Constellations and Major Stars

[Teeke]

From a current RP?
Mind sharing?

edit:
Quick google brought up
http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/night-sky-pack/

so i guess the sky would be dependant on the pack used. (sometimes.)

Edit: There's a certain process you need to take to change skies. It is possible, though. Some people don't even have normal render distance because they need their computer alive.

 

[Teeke]

My render distance is tiny.
My lighting is moody.
My fog is at .2
I can barely see past 20 meters.
But I can see the night sky.

Oh. Guys, I'm not opposed to names involving gods, just if you name it directly after them.

Ex:

Sallana - Err, not really.

"Shalherana's Cornucopia" - Solid.

Exactly what Iw as trying to say, but said better...

Exactly what Iw as trying to say, but said better...

Exactly what I was saying for the past four pages, but better...

 

[Teeke]

I think that naming convention is superb.

Now important to note: If someone is using an HD patched sky they will NOT be looking at the typical stars that Alterans would be viewing.

 

[Scardrac]

Another important note: It's not something that the world knows as passive knowledge. Newcomers/cultures might name them/see then differently. How would you just poof the knowledge into the kingdoms?

 

[Teeke]

Either retcon (shudder) or just people will begin talking about the stars... or some other third thing.
And very yes, different cultures may/will see them differently.

*pokes head into thread* Just to confirm that different texture packs can have different stars, the Hollowworld Resource pack uses a custom starfield texture which I've added below. It could easily be edited to make constellations or certain stars stand out a bit

[Teeke]

boulder.
that would be incredible.

 

[Naelwyn]

Sometimes all one needs to do is give an example.

 

[Teeke]

Naelwyn.

I love the Crusades constellation.

 

[ptiber]

Well, if you ever manage to start a congregation of astronomers or anything like that, I have a nice spot and building in my city to house such groups of people

 

[Scardrac]

Naelwyn. That made my sides die for about ten minutes. Thank you.
