VonFrank Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is there a list out there somewhere of all PQS mod functions that can be used in RSS? I ask this because I'm having difficulty understanding what each PQS mod within the RSS config actually does. Some are simple, but others are more difficult to understand.If there was some kind of documentation on this I feel it would greatly help people to be able to create their own configs.

Tellion Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Personally, I would absolutely love something like that too, but it surely is quite some work to make a proper documentation for all of them. Some information can be found on NathanKell's github and some is also buried in this thread and others. Also *somewhere* there was a download floating around containing all the PQSMods in the default planets - though that is obviously not helpful in understanding how to use them precisely ._.

From that you could figure out a number of things. I've gotta try and find it somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Here's that zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x95wxmnbd7metxs/Components.zip?dl=0As for docs...yeah. Mea culpa. Some of it should be on the RSS wiki, but I certainly don't have much in the way of *practical* documentation for the various Mods and their values; some I still don't know what they do, and some I do but the interaction of all the settings is...complex. A lot of them are based on LibNoise, so you can look at the LibNoise glossary for what various terms mean (like frequency, persistence, etc).

NathanKell Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just wanted to let you know that Rezzy has been setting up a website for us, for all things Realism Overhaul and related: realismoverhaul.com. Please check it out; it's very much a work in progress but will soon have many useful things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouzfun Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 i'm dumb, and all i could find in google was the fact that spaceX makes texas launch site official. How do i change launch site back to original KSP one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Um, if you're using Earth, you can't. There is no launch site in southern Colombia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAD Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hello Nathan Kell! You have some superb mods here, I've been using Realism Overhaul for about a month now and am having a blast.I wrote an external program that searches for flybys in Kerbol System and now I am making a version that works for Real Solar System. I have a question: Earth's semimajor axis seems a bit small. In RealSolarSystem.cfg it's 149,494,366.257 km. I know the actual value varies a bit over time but the JPL value is 149,597,870.7km. This means the Earth's sidereal year in RSS is about 8 hours short. I can think of reasons you might tweak the values but I want to make sure it's deliberate. The other planets all closely match their actual values.Thanks for making these realism mods, they make an already exceptional game even better.

mouzfun Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Um, if you're using Earth, you can't. There is no launch site in southern Colombia.Yeah, i am dumb. Forgot to mention that i used 64k kerbin config (from Paul) and wasnt sure where to ask, i fugured it was a RSS feature so maybe you can help me.Edit: I think i fugured it out, if someone experience something like this, deleting cache seems to help (.obj files) Edited January 24, 2015 by mouzfun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually very useful.On a (somewhat) unrelated note, I've noticed that Phobos (Bop) and Deimos (Gilly) have very strange surfaces. They are like staircases with alternating sections of flat and slope. As far as I can tell, this happens when the heightmap has large sections of the same valued pixel, thus generating flat areas. Is there some PQS function to smooth out this effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoph Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Any plans on implementing new launch sites?

NathanKell Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 PLAD: I talked to eggrobin (who generated all the orbits off JPL data, albeit for barycentre) and he is looking into it. It might just be a typo. :]And thanks so much! mouzfun (and anyone else): whenever you swap between RSS and another config, if that config does not come with its own cache files, you will need to delete your cache and wait (for a long time...) as RSS regenerates it.TheKutKu: not yet, really.VonFrank: I have noticed that too. There's something screwy, but I haven't had a chance to investigate yet. I trust it is not PQS have a size minimum.Neoph: there's a guide on the RSS wiki, if you want to add it feel free! Can always use help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralathon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nathan, a couple of weeks back I had issues with doubled memory usage by RSS. Have you had any chance to look into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashaber Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) wow installed this today and teh earth is so big contracts dont line up (Orbits) before ships that would be able to goto the moon and back barely escape the atmo. is there a way to not expand the planet sizes and still get the textures?would love to use this mod... looks great! but then rl rockets made by FASA dont work like they were ment too. Mecury Rockets do not get to sub orbit and the gemini's run out of fuel way before they are ment too Edited January 26, 2015 by cashaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 cashaber, from the OP:For a list of recommended mods, and one built just for this, see the Realism Overhaul release thread.(emphasis original)You may also want RP-0 for career play.

mecki Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have the feeling that the Biomes might me a little bit off.Even when splashing down 80km east of Kourou I'm still in "Grassland"… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellion Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That is very often due to limited resolution of the biome maps which is of course very noticeable on planets multiple times the size of kerbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbgaming Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wow. This is an awesome mod. A VERY, VERY difficult mod, but amazingly fun. Hey, invention thrives on challenge.I do have some suggestions, and one bug report! First off, the glitch. Basically, Deimos is a Kraken. I was sending missions to Phobos, Deimos, and Mars for my channel. Phobos was an awesome landing, as was Mars. However, anywhere I landed on Deimos involved the ship sinking into the ground and magically exploding. Using quickload I landed all over, the entire thing appears broken. Is this a known issue?Now, my humble suggestions....MORE OBJECTS!!!More moons of the Gas Giants, first of all. Even the tiny ones are usually a lot bigger than Phobos and Deimos and would be great fun to try to land on. AND, Kuiper Belt objects!!! Pluto's moons, especially Charon, are also bigger than Phobos and Deimos so can be justified. Then we have Makemake, Eris, heck, even Sedna. Is it possible to reach these planets? Well, if it is, it would be insanely hard, but challenge makes it fun.Anyway, is this possible? I would try to make them myself if I could but I can't find any guides on planet creation.

Felger Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 That is very often due to limited resolution of the biome maps which is of course very noticeable on planets multiple times the size of kerbin.If you like, you could take the biomes that come with the game and upscale them to higher resolution (note that'll bring with it a higher memory load on the game) You may also need to go in and compare it to the height map and color map and make sure everything lines up still at high resolution.

There is a small x but it's in the middle of the ocean… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 No, biome maps in .90 are flipped but I forgot to also flip the x's position. Instead, just use Alt-F12 -> Show biome (you need to be in map view).srbgaming, welcome to the forums! And thanks so much!What's needed for more objects is Kopernicus, but development of that has slowed down quite a bit.As for Deimos, that is most odd. I really, really hope there isn't a minimum size for bodies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
