A decent space map...

[Reactor Worker]

I'm sorry but I can't make the mistake of setting a release date.

All I can say is "Hopefully within a week" but thats a maybe.

I want it to be great, full of content and features.

Thanks for the praise.  :)

Sweet. Ya one or two near planets is good. I love Spacebuild in Gmod and this will be epic! Is there some way to make a brick that will make gravity near it?

Not as far as I know. :(   maybe a trigger?

[Sampapa]

it might be possible to have a wand where you set a physical zone radius and strength to a certin brick...

[Reactor Worker]

I don't think its really neccessary. But if someone makes it then ok. :)

New update:

Saturn and its rings are ingame now. Still needs gravity profile but thats coming soon.

Heres a picture so you can see what is done so far.

Oooooooooohhh... Very nice.

I personally think you should increase the amount of stacks and slices for the planets, and find higher resolution textures.

[Reactor Worker]

The textures were of a higher resolution but in order to use them in BL I had to reduce them to 512x512. As for the added stacks and slices...I think that might lag.

Really, the spheres are just for show and as long as you can tell what planet it is and it looks reasonable, I am happy.

I have no idea why but I will submit to your suggestion. I will release 2 versions of the map. One with the models and textures shown above, and one with those models and textures but with double the resolution. now it has 12 stacks and 24 slices. Ok?

Of course, the map isnt finished yet so its all moot till its done. I'll post a screen of the new 'better' earth shortly.

[Reactor Worker]

Heres a comparison pic of the planetary upgrade I have done with earth. Just shows that the texture and model have been made more detailed so it looks better.

Please note (if you can't tell) that the top image is the old model and texture and the bottom is the new one.

Can hardly wait.

[Reactor Worker]

I know...this is gonna be sweet. :)

UPDATE:

Sun has been added. Its not an emitter, just a model. Not flashy but its not laggy and its gets the job done.

Earth, Mars and Saturn all have their High Resolution counterparts in place. No lag trouble so far.

Jupiter is ready to go ingame.

Your making me want to start a spaceRP server in gmod.

I would join you but the latest update for Gmod screwed up the map and Lifesupport so its not much fun.

BL version will be much better :)
