This is similar to above, but with some coding. Well, it's more copy-and-paste! Then again, that's what coding is sometimes... anyway!
I have decided I don't want the Earth's moon, I want Saturn! So I go to a royalty-free image site, such as Flickr, and find a nice image of Saturn. I like it, so I will use it.
So, I have opened it up in GIMP...problem is, it is a bit big compared to FH's moon.
I crop it and scale it down smaller.
Now that we finally have our soon-to-be moon image, we will save it to our My_Objects folder. I named it my_saturn.png. Since I already have a custom moon in this folder, I have the material file set up. All you have to do is make your own material file (
Make a new notepad document and replace the .txt abbreviation to .material.) and copy this code into it, changing the text in white to the name of your image/name of your material:
material my_saturn
{
receive_shadows off
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off
depth_write off
scene_blend add
fog_override true
texture_unit
{
texture my_saturn.PNG
}
}
}
}
Once you have it saved, open up FeralHeart and go to your Sky Maker. Once in your Sky Maker, scroll down and select Moon. This is where you color the moon, but also you can change the material!
Input your new material and wha-lah! It's a saturn-moon!
(which you can also still color!)
