[1.5.x] Asclepius - A Kopernicus planet - SSTO playground

[David-P]

Version 1.5

https://github.com/MrChumley/Asclepius/releases

You might want to try a clean install of ksp with just the Asclepeius and Kopernicus mods and see if that works.

Having said that, although I have gotten it to work, ksp v1.1.2 is crashing regularly when I have these 2 mods installed so there appears to be other issues with these mods and ksp.

 

[MisterFister]

@MrChumley how would you suggest I run this mod in KSP v1.1.2 with Kopernicus v2:release-1-0-3? (The Kopernicus version is what I read off the CKAN metadata screen, though its forum thread just indicates v1.0.3.)  I see chatter above this comment discussing running modified .cfg's, but I've been having trouble with this.

If CKAN is the issue, I can happily install it manually.  Thanks!

I tried out your mod and made some pictures.

I liked the general appearance of landscape, the "rivers" or "cracks", and the fact that the atmosphere is only dense low makes you fly around in them, which I found enjoyable. It's like flying around in that only river on Kerbin, only there's more.

Yes I Like Them Those Pictures Are Very Nice.

Can you make a version for ksp 1.1.3 because i really want to land there :D!

[cantab]

It will probably just work. Seemed to in KSP 1.1.2 with its versions of Kopernicus at least. (Kopernicus on KSP 1.1.3 has a bug with other planet mods that move Kerbin, so I haven't upgraded myself).

*mad scientist voice*

They told me: Bash! Don't fly above Asclepius' dunes, you'll die! But I showed them! I showed them all! Muahhaha.

No but seriously, I have no idea how I managed to actually fly over the 10000 kilometre mark. And by the way, those engines are the KAX electric motors. Same as normal engines, except it requires electricity to run instead of fuel. And I somehow managed to get a suborbital trajectory. I think it's mainly due to the low gravity, light design and big wings. There was so little atmosphere, I was getting speeds of 800 m/s

I had to use a ramp to get enough lift to get off the ground though XD

Love the planet, it's cracks and rivers look amazing! I'm working on a huge exploration mission, including ISRU and colonisation. I play New Horizons and put Asclepius in a binary relation with Laythe, for no other reason than because it looks awesome.

Ive been away from KSP a while and came back hoping to add this planet - does it work for 1.2.1?

[Heckspress]

here to ask the same question

[MrChumley]

Hey Fellow Kerbonaughts!

I think an Asclepius update is long overdue.

I have updated it for KSP 1.3  It should work on the older 1.2 version as well.

My apologies for taking so long.

DOWNLOAD AsclepiusV1-3.zip from GitHub

I'm going to need more info if you need help.  Or was that an accidental post?

On a different note, I got EVE to work, and have been trying a few things... I think I have settled on a low haze that floats just above the dense air.  Any thoughts?  

Album zeDbw will appear when post is submitted

I tried to crosspost this as a reminder; to check out if multiple attempts of same BUILTIN/ textures are used by this mod which creates the issue mentioned in that post's quote...

Yea lazy crossposts without explanation will usually get ignored.

[MrChumley]

Ahoy kerbonauts!  Just a small update:

AsclepiusV3 can now be installed via CKAN. 

Add ContractConfigurator-FarOutContracts too for custom contracts offered in career mode!

*contract pack requires Contract Configurator

 

Enjoy

Thanks @GDJ ! 

In other new news FarOut contract pack not only adds custom contracts, but now with the help of Kerbal Konstructs and Kerbinside assets, also adds several bases scattered around Asclepius that you can launch your ships from. (See OP for D/L links)

Thank you for being awesome!

Hi @MrChumley,

There are two old Asclepius-related packages in CKAN that have not been updating correctly for a while.

http://status.ksp-ckan.org/

NetKAN	Last Checked	Last Inflated	Last Indexed	Last Error
Asclepius-clouds	6 hours ago	6 hours ago	2 years ago	Could not find BoulderCo entry in zipfile to install
ContractConfigurator-Asclepius	6 hours ago	6 hours ago	2 years ago	Could not find ContractPacks entry in zipfile to install

Both are looking for directories that are no longer in the main download, in one case BoulderCo, and in the other ContractPacks.

Are these still needed?

[MrChumley]

@HebaruSan

No they are no longer needed for the current install.

Asclepius now only contains a config for EVE clouds, and the contracts have been moved into FarOut contract pack.

Thanks for letting me know.  I'll try and get it straightened out.

*edit* I see that you are on the case..  Its cool if they are removed.

Hebaru is awesome

[septemberWaves]

It's back? Wow, I've missed this mod. It was the first planet I visited beyond Kerbin, so I'm glad to see it's updated once again. I wonder if there's a nice niche for it in the New Horizons system (I might play around with orbit locations).

EDIT: I just spotted the compatibility note on the original post in this thread about New Horizons. Quite a coincidence; I was going to put it near Laythe too if it didn't fit in the system nicely (probably 60 degrees behind in the same orbit).

I made a visit to Asclepius' moon Kruel.

Here is an animated .gif  of a kerbal doing a space walk on Kruel, But it kinda looks like he is on a mini Asclepius. o.O

@MrChumley by any chance did you use some weird setting to compress the archives of Asclepius and Kronkus?

I am writing a plugin for GN that installs planet packs from the zip file and it is failing when trying to extract your mods

I extracted the files and re-zipped them and it worked fine.

No weird settings...  I just right click and create archive.   Linux 17.1
