turning stars colonizable-please help

Well since you changed the Star entity to a planet entity coronas, skyboxes and anything unique to a star can no longer be used.  Remember you also need to go into to the galaxyscenario config file and make sure that you place the new blue star (planet version) as a spawnable planet and not a star otherwise it will still not work.  Here is what you would do to get the same texture and mesh of a star to be colonizable.  Take a look at what I changed and then just go do trial and error until you get it just the way you like it.
