Any mods that increase planet/star size?

May 31, 2008 3:10:14 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

    One thing that bugs me is that capital ships look like they're the size of Texas when compared next to a planet.  I'd like to change things a little and increase the size of planets and stars to a more "bigger" level.  Does anyone know what files I would have to edit?  Would I need another program to redo the textures so they fit/look properly?  Does anyone know of any mods out there that already do this? Thanks:)

Your best bet is to, if you have 3DMax, use the unofficial import/export script available through these forums to export the mesh of a planet, resize it and then import it back. This should save all relevant texture mapping data.

Making a new mesh and mapping it has some issues (the textures get messed up, you end up with a softly glowing indistinguishable blue surface on the planet).

Isn't there a Real Solar System mod that had proper sizes for the planets in THIS solar system???


You could replace the SINS meshes with those meshes, but keep the regular SINS planet textures...
