Stars have boxes around them

[smjjames]

While I'm not seeing it with the ones I place, when I open an outside save such as the one here: http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,4967.0.html ,  I see a colored box (if the star is orange, the box is orange) around the star from a distance and when I get to a certain distance from the star, the box fades away and the star appears as normal.

A picture would be nice.

I described it pretty good, but okay, I'll get one up as soon as I can.

Edit: Okay, here is what it looks like. Even though the pulse star (it's FiahOwls save) is visible as a box from light years away, I chose a more normal star for the example. This one just happens to be white, but if the star is orange, the box will be orange.


Further in, the box begins to fade and ths star appears as normal.


Hrm, I wanted to get the UI to appear, but for reference anyway, the first one is between 2-1 AU out and the second one is approx 25-20 M km out.

Oh, a flat box (a square), not a 3D box.

Yea I guess I should have said flat box. Anyways, Fiah said that the stars in her (his?) save don't have custom textures, so it isn't because of missing textures.

Oh yea, I should note that the game is paused and the box rotates on it's own.

It may be a glitch with the lighting around the suns. Only Dan will know.

The 2D box rotates around a 3D Circle? Lmao

Sorry for the gender mixup and by rotate, I mean spin. The fact that it's moving while the sim is paused is something else.

0.O Its a time vortex manipulator thingy that spins when time is stopped!
