  1. Help please:

    i can't get my procedural moons to be the same from close up and from distance. I've read and watched lots of tutorials, but they do things differently, so it's confusing. Also, downloaded some planets packs and tried some reverse engineering, but with limited success.

    I guess i don't understand relations between height maps, normal maps and all the stuff in the PQS section of the cfg.

    Let's say i wan't to make small moon, perfectly flat surface,  with only one mountain near equator. Is that possible, and how?

    Why is there an alien engine in this pack?

    I was working on a contract pack featuring series of missions to investigate various anomalies in Kerbol system. Alien engine was part of that. I gave up on the project, but the engine is still there in case I decide to continue development.

    Pirates of the Keribbean v0.2

    Where there is space there are space pirates.

    This is a fun mod, it adds parts for creating pirate spaceships. So far, there are only dozen or so parts, enough to create simple spaceplanes and rockets. 

    Pirates have unique high-tech (magic) propulsion system, so they never run out of fuel (always active fuel generator).

    So raise your black flags and off to explore Kerbol system.

    Instalation:

    1. extract PoK.zip to GameData folder

    2. have fun!

    Quick bug report: the Iguana Radon engine doesn't quite stage right. Well, sort of - it turns on correctly and fires and everything, but there is no little fuel bar next to the rocket icon in the staging bar.

    There is no fuel bar for the stock xenon engine too. 

    I'm guessing that the reason for this is that ion engines are defined as EngineType = Electric in ModuleEnginesFX, as opposed to EngineType = LiquidFuel or EngineType = SolidBooster. which do show fuel bar.

    Holy. Crap.

    ...

    Thank you for taking your time to review my mod, much appreciated.

    I especially appreciate criticism, because it helps me focus on things that need to be improved. I am well aware of most of those things, but, as you noticed, this mod grew so big that it is hard for me deal with all those small issues. It is no fun t all, I prefer creating new stuff. Still, I try to spend a couple of hours before publishing each update reviewing old parts and polishing .cfgs.

    I like your suggestion to make lights flicker and cracked, I'll definitely try that.

    As for 'too much orange', I'm afraid I can't help you with that. Rust comes in many different colors, I tried creating couple of different rust textures and this is the one that stuck in. To avoid having too many similar textures I started retexturing parts and added some semi rusted parts and damaged paint on others. I'll keep doing that in the future, but most of the parts will still have the same main rust texture.

    Thanks again, and have fun with rusty rockets!

     

  6. I'm working on a new update, so here is a little preview, if anyone is interested.

    I've been shifting focus from solar panels to landing legs and other useful stuff, but finally decided to make a set of almost completely useless parts.

    The next update will be called "Let there be light", and it's main feature will be, you guessed it, lights. 

    Well, not so much lights as emissive textures. The parts that i'm working on will not have light object on them, so they will not cast light on nearby objects or themselves. They'll just glow in dark. 

    Here are some examples (work in progress):

    The only practical use for these parts that i can think of is easier approach and docking on dark sides of planets, but practicality was never my thing. I just want my spacecraft to look cool. And glow in dark.

    I think I'll finish this in a week or two, in the meantime, any ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

    Greetings,

    v1.5 is up!

    what's new:

    - improved textures

    - various tweaks

    - new parts: 

                      - size 0 tanks and decoupler

                      - very small command pod

                      - large liquid fuel tank

                      - turbojet engine

                      - inline cockpit             

                      - hypersonic air intake

    That's probably it, maybe I forgot something, but oh well...

    Enjoy!

    In fact, Pluto is too small to significantly perturb Neptune's orbit. The observed perturbations turned out to be an observation error or a mistake in the maths

    Don't know about that, just copied it from wikipedia. Anyway, my theory is that someone used Kopernicus mod to upgrade solar system.

  9. This wouldn't be the first time a planet was discovered this way: 

    In the 1840s, Urbain Le Verrier used Newtonian mechanics to predict the position of the then-undiscovered planet Neptune after analysing perturbations in the orbit of Uranus. Subsequent observations of Neptune in the late 19th century led astronomers to speculate that Uranus's orbit was being disturbed by another planet besides Neptune. That was Pluto.
