Need help with custom planet rings

Trying to put rings around a planet, grabbing source from Planet Aso, but because my planet is smaller than Aso, the rings look like they belong to a much larger planet and I want to bring them in closer…

I’ve copied the Aso.ini file to Eden.ini (name of my planet) and been working with that instead of altering Aso’s rings. Also in the shapes.ini, I thought the x,y,w,h values may have been related to the size of the rings, but the look to be more related to the appearance and color… so, I return back to eden.ini.

[Exterior]
shape = ring3
detail_shape = ringdetail
detail_tile = 25, 5
color = 255, 255, 255
opacity = 0.700000
thickness_edge = 0.900000
outer_edge = 0.300000
inner_edge = 0.100000
num_segments = 64
transition_dist = 100

[Clouds]
max_distance = 400
puff_count = 40
puff_radius = 100
puff_colora = 175, 150, 255
puff_colorb = 200, 200, 255
puff_max_alpha = 0.750000
puff_shape = rock_wisp1
puff_shape = rock_wisp2
puff_shape = rock_wisp3
puff_shape = rock_wisp4
puff_weights = 3, 1, 1, 1
puff_drift = 1.000000
near_fade_distance = 175, 300

I don’t understand why the color of the rings is set to white in this ini file, but changing the shape to a different ring set will actually change the colors of the ring (but not the size). Detail tile looks more like how the rings are compiled with tiled images, and that completes the exterior portion.

I tried changing max_distance but it does not seem to have an effect, neither does puff_radius… so I go back to the file for the system… Ew07.ini…

[zone]
nickname = Zone_Ew07_Eden_ring
pos = -11228, 2000, 9663
rotate = 21, -31, -20
shape = ring
size = 8000, 6000, 250
sort = 99.500000

now, if I play with pos, that changes the location of the rings, of course… rotate will adjust it’s pitch/angle… size is the only thing I can think is valid, it was first 12000, 8000, 250… if I go to 6000, 6000, 250; I don’t get any rings at all… but I don’t seem to notice a difference between 12000, 8000, 250 and 8000, 6000, 250… going to keep playing with this, and will update thread if I figure it out… but after a few hours of failed trial and error, I thought I’d see if someone has encountered this and knows how to work with it?

sweet, tyvm… I was getting there… found both the first two to manipulate the width and radius of the rings, last one manipulated the height or volume of the rings…
