[Request[ Searching for a small (realistic) Moon

01-14-07, 08:08 PM

Hi all,
Im searching for a smaller, more realistic Moon. I dont like this "300m away" Moon, it frightens me every night in SH3!

Did not found anything on the Net. Could anyone help me?!?
Thx

I agree, the GWX moon is huuuuge, especially with the new camera.

Ail's hi res moon mod has a small moon option. It's not JSGME compatible, you need to rename the file and put it in the texture folder manually like it says in the readme.

Here ya go: http://s19.quicksharing.com/v/7247302/ail_hi_res_moon_v2.5_mod.rar.html

Apropos the moon...

I noticed a star inside the crescent of the moon the other day, which is of course a physical impossibility. I'm going to see if it's possible to make the moon opaque.

Everyone is sure picky.

That's why I'm taking SO much time on the Barrage Balloons
and Air Ship Mods!

Heaven forbid I don't get those right!

I hate the enormous moon as well, I used to have ails smaller moon and it's great, but when the 16k atmospheric mod was first released I came under the impression that this moon wasn't compatible with it. Does anyone know for sure?

You mean to say you don't have plans for the moon to be viewable through the middle of your ballons

Just open scene.dat with minitweaker, and select SkyObjRadius in the pulldown menu, and change the moon radius there.

I guess that this approach isn't correct Ref. That radius refer to the sky radius position for each astro not the astro radius itself: the moon comes first , then the sun and for last the stars. The size of the moon (or the sun) is really related with it's tga.

Where is the Moon.tga located?:hmm:

And I assume you could place any graphic there and have it replace the moon?

That's no moon that's a .........:rotfl:

Boris · 01-15-07, 11:40 AM

Well if its the tga, the small moon in the link I posted above works fine.

You're right, I've misinterpreted the data

The correct size is the same that the sun.

both have the same radius in astronomy, about 30 minutes .

Boris · 01-15-07, 07:59 PM

which is why eclipses happen to work so nicely.

Darkseed · 01-23-07, 11:45 PM

Have anyone gotten this to work? There are no textures at all in the tex folder, and putting the new moon.tga in there doesn't seem to replace the GWX moon.

Matyas · 01-24-07, 07:50 AM

Yes, I agree, the moon is bigger in GWX than it should be. However, I have a more serious problem with it: in my game I noticed that the moon doesn't change its phase! It has been reversed "D" shape (so in theory it's waning) for a week or so. What's more the last time I checked it rose just about the same time as the sun set and it still had this reversed "D" shape while it should have been a full moon then.

Anyone else has this issue too?

I have GWX installed with some other minorl mods (but none of these have nothing to do with the moon).
