OHM 2122: ATUM SYSTEM

[Cizurator]

Ok now it works fine, its a really nice system.
But your addon overwrites the "Star.dds"! You have to warn the user before!
I find this star-texture mutch better:
Another Sun Texture v2

The star texture i made is a little bit red, becuase Barnard's star is a red dwarf.

About rewriting the texture: If i name that texture "Atum.dds", shall it work, too? Is the texture name associated with name of the cfg file of a star?:hmm:

 

[T.Neo]

I don't know- is there any way of having a custom star texture in place?

It would be very helpful for my own Gliese 581 system.

Nice addon,
Tried to add the UCGOArrow to the scenario but when I change cockpit views using F1,F8 the Arrows cockpit becomes very large so you have trouble seing what is happening. I don't know if this is screen size changing ? Also added the DGIV-2 and it seems to flip over and crash when taking off from Shai. Anyway I will try some more.

 

[Ghostrider]

It's probably the FOV set at 20. Set it to 50 and it will work.

 

[Cizurator]

Shai should have no problems with atmosphere. It is modified earth's air...

And if anyone have tried to visit Seo'e, you encountered with too big mass of it - very fast orbiting around a small object etc. I repaired it today. It should be more realistic now. Update is available. (at least count of downloads mabye raises after this message

I think this happens on Earth, too, doesn't it? Spacecrafts with aerodynamics flip over while VTOL without forward thrust becuase the spacecraft is trying to turn the nose up as it raises through the air.

Maybe you should use your main engines to give it more forward speed and stability...

Thanks for the tip, could you tell me what FOV is please, sorry for my lack of knowldge:blush:

ye,s I tried that and it works fine now... just my bad flying:lol:
Great Addon by the way:thumbup:

 

[Cizurator]

Thanks....

4 EVERYBODY:

I'VE EDITED IT AGAIN - HOPEFULY FOR THE LAST TIME. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST WHAT ATUM CAN OFFER, PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD THE ATUM SYSTEM ADDON.

THANKS AND SORRY:edit:

FOV = Field of View. Key Y will reduce it, key X will increase it. The FOV value is displayed in the top right of the screen. Hit X until it reads 50.

 

[Donamy]

However, you should know your name is at least written in credits and addon info of the Atum project...

That's fine with me ! Nice to see it getting more life.

I have a 3D sphere that made Gliese 581 look like a red dwarf in my version. You might need to resize it to fit the star though.

Thanks, thanks, thanks !!!:thankyou:

hmm... 3d sphere? Is it the same type of "star" like the one used in Star Wars Universe ? (just a yellow ball)

I didn't like that one. It looked like a huge tennis ball orbiting the star... :huh:

No, it's more closely related to 3D sun.

 

[kevinvr]

Downloded that last fix. Everything works perfectly now for me. I got the Arrow and DGIV-2 landed and built a small UCGO Base on Shai , thanks for the updates and the help ... very nice system, Can't wait to do some more exploring after work tomorrow

 

[Cizurator]

Thanks. It's great to hear positive feedback.
I think you'll like it. Specially the Thu'wy sub-system is full of beautiful mysteries. For example: shepherd moons inside the planet's rings.

And maybe not only Shai is somehow habitable...


I'm working on a big station on Shai now. It will have some terrain, foliage, I'm waiting for permission of developers now to publish edited parts of their work...

Hmmm.... you mean this one?

http://www.orbithangar.com/addonpics/sunrise.JPG

this one is better i think. But the surface itself should be white. It's covered by corona, which is too bright to see yellowish colour with your own eyes.
I know, the spectral class of the sun tells that this colour is correct, but look into the sun and what you'll see is just strong, blinding, white shining.

Yes, and I made a custum texture that is red for an M star. (I also have textures for A and B class stars. Used in my Xexina and Neutron star system add-ons)

I received a polite message from Cizurator re: the use of Deepstar.

I'm very happy now to see the modified Deepstar included in this addon.

In case my initial tone sounded petty, it was just a bit jarring for me to click on the orbithanger image and see my addon looking different to how I'd intended, and to not know anything about it in advance.

Congratulations on creating a great first addon Cizurator! I hope to see you make many more.

Edit: I see this is not Cizurator's first addon. Good work, keep it up.

 

[Cizurator]

Thanks, 80mileshigh!!

Now I'm working on several great bases on the surface of Shai. It will include modified Cygnus VTOL aircraft by Kew Shanow, but I still can't find a way to ask him !!!
Hmmm... Includes no copyright... no contact...

Nice!!!

This is one of my favoret systems to explore. Especially the new mountains you put on Shai.:thumbup:

It has been updated today. If you want to have the best Shai can offer, download the updated mountains. I've repaired the elevation of Paititi, sea level and position of New Cadiz. And now I've started to work on a Tana'tu village of native inhabitants.

But the next week I'll have to slow down, because my holidays will be over...

Check this movie:

I made it with Atum system and Paititi base.
I hope you'll like it.

Very, very, very nice movie!!!!

It seems quite similar to the start of Avatar - in a really good way! Personally I'd recommend tagging it as Avatar on YouTube - you might get more views
