    Note that the distances increase exponentially (x2) while the light intensities decrease linearly (-0.1).  Although this isn't how light intensity varies in real life, I think it produces a nice visual effect in the game.

    As long as your exponential increases and linear decreases are consistent throughout the curve, the slopes can be computed using the formula,

    m = X / d

    where m is slope, d is distance, and X is given by the formula,

    X = (In+1 - In) / LN(dn+1 / dn)

    where I is intensity.

    Any pair of keys can be used to compute X, because each pair should give the same result.  For example, let's use, 

    
					key = 4000000 0.7 -3.61E-08 -3.61E-08
					key = 8000000 0.6 -1.80E-08 -1.80E-08

    where we have,

    X = (0.6 - 0.7) / LN(8000000 / 4000000) = -0.1442695

    This value of X is then used to compute the slope at any distance.  For example, the slope at a distance of 2000000 is,  

    m = -0.1442695 / 2000000 = -7.21E-08

    This method gives nice smooth logarithmic intensity curves.  The same basic curve can be used for other stars by simply factoring the distances and/or intensities to account for greater or lesser luminosity, and recalculating the slopes.

    Of course you might not like the way it looks and may choose to use something else.  This is only a suggestion.
     

    Even though my star systems don't have the inner planets close together, I'll try this out anyway. Thanks :)

    It has one, but the curve returns the stock intensity for all distances.

    Is it possible to change the curve from a config file? Like from this cfg:

                    }
                    sunAU = 0    //13599840256

                    luminosity = 0.136    //1360
                    brightnessCurve
                    {
                        key = 0 0 0 25
                        key = 0.01 0.105 0.5 0.5
                        key = 1 0.6 0.5 0.5
                        key = 5 3 0 0
                        key = 10 3 0 0
                        key = 50 2 0 0
                        key = 200 2 0 0
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Except that the game doesn't crash every time I load it up. :/

    your problem is that with the new kopernicus planets can be illuminated by multiple stars.

    by default each star has an infinite range, so that's why your planet is illuminated by both

    you need to add inside the Light node of every star an intensity curve

    in this post thomas explained the syntax

     

    PS: for the distance, take the amount of kilometers you want and divide by 6

    Added the light intensity curves and it didn't help.

    Here's my cfg if you're interested:

				ScaledIntensityCurve
				{
					key = 0 0.65

				IVASunColor = 1.0, 0.977, 0.896, 1.0

    Hey mate, I loved the mod, it looks like it has a lot of potential! But I've been having where the light of the new star is lighting up all of the planets and there is basically no night time. I have Kopernicus installed and all the requirements installed, I tried reinstalling and that didn't do anything. Its been really bugging me, and I have absolutely no clue what to do. Could you help me out thanks! (edit: I'm also in ksp 1.3)

    Yes, I'll be sure to include brightness curve changes in the next update :wink:.

    (At least, I think it's the brightness curve...)

    Posted · Edited by EricL

    @Axeon @StarCrusher96 I think there is a way to remove contracts...

    (the following config is taken from removeContracts.cfg in SigmaBinary) 

    @Contracts:HAS[@Kopernicus]:FOR[SigmaBinary]
{
	@ISRU
	{
		@RESOURCE_REQUEST,*
		{
			Forbidden = //body name
		}
	}
	...
}

    Maybe you could modify it to not accept the exploration contract, but I really don't know how... :/

    EDIT: StarCrusher, I noticed that you still use flightGlobalsIndexes for the bodies and this messes with the contract system. Try removing these values and let Kopernicus set those numbers. :wink:

    [1.2.2] Kopernicus PQS Library Expansion

    @The White Guardian Does this work with Kopernicus 1.3.0-4? None of the custom PQS mods show up in Kittopia anymore.

    OK dev talk: Y'know the rocky planets/moons I posted as images? Well they are pointing the wrong way from the star, like this for example:

    [snip]

    I'm quite sure there's a basic solution to this, right?

    Update: Plus, there's an issue where the terrain turns white and gets all glitchy and their appears to be no height whatsoever, just need these two issues resolved and I'll stop asking.

    For the first problem: As I said before, the problem is with the normal map. You just need to convert it to the correct format (DXT5_nm) and it should work. Just export your planet maps using Kittopia.

    For the second problem: I believe the problem is with the PQS. Can I see your config?

    [snip]

    Here's what I got for the contest so far: It's a moon called Ungas and it orbits Ira at about 5.1M km (in the game of course, duh). It's a Kerbin-esque moon that has a 678km radius, tidally locked, 75km atmosphere, and has 1.2 gees of gravity.

    I've done the hard part by coding this moon out, It's actually easy if you know what you're doing, I wish I would've gotten this down weeks ago. :/

    Nice moon you got there, @NickRoss120. :)

    My own moon, Cadium, orbits much farther in (about 95K km) much smaller (200 km radius), and has 0.7 gees of gravity.
