Closed AstroChara closed 9 months ago

AstroChara commented 10 months ago

Updated rings of dwarf planets and centaurs wherever data allows; Chiron's rings are currently hidden due to not enough data being available
Updated Orcus' colors
Corrected Vanth's radius
Added mass for Himalia
Updated Chariklo's dimensions
Updated masses for Saturn and Neptune
Updated ring textures for Haumea, Quaoar (corrected opacity), and Chariklo.

Current issues:

Licensing of haumea-rings, as the version with fictional details has been replaced; the current license file has not yet been changed.
The ring textures are 2 pixels tall, as for whatever reason paint.net doesn't allow me to make them 1 pixel tall.

As unlikely as it is, please do not merge this pull request before @Askaniy comments on the Haumea ring texture update.

I don't mind replacing my texture with a detailless one. Noticed that the height is 2 pixels, not 1, which is a little strange.

Thanks. After thinking about it for a bit, would it be okay to keep the license file the same, (I think) effectively 'transferring' this file to you or something like that? paint.net doesn't allow me to scale these files down to 1 pixel unfortunately; would appreciate help on this one.

You can just edit the license file to

The other ring textures will need license files too.

Try using another program like GIMP to scale the textures.

Done.

GIMP is godawful at transparency it's not even funny. That said I realized I could just crop the ring texture so I am going to update the textures now.

AstroChara commented 10 months ago

approving, though eventually Chiron will need a ring texture (or Chariklo's restored as a placeholder)

done. Due to the asymmetry in the rings, I used the denser, wider, closer portion of the rings.
