I use exoplanet.eu and Hanno Rein's Exoplanet app (based on this site) all the time. They're quite useful.

Maybe title the topic "Useful links"

Thanks

A Couple of these are useful to me

After All - I have to actually "Invent" Star Systems, with Planets -

For my Sci Fi Game.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:08:48 PM »

I'm gonna write a Perl script to generate a system. Any suggestions what options there should be?

vh · « **Reply #7 on:** September 06, 2011, 06:24:32 PM »

number of planets, number of stars? (think binary! or even maybe triple or quadruple stars) number of moons
asteroid belts? earth-like planet
gas giant system/massive planet system (so you can simulate something that would be discovered by looking at the wobble of the parent star)
maybe you could show the composition of the planet?
ring systems (yes or no)
color of sun
eh, ill stop at that

FiahOwl · « **Reply #8 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:29:28 AM »

Number Of Planets

Random Seed Input

Binary System y/n

% Jovian % Terrestrial

Asteroid Belts

Atmosphere Composition and stuff.

Mass, Diamiter, Density, Albedo.

Eccentricity, Inclination.

Spectral Class, Luminosity, and Temp of the Parent star

Moons

Generate a Realistic amount of planets. stargen generates like 5000032 in every system.

Option for: Force Habitable Planet in System

Random Seed Input

I probably can't do this. The rest are very plausible.

deoxy99 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2011, 08:13:59 PM »

Yes, you can. You can use a number-only seed.

It's called rand(9999999999999), or it's called "use ruby".

Any news on your Script?

He probably did nothing. That's how he is, and how I am. If I say I make something awesome (or he says he makes something awesome), don't expect something awesome.

You just insulted yourself and Nue. Good job. However I also do that a lot.

OT: Most of these are neat, and they seem useful for when you want to create a system but have no idea what to do in terms of the layout and the amounts of everything.

i found this: Astrosysthesis

It generates whole systems with the right physics and chemistry, supposedly. I just liked the screenshots, the easily displayed stats, and the textures that come with it!

FiahOwl · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2011, 08:23:29 PM »

Can you save the textures to your computer?

Darvince · « **Reply #16 on:** October 08, 2011, 09:02:54 PM »

If I remember correctly, there aren't any program-made textures. It's uploaded from his computer.

Oh I'm not sure, ask the mudk.

vh · « **Reply #24 on:** October 10, 2011, 05:49:32 AM »

i'm pretty sure you can...
and if it doesn't let you, screenshot the texture and paste it into paint

How did I forget about that? That's some nice software.

Yes you can save the textures, no you can't save the systems you generate (that's the downfall of the trial)

Ahaha that's good, and idc about the systems anyways.

vh · « **Reply #29 on:** October 10, 2011, 11:05:56 AM »

whats wrong with ms paint lol
i mean it sucks, but you don't need any editing really for pasting images...
(and it loads faster, otherwise i'd use paint.net)
