Hey everyone, just finished learning about EEP and creating an environment for TatooineRP, and I feel it came out beautifully.

Here's a question I have though, is there a way to make 2 suns, and 5 moons? I would keep them clustered together so they would basically move with the original sun and moon, not operate independently or anything.

Any suggestions? I can't find anything online about it...

We have two suns in the sky on Tattoine at Spaceworld!

I don't think that's quite what you have in mind tho.. LoL
This would be a supercool feature Lunk you're right!

TattoineRP looks great!! Can we visit?
Your gallery photos are awesome!
I have rental at LME in SL, and was hoping to bring some of those features here, but you've beat me to it!
Looks really good! MTFBWYA

Yeah, after much research I do not think it is possible without creating a skydome and scripting a new sun/moon cycle, which would never look as good as the EEP, so I'm not going to work on it any longer. I will be making TatooineRP open soon for the public, I just need to finish a little more work on it first. Thanks for the compliments, I am an artist/author and I work really hard in writing and creating to make things beautiful.

My hope for TatooineRP is it will eventually become a great RP area. I have been playing RPG since 1983 when my friend introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons. I don't play as much these days, but find joy in creating worlds and maps. I actually got to see Star Wars opening day at the local drive-in when I was a kid LOL

Could you change the moon into a second sun?

Then try experimenting with objects/skydomes for moons?

What a great idea! I’m going to look into this tonight thank you for the idea

I got home last night and started playing around with the settings. Your idea was great, however, the moon does not have the same settings as the sun, so they looked odd next to each other, like the image of the moon, although replaced with a new texture of the sun, just stuck out too much.

However, I then thought, why not make a new texture for the sun, with 2 smaller suns, then adjust the size?

It too did not look right because the actual "sun" EEP uses is not using the texture you upload. So I deleted one sun from the image, shrank the other down, and got this in the image below.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction, I would have never figured this out without your help

Anyway, now that Tatooine has its binary suns, I can get to work on multiple moons using the same process!

We have moons!

A little hard to see in the pic, all three are there though. I am extremely happy with the results!
