StarSystems

from Sins Forums

So, Tkins and I have this mod idea, where instead of there being 10+ planets around a single star, each planet becomes a 'star'. Each 'star' would act just like a planet with a few minor differences. So, basically you go from star system to star system, instead of planet to planet.

Our only problem: Neither of us have the knowledge nor ability to shrink the planet meshes down to the size necessary to make this idea feasible, and looking good.

Does anyone know of an easy way to shrink a mesh, or would anyone be kind enough to do this?

Hey jozanman22, check out this thread:

He mades a note of the tool at the link:

Once downloaded, extract the folder, "resize_085".

This tool is sweet.  It allows you to shink or increase the size of meshes.  The meshes cannot be in there binary format, they need to be converted to the Text format.  You'll want to read, GoaFan77 notes (availble on the thread posted above), for more details.

Good luck with your modding.
