Description
I know PlanetGen isn't very good at gas giants, so here's GasGiantGen, designed to specifically make gas giants with rings. It's extremely buggy, and the randomizer WILL generate wrong results (planet intersecting the inside of the rings, sliders in the wrong positions resulting in infinite rings, etc). Be careful with the sliders, too low of a Ring Angle will remove the color bands, OK for Uranus-like planets, but horrible for Jovians. Inner edge must be lower than Midpoint distance, which in turn must be smaller than Outer edge. It's not too accurate, I know, as realistic ringed gas giants are impossible without 3D, which can't be done without a map script, which is lightyears beyond me.
