Wait, what? 5 days until what? 1.0?

5 days ago was the last comment by capt

1.0 is set to release on april 27th

[xXIndestructibleEVAXx]

Oh. Sorry, it felt like a long time, didn't mean to be impatient.

[CaptRobau]

I'm waiting for the latest prerelease of Kopernicus. It could be that the devs of that are waiting for the release of 1.0 though (to make sure that something they made isn't going to be broken by an update that almost everyone will update to immediately).

[Eudae55]

It makes sense to wait for 1.0 before making any new releases. I'm still stuck with project work in RL for a little while longer so new moons are on hold still. Once that is over and done with, I'm still very committed to making sure OPM is a complete and finished mod.

Whats your secret in making planet textures?

1. Whats your secret in making planet textures?

Procedural terrain generation software, Photoshop and creativity.

If you're referring to my post, it's the Endurance Interstellar mod.

For some reason, out of every atmospheric mod ive tried with opm, none of them have worked. I place the new .cgfs GasGiants and Tekto straight into the BoulderCo folder, is this not how its supposed to be done?

The cfgs need to be in 'GameData/BoulderCo/Clouds'.

So what are the chances of this working out of the box when 1.0 drops?

One can always be hopeful, right?

all planet packs will have to be tested first, there's no guarantee that it will work straight out of the box but we all have out fingers crossed, same goes with my pack or any other pack available. We are all crossing our fingers that our packs work, but you'll have to try it and see, or wait until an update goes out.

[crazyewok]

Yeah. I don't think Kopernicus will break, but nobody knows. But DDS-Loading with Kittopia could be a problem, because it uses DDSLoader and 1.0 won't need a DDSLoader anymore.

Could the DDS loader just be ...you know...removed from the mod?

I added support for the Outer planets Mod to Interstellar Extended. I haven't been able to test it myself, but it 'should' work.

Ok OPM works for 1.0

[WolfCoder]

I can confirm OPM works in 1.0 (*JUST* OPM, I have not installed any optional/recommended mods), however, I have not attempted the new planet resource scan feature on any of the outer planets. It looks like there is a catch-all for resources defined in the Squad folder:

GLOBAL_RESOURCE
{
	ResourceName = Ore
	ResourceType = 0

	Distribution
	{
		PresenceChance = 100
		MinAbundance = 1
		MaxAbundance = 15
		Variance = 50
		Dispersal = 3
	}
}

It looks like you'll get default mining abundances for the outer planets until unique defines are written for them in this mod. The file also eliminates mining from "water" (Eve, etc.), but it might be possible to mine resource out of any "water" in the outer planets (Tekto?) because no exceptions exist yet for them.

[CaptRobau]

Yeah it seems to be fine, or at the very least not completely broken.

cookies to the first person to tell us how Tekto's atmosphere behaves

Where are the current DL links, it just downloads the same file as before

[DaveyLeo10]

This probably sounds dumb but is there anyway to change the colour of Neidon to the same colour as Neptune? Literally just because it's my favourite planet. I've tried 'Alt + N' when in map mode but I'm not sure what to do!

you will need to change the color of the texture file itself (at least I don't think there's another way)

plus there are a couple of cfg settings you should tweak in order to get everything fitting in with the new texture, like the color of the orbit and other minor features

feel free to ask if you want more info

The old 0.90 version is still compatible with 1.0

[Olympic1]

I updated the Regolith configs (v4) for KSP 1.0 and CRP 0.3.3. You can download them from HERE.

Because there is now a basic stock resource system in KSP, Regolith is temporarily disabled but the configs are the same way as stock cfg's.

I don't know if the stock resources (ore) are automatically added to custom planets. I'll need to check this when I'll get home.

Thanks I'll definitely put those in the next release. I'm probably going to do a beta release for 1.7. The real official 1.0 compatible version of Kopernicus is about two weeks away, while the development version should be playable a bit sooner. No doubt there will also be lots of mod incompatibilities and other oversights caused by this mod's big switch to a new format and a new version of KSP. Better to catch those now then released countless hotfixes for 1.7.
