Yeah, that's about how I want it to look. I'm wondering if there is some Dell card issue or something.

Could all those warnings mean some of the layers aren't being activated on the Dell....?

….and what does it mean when they are running on the hardware instead of whatever way it
was expecting to run?

I'm wondering if there is some Dell card issue or something.

It might have something to do with the fact that you still use an old Windows version. (Windows XP?) As a result, your video driver version is also quite old. (Do you have the latest driver version available for your video card?) Maybe this could be the reason that some things are not what they should be.

I made sure to do all the updates towards the end of Microsoft's service period before they discontinued support for XP back in Apr 2014.

Before I downloaded SE, I saw in the requirements list that It would run on XP. If there are other caviots for it running on XP or on my Dell Vostro machine, then I'm hoping some eagle eyed expert on this site might catch it and steer me in the right direction if need be.

I've posted the start-up SE.log files in previous posts here for the Dell.

This Dell was disconnected from the internet back in 2014, and since, just used as an off-line work projects machine for such things like Blender, and custom stuff. I've kept it on XP because several of my older programs run really well on it but have problems on newer OS's.

I am trying to make a nebula but it just doesn't show up, even with textures.

Post your scripts. Both scripts. That in 'addons\catalogs\nebulae' and that in 'addons\models\nebulae'.
(If you do not have your scripts in these folders, then that would be already an error.)

I'd check your .sss files for correct paths. May we see your .sss file? Use https://pastebin.com/ to post your file, and give us here the address of the file.

Here goes the .sss file
I really hope the problem is just a coding error i made
thanks for answering
also i dont know why the weird tags with the font name appeared inside the post (yeah, i am like super newbie)

i also place the .sss text over here as it is not too long (its only one module)

Blue holes in my oceans

I make custom planets in SE, but I keep getting these curious dark blue patches
 in the oceans and it ruins the overall realistic look that they would otherwise have.

I do not want them there and need to know how to get rid of them.

They are visible in the previous pictures I have already posted of my custom planet.



The scripts have also already been posted.



Thanks,

Those are called Mares. Setting mareDensity and mareFreq to 0 might help.

John Savior, your path is incorrect. The path should be relative to .../models/spacecraft/ so your path should be "StandardTurret/standardturret.cfg". You must also use forward slash and not backslash.

I don't know how to post my large file. Also I am making a ring of objects, but the last object always goes faster than the rest.

That's a known bug.

Maybe you could just post the affected object. And one of the others.

HarbingerDawn thanks for replying (you are awesome, by the way) i fixed that as well but i believe the problem is in the export, i must be doing things in a way SE cant read the .obj because error keeps coming, i will give it a try another time when i have learned a little bit more.
