[WIP] [Kopernicus] [1.0.4+] Proksolar System

[JebKeb]

So, now that my forum account is working, I thought it would be a good time to actually complete one of my mods.

Proksolar will be a brown dwarf with a huge assortment of planets. I'll make a list here.

• Proksolar itself
• Ablatus (very close core of planet)
• Ikulna (lava world with a thin but high pressure atmosphere and mountains sticking into space
• Ikulna 2 (name not certain, binary twin with Ikulna, has very deep holes
• Kaia (ocean world with soaring mountains with rings of snow, not snow all the way up?!)
• Ada (slighty inclined dense small moon of kaia)
• TinyAsteroid(near escaping asteroid of kaia)
• Dres-place (except with big craters and snow at the polar craters.)
• Ringdancer (a crazy little asteroid that crossed the orbit of YellowGasGiant and Kaia)
• YellowGasGiant
• LavaWorld (an atmosphereless moon with huge lava lakes. Orbits inside a small ring around YGG)
• OxygenCanyons (a moon of YGG with deep canyons and in there a thin oxygen atmosphere. Also leaves a ring)
• Kearthea (ruddy ice world with craggy mountains and oxygen AGAIN!)
• Blutonius (a suspicious ball of blue in orbit around Kearthea)
• PurpleGasGiant
• GrazingAsteroid (An asteroid that grazes the atmosphere of PGG, but is boosted back up by TitanMoon
• TitanMoon (Like Ikulna, only with green oceans and lower temperatures and no huge plateus)
• PlateueyPlace (a grey ball like minimus, only flatter on the plateus
• FinalPlanet (the farthest planet with huge polar craters filled with ice

I am sorry about no pics.

A bit of history on the mod: I thought out this mod in mid 2015 and have never really gotten around or known how to do it. 

I am planning to release alpha 0.1 on spacedock with a fully completed Proksolar with no planets. I'm going to also put it in Addon releases when it hits 0.9 beta, to iron out the bugs and hopefully release a featurefull?! bugfree mod for KSP

I'm sorry about the messiness and weirdness of the layout of this thread; I haven't written threads in ages. Hopefully the release thread looks a bit nicer.

I'll keep this thread thoroughly updated with pics and questions and maybe even answers.

Thanks,

JebKeb

P.S. I'm working on a banner

Sounds interesting. I don't remember seeing any other brown dwarf packs on the forums. Good luck! (I'd be happy to come up with planet names!)

[JebKeb]

Thanks for the offer for naming. I'll ask later, because I have some more technical problems.

So...it appears that my planet loves the colour pink. It refuses to spawn if it has a ScaledVersion{} texture module in the config file. And if I don't have it, like using VertexColorMap{} it continues to blare it's pinkness. I've had this problem for quite a while. So, here's some useful information that may be helpful.

Thanks for helping and helping me tackle this problem.

[JebKeb]

No worries, actually. Proksolar is working well with a texture! I'll post some pictures as soon as I have something respectable.

[JebKeb]

Well, they're not the best textures but they'll do.

Also, what's that blotch of orange?

[JebKeb]

OK, well the atmosphere looks odd but that should be fixable.

Also, I'm having problems with the atmosphere. In all of the mods I've tried to make it refuses to go above 0.01atm. Any reasons why?

[JebKeb]

Do you want the rings for Proksolar to be an addon for the mod?

[Enceos]

@JebKeb I hope you begin with one planet from start to finish and then expand. Even a single planet may take weeks to finish. Are you planning to texture them yourself?

[Andem]

Intriguing... I'll have to try this down the line with extrasolar...

[JebKeb]

Yeah, I'm only having Proksolar in the first alpha release. Also, I'll get paint.net for the textures. If they never turn out well, I'll choose a texturer.

I'm going to be gone until the 28th, so don't expect any responses soon.

Cya!

[JebKeb]

Wow! I've really forgotten about this place!

I'll try and get Proksolar for 1.0.5 running. (That's sad, I got no help and the version switched over )

I'll boot it up, find the bugs and try to fix 'em.

[JebKeb]

Can't do dev until I get 1.1. Closing this thread, because it's so ancient.

Uuhhh, the thread isn't closed.
