King Arthur Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Planetshine had its original dev, Valerian, show up earlier saying that he intends on releasing an update for 1.8, so I would hold off on you forking that for now to save everyone unnecessary confusion.

I'm reaching out to him as well as all of the above modders, and if they don't like what I'm doing releases will stop. If I'm interpreting his post right, he's basically coming back because no one else is doing it, which I would happily do for him in his place. At any rate there can't be much confusion because my builds don't even use the same name. Heck they don't even look in the same place for configs. You need my symbolic link tool just to make them work with the old configs, and it's hit and miss. You know what you are getting into if you download these, and no dev is going to mistake a report on these for his own product. It'd be pretty unthinkable when the name, configs, and even the logger warns him about every bit of this. At any rate my planetshine build, named "MyPlanetIsShiny" just dropped. Same instructions. https://github.com/R-T-B/MyPlanetIsShiny Edited October 20, 2019 by R-T-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to me, it worked before the renaming... complications lol. Edited October 20, 2019 by R-T-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to me, it worked before the renaming... complications lol. So I used the 0.6.1 version and ran the CMD file, and it created a folder named "scatterer". I go inside it, and I see shortcuts to scatterer's config... Click on one, and I get the error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\scatterer\config (or icon/shaders) is not accessible. The name of the file cannot be resolved by the system. Do I need to have scatterer already installed? (Keep in mind I am not a mod developer by any means and have exactly zero idea how I would even begin to code for Unity/KSP. I just find bugs.)

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Looks like my symbolic links are broken. It's my renaming tools that's causing all of this, the one that attempts to link the new system to the old configs. I'll have a fix in a moment. I hate symbolic links in windows but they really are the best way to do this. 3 minutes ago, zit said: Do I need to have scatterer already installed?

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) 11 minutes ago, zit said: yeah KSP is blackscreening now Yeah, broken symbolic links'll do that. It's looking for files that don't exist, kinda like a black hole. The issue wasn't my compile but rather my linking tool making broken symbolic links (shortcuts). I run a linux build server and unfortunately, linux uses a different syntax for shortcuts/symbolic links than windows and it screwed me up. The irony is, I did not detect this because linux works fine. That's a first. All my builds were affected too. Please redownload latest hotfixes, everything is good now though you will have to delete the old directories (scatterer/Skedaddle and Planetshine/MyPlanetIsShiny, both). Let's get this to actually run on Windows. Just having Linux support is a little lackluster. PS: Thanks for being my first bugtester. You don't know it, but you just saved about 6 repos I am managing from a very embarassing mistake... lol. Edited October 20, 2019 by R-T-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zit Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I just wish Squad would implement a stock version of scatterer. Because it just looks so much better when the atmosphere hazes all around the planet and not just on the edges. Planets look like this: Not this!

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Scatterer and planetshine and my complete mod stack just loaded on my windows box. I guess that's a good sign? Must've fixed the path bug. Try the latest. EDIT: Well dang. Now they are loading but failing to find the configs. When will the pain from this rename end? It was working lol. EDIT: This is the issue: I guess I can't do my config inporter afterall. Damn. Let me think on this. For right now, you might try deleting the "scatterer" directory and seeing if maybe it just works anyways.

If so, try deleting the scatterer folder and leaving just the "Skeddaddler" folder. I am new to modding and the error indicates that maybe the link idea I had is confusing the game. I have a hunch though it might not even be needed. If so, that's just one less step to install, so that'd be fine. I could delete that major PITA finally. Also, it looks like the first line in scatterer's config.cfg file needs to be capitalized. I'll make a relase correcting that, but you could also just try it yourself while you wait.

DaniDE Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Dunno what you guys are talking about, but I downloaded this as v 0.61 and it worked out of the box - that or I have a mild stroke and just perceive things that are not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. You didn't run my "config linker" tool as instructed, did you? LOL. That confirms what I thought. My tool is breaking things rather than working as intended and... doing anything good. I'm, removing it. Good job not reading the manual, it saved you today. Edited October 20, 2019 by R-T-B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jognt Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Just a heads-up: in your posts you talk about skedaddle, skeedaddle, and skedaddler. Is this for a specific reason or hype-typos?

I think that'd just be a typo as I work off a coding frenzy. Skedaddler is probably because someone told me I should've named it that and now I can't get it out of head.

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 To be fair I use intentionally bizzare names to make it hard to miss in the logs when these things inevitabily get reported upstream.

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 At any rate, it's broken right now. DO not download until morning. The machine renaming has introduced so many bugs, I can't begin to fix them all. I need to see if there's a better way to tackle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-T-B Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Nah, it's the renaming. It's looking for config nodes that don't exist. I have a build that might work, but I'm not uploading it this time until I'm sure. I'll post a link with screenshot proof soon. I never imagined a name change could be so hard.
