Help Planet/Star

I just cant seem to figure this out on my own. I simply want to replace a planet with a brown dwarf star with the exact same orbit, but those dang stc files are driving me insane. Here's the ssc file for the planet:

"Nibiru" "Sol"
{
Radius 24000
Color [ 0.1 0 0 ]
SpecularColor [ 0.1 0 0 ]
SpecularPower 1.0

EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 3600
SemiMajorAxis 235
Inclination -145
AscendingNode 194.5
Eccentricity 0.9917
ArgOfPericenter 270
MeanAnomaly 220.0
Epoch 2452028.18381755
}

Albedo 0.01
}

I know there's somebody out there that can do this in like 5 minutes, but after 5 hours of trying I've gone cross-eyed so any Help would be greatly appreciated.

1. fake it: brown dwarfs don't give off much light, so just make your planet look like a brown star

Code: Select all

Texture="browndwarf.*"


2. STC file

Code: Select all

"Nibiru"
{
OrbitBarycenter "Sol"
SpectralType "T1V"
AbsMag 24
Radius 80000

EllipticalOrbit
{
Period 3600
SemiMajorAxis 235
Inclination -145
AscendingNode 194.5
Eccentricity 0.9917
ArgOfPericenter 270
MeanAnomaly 220.0
Epoch 2452028.18381755
}

}
