I think the idea about heat and energy is too advanced.. i have to put so much [spoiler]crap[/spoiler] on my ship if i want to go to other planets. and why does the air exchanger use air and energy when its on and nobody is near it and it's on earth?..

[i]MaroonSand: no it's not dude[/i]
It's just more realistic, it adds really something to do, you really have to build advanced bases on other planets, etc.
I personally love it.
Sometimes, when i start playing gm_spacebuild, all planets look gray and anemic, and it's not fun to build when everything is so gloomy. Even sun is colourless. is there a way to fix this problem?

[QUOTE=Wolfmatyr]Of course you have, I dare say everyone has.

Look at the Mars behind! It's brown! that's what i mean.
Edit2: But Earth is not gray... Strange, because on me, everything is gray or brown! I cannot live with it! But wait, Now the most major problem is crashing. Everytime when someone joins my spacebuild2 server, it crashes, and that who joins get connection lost message! :(

ABSOLUTELY SAME LIKE ME. All my planets are gray, there is air on space and the meter doesn't show up in space.
how do you install this?
It's confusing.
My planets look fine, but i'm having the crashing error too :(.
[QUOTE=Talishmar]Look at the Mars behind! It's brown! that's what i mean.[/QUOTE]
Probably because that is the colour of the rock texture used for mars' atmosphere.
Edit: Have you checked to see if your colour mod is on?

All I did was set the func_illusionary's color value on the planetary spheres, it's a basic feature of Source supported by Hammer, I can't imagine why it would be failing :S
I love spacebuild! thank you Shanjaq.
Out of curiosity Shanjaq, what texture did you use for earth?
Probe V2 :)
I accidentally wired the Habitable Output to the input for the Online status on the screen :(

Question: How do you wire life support to the wire mod?
mikeh269, how did you do that? :o
[QUOTE=Wolfmatyr]Out of curiosity Shanjaq, what texture did you use for earth?[/QUOTE]
regular snow(mostly featureless), and snow with more defined features on the Moon, and striped snow on Venus
By the looks of things, you've done a great job with this, Shanjaq.
However, my friend and I, after noticing the gamemode on garrysmod.org, decided to give it a whirl. Unfortunately, neither of us could get it to work.
We downloaded the Spacebuild_v2.zip and Life Support 1.3. As far as I knew, I simply had to put both files into garrysmod/addons.
Apparently not. I started up GMod 10 and... Nothing.
Life Support showed up on Mod/Addons, but I couldn't see the Spacebuild_v2 map when I tried a solo game. My friend couldn't fathom it either.
Could anyone help out a poor Minge? I need to know which files go where.
I don't want to miss out on this promising gamemode. What should I do?
akirasfriend, the spacebuild folder shall go in garrysmod/gamemodes/
[QUOTE=iostream]mikeh269, how did you do that? :o[/QUOTE]
Wire mod. The outputs from the environmental thingy go to one two way radio mounted on the bottom of the probe, then there are another couple for the remaining energy and the altitude of the probe (ranger on the bottom) going to another two way radio.
There's also an RT camera going to an RT camera screen.
Then, there are two two way radios mounted on the back of the camera screen. The outputs from those go to the other screens.
The drone consists of a solar panel, several small energy cells, the environmental sensor thingy, two way radios, a few thrusters, hoverballs and the RT camera. Can be controlled entirely remotely :)
Yeah, right, but I can't find any outputs on the LifeSupport thingys...
Or what the ***, now when I wrote it I realized that I haven't checked for outputs, just for inputs... Hah, thanks anyways :v:

Connecting a wire directly to an energy cell/fuel tank/coolant tank outputs the current level of that tank.
You can also input to turn things off I think (haven't tried yet). The environmental probe outputs (on), (habitable), (pressure) and (temperature)
Hey shanjaq i'm having some trouble mapping for spacebuild. I made a planet but, it doesn't have any enviromental effects. Like lack of oxygen and in space it doesn't remove oxygen.

It's a bug in the latest Life Support addon.
I wish there was a Lua God rating, Winner and Lua King don't seem to be enough in this case. This gamemode is so fun I spent 3 hours colonising the Moon, Venus and trying to colonise mercury. The Stargate and DHD SENTs are very useful for transport between colonised planets.
Hey, loving the build mode, but i have two problems:
The first being that my air exchanger and heat thingy both seem to still work when turned off, which is odd, they don't draw any coolant or power,
Second problem, when i run a saved game, the gamemode doesn't seem to load, and when i load with SV_gamemode Spacebuild it still doesn't seem to work.
Once again, kudos on an amazing game mode and map.
EDIT: oh yes, one last thing, a request for some planets that have alien ruins (or not ruins whatever) on some of the planets, that would rock.
Where is the download link?
On the front page, just wait till garrysmod.org comes back online.
[QUOTE=kiksqalt]Where is the download link?[/QUOTE]
garrysmod.org is down.
I've put up a mirror.

Odd. It works in the spacebuild_v2 map but doesn't work in mine.
this is really fun, keep it up man
I love you...
No,but really,this is an awesome map. I've had hours of fun on it.
