, clouds and such? Again, all information was lost with the en.spaceengine site. Any help appreciated. Just message me or reply with info.

(Posting here because I cannot seem to be allowed to post a new Thread currently)

trini_gamer, I found these downloads; http://forum.spaceengine.org/viewtopic. ... wars#p5045

Also, can someone link another download for Rodrigo's Terrain Mod?

trini_gamer, informations about modding are grouped under the http://spaceengine.org/manual/ section of the website.

Ah alright, still looking for the files though. Thanks for the link a lot though.

I'm planning on an addon where I change potentially habitable exoplanets to match their "authors illustrations", while also getting them to their predicted ESI. My question is how would I lower the ESI of this planet? I know that changing the radius, mass, and temperature influences the ESI, but how do I get it so that it matches the predicted ESI while still having it be somewhat plausible? (ei. density isn't ridiculously high/low)

It comes out as 0.73, but it's actual ESI is 0.67.

First time I did to create the new colors for the gasgiant, but I want to make "Negative jupiter" (Dark blue and white) with the planet palette. But my planet turn into the green fluo instead of "Negative Jupiter". How can I master these colors?

I test with red, alway Green fluo I need you help now.

I am having trouble with my Binary Black Hole. Shows up in the catalogue list in-game, but does not show name of barycenter in the parents list, and SE cannot find them. What's wrong?

Because lack of post editor:

You have wrong quotes for the name and for the class in your 'StarBarycenter'.
It is:

StarBarycenter    “Black Whirl”
{

RA       19 50 18  // right ascension
Dec      28 18 47  // declination
Dist     42.4242   // distance from the Sun
Class   “X”        // spectral class – black hole
Lum      275       // luminosity of the whole system (accretion disk)

}

And it must be:

StarBarycenter    "Black Whirl"
{
    RA       19 50 18  // right ascension
    Dec      28 18 47  // declination
    Dist     42.4242   // distance from the Sun
    Class   "X"        // spectral class – black hole
    Lum      275       // luminosity of the whole system (accretion disk)
}

I'm having trouble making sense of the creating a new star documentation.

I've done everything, but I have a problem where I Find the planet in the search in SE but when I try to go to it, it says no such object exists.
I think that the problem is that the star is not going into SE. I have the star defined in the addons\catalogs\mystars.sc file but I have no idea how come it won't load up.

greenhand, can you please share the mod you made that is not working?
