Im making a star system around 18 Eri, and I was wondering if I could somehow edit the names and textures of the two gas giant exo-planets in the system without directly editing the data in "extrasolar.ssc".

Basically I want all the planets in the system to be in a single .ssc file, so that anyone I send it to wont have to edit "extrasolar.ssc" themselves...

While you can't rename or delete an exoplanet, you can make it not be drawn and then create one of your own. That might be good enough.

Ahh, that works Thanks!

Code: Select all

Modify "b" "EPS Eri"

# put the parameters you want to change here, using normal syntax
}


Just a thought, what does the Replace directive do? And how do I use that?
