NovaSilisko Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Next release will remove the source files, as they\'re pretty much dead weight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThatCrazyPilot Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Speaking of mars, are you going to add a rover-type lander? That would be awesome! As far as I know, none has ever made a mod with rovers in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, none has ever made a mod with rovers in it.Because they\'re really stupid right now. No wheel physics or ways to move them without rockets. They just explode after 2 seconds of relatively fast travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Next version will have the Eggshell, new engines, and a pontoon for ocean landings (since my solar system has three bodies with liquid on them to land on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he commented on the subject?He likes the concept, but hasn\'t made any specific statements other than he\'ll probably name a planet Eve.

comradephil Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I\'m sure that at some point planets will be moddable though, it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmiteZero Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Mod-able planets.. creating your own.. No way.Firstly, this isn\'t SPORE. Secondly, see item #1.Too difficult and outside the scope of the game and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfinn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I\'ll remain adamant against that idea for reasons I can\'t put my finger on. I just hate the sound of it.Uhm... why?I\'m not confrontational, I\'d just like to know why.The technical difficulty of making planets moddable depends on what kind of code Harv and the others will use for creating them: basically, to make a planet you\'d need a way to load custom shaders that draw the surface and the elevation map, the other stuff like orbital and atmospheric data is just some variables in a text file. Outside of this technical problem (which might very well be hard), what would be the cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of this technical problem (which might very well be hard), what would be the cons?I feel like it would brutally murder what the game originally was about...the small Kerbol system and it\'s mysteries being explored by Kerbal-kind.However, extrasolar star systems that are user made? That\'s fine with me.Just, if it does get implemented, expect dick planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That\'s fine with me.Oh, I think that we agree on this. The basic planets should be fixed, to allow for a good artistic direction: KSP will present itself through the whole of the Kerbol system. The mod star systems should certainly be other systems.I\'d also agree with having to 'complete the game', at least in part, to unlock other systems (I don\'t mean 'discovering warp drive', which doesn\'t have a place in KSP as I see it...)Just, if it does get implemented, expect dick planets.I fear you\'re right here too. But I think I\'d take the risk of giving the trolls another thing to play with (and soon get tired of), to allow the possibility of modeling the real-life extrasolar systems that are being discovered, for instance...

Spoot Knight Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Based on what HarvesteR\'s concept was, that\'s kind of along the lines of what one of the effects would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmiteZero Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Easiest way is to specify distance from local star, body mass, body radius, angle and initial velocity. The best way is much more involved, for H. if he wants to make it easy for everyone else, for everyone else if H. is lazy.It\'s outside the scope and intention of the game, IMO and let\'s have no more talk of it.
