This lines are information about position of the cameras created with editor in the program. are written by SE

 Also how do you figure out Quat. when (0.70710678 0 -0.70710678 0)

Like before. Quat contains information about orientation of model. They are written by the ship editor of SE
Likewise in the cfg file you can see the information about engine effects created with ship editor.

And how do you manually make a materials library for future reference?

Space Engine use old material like a library: if, in a sml file, you assign to a material the same name of a material contained in an older sml file, SE use the information contained in the oldest file.

You have been a huge help. as soon as I get this down where I know everything and don't sound stupid I am going to make a video for people... my question about camera and qut did you go back and add that to the scc? SE doesn't add to the scc right?
because if it doesn't you would have had to added it to the scc and I am just wandering why to better understand

my question about camera and qut did you go back and add that to the scc? SE doesn't add to the scc right?

scc???? do you mean sss file?
I'm not sure I understood the question...
Anyway... Cameras, orientation of model, size of model, position of model, engine effects and docking ports, these are all things you add and/or change with the editor in game. in Space Engine select your ship and press shift+f2. a window opens on the right side. When you save changes Space Engine automatically update sss file and cfg file, so you do not have to write anything.
For complete information about editor in game you can read the manual, it's the last part, at the bottom of the page

Upon opening SpaceEngine, nothing seems to crash, but instead of getting the system I want... I get a single O0 0 hypergiant with an immense luminosity:
[img]https://image.prntscr.com/image/F1E-DMa ... 5RL-WA.png[/img]
I can't seem to identify the problem via the log file. Is it an outdated script type or just some minor error I must have missed? If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong feel free to tell me

(Alright the script in that thing got screwed up. Wish you could edit replies.)

X2A3Q, for me are working in SE 0980, try using my copy pasted files. If they do work, the issue could be caused by the editor you're using.

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to assign different sprites to different classes of stars to make a mod. Is that possible or am I wasting my time on that one?

I don't really think that's possible, but I may be wrong.

One of the planets in a system I made has procedural rings that I would like to keep. I know I can export surface and cloud textures, but is there any way of exporting procedural rings?

I think that would be pretty neat to do that or have that option. Like some of the very large stars with astroniki some of the smaller dwarfs nostalgia..

Yea that would be really cool, maybe you should post this in the suggestion's . It would also be pretty cool if different lens flares associated with different classes of stars, like  whiter stars have a astroniki lens flare, redder ones with like a duality, and bluer ones with nostalgia, etc. 

Is there a way to convert an sm file back to obj or something usable in an editor if you have deleted your obj. I can find little information on it and I am working on a mod but have run into this problem since sm files seem to be primarily an se type deal, although similar to cmod if I understand correctly. I would like to covert an sm to use in 3dmax or some other editor. any help would be appreciated.

This might be more of a request than actual help but, knowing I am no good in textures yet, I was wondering if anyone would agree to actually make bump/elevation maps for these two old fictional textures of Pluto and Charon? Trying to just turn them in grayscale didn't work well so...
Thank you in advance!

One of the planets in a system I made has procedural rings that I would like to keep. I know I can export surface and cloud textures, but is there any way of exporting procedural rings?

Use the in-game planet editor when you select the planet (shift-F2) and click the "export script" button, the planet's Rings {} parameters will be saved, as well as the other parameters, into a script file. The procedure is also in the online manual.

Unfortunately no, it's a proprietary format that can be used only in one way right now.

Thanks, that makes sense... 
Sipnemap,,, Your bump map deal; if you don't find someone experienced to help, I am currently working on and learning the whole map making process myself. Hopefully you can find someone so you can get what you want done sooner, but if not I may be willing  to help in the near future. I have a pretty big interest in learning to make higher res Earth maps, and localized addons like kluds Grand Canyon. I am about to attempt the 30 meter elevation map upgrade for Earth. I figure if I can master a few of my Earth goals, other planets will become pretty easy. Regardless it is definitely time consuming. I have been looking into the possibility of using Lidar data for resolutions higher than 30 meter.. But I am still learning too.. EVERYTHING LOL.

That exports the general parameters of the rings such as radii and brightness, but not the specific texture of them, such as where the gaps are.
