The Planets : Remake [The Laterverse!]

[Legodude77]

Very nice, but maybe could you make the moon craters a little deeper?

Have fun trying to explore the map with a terrible draw distance, then.

Hell yeah. I'd rather not see the edges of the planets. I have maximum draw distance.

You can't see anything other than the moon from the earths position in RL anyway, make it so you start from earth, you can see the moon, and once you get to the moon, you see the next planet, and so-on

also, does this mean new block city will either be post-poned or production on it completely stopped?

personally, I'd be happy to see this map finished before New Block City, we have too many city maps, and Reactor Worker's latest version of The Planets kinda sucks

also, I've got a request, don't just have a solid colored sky, use a .dts for the skys of each planet, size it up, and apply the 6 sides of the skybox to it, have the faces facing in, and apply the NULL texture to the inside of the interiors, so you can make the skybox textures transparent, and see right through to say, the moon on the outside from earth

one more thing, don't just add planets on the solar system, add some uncharted planets beyond it, make it all alien-like :D

I would like a variant of this map where all of the planets are WWAAYYY scaled up to give it that planet feeling. Around 4x scaled up. The distances should be relative too.

You mean like this?

I'm in your thread. Hijacking your thread.

Earth.

Earth.

This was what I did, but the draw distance makes the map not fun to play on.

Block City will be postponed, atm.
This is already the case, I've placed other planets only slightly away from the draw distance, so you only need to float a little more into space to see a planet.

Picture of venus looks like square glass of water. (yes water is square.)

Do you use DTS shapes or interiors for the planets? How did you make them have no collision? Or are the planets solid and you need to teleport inside?

[soba]

This is not the case, refer to his shooting a rocket outside of earth image

They are DTSes, you don't need to teleport inside.

Release it soon please c:

Cool map aph
Build a blocko Mass Relay some distance from Pluto as an easter egg 

[Doomonkey]

Love this.

[Brian Smithers]

Release a beta!

Neat idea. I might add one to my multiple system map. Maybe a Supergate too. Oh the possibilities..
