[1.8.1-1] [PLEASE FORK ME] Kopernicus & KittopiaTech

[Jognt]

There is a bug in the current TWP version that messes up a lot of mods, I suggest rolling back to the previous version until it is dealt with. 

[schwank]

Hi all. Is there a bug with this version that is causing crazy lag when you get near the ground? I'm having crazy FPS drop when landing on any planet including Kerbin.

I've got a black sky problem, kopernicus spammed a lot of NRE in ksp.log, like this

[EXC 11:41:42.791] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
	Kopernicus.Components.SharedScaledSpaceFader.Update ()

 

[Maelstrom Vortex]

Yeah, i got that as well. Patch actually made it worse as recommended by  a prior user. To the point it would not load. Makes me wish I could simply disable its logging. The patch appears to have destroyed my save file.

Further research has validated a conflict between this version of transfer window planner and Koppernicus. Regrettable. This is likely the cause of the above poster's NRE's also. Reverted to old twp

Verified patch is actually safe and effective.. highly recommend. Purely TWP causing the issues on my end.

I saw you got it sorted, there's a step-by-step on how to do it 5 posts above yours on this page though.

Well if you manage to actually splash down you can probably complete them. If you've found some spots of water, be sure to take a selfie. You could even start a hypetrain by posting said selfie on the internets saying "Look, I found water!", without saying why the water is there . (But that'd be a bad person thing to do I think )

The patch posted fixed my FPS issue on landing, but I've gotten splashdown on Minmus flats. With SVE+SVT there is actually water being rendered on the flats, albeit in an epileptic inducing flickering. Does anyone know a way to reduce the sea level of a body, or remove the texture rendering, with a patch to Kopernicus?

I had to add a placeholder ocean to Minmus in Alien Space Programs to deal with home world frame rate issues. The solution involved enlarging Minmus ever so slightly to cover all of the water.

		Mods

			VertexHeightOffset

…or something like this. +10 metre radius.

I'm having an issue which seems to be linked to switching stars in map view. It causes my vessel to overheat and explode while sitting on the launchpad, often times displaying a temperature of infinity!

Logs:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/8w7abk8ajiw68vs/Logs-Kopernicus.zip/file

My suspicion is this is somehow linked to ModularflightIntegrator, but I could certainly be wrong. 

Only mods installed are the most recent releases of:

• Module manager
• Kopernicus
• ModularFlightIntegrator
• To Boldly Go

this is on a fresh install of KSP, as I've been trying to isolate this bug for a few days now.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm going to have to bump this again.

Playing with star luminosity and isolation is somewhat mitigating the issue but not eliminating it. I'm running out of ideas.

Cheers, I'll give this a shot, didn't think about enlarging the terrain. Spent hours trying to find ways to reduce sea levels, there are parameters for ocean height in Kopernicus, but didn't seem to do anything, also spent some time researching adjusting sea level but still not sure how Kopernicus determines sea level. Also determined that the texture is the water shader from Scatterer, not SVE+SVT.

I removed Kopernicus, OPA and SVT for the time being (I like my pretty KSP), and it ate one of my stations in Kerbin orbit randomly o.0. 

[Vortinium]

I'm trying to make a City-Wide planet in Kopernicus but I have a problem with the texture of some of my 3d models.

When I load them in Blender or unity the UV works but when they appear on my planet everythings seems offset and with the wrong size. (picture below)

I was also wondering if I can change the Scatters spawning distance vertically independently of the XY plane.

I also want my building to emit Light, How do I do it ?

Some of my building are spawning inside other building, can I avoid that ?

Finally when I'm in orbit I've got those Bump on the side of my planet do it have to do with the offset of my Vertex Height map or the planet'sNormal map ?

Thanks for all your help so far.

Preface Aspie disclaimer: this is NOT about any "demanding", "pushing", or whatsoever, just a simple polite question by a fellow addicted player  

I recently had to remove Kopernicus as a dependency for SVT due to the known issues with BG's surface features.

Now all CB's terrains look bland, bleh. I don't like it all.  

Any chance you guys will have a fixed Kopernicus version available in the foreseeable future (I'm aware of the work around, but as the name says, it's a workaround, not a solution)?

Nothing against SQUAD, but they say KSP 1.8 will incorporate Unity upgrade to the underlying engine of the game to Unity 2019.2

Spoiler

https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/187834-ksp-loading-the-ksp-franchise-expands/

From personal life experience I take it that it will take months for our modders to catch up, provided they find the time, energy, and most important the incentive - again! - to adapt to the new version, in particular with KSP 2. on the horizon.

Sigh...

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts, much appreciated

Preface: this is NOT about any "demanding", "pushing", or whatsoever, just a simple polite question by a fellow addicted player  

I recently had to remove Kopernicus as a dependency for SVT due to the known issues with BG's surface features.

Now all CB's terrains look bland, bleh. I don't like it all.  

Any chance you guys will have a fixed Kopernicus version available in the foreseeable future (I'm aware of the work around, but as the name says, it's a workaround, not a solution)?

Nothing against SQUAD, but they say KSP 1.8 will incorporate Unity upgrade to the underlying engine of the game to Unity 2019.2

Which known issue do you refer to?

Massive FPS drop with landed vessels, down do about 1 FPS sometimes, if BG surface features are active.

P.S.: I'm really sad, KSP w/o SVT sucks   And new textures in 1.8? Tbh, I trust our fellow modders more than Squad, no offense.

I have a compiled version of Kopernicus with the FPS drops fixed, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share it.

[VoidSquid]

Thanks, appreciated, but that might lead to unsupportable forks, seen that only too often in the past.

And that "fix", that's not a true solution, just a workaround, unfortunately.

At any rate, thanks for the efforts, @coyotesfrontier

afaik that bug is fixed in the current master branch, you could compile it yourself, try the bandaid patch in my sig, or wait for an official update.

If the master branch can be just compiled and used - what is stopping the actual fixed release?

Then I'm probably blind:

Master branch says last commit 30.7.2019.

Follow up regarding Kopernicus and SVT:

I value these too much, if there's no true solution, I'll abandon BG features to have my Kopernicus and SVT back.

Guys: thanks, you rock!

Hi, I've just started playing with Kopernicus and I have noticed that when you are in a hyperbolic solar orbit I only get a short stub of a trajectory line, which only stretches back from the craft towards the sun (on the outbound leg at least) is there any way  (mod or config) to get a trajectory line which shows which direction I am currently heading and where I will end up?

Also distant stars implemented with Kopernicus, are they in a very slow orbit around the sun or are they fixed in place?

I've never experienced your first issue, so I have no answer for that.

Regarding your second question, as far as I know, they are in slow orbits.  As I understand it, everything orbits around one central body, typically the Sun.  However, not long ago Kopernicus introduced the ability to use custom orbital periods, so perhaps they can be put into a fixed position by setting the orbital period to 0.  I don't know of any mods that actually do that, however.

(edit)

It just occurred to me that setting the orbital period to 0 is going in the wrong direction.  To effectively fix a body's position, the orbital period would have to be set to an insanely large value.
