Example

 "planetHorizons" : {
   "biomeTextures" : "/celestial/system/horizon/textures/<biome>_<selector>.png",
   "atmosphereTextures" : "/celestial/system/horizon/atmosphere/atmosphere_<selector>.png",
   "shadowTextures" : "/celestial/system/horizon/shadow/shadow_<selector>.png",
   "maskTextures" : "/celestial/system/horizon/masks/<mask>_<selector>.png",
   "liquidTextures" : "/celestial/system/horizon/liquids/<liquid>_<selector>.png",
   "maskRange" : [0, 40],
   "maskPerPlanetRange" : [1, 3]
 },

systemTypes

Object containing the types systems. New System Type Objects can be added to create new types of systems. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "system_id": <System Type Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of satellite objects.

Example

 "systemTypes" : {
   "SystemA" : {
     ... <System Type Object> ...
   },
   "SystemB" : {
     ... <System Type Object> ...
   },
   "SystemC" : {
     ... <System Type Object> ...
   }
 }

planetaryTypes

Object containing the types planets. New Planet Type Objects can be added to create new types of planets. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "planet_id": <Planet Type Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of satellite objects.

Example

 "planetTypes" : {
   "PlanetA" : {
     ... <Planet Type Object> ...
   },
   "PlanetB" : {
     ... <Planet Type Object> ...
   },
   "PlanetC" : {
     ... <Planet Type Object> ...
   }
 }

satelliteTypes

Object containing the types of satellites of planets. New Satellite Type Objects can be added to create new types of satellites. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "satellite_id": <Satellite Type Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of satellite objects.

Example

 "satelliteTypes" : {
   "SatelliteA" : {
     ... <Satellite Type Object> ...
   },
   "SatelliteB" : {
     ... <Satellite Type Object> ...
   },
   "SatelliteC" : {
     ... <Satellite Type Object> ...
   }
 }
