Custom made star receiving sunlight after adding curves

[WolfyDoo]

Hey,

My custom-made star is still receiving light from the Sun, even after adding intensity curves to both stars. Here is the config for my star:

}

I hope you guys can help me with this.

Thanksss

I don't really see anything wrong with the intensity curves per se, but I can see why the stars may be projecting light that far.  The distances in the curves are kilometers/6000.  So dividing your star's semimajor axis by 6000 we get,

1164929338593 / 6000 = 194154890

So that means at that distance your star should still be casting light with an intensity of a little greater than 0.10.  If sun has a similar curve, then you should still be able to see its light around your star.

Does that sound right, or are you seeing something else?

[WolfyDoo]

This is the config for the sun:

@Kopernicus
{
	@Body
	{
		Template
		{
			name = Sun
		}
		
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			@Light
			{
				@IntensityCurve
				{
					key = 0	0.30
					key = 100000 0.28
					key = 200000 0.26
					key = 400000 0.24
					key = 800000 0.22
					key = 1600000 0.20
					key = 3200000 0.18
					key = 6400000 0.16
					key = 12800000 0.14
					key = 25600000 0.12
					key = 51200000 0.10
					key = 102400000 0.08
					key = 204800000 0.06
					key = 250000000 0
				}
				@ScaledIntensityCurve
				{
					key = 0	0.30
					key = 100000 0.28
					key = 200000 0.26
					key = 400000 0.24
					key = 800000 0.22
					key = 1600000 0.20
					key = 3200000 0.18
					key = 6400000 0.16
					key = 12800000 0.14
					key = 25600000 0.12
					key = 51200000 0.10
					key = 102400000 0.08
					key = 204800000 0.06
					key = 250000000 0
				}
				@IVAIntensityCurve
				{
					key = 0	0.35
					key = 100000 0.34
					key = 200000 0.32
					key = 400000 0.30
					key = 800000 0.28
					key = 1600000 0.26
					key = 3200000 0.24
					key = 6400000 0.22
					key = 12800000 0.20
					key = 25600000 0.17
					key = 51200000 0.13
					key = 102400000 0.08
					key = 204800000 0.03
					key = 250000000 0
				}
			}
		}
	}
}	

So looking at this config, I don't see what I'm doing wrong...

I even changed the distance values to a lower value and I still see no difference..

Could it be that I have done something wrong with all the '@'?

-Yes, I did something wrong with all the '@'. It is working now. Thanks. This is closed

But thanks for the fast reply!

Although it sounds like you already have it figured out, I'd recommend something like the following for the Sun.  The @ is used only when you're changing an existing item.  Since there are no existing intensity curves, you don't use @.  You might also want to remove the existing intensity parameters, which are being replaced by the curves.  The ! tag removes an item.  If you are unsure, you can use %, which changes an item if it is exists, or adds it if it doesn't.

I'm not 100% sure whether ScaledVersion and Light require the @ or not.  I think so, but if it doesn't work you can try removing them.

Thank you. I will remove the existing intensity parameters for the sun. And Light doesn't require @, but ScaledVersion does.. Everything works now!
