HumanStuff -Add-On Develpoment Thread MOST CURRENT UPDATE: We have a HumanStuff Wiki NOW ! MASSIVE changes to mods file structure. I did not realize how "involved" I would become in making sure I got the added realism "just right", in 1 day the mod had tripled (3x) in size from 900Mb to 2.7Gb. But I got a 6000x6000px (6K) Skybox thats "cubic correct to the plane of the solar elliptic" from @Galenmacil's work, very bright method, I think I can use this method to create a 8K and 16K RSS correct GalaxyTex (skybox) and 1K (1024x1024) EnvMaps (I already made the 512x512 EnvMaps & 4096x4096 GalaxyTex, also correct for RSS) I quot: PS: NOPE! Tested these "older" files, they are in someway not working out in my compression programs as "nice looking". Space Engine captures of smaller size (4K) are far nicer when compressed to DXT5 or BC7, even as DXT1. ^Can anyone assist with this ^ IS THIS STILL TRUE? About GaxaxyTex & EnvMaps? Same "root" image can be used on both?: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A (Slightly More) Realistic Spacesuits, Heads & Staff. For KSP v1.5+ NEEDS (as a "Dependency") TextureReplacer Intended & Suggested For The Realism Overhaul, RealSolarSystem, & RP-1 Realistic Progression One Mod Families, Will work with just TextureReplacer (^Current "Poorly Made Hack Job Title Image" For HumanStuff^) Forgive place holder post(s), trying to organize a lot, for me, my very 1st mod/github thing ever ________________________________________________ Plans, Progress & Issues: *Complete the Do it Yourself "Easy Head & Suit Builder" Layered Components Workshop (LCW, for short)* A set of helper PNG/DDS files to assist users in learning to make heads and faces, or all more custom options to users that may be unable to complete the process personally (aka they are limited to pre-made heads and suits) GENE KERMIN <- I am lost to why he works in 1 scene but not others....and "albino" why? Others dont have this issue unless they use gene's head (some SPH/VAB ground crew) Low Resolution (1/2 the current image sized listed), Standard Resolution (Current image sizes as listed), High Resolution (twice the current sizes listed) & "All Resolutions" (All in 1) packs JUST READ THIS: must Env folder (reflections) images be PNG ONLY to work? NOT DDS AT ALL?? ________________________________________________ Current Project I'm Working On For This Mod: @Aazard (thats me) has been starting at the start.... mostly making sure i'm not breaking the file structure or "blowing up" it working right. Also that I'm following "all the rules" to the letter (next to the really serious letter, I'm an easy going man), in regards to the EULA, TOS and licence terms of any inclusions I'm working on 1950's suits ALOT. Early USA/CCCP high altitude flight suits and Mercury IEVA suits are "mostly done" GENE KERMIN <- I am lost to why he works in 1 scene but not others....and "albino" why? Others dont have this issue unless they use gene's head (some SPH/VAB ground crew) Also I am breaking down all the dds files, "4096/4K files" looking for "8192/8K files", attempting to optimize them: Env: 256x256 bit depth 24, optimization pass 1= fail (I inverted in game view when making png into dds, noobism).. pass 2 = I "deepened blacks" BUT see no naked eye or file attributes (size) difference... so= done? Looking into 512x512 options... JUST READ THIS: must Env folder (reflections) images be PNG ONLY to work? NOT DDS AT ALL?? Trying @Galenmacil's RSS Correct Ultra High Resolution Unique Galaxy Background CubeMap @6000x6000 Heads: 1024x1024 bit depth 32, file name fixes = done, location for TR fixes = done, images "cleaned" = huge difference in "color" quality! make into compontents = WIP... Looking into 2048x2048 options Suits: 4096x4096 bit depth 32, pre ksp v1.5 suits cant be reworked only remade...so = done, make into compontents = WIP.. Looking into 8192x8192 options GalaxyTex: 4096x4096 bit depth 32, pass 2 = I "deepened blacks" BUT see no naked eye or file attributes (size) difference... so= done? Looking into 8192x8192 options ________________________________________________ Current Project Community Members Are Working On For This Mod: @Chubby_Hamster was reworking the SK-1 IEVA and A7L "Inner layer" IVA suits last I heard from him, he is much better than I am with this and his work is very high quality, IMHO. There is no "confirmation" of final submission currently, forgive if this announcement is in error ________________________________________________ Current Community Suggestions & Authour Requests: Please feel free to make suggestions for anything! I'm looking for higher resolution (native/original not "upscaled") png or dds images for all base "template building" and for the high resolution pack, and also to "downscale" to the lower resoloution packs (mostly to have everything the same & PREVENT quality loss to highest resolutions I desire: env 512x512, heads 2048x2048, skybox/suits 8192x8192, all with bit depth of 32 hopefully Cfg files... these are not new to me i've edited many and the mods I use often require (or used too) "fix by users"... but writing my own "with a goal" is NEW. anyone REALLY understand MM and TR cfgs in general that I could ask direct questions too (that has the willingness to explain/help me for like 15 minutes) Current Poll & Featured Art/Screenshots Of The Week: *This Weeks Deadline: 09/18/2020 at 09:01 PM EST (UTC -5) Last Poll Results: There was no "last poll", below is the 1st Latest Poll: What Famous Face From History Do You Prefer To be The 1ST Added to Pack in "Famous Faces"? (All 5 will be added plus more over time*) *With-in the limits of game, Texture Replacer and my skills (not in that order...) Next Poll Thoughts/Options: There are no "Next poll" ideas or suggestions, yet ________________________________________________ I will make reposts of info from main thread them spoil out original post, mostly to "clean up" & to save "page length" on main release thread. Preview of my mad art skills: Ummm how do I reverve 2nd post slot? lol

Hi all! hope you are having a great day! I just wanted to share a cool new interactive feature by NASA that shows all the incidents and close calls ever occurred in human spaceflight! I am still discovering the microsite myself but I can tell you already it is really cool! https://spaceflight.nasa.gov/outreach/SignificantIncidents/index.html Hope you enjoy it!

Why did I make this... seriously just, just why.

Inspired by a recent SMBC comic, I want to ask: Is there a game you can think of where human will always have advantage over a computer, no matter how advanced the programming of the AI can be?
