well he said hes to lazy to recompile new models just to change 1 texture - someone could do it ofc...
but i request a feature in the official forums - you could take a look and leave your thoughts about it there ;-)

haha xD
modding has mostly nothing to do with programming!^^
at SE all you need is the SDK wich you can find under "Tools" in your steam libary or just google for it ;-)
it containes the source files needed (under "content" in the main directory) and the mwm builder to recompile it - all you need to do is changing the texture path to the custom texture and recompile it! - no witchwork!
but as you seem to have 0 knowledge i suggest you to read some guides!^^
also just look what files are in the game directory and how they are organized ;-)

could you make it so that it is ice in space and the normal texture on planets?

there 2 questions in it^^
at first if such an effect is possible? - in general yes, envirement defination check and then a smooth rate to override one texture with another
but is it possible at SE - idk, but yet not allowed for moders! - there you need real programing knowledge to implement such feature in the first place! xP
so at least NO - he cant!

Um you can just use the texture in the mod itself, it's just a standerd dds you can open with paint dot net, gimp or photoshop.

Like i said you dont need my permission you can make your own mod useing this texture, hell you dont even need to credit me.

lol, so the texture isnt your own creative work? ;-)
or are you ashamed of it? xD
