[Pkmniako]

Other Worlds star/planet pack Development Thread

OTHER WORLDS REBOOT LINK - ORIGINAL MOD IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED

 

KNOWN BUGS TO BE FIXED:

• 
  [*=left]Atmospheres don't work. (Kopernicus Issue)
  [*=left]Some planets have a "pixel" style in shadows.
  [*=left]Vassa has a weird stuff going in the map-normal view translation.
  [*=left]​Secunda Sphere of Influence is waaaaaaaay to big. (My fault)
  [*=left]Some moons daytime don't point to Cercani, not to Kerbol even. Fixed for a0.2
  [*=left]PLEASE report bugs.

TO-DO:

• 
  [*=left]Compatibility with

Planetshine, Distant Objects Enchantment, Custom Asteroids, Final Fronteir mods.
[*=left]EVE mod compatibility with custom clouds and Astronomer's Interestellar visual pack style
[*=left]Science descriptions for stock experiments and some other mods ones like DMagic Orbital Science. (I will need help for this, because I'm not a native english-speaker)
[*=left]Check for grammar/vocabulary errors.

 

Due to the just released alpha, there is nothing to show here, at the momment.

Awesome, I love Kopernicus mods!

I love the idea of "Exoplanets" in KSP, and I'm working on a segment for exoplanets in my own mod.

Those planets look so stock-a-like.

I also like the look of the old desert planet, so please keep it.

I just need to know how to remove that lakes. It has been pushing me back implementing for a long time.

Well, it would be nice to have some small lakes there, like an oasis.

However, they could be colored over in the same color as the rest of the planet (I really would recommend some oasis though, those make things give the whole reason for tourism for the entire Kerbal Universe).

2nd and 3rd planets are absolutely amazing Can't wait until the first release

I write down that.

You'll need some timewarp for that.

Also, I'm decided in making a terra (Because we all love them) and this beauty is going to be the one:

UPDATE!

Created the 2nd planet:

DONE:

• Contains seas (More like lakes, but wathever)
  
• Good height PQSs.
  
• EVE support (as you can see, with the style of astronomers visual pack)
  

TO DO:

• Clouds.
  
• Stock atmosphere.
  
• Changing atmosphere color to white.

"colr" to "color"

[KillAshley]

I'll pm you my atmosphere calculator when I get a chance later

[Pkmniako]

I'm doing a simulation to get the orbit parameters:

[Kagame]

• Science descriptions for stock experiments and some other mods ones like DMagic Orbital Science. (I will need help for this, because I'm not a native english-speaker)
  
• Check for grammar/vocabulary errors.
  

I can do this. I can do this really, really well. I'll just need you to put the science results I write for you in the code, that's it.

[Pkmniako]

I can do this. I can do this really, really well.

I'll PM you when I have full themes for some planets. Thanks!

[Pkmniako]

Update!

Ice double planet! (Not that double planet yet...)

[Pkmniako]

PEQUAR!

The third planet! The desert and cool one! (Cool with double meaning)

THE GIF

[Astrofox]

Looks amazing (I'm tempted to try this out using my regular modded Kopernicus game)!

Really Hyped about this mod - also, are you going to keep that pink texture for the Ice Giant?

[Pkmniako]

It's a fun story. I went to see how many tones of color is Green (Jool) from Orange-Yellow (Jupiter-Saturn) and then did the oposite with Blue (Uranus and Neptune) to get purple (Ice Giant)

[nsgallup]

How far from Kerbol will this new system orbit? It would be super cool if this was compatible with the fantastic OPM Mod.

[MoeKitsune]

I could help with some science defs, a CustomAsteroids config, and maybe a SigmaBinary config.

It is. I'm actually doing the pack with New Horizons pack installed

I could help with some science defs, a CustomAsteroids config, and maybe a SigmaBinary config.

I only need help with defs, but I'll PM you also.

[Pkmniako]

Re-working the second planet:

[MoeKitsune]

PM me a biome list for the closest planet if you have one.

[Pkmniako]

UPDATE!

More:

• Given names to all planets and moons
  
• Raised Vassa (2nd planet) sea level.
  
• Pequar has the blue rings that had in Space Engine. They are awesome.
  
• 3 more satellites: Two asteroids and a small moon.
  
• New look to Crons (Ice giant first satellite).
  

Also, NEW POST LOOK that will be in the release post. Then I will turn this one into a simple one.

I have to do 2 more bodies (Satellites 2 and 3 of the Ice Giant) and I will put a download to the first pre-release!

[MoeKitsune]

Okay. I'll think of some science defs.

FIRST ALPHA VERSION RELEASED IN NEW POST

Congrats on the release - noticed that some planets don't have descriptions and science defs mostly empty. I can do a few moons/planets too if you still need more help. PM me your backstory (how the system got discovered by Kerbals), planned biomes & thematic guidelines if any. Your thoughts on resource distribution can help add some flavour for SciDefs as well (CRP resources, breathable O2 if any)
