[The PlanetBuster 9000]

Update: Added basic SFX, nothing too fancy, Fixed planet deletion a bit.

Update2: Bomb doesn't work, but .CFG does

[The PlanetBuster 9000]

It should... just ram the thing all the way in, otherwise, edit the config... I will need to improve the config system, though, uses a hard to read XML. Also, beware that orphaned moon's may cause problems, so be careful where you explode!

[The PlanetBuster 9000]

Unlike Danny's planetbuster, this will fully destroy a planet, including its atmo fx... And it will be permanent as long as the mod is installed. (And configurable via a file, for deleting planets without the part), and I could add some SFX

[The PlanetBuster 9000]

So, I was bored one day... And thought: There are going to be a few planet mods released, or even new stock ones... Why don't I make a planet deleter...

So I present you: The PlanetBuster 9000!

A bomb capable of destroying celestial bodies.

DOWNLOAD:

Fixed for now... Bomb will not work, and the plugin in general is a bit odd

HEAVY BETA, I am not responsible for lost save files, "warranty" void if used on kerbin or kerbol.

Update: Added basic SFX, nothing too fancy, Fixed planet deletion a bit.

Update2: Re-added download, but the bomb doesn't work anymore, planet .cfg deletion works, I guess...

I have created the basic code, and the part itself.

Screenshots:

Wish spoilers worked... sorry about wall of images

So far, My plans are:

Delete planets using a configuration file -Done

Have bomb deleted planets added to the cfg - Done

Have CFG's delete planets based on savegames - Done

Relocate orphaned moons

SFX! - Reverted changes, seems to fail

And a model for the bomb...

Includes source code.

[[WIP] KerbolQuest Dev Thread (Powered by KerbTown)]

If the questing aspect is no longer being developed... Would it be possible for us to see what you had for the storyboard (Or at least fragments...)? I am curious as to what you guys had came up with.

(I enjoyed the mini-story the stock Kerbtown Easter-eggs kinda told... still waiting on the next one)

The more pressing question is how a planet with no atmosphere has molten pools of lava all over its surface.

It looks cool, but doesn't make much sense.

It is meant too, in the Planetarium info screen, it says it has an atmosphere, but sadly it is a bit of a challenge to give it one. I guess I could always change it later, when I get a better understanding of how the Atmosphere components are used.

Edit: I wont derail Krag's thread much further.

Do you have any intention of adding more planets/Adding atmosphere configs to Laythe/Duna/Jool/Kerbin Type planets? or perhaps a ring definition in the config files? I would be happy to do that for you...

2 questions:

Why is a planet with lava pools orbiting a icy planet?

Download?

KCreatoer those planets look awesome. Would definitely like to have those ingame eventually.Are you planning to have the lava pools be similar to water oceans, or solid surfaces that destroy ships?

The icy planet is about as far as Jool from Kerbol, the lava planet has intense heat internally.

If Krag gives me permission, I will finalise, and upload the plugin. the lava pools will act like a liquid, but cause part overheating

May I ask how you did this, and is there a easy way to do it, (just modeling and some cfg. editing) As I am... well, I don't code.

At this point, I just broke down the PlanetFactory code and added my planets (It is fully compatible, though), But Krag plans to have easy config files to make planets.

[Krags PlanetFactory. Updated Jan 22]

I have been working with the code, and built my own neat little system, with some unique features... Here is some shots:

I call this one: Red. (I'm SOOOO creative...)

Its main feature is its lava pools. Its based on the standard VertexPlanet, Template was Minmus. The lava pools are just a scaled sphere mesh, I have yet to create any detectors so ships can explode in the lava, or even touch it... It orbits planet "White":

And here is a strange planet... Very weird looking, but interesting, I has an atmosphere, but it kind of broke...

Edit: Sorry about the "Size" of this post... wish there was a way to compress it a bit...

[Krags PlanetFactory. Updated Jan 22]

You can do something like this with Krag's code:

PSystemBody Minmus = prefabBodies[ "Minmus" ];
Minmus.celestialBody.bodyName = "Not Minmus at all";

Krag's LoadPQS function accepts strings, so you should be able to mod existing PQS systems using the configs...

And I think you can delete planets entirely using DestroyImmediate( );, like:

PSystemBody Minmus = prefabBodies[ "Minmus" ];
DestroyImmediate( Minmus );

Haven't tested it, though... (Poor Minmus... Always the subject of my testing )

[Krags PlanetFactory. Updated Jan 22]

I guess I should have explained it more, that or I failed to copy+paste it in correctly... I put it in the main PlanetFactory class, and called it below "findPrefabBodies(PSystemManager.Instance.systemPrefab.rootBody);" in OnLevelWasLoaded.

Im sure Krag will make a better system... Mine is a bit cobbled together

[Krags PlanetFactory. Updated Jan 22]

I am glad to see this released, with source as well , I have already done some stuff, and got it to create planets based on a .cfg. It kinda works, but its confusing...

Code:

public void LoadAdditionalPlanets()
{
	var root = ConfigNode.Load(DataPath + "AdditionalWorlds.cfg");
	for (int i = 0 ; i < root.nodes.Count ; i++ )
	{
		ConfigNode node = root.nodes[i];
		PFBody newBody = new PFBody( node.GetValue("Name"), node.GetValue("Template"), int.Parse(node.GetValue("Index")),
		new PFOrbit
                {
                   //TEMP!!!
                    inclination = 0,
                    eccentricity = 0,
                    semiMajorAxis = 3000000,
                    LAN = 0,
                    argumentOfPeriapsis = 0,
                    meanAnomalyAtEpoch = 0,
                    epoch = 0,
                    referenceBody = "Kerbin"
                },
	localUpdate: delegate(PFBody body)
               {
	print("Updating Local " + body.name);
                    LoadPQS(body.name);
	} );
	print( "new world ready: "+ node.GetValue("Name") + " With template: " +  node.GetValue("Template") );
	newBodies.Add( newBody );
			}
}

Config:

Test1
{
	Name = "Test1"
	Template = "Minmus"
	Index = 300
}

I call the new LoadAdditionalPlanets before it loads the templates, probably better ways of doing it...
