JoolPlus: Kopernicus Edition [ALPHA RELEASE!]

Sylandro · January 4, 2015

Can we at least have the version you currently have working so I can implement it into the Kopernicus Core?

No thanks, JoolPlus will be it's own independent mod.

It'd be funny if there was some way you could make Manley actually say things on occasion.

I actually had a easter egg idea for Manley using Kerbal Constructs, a giant Scott Manley head on Manley.

Can you perhaps make a guide for installing it with other planet packs so people don't get confused, then?

Also I can confirm that Kerbal Konstructs does work on Kopernicus planets, I added two mass drivers to Verviedi.

Can you please release a beta? I want some gas giants with actual moons to play with

Alright, since you guys are really bugging me with this, here's a real early beta of JoolPlus: Kopernicus Edition. No Ioryion. Yet.

It's really glitchy and Cyrion is really rocky, along with Manley. The only actual working moons, i guess are Rocko and Belenus. (that trailing atmosphere can be glitchy at times) Also, there's some minor visual enhancements to existing planets, Jool has a halo ring and Eeloo has a comet tail.

Enjoy!

Yay. I'll update Kopernicus Core to support it.

You didn't do the normals right, you're supposed to do them in the Kopernicus config. There's a guide on my thread.

Could you help tweak some things in it? I will give some credit to you.

By the way, Belenus' texture just a recolored Io texture from a Celestia pack. I recommend getting a 2K Io texture and editing it as necessary.

I also highly recommend simply depending on the Kopernicus Core so you don't have compatibility/legal issues.

By the way, Belenus' texture just a recolored Io texture from a Celestia pack. I recommend getting a 2K Io texture and editing it as necessary.

I also highly recommend simply depending on the Kopernicus Core so you don't have compatibility/legal issues.

Alright, man. But i'm keeping Belenus's texture. It's too iconic to use.

I'm going to test it out now.

Also why are you including unused textures? Seems weird to me.

The unused textures (Pippitus and Orbornio) are for future gas giants to be added in later versions. Also Ioryion will be included in the later version.

I landed on Belenus. For some reason the atmosphere didn't start until 32 kilometers and the atmosphere mesh was glitchy. Other than that, it was quite fun. I was using DRE and FAR.

Great respect to you, man! Belenus is my favorite out of all the moons (currently) in JoolPlus, because there's alot of great views on the surface. For good views, unobstructed by the trailing atmosphere, land near the terminator of Belenus.

Meanwhile, i'm currently reworking Manley and Cyrion.

Also, have old Belenus (haven't changed much) and old Wexx.

Other than glitchy lighting in scaledspace and Belenus' atmosphere color/height/pressure, everything works great, even with DRE + FAR.

Where is the download link?

_Augustus_ · January 10, 2015

The download link is here.

Sylandro · January 10, 2015

Download link is now included in the main thread. Beware guys, it's highly experimental and very glitchy!

Sylandro · January 10, 2015

Doublepost: Do you guys prefer Wexx with a white ring or do you like Wexx just the way it is?

Wexx is fine how it is.

Sylandro · January 11, 2015

Wexx is fine how it is.

Alright, but i don't know how to technically change a color of an unlit ring, so you have to deal with it for now. Anyway, quick release, Kopernicus Alpha 2

CHANGELOG:

New textures for Manley and Cyrion!
Cyrion is finally landable now, no going below sea level.
Manley's radius tweaked a bit
Temporary white ring for Wexx

Getting an error on the download link

Sylandro · January 11, 2015

Link fixed.

Sylandro · January 11, 2015

DP - Alright, here's what's coming for you in the next version of JoolPlus:

- Wexx's gravity well is somewhat increased a bit

- Ioryion and Huygens

- And some outer planets!

Sylandro · January 15, 2015

TP - Work on Ioryon is finished. I had to get a new texture for it, but it looks similar to the original moon, albeit with less craters. Snapped a few good shots of Wexx. New version may come around tomorrow.

Gravity down there is a bit higher than the Mun's but it's still a easy moon to land on.

Did you forget to include a RSS config? I gave it a test run and while all the planets show up in scaledspace, Rocko looks like minmus when you get close to land, Belenus just looks like a glowing ball of bright light and appeared to be unlandable, and I think Cyrion looked like eeloo. Manley was an extremely mountainous grey moon while I kind of liked but I'm not sure if that was intended or not since all the other planets seemed to be out of sorts.

I'll file up the RSS Config in the next release.

And Sylandro, you don't need to do that, just ask people to download Kopernicus Core.
