Larrt_M Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 In \GameData\StarSystems\Configdata you'll find a file named StarNames.cfgThere you can add new stars to your system.OK, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCreator Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This is amazing! It certainly provides a nice template for a galaxy based model for new planets/stars. It might also be possible to make stars and planets procedurally, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBard Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Looks nice to play with Interstellar and MKS, but I was wondering... why are the stars in orbits? Would it be possible for them to be stationary relative to each other or is there a game limitation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon 720 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I will get this tomorrow and turn my second gas giant into a brown dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nubeees Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Its seems like orbits are WAAAAY broken... I tried to achieve an orbit around a star, and couldn't. Also, I edited Minmus to be around Dolas, and still, if I tried to hyperedit my ship to it, the ship would have an orbit for a split second, then fly off...

Would it be possible for them to be stationary relative to each other or is there a game limitation?Stars aren't stationary relative to each other IRL, but even if they were, i doubt it would be feasible in game because that would require that the space between the stars not belong to any particular body. This would mean no gravity outside a star's SOI, which would lead to perfectly stationary objects and other exploity things. Also, why would anyone not want a black hole?

nubeees Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Seemed fine with anything orbiting Kerbol.Plus I tried using an infinite fuel cheat and the largest engine in the game (which is endlessly fun), and it still didn't work quite right. XD*editP.S. this mod is still amazing regardless of glitches and kinks that need worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything worked fine earlier today. On what version are you trying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what version are you trying?Ok, my dirty safegame fix seemed to cause some problems. Changing two lines of code made me capable of leaving to interstellar space again an get into orbit of Dolas. The orbit drivers still seem to behave a bit weird though. I'm going to check how it works in 0.23.5 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll spit through my code and get you guys an updated version tomorrow. (everything was working great untill I started fixing stuff to make it work with 0.24 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalculusWarrior Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Welp, this is the mod that inspires me to download KSP Interstellar and use it. Actual interstellar travel, hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tygoo7 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 This mod looks really cool! One question though, do science archives work? They don't work with PF CE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasarrgames Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 This looks so darn cool! I would love to try it out! I just have a few questions: 1. I see the kerbol system now has an orbit path line. Does it now orbit around the center of the galaxy? That would be so amazing!2. do the other stars orbit kerbol, or do they orbit the center of the galaxy? (if question 1 is true)3. I heard something about the sun now being a black hole. What do you mean by this? Is kerbol now a black hole!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) With planetfactory and this mod, could I recreate the Abaddon star system using this mod?Also, how can I get rid of the stock blue and red stars? I want to make space for my own stars. Edited July 20, 2014 by Poryy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can.You can double left click on a planet or star or use the tab key to cycle through them. Edited July 20, 2014 by Larrt_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattivat Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Seems awesome. If you could include the option to add planets and moons within the same mod, it would be huge, as Planet Factory seems kinda dead and abandoned at the moment. One question: would it be possible for other stars to orbit the "black hole" on different planes? IMHO it would vastly improve believability if they were not orbiting on the same plane.
