How to add new Planets?

[ererbe]

I have the textures, (based on the desert textures) and decoration textures (and a new ship for this planet).
but, how to add a planet to the game? I already tryed stuff,but I'm a beginner.
I have crash logs and maybe screens if you want. (or any code)
(would be nice if you can help me, i already have another ideas for planets...)

(And it would be cool, if I would be able to create ships with more than 2 gun slots (one part/ type 1, goes to rmb and tyoe 2 to lmb or something like this.))

sry for the bad englisch...

Welcome!

Your English is fine. @vampcat might be the ideal person to ask about this sometime, @SigmaOne might also have some ideas or spare time to go digging. Maybe also @Rostyslav Zatserkovnyi

need the textures be in a atlas? maybe this is my error...
(if i try to add new weapons it dosent work too, icon not found but names match)
and if yes: how to pack the textures in a atlas

 

[ererbe]

yes, i think yes, is there a programm i have / should use or have i do it manualy?

@ererbe Sorry for the late reply, was travelling.

No, you don't need to do it manually. Several tools already exist, most notably https://github.com/crashinvaders/gdx-texture-packer-gui and http://www.aurelienribon.com/blog/2012/06/texturepacker-gui-v3-0-0/
That being said, give us a month or so, we'll be trying to shift away from Atlas completely so it gets easier for content creators to create stuff

The crashinvaders tool is a lot more recent and at least on my system it works better

 

[vampcat]

Yeah, the aurelienribon tool dates back to 2012 from what I can see, and was probably the one initially used in DestSol. Glad to see that you guys found the better tool

P.S. credits to SigmaOne for finding the crashinvaders tool, btw
