ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Fun Fact: the semi-famous planet mod Asclepius first appeared in this thread!Hello! This is my first mod, and so be patient, it might take a while for me to get it right.There are a lot of mods that add some form of Gas Planet 2, but none really add the original planet that NovaSilisko was planning to make. It sounds like the kind of thing that you try to add in before the game is released, so it seems that Gas Planet 2 will probably not ever happen. But that's okay, because now (or soon at least ) there's a mod for it! Here is an image of it in the tracking station, named "Meander", Jool's original name:CONTRIBUTORS (so far):_Augustus_: Helped with Kopernicus configs and namesInterplanet Janet: Helped with namesStarCrusher96: Agreed to help with color and height mapsCHECKLIST (In order of when I'll do them):- GP2 (Meander)- move Eeloo- Daphy (Fluff)- Potatus (Squash)- new Vall- Fonso (Bunt)- WIP release 1- Gas Planet 3 (Egar)- new Tylo- Ringed moon (Bore, old Tylo)- WIP release 2- Volcanoes on Laythe (I actually have an idea how I'm going to do this)- Geysers on Eeloo (Unlike Laythe, I have no idea how I'll do this)- RELEASE!!!

_Augustus_ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I would change the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well, I'm not very good at making my own names, so they're staying like this for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Augustus_ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Other people use the planet names Harvest, Daphy, Potatus, and Fonso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Good point. Now I need names! Is anyone good at making sufficiently kerbal planet names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Some WIP names.Daphy = Pillow (or something like that)Potatus = SquashFonso = Blunt (I'm thinking of kinda blunt mountains for this)Ringed GP3 moon = Bore (because Tylo is boring) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Augustus_ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Change Blunt to Bunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yes, good idea, very kerbal. Reposted because I accidentally deleted the original post.- - - Updated - - -I also don't like "Pillow" very much. Not very kerbal. Any ideas?

Interplanet Janet Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 How about "Fluf"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, Fluf would work. Maybe just "Fluff", though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 I think Meander itself is pretty much done for now. Here are its stats:And yes, I did change the gravity to 1.2 gees. It's clearly edited. I also basically just made a bunch of tweaks to Bastion, the example gas giant in Kopernicus. It still uses the ring texture from the examples, since I have no idea how to make my own. (Oh gosh, I'll have to do normals...) Oh well, I won't get sued until I release it.

And that's a nice little amount of G's.If you want a ring texture, I've got one here; http://imgur.com/N2bvNa4You may want to rename it, though. Maybe... Meander_ring or something.

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hmm...It would look better whitish or something, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interplanet Janet Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) That would be cucumber-grade cool.http://imgur.com/5FHER6ZAlso, can you expand the rings? Edited June 15, 2015 by Interplanet Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrofox Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Those rings both look good and tacky, I like it...May the power of the Kraken be with you in the creation of this mod...Seriously, the Kraken may appear during tests of the worlds...

Interplanet Janet Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So, what should we do, LongUsername?Should we collaborate? And if we do, can we please not share our emails (rather, upload preliminary development files to Mediafire, MEGA, or Dropbox and share it through PMs)?- - - Updated - - -Those rings both look good and tacky, I like it...May the power of the Kraken be with you in the creation of this mod...Seriously, the Kraken may appear during tests of the worlds...They're my creation, thank you very much, although I made a new version for LongUsername.

Interplanet Janet Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Good. Also, if you want a Saturn-like appearance, can you expand the outer edge of the rings or add more of them?

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 OH, completely forgot about your updated rings, might look more stockalike than something designed to not be stockalike.- - - Updated - - -And yes, GP2 is a Saturn analogue.

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 The Kopernicus example planets. I really don't know why I have them installed. It's true that I have been sucking off their textures and configs, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
