The Centaurus A Overhaul

Description
What does this do?

This addon replaces the default galaxy model used for Centaurus A with a new model to make it look more visually accurate to real photos of the galaxy.

NOTE: Due to a SE limitation, the dust line will not be visible from Earth by default. As a workaround for this, try increasing the magnitude limit for nebulae to at least 12.00. Even then, the galaxy dust line might flicker at times while exploring it from close. There's no solution for this, unfortunately.

Does this alter procedural generation?

Yes, for visual purposes, the galaxy type is changed from "S0" to "E2", so the generation of stars in the galaxy will be different once you install this addon (Only on this galaxy, the rest should be fine).

How to install?

Press the subscribe button, and the installation will begin automatically. No need to delete the cache folder.

Not that interested in SE lately, but maybe I will in the future

Updated the addon to fix that. It was part of a custom model made for an unused nebula. It should be hidden now so it doesn't show the log warning.

The log gives an error because "Centaurus A starbust" is not defined

hello, traveler, i've seen you've been scrolling for awhile. take a break and relax, maybe a cup of fresh steam gigabites?

这有什么作用？
该插件用新模型替换了用于半人马座 A 的默认星系模型，使其在视觉上看起来更准确，以符合银河系的真实照片。

注意：如果你从地球上看银河系，尘埃线将不可见，为了解决这个问题，将星云的星等限制增加到至少12.00。银河系在探索时有时会闪烁，但不幸的是，没有解决方案。

这会改变程序生成吗？
是的，出于视觉目的，星系类型从“S0”更改为“E2”，因此星系中恒星的生成在默认版本和此mod之间将完全不同（仅在此星系上，其余的应该没问题）。

@DampfBob This one in particular was made using custom nebulae, but the other galaxies I made are basically just custom textures. You can find some info about it in the SE manual: https://spaceengine.org/manual/making-addons/creating-a-dso/

It's a bit old, but it still applies to current versions.

How did you edit/create those galaxies? I thought about creating some nebulas and galaxies myself but don't know how to. Do you have any external Tutorial guides/links?

do a galaxy texture pack
