Doc Shaftoe Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 In that case, have you given any thought to Parallax 2.0 compatibility? I imagine it probably wouldn't be too difficult to implement the existing terrain scatters even if you are changing the worlds around a bit with Kopernicus. I have no idea what's involved with making brand new scatters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely won't be before this mod releases though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shaftoe Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) No worries, Parallax 2.0 is a very big leap. Although as long as the planets and biomes have the same names, it'll probably have compatibility out of the box.

G'th Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Minmus Ended up scaling it a bit too big, which as a consequence robs it of some of its dramatic heights and lows, but that will be adjusted in time. You'll also notice a cloud layer that's pretty visible; thats going to be replaced with a genuine atmosphere and thus scatterer...probably. I don't think anyone's actually ever used scatterer to give a moon a barely existent atmosphere, but it would be a lot better for my purposes to use it over an EVE hack.

Rutabaga22 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If minmus has an atmosphere could you give Tylo one? In one thread I heard someone say that it is weird a body that massive wouldn't have some atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make laythe have a duna-like atmosphere and make tylo the wet one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylo I plan on bringing closer to Iapetus which was, according to Nova, the general inspiration for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'th Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 The, I think, 6th iteration of Kerbin. This one I think I'm pretty satisfied with. It also has lore, which is going to be a thing I think. Obviously of course there's no scatterer work and the EVE effects are just copy/pasted in from Sol, and the normal still needs some work, but its come together really well today.

You'll come to see that I'm what one might call a perfectionist. Plus it also doesn't help that as I continue to work on these worlds I get better at it, so my earlier work starts to look worse to me than it did when I originally made it, making me want to re-do it. Which I'm about to do for Mun lol But on that note, here's the initial go at Duna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 That's great! JNSQ and KSRSS are so heavy these days, I really would love to go back to the stock system and not having it crash anymore because of excessive memory consumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm also big on accessibility, so in general it shouldn't be that much heavier than stock+OPM was, particularly if one chooses to skip or downgrade the other visual aspects like the eventual EVE and Parallax applications. 6 hours ago, MoeKitsune said: Will you be moving the orbit of Pol to make it closer to an Io analogue? Probably yeah Pol and Laythe will swap places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
