[1.0.5] RSS Planets & Moons expanded v0.12.0 Sedna is finally here!

[KillAshley]

Tried a lot of different settings, without any conclusive results. The blocky looking pqs will stay this way until a fix is found. Sorry. :/

        PQS
        {
            maxQuadLengthsPerFrame = 0.03
            minLevel = 2
            [B]maxLevel = 5[/B]
            minDetailDistance = 8

that will fix it

your planets go from looking like THIS to looking like THIS. Reducing the maxLevel further will help smooth out terrain more, however at a cost of detail from the heightmap.

I already tried. And it didn't make any difference that's what i don't understand

[KillAshley]

you can see the difference in the screenshots...did you remember to delete the .bin files? lowering it reducing the lines along the surface significantly

[Einkleinermensch]

Oh, new celestial bodies look great!

But isn't Ida longer IRL a bit?

It is. I can't make it longer without making it "higher" since oblateness doesn't work well. So, it is a placeholder until oblateness works without bugs

You mean the cache files? I delete them every time I test something

Launched a mission to Ida today. The rocked had 20560 m\s dV and was about 800.000 tons of wet mass

But that was great and Ida with Dactyl look just awesome in ScaledSpace!

But maybe it needs some tweaking for distance of switching between PQS and ScaledSpace? It looks a little weird at distance about 50.000 km

ScaledSpace vs PQS only switches at 25km

Ok! Will look at this right now. And will probably post an update tonight for RSS 10.2 compatibility. (Yes another update.......)

Did anybody had a broken save file after they installed my mod?

No, my saves work as good as they can

Hmm, I thought that this distance is tweakable, isn't it?

1- Good to know!

2- Yes, it is.

[pozine]

I may make the texture and config files a separate download. So when there are small updates, you won't need to download 50mb over and over

[pozine]

Not a very big update today. Added Charon with New Horizon's map.

Added color to Pluto and Charon.

Charon

EDIT : 1000 downloads! Thank you very much!

*plays Party Rock Anthem*

As you can see, I'm happy.

[rottielover]

ok, I was quite content to putter about a 10th size solar system with cartoon rocket parts...

You sir, have spoiled all that. I'm installing RSS and overhaul right now, just so I can play with this mod. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nimaroth]

Ehhhh, another mod to install >.<

Great job, I'm gonna try this soon !

[pozine]

Thank you very much guys!

Any idea of planetary bodies that you'd like in game?

- - - Updated - - -

I might color the missing parts on Pluto and Charon if it's not so difficult.

I really need to get the biome thing going

[nimaroth]

Hum, maybe you should focus on dwarf planet first ?

If I'm not wrong (but I could so sorry if it's the case >.<), there is still at least Haumea, Makemake and Eris missing.

It's true that they are really far away but ... well ... we're allowed to dream !

I'll make the bigger ones. I don't know when though. Aka Eris, Makemake, 2007 OR, Haumea and maybe Quaoar and Orcus (and moons)

[srbgaming]

Don't forget Sedna!

[pozine]

Don't forget Sedna!

Sure! i'm currently working on heighmaps for Pluto and Charon. Hard to get it right

[pozine]

UPDATE 0.6.0

- Added Titania

- Added heightmaps to Pluto, Charon and Titania.

- Resized Pluto to a 4k map instead of a 8k. PM me if you want the 8k version.

- Added rings to Uranus
