I hope I'm not repeating an earlier post, but is there a stable version for 1.1.3? I lost my 1.1.2 save a few days ago when I got a new PC for college.

There are no stable releases, no matter which ksp version you use 

Hence the WIP tag

Your best bet on 1.1.3 is to download the development branch from github and use that one.

[FreeThinker]

Well, from my experiience, KSP 1.2, is already lot more stable than KSP 1.x and KSP 1.1.x

Just something I noticed, all of the links to the planet packs on the front page just take you to the KSP Forums front page. Looks like they aren't working.

is there a way that i can remove the stock planets from helios?, and maybe put opm planets in the stock system?

This post might point you in the right direction. It looks like you can customize everything with your own MM config files.

If this gets updated to 1.2 the first thing I'm going to do is make two star systems. One with the stock planets and OPM and another with Galileo's Planet Pack.

Does the Kopernicus update to Release 3 mean goodbye to the horrid black sky bug?

[Sigma88]

Galactic Neighborhood v0.3.0

updated to the new KSP and Kopernicus, 

 

BEWARE: THIS IS NOT A FULL UPDATE

I have only tested the mod without any Planet Packs, you will need to test the planet packs that you want to use and let me know if there are bugs.

BACK UP YOUR SAVES

 

all the links are available in the OP

 

If you want to follow the development of my mods:  

If you want to buy me a cup of coffee:

Don't forget to update the First Post header

[Benji13]

YES! It's been updated! Thank you!

[Benji13]

Could you please add support for Gallileos Planet Pack? Usually it replaces the stock system but it would be really nice to have it as a new system.

yes, I have already seen that mod and I will most likely add it to the GN, but I can't give you an ETA because I am pretty busy lately

Ok, thanks. I look forward to it. 

[Benji13]

Just need some clarification, does GN only combine the planet packs you have installed (if supported) or does it add all the stars and planet packs in the OP? Because I would mainly want/need it as something that allows me to have two star systems (one stock, other mod) and nothing else. Thanks,

Benji13.

What GN does is:

1- changes the center of the galaxy to a black hole

2- moves the stock ksp system to orbit said black hole

3- adds 5 new star systems that I created only for GN (the ones described at the end of the OP)

4- if you have any of the compatible planet packs, GN will create a new star and load the planet pack in question around this star

 

The result is that you will always have the stock system unchanged, plus 5 GN specifc star systems, plus a star system for each compatible planet pack you have installed.

If you don't want some of the GN specific star systems just go to GameData/GalacticNeighborhood/StarSystems/

and delete the folder of the system you don't want.

 

There is an option to get all the stars to show up even when you don't have the relative planet pack installed, but I don't think you are interested

@Sigma88 The link to Kopernicus is not working

Edited November 11, 2016 by FreeThinker

[Sigma88]

Most links are probably broken because the forum changed how it wants links to be defined.

I'll update the OP when I get some time

 

Fixed links and images, thanks for the report

Any hopes on this supporting scatterer? For nice sunflares and atmospheres? Aswell as Enviromental Visual Enhancements?

EVE requires a lot of work to make cloud packs work, if anyone wants to make a cloudpack compatible with GN I will put a link in the OP.

Scatterer is not something I am familiar with. If the setup is easy and painless and the results particulary good, I might consider it.

so if someone makes me a proof-of-concept cfg for scatterer I might look into that

Scatterer is basically a beautiful shaders mod. Which enhances the atmospheres of planets. This is it in action

It could be hard to implement. But i'm positive that people can do it.

It does support scatterer though...  Or really,  scatterer doesn't have to be rescale as it automatically does it depending on the size of the celestial body.

I tried it with scatterer. On Kerbin. There is no sky and no oceans. And the ground is tinted red.

ok i see what is going on... This happens because scatterer now can support more than one star as long as there is a cfg written for it. In Galactic Neighborhood, there are many stars so scatterer will likely wig out unless you are willing to write a cfg for each sun. So scatterer can work with it but it will take some elbow grease.

I just found out on the KSC menu it appears like that. But when your in flight. It's perfectly ok. But since there is other star systems. A person has to make the Sun's glare proper rather than a giganic sunglare in your face. Like this.
