Reply to RELEASE: Texture Pack I - Stars and Planets in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hey, good work! Question for you - I've been working on changing aspects of the default textures in the game (color / hue mostly) and I'm using photoshop with the nvidia plugin to do it. Except... I think I'm doing something wrong. I haven't tested the new textures in game yet, but I have noticed that the textures that I end up creating are about half the size (2.3mb each vs 5.6mb each) of most of the un-modified textures. I'm saving the new textures with the default options that the nv

Ohhhhhh that makes my life so much easier! Where can I find this nvidia dds plugin you speak of?

What programs open .mesh files? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So... I'm trying very hard to figure out how to make planets with different colors than the standard. I can't seem to find any texture files for the planets in the game info, which leads me to believe that they are somehow in the .mesh planet files.... I've never worked with .mesh files before and don't know what programs are used to open/edit them... So I'm wondering two things: 1. What programs can be used to view / open / modify / what not .mesh files? 2. Is it poss

[quote] Nice work man! Do you have any idea on how to alter the color (or make new colors) for the planets? I'm sure there are texture files for the planets but have not looked into it myself yet. [/quote] Yeah that's what I've been trying to locate... the texture files. So far I've only found the .mesh files... are the texture files in those? I don't know... even if they were in there, I wouldn't know

Planet Colors? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi everyone. Is there a way to change the colors of planets that are used in my map? For instance, can I create a yellow ice planet? Or a blue gas giant? I don't want all gas giants to be blue or all ice planets to be yellow, I just want to be able to choose that type of thing where appropriate. I read the pdf included with the new mod tools and while informative, I didn't quite understand what it was saying... Also, is there a way to give planets rings? (ala saturn)

Couple of really simple modding questions in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi all... so I'm loving the game and am just getting into the idea of making some mods for it. I have a mod idea kicking around in my brain but before I get started on it I was wondering a few basic things about galaxy construction... 1. Afaik, Gas giant style planets do exist in galaxy forge. I would assume that planets set with attributes like gas giants are not colonizeable (as such a thing wouldn't really make sense) but is it possible for a player faction to claim them in anyway, a
