Orbiter Nebula Colored Upgrade 2012-02-25

Orbiter Nebula Colored Upgrade
This addon simulates a small stellar nebula, and combines the original nebula with the new color upgrade.
 
The neutron star concept is by Donatelo200.
 
Solar textures are from the Celestia Motherlode site.
 
The particle emitting ship concept is by BrianJ, from his delta_missions_v1_100930 addon.
 
This addon, in it's present form would not be possible without the dll files compiled by
BrianJ, giving the ability to have colored emissions without manually changing the contrail1 texture file.
 
I have used the XR-2 in the scenarios, but any ship can be substituted.
 
In the scenarios, you can add or delete as many "particle emitting ships" as you desire
to change the size and appearance of the nebula cloud.
 
You can also change the emitter colors,to change the apearance of the stellar field. Simply change the color name of each emitter ship in the scenario to the color you prefer.
 
This addon is purely fictional, in that I had to greatly reduce the size and mass of the star
in order to keep the addon and emitter ships workable.
 
PLEASE NOTE!!!!! This addon adds to the original nebula. I suggest removing the moons of nebstar from the sol config file, neb1,2,3,4,5, from the config folder, meshes folder, and textures folder, but this is optional.
     
Parameters for the smoke(particle stream) and local light source are all controlled from the .cfg file/vessels/nebgen.
 
    ***An interesting glitch...as you watch the nebula grow (from a distance), pay close attention to the screen, right below the spacecraft!
 
You can change the physics and behavior of the particle emissions by working with the parameters in the config files, (i.e.,config/vessels/nebgen folder) and also by changing the mass and diameter of the Nebstar "planet".
 
 ****Something interesting to try... go to configuration, and change the size of Nebstar to 1.12e4. Remove the contrail1 file from the textures folder and put it in a safe place. Make a copy of the red contrail1 dds file, and put in the textures folder.
    
Run the original Nebula 12 distal scenario and watch the show!! Don't forget to replace the original contrail1 file
    
I have included the color contrail1 files in the Docs folder, so you can experiment with them..have fun, I know I have!
Special thanks to:
 
Jon Marcure at Rag Tag Fleet for the idea which gnawed at me for
months, and for his heroic attempts to do the impossible.
