tremulous solar sysem

[fleash eater]

i am making a new solar map for tremulous  if you want your map to be on it than pm me a pic and description, i will make it for another trem version

Do you mean a map as in cartography?  So if we want our fictitious world as part of your fictitious solar system, send a pic.  One thing I would point out is that many of these fictitious locations seem like they are rather spread out, as in across several solar systems.  MEEP and ATCS would be on Mars I assume.  Ancient Remains could be interpreted as Earth, as could Temple.  Gamma core could possibly be here in the asteroid belt of the Sol system.  Niveus, Nexus6, Ceberus, Procyon, Pulse, Sedna, and many others are all likely in many different planetary systems.  So you would have to find a coherent set of themed maps to make a decent planetary system.

P.S. If in fact, beyond all logic, you intend to make a playable game map of a solar system, I then would ask, "What have you been huffing and can I have some?"

Sedna is one of the Plutinos
Procyon is a nearby white giant whose name means "Fore-Dog" as it rises just before Sirius (11 ly away iirc) - it's visible in winter evenings in the Northern Hemisphere near Orion
take a look at this
also this is quite useful
as is this
and this

also, Niveus apparently means "white":
nivea/niveum/niveus: snow-white  (ref. Boehmeria nivea, Sedum niveum, Helianthus niveus)
nivium: from the roots nix or nivis for "snow," this is an alternate spelling of niveum, apparently grammatically different from niveum, but conveying the same meaning, that is, "snow, snowy, of snow or belonging to snow." David Hollombe dug up the fact that the type locality for this taxon was Snow Mountain in Lake County east of Mendocino (ref. Epilobium nivium)
nivosa: snow-white

that helped alot thanks, now if only i cold gather the maps(not ll maps will be on it

[player1]

no worries
astronomy is a hobby of mine
I use this
and this
on a daily basis

also, there is a great map in the Procyon level that is definitely worth taking a look at

if I were you, I'd PM mapmakers to find out where they intend their map to be located in spacetime before making any uninformed decisions

also, do a fairly extensive search of the map name and a walkthru of the level looking for "clues"

good luck with it

research is your friend

Cerberus was a three-headed dog who guarded the entrance to Hades - to my knowledge, the term has not been used astronomically

ATCS would not be Mars
the gravity and atmosphere are wrong, and the sky is the wrong color - not enough water vapor in atmosphere for blue sky (note that gravity would be wrong for almost all non-Earth maps, including MEEP, which must have artificial Earth gravity)

Blue sky on ATCS?  What map are you playing?  It even uses a skybox that is titled "Mars" http://www.simonoc.com/pages/materials/skybox/mars.htm .  And in sci-fi games it is easy to explain away gravity discrepencies with artificial gravity, though it would be interesting to see some maps with pockets of low gravity.  I'm going to be looking for opportunities to do this in future mapping projects of mine.
