Salamander

Hello, sorry if this has already been answered, but should I still download [http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-23-rasterpropmonitor-b9-aerospace-fix/] if I plan on using B9 with this mod, or is that fixed?

The forum-switchover threw me for a loop, and I also have had some other things going on that drew me away from KSP in general. I still keep up with the development. I'd love to help out with another issue, but we need more content before that can happen.

It\'s come to my attention that the link I posted is now broken. Here is a mediafire mirror that should work better: http://www./?jesb8jf6awz82wi If this one goes belly up too let me know, I\'ll keep re-uploading it.

[delurk] I approve of this venture [/delurk]

Yeah, it does look pretty bare, but that\'s mostly because I got burned out and didn\'t want to go back over it and add style elements. Perhaps for the next issue we can create an overall guide, to keep fonts, sizes and spacing standard and then delegate pages to whoever wants to help produce it. For example, the front cover is primary red Trajan Pro with the title in 36pt, and the rest in 24pt. I\'m thinking we\'ll just commence with the next one whenever we have enough articles.

Posting this PM here so I don\'t forget about it Good article btw. RP Name: John Kerk Handle: Selrahc4040 Organization: Apogee Science Inc. Title: The Curse of the Munolith Article: Yes, I meant to say 'Jedediah Kerman'. (click to show/hide) The Curse of the Munolith By Jedediah Kerman For years we have looked at the mysterious black monuments that dot our world and mun as mere tourist attractions, pieces of ancient Kerbinacana. But today, ladies and gents, a shocking new discovery comes from a small branch of Apogee Science, the branch in charge of the research of atomic particles. John Kerk, the leader of the project, was kind enough to give me a bare-bones explanation of why we in the Industry should be wary of these totems. 'It\'s really quite simple.' Mr. Kerk explained to me. 'The Munoliths consist of a previously unknown material called \'Muonium\' which give off high amounts of Muon radiation. The Muon particle is a highly dense, negatively charged particle that has the capability to disrupt ionic bonds, like the ones that hold our fuel molecules together.' 'I don\'t think I like where this is going.' I said to the doctor. 'Believe me, you shouldn\'t' He replied. 'The Muon particle, though incredibly dense, is still small enough to go through the walls of standard KSP fuel tanks. Once inside, the particles disrupt the fuel\'s bonds, turning it into a highly toxic and, unfortunately, not burnable sand. This is, obviously, highly detrimental to all forms of engines, causing the fuel-expulsion valves to clog and the engine to stop.' This message disturbed me, but John assured me that his branch was working on designing a material to dispel Muon radiation. But in the meantime, those of you who rely on LFE\'s to do your dirty work, I recommend you steer clear o these black behemoths, lest you, too become a victim of the Curse of the Munolths.

edit: Better mirror here Cover had to be saved as a .bmp, cause it kept crashing paint.net for some unfathomable reason, so the set is odd numbered, and it\'s in a zip file because .cbz (comic) files don\'t read filenames in the proper order, and that\'s the only way I\'d be able to turn it into a two page flip book anyway. So here\'s the next best thing. Just use your image viewer, and the front and back pages are cut from the rest. If it looks like shite, that\'s because you\'re not zoomed in to the proper distance (100%). It\'s an odd size for a monitor, but it\'s the way I like my newspapers: tall and wide. Cardgame, I hope you\'re not terribly offended that I used your art for the cover. I put you at the head of the attribs. list in case you\'re wondering. If anyone has any problems with the hosting, I\'ll put up some better mirrors tomorrow. Spark a cigar, gents, we have ourselves a 'magazine'.

After a day and a half straight of hand setting pages in paint.net, all eleven pages are done, and not too shabby if I do say so myself. I will post the finished PDF here as soon as I find a good freeware program that understand the concept 'separate files, separate pages'. For now I am stepping out, and will complete this when I get back to my house.

Okay, cutoff has just occurred. Any stuff after this point will go into the next issue. Speaking of the next issue, I\'ve learned a great deal these past 24 hours, and we should discuss some changes before forging ahead with the next issue. The first is submissions. It would make it a LOT easier on me if people who wanted content put in would stick to a rubric and fill out all aspects: RP Name: Handle: Organization: Title of piece: Article text: Pictures to be attached: (To give you an idea, I am working with 1680x1050 Height/Width. Pretty much my monitor flipped sideways. Don\'t give me any huge screens. Also if you have a preference as to where the image goes, please specify.) This will cut down greatly on copying and pasting so I can get right to formatting.

There\'s always a straggler Don\'t worry, I\'ve already got a lawyer ad image cooked up, and it\'s pretty similar to that. I\'m in the process of untangling this whole thing, proofreading all the articles and whatnot, so if you have a finished ad image or something else that\'s ready to go, I\'ll just toss it in here and I\'ll find a place for it. I\'ll put another post on here later in the day to let people know that this is the REAL cutoff, and that will come when I get to the last part, which is the table of contents and the actual page numbers for everything, which are still as of this moment in limbo.

Ah, something in the vein of Clancy\'s new techno-thrillers I see? Interesting. Lot\'s of carnage and order giving. Very true to the genre. 'Fire! Fire everything!' 'Uh sir that is not a real command, what are you doing...' 'Wait a minute, how did a golden retriever sneak onto the bridge?' 'More importantly, how did it steal an officer\'s dress uniform?'

Siiiiiiick. Alright, I\'m collating all this into raw text and stacking the editor. Should be done sometime tomorrow if not tonight.

I\'m about to light this candle. I could use your NovaSilisko interview Radion, and Dr. Burst, you\'re the editor in chief so you should probably write a column of some sort introducing the magazine, to go on the second page.

Reminder: Five days till production. If you want to submit something, now would be the time to do it. I\'ve got a few ads, but we\'re gonna need a few more to pad it out.

I know what you mean
