Planet Overhaul Dev Thread

[Mrcarrot]

A new idea I've been toying around with: Built-in EVE clouds! Disclaimer: does not actually use EVE, nor does it actually have clouds. I just put cloud noise into my gas giant textures for those who can't run EVE, like myself.

My brother has agreed to a short Kopernicus tutorial with me, so if I get lucky, I should have another dev soon!

And.... he says something about "text coding" and promptly begins visual coding. I am currently working on a plugin to help mod makers easily calculate long distances when making planet packs. I have decided to reveal small pieces of information about Kirothoum's moon throughout the day. First bit of info: 

name = Ekham

KIROTHOUM NEWS

A new moon was recently sighted around our planet. Bob Kerman, the discoverer, named it "Ekham". Scientists report that "we have never seen this before because we haven't looked up" and that "our better cameras are attached to fixed tripods, which we can't swivel upward". Wernher Von Kerman, chief rocket scientist at KSC, is currently working on a solution. More news can be expected later today.

KIROTHOUM NEWS: SPECIAL EDITION

KIROTHOUM'S MOON IN SHOCKING DETAIL

Ekham, the recently discovered moon of Kirothoum, was just shown in extreme detail by Wernher Von Kerman and his team of specialists. When asked how he got the hi-def kamera pointed at the sky, he said, "I picked up der tripod and pointed it at der sky." When we translated his Kgerman, we figured out that he just picked up the tripod and pointed the whole mess directly at Ekham! Kerbals now look to the sky, and Wernher has just released a hopeful report of a "moving star" that he hopes is "a gas giant", whatever that means.

@SamBelanger has been given early access to this mod. You may ask, why?

1. He made Kirothoum's texture

2. It's his birthday

3. He can help test it

4. I felt like it

5. I'm not going to be the only one posting screenshots anymore

Any complaints may be kept to yourself.
