Can someone aid me in adding in an object in-game?

[Mittence]

Hello KSP Forum!

During the last week, I have been scouring the internet and looking for instructions to create my own personal KSP planetary system. So far, almost nothing has worked. Even copying over a planet from a mod, and customizing the surface textures just a little (changing the color, that's it) makes the planet just pitch white. or just plain non-existent. I have no idea what is happening, or what is wrong with my script. So, I think I really need a step-by-step response on how to deal with this. Any help or response is highly appreciated!  

 

 In this scenario, I tried to edit one of The White Guardians objects, Vahn. All I did was edit the surface texture with GIMP to see how it would fair in the game.

 

 But, as you see, there is absolutely nothing here. The script is pretty much the same as the original, other than the different directories. I have no idea what is wrong.

Welcome to the forum @Mittence.

I've moved your topic to General Mod Development Help and Support.

@Mittence I haven't made many planets (actually only one and it stopped working for unknown reasons) so I can't help you there but I do know that some of the parameters in cfg files can be very picky - sometimes capitalization is important, sometimes not. I would suggest you us in the same directory structure White Guardian had (from GameData on down) just to eliminate one of the differences.If that doesn't work you might try posting on one of White Guardians tutorial threads - there will be more modders that know about making planets hanging around those threads.

@wasml Many Thanks!
