Earth Globe

not subscribing, lacks the description "mostly harmless"

(ღ˘⌣˘ღ) wonderful!

unpacking vanilla files was the first thing i did... :D i am now exploring the files to create things i need (mostly weapons, but also food and other random things like items spawning in chests all over the universe).
no need to talk about references, i am an artist XD

a good step to understanding items/objects is to unpack the vanilla files and look at items that are already close to what you want. in this case you might look at other animated objects.
ofcourse makign sprites that look good costs a lot of time and nerves.
i'd start with a few placeholders and then like make 12 or 24 reference pictures of a real globe in the turned positions and go with the sprites for 3, 6, 9 and 12 (oh and 15, 18, 21, 24) that's already 8 sprites to do. i'd be too lazy and go with 6, 12, 18, 24 :D

i had an idea to make the globe rotating (simply rotating, not necessarily acc to the time), but i haven't figured out yet how animations properly work. probably if i understand it (and if don't get too lazy to draw the sprites) i'll try to animate it, but i am not sure yet.
thanks :)

also great work for a first mod!

I also like how it is set to Greenwich Mean Time

would it be possible to synch it with a clock to always show the current time by turning?

yes, it is Greenwich :) thank you!
