    Can you provide more detail?

    A question about simulating construction of a site: is there a way to show/hide statics on a timer? Like...start out showing the ruins of a destroyed VAB, and then after a certain time the final static appears. Just as a way to make it seem like something is being constructed on a site. Or maybe something with variants where the variants are the static in various stages of construction, timed to appear after x time passed?

    Roger. I pulled them off an old backup disc for use

    In the original Kerbin Side there were "Coastal Extras"--lighthouses, crates, docks, etc. Are those not included now?

    Shot from the hip with bad math. Let's try that again. If LiquidFuel is kerosene (C12H26) and glykerol is glycerol (C3H8O3), then you could link production up with TACLS and use: 2(C12H26) + 6(H2O) +9(O2) --> 8(C3H8O3) Have to check the densities of in game resources to balance the masses, but that seems like a reasonable formula

    As I have said previously, I would love to rewrite TBG in python (a language I am more comfortable in). It would allow for a lot more interesting things under the hood, but would make it harder for the casual player to make galaxies, so.... I did put a survey up soliciting direction, though. You'll note there's no choice for moons. That's because once all the procedural planet types are available, I can more easily turn moon generation on. BUUUT, I'm not really a Kopernicus savvy person that revels in figuring out all the knobs to turn to make procedural worlds. I'm much more interested in making sure the code is placing planets & moons into orbits that make sense given KSP physics. So if you feel like you're pretty OK at making procedural planets and want to help out, drop me a message.

    Hi. What did I miss? Eh, probably not much, right? Update to 0.4.1 is up! What does 0.4.1 bring? Well: 0.4.0 -Procedural kethane/methane worlds 0.4.1 -Fixed non-printing character in pqsTmp.txt file that cause Kopernicus to hang -Added template file and ability to make procedural maps for PsiCartographer -Reduced galaxy size by a lot (stars should be closer together) -dialed down the max number of stars made automatically -included an option to make a galaxy for use with Psi-Cartographer -Continued compatability with: -ResearchBodies -EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements & StockVisualEnhancements (clouds for procedural water, Eve, and kethane worlds) -Moon generation is still disabled -Keep an eye out for easter eggs on water worlds The big thing there (in my opinion) is the optional use of PsiCartographer. PsiCartographer is a fork if Sigma88's SigmaCartographer which was a fantastic tool for outputting various map types from KSP. What that means is that it could be used to output the maps so that procedurally made planets actually have something to look at when you are in the map screen. The original would always overwrite existing files, but the fork can check and see if a file already exists. Not gonna lie: running both Kopernicus and PsiCartographer can be slow the first time you load up a universe. On my machine, generating 43 stars and 321 planets took a little over 9 minutes for Kopernicus to finish saving cache files for each body, and 12 minutes for PsiCartographer to generate the images for 55 procedurally generated planets. After that first load of a universe, you need to quit and reload KSP in order for the planet textures to work. The good news is on my machine that second load only took 3 minutes (since all the bodies were cached and the textures for terrain all existed) You can choose not to use PsiCartographer, but the procedural worlds will look pretty bland from the map view. Note: the universe that comes with TBG 0.4.1 has been made assuming you're using PsiCartographer.

    Why? Has that person started a similar project?

    I recently made a dual prop powered hydrofoil, and am having a hard time getting some aspects of mechjeb working with it. In the past when making boats, I could use mechjeb's utilities to limit Q, which was an effective way to control the throttle (for complicated reasons setting a max speed would not work with hydrofoils). The breaking ground electric motors need an action group to let them be controlled via the throttle, and even though mechjeb correctly changes throttle settings the electric motors don't change their speed. I'm sure this must also be a problem people run into with prop planes. Any suggestions?

    Seems like @blspblackdeath hasn't been around lately, but I've been puttering along maintaining this. One of the things I've been working toward is the option to have the older parts show up and part variants. If I don't hear anything from blspblackdeath I'll look into releasing an unofficial update.

    v0.3.0.5f is almost 2 years out of date. We're on 0.3.9. Please download the latest release (link is on the first page of this topic) and try that.

    I looked closer at the info you uploaded (thanks for doing that, btw. It makes my job easier ) Can you confirm that GameData/To-Boldly-Go/Data_Folder/models/Monolith.mu exists? The logs make it seem like Kopernicus is trying to place a TBG easter egg on Chanddar IV (an Eve-like procedural planet), but the file is missing. FWIW I did a fresh install of TBG from the github release link and couldn't replicate your reported bug. That doesn't mean there's no bug--just means I haven't been able to replicate it

    Have you confirmed that it has frozen? Kopernicus only starts making the files for all stars/planets/moons after the KSP loading screens are done. This means you are left looking at a black screen. You can confirm that Kopernicus is busy making planets by looking in GameData/Kopernicus/Cache. If the number of files in there is increasing, KSP has not crashed. Cultivate patience and wait for Kopernicus to finish.

    Without more info I can't troubleshoot this. If it's literally saying Kopernicus can't load, that is not a TBG issue, but if it's saying it can't load a certain body, that's different. These are the steps I would take: Make sure you are using the latest version of Kopernicus Make sure you are using Module Manager 4.0.3 Make sure you are using the latest TBG (0.3.9) Remove ALL mods except Module Manager and Kopernicus If KSP loads OK, with just Module Manager and Kopernicus, add in TBG and try and launch If KSP fails to load with just Module Manager, Kopernicus, and TBG as mods, the problem is definitely with the galaxy made by TBG and I need to figure out what is wrong.

    @VanillaCold (Choc), @siklidkid When you ran into problems, are you using the galaxy that comes with TBG or are you generating a brand new one? If your are generating new galaxies, could you post your seeds (in the Galaxygen_Info-[name].txt file)

    I'd be happy to include a TBG mission pack, but am uninterested in working on one right now. If you'd like to make missions, I'd be thrilled to include them. I have experienced this, too. It is, I think, a Kopernicus bug. I would report it to them. TBG should generate a txt file named something like "Galaxygen_Info-[name].txt" What version does it say? It looks like you are using an old version of TBG, but I'm not sure

    Mmm. I'm embarrassed. Did a clean install, only MM, TestFlight, and your configs...and it works fine. I don't know what the problem was, but things seem fine now. IGNORE ME
  19. seanth
    I'm having a hard time getting anything to work with stock KSP. KSP 1.7.3, MM installed, testflight cor 1.10, and your config files. Any advice is welcome.
  20. seanth
    A quit and restart of KSP and then reloading the craft seems to have gotten rid of the problem. I'm not sure what was going on, but everything works fine now.

    I come seeking some advice. I have a plane that can smoothly take off from the runway with out problems and is stable in flight with SAS, but when I use the Space Plane Guidance settings and activate it right at throttle up , it will start to wobble and crash before taking off. It doesn't matter what settings I have in the space plane guidance. If I get the plane in the air, take it up to 500m and then try to use the Space Plane Guidance to maintain that altitude, it starts porpoising though the air, diving and climbing, until it crashes. Even if I turn the pitch control of the control surfaces off, the plane will porpoise when Space Plane Guidance is turned on...which seems like SAS is acting weird under mechjeb control Any advice? I am sure this is a case of operator error (i.e. I am messing up) but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

    I am confused by the CRY-0300R crew hatch. The part looks like it has legs, so it wants to be mounted as horizontal, like a bed, but the Kerbals exit through the crew hatch like the part should be stood up. Is there a mod we can use to rotate exit orientation on crew hatches?

    When importing .mu or .craft, are they supposed to have their textures automatically? If so, I think mine is configured incorrectly https://www.dropbox.com/s/v90xpqpxqem3j8u/Screenshot 2019-08-02 18.13.45.png EDIT: Ignore me. I'm a Blender noob and was just missing a critical step. Herp derp

    Are there any packs that have models for crashed spaceships (along the line of the debris in the game Subnautica)? Or maybe packs that add in ruins (like stonehenge, etc)?

    I started a wiki to provide images of the old parts, and as a way to make sure all the parts are appearing in-game correctly: https://github.com/kjoenth/Kerbal-Historical-Institute/wiki/Aero
