Bodyloader: A lightweight body modifier PLEASE ADOPT ME

[NathanKell]

I wrote some code to modify bodies in KSP. It's very lightweight, doesn't do a ton, but it doesn't need much configuring either.

Supports changing atmospheric properties of bodies, and the body radius.

Supports global rescaling of radii, orbital altitude, rotation period, and atmosphere height.

Please adopt this and release it as your own!

It's all on the repo, you can grab it as a zip to play with it.

Two examples are included, one that modifies Jool's atmosphere, and another that rescales planets by 10x. If all you want is a changed atmosphere for Jool, delete the second example.

Good to have some nice bodymodding options around here. Can I get a corset piercing?

Gotta love body modifications. We're gonna have some totally ripped Kerbals soon.

Made a repo for it, offered a compiled version with some examples. Please someone adopt this! I have too many mods...

I would love to adopt this, but I'm rather new modding in KSP. I know that it's in C#, and I don't know that language, but I do know Java and C++. Is there a place that would help teach me this sort of stuff before I take this on?

@WillThe84th ah, great! Tbh C# is quite close to Java, so you shouldn't need that much conversion. I'd suggest googling for C# for Java Programmers or something, that might help. For KSP's flavor, check the KSP wiki and the tutorials in the stickies? Should be good stuff there.

@NathanKell I know C# to some extent. I don't really know KSP API thou

[NathanKell]

I'm happy as long as this codebase gets some love.
