Sigma Dimensions

[jaunco325]

Hey, I can't find a way to change the configuration of the planets. how do you do that?

[Proxiyl]

I am looking to figure out how to Rescale the planets (and their moons), (and) their atmospheres, along with their distance from each-other? I'm trying to figure out how to do it via the Readme, but it's too complex, can someone please explain it in a easier way to understand? Thanks!

Someone can try. SigmaDimensions (this mod) provides the brains to be able to resize planets at all. Config files provide instructions to SD to indicate how to rescale things. So you need this mod, plus this mod for the stock solar system:

There's one tricky part here, and that's getting Rescale Cont. Go the the link below, download the source code master zip file at the bottom. Unzip that to a temp folder not in your ksp tree, and select one of the cfg files. The CFG file you select (based on the size you want) should go somewhere under your GameData folder, e.g. in a new folder you create called "Rescale". With that, plus this mod, you should have a rescaled system.

For some reason if I change the atmoTopLayer value in the mod settings I get the dreaded black screen right after the game finishes loading.  Anyone else having this problem?

Running KSP 1.12 and only mods are Kopernicus, Distant Object, EVE, scatterer, GU and GU_parts.

Hi, when I install a rescale my game looks darker. Is it due to the interaction from scatterer/EVE/Parallax/etc? Any way I can fix it?

It is necessary to update the mod to the latest version of the game

Is there a possibility of getting a 2.7x scale config? 2.5 works well but BDB is more towards 2.7x

Is the latest version, and it still works in 1.12.5. Note that the mod's license is ARR so you could recompile it against 1.12.5 yourself, for whatever reason, just don't then distribute it.

Literally when I start the game, a sign appears saying that sigma dimensions is not compatible with the version of the game. and when loading a game or starting a new one, it stays on the loading screen forever

It does indeed work with the latest version, using it right now. Means, your problem lies elsewhere, and you can fix it, or find help to fix it. Good luck!

I had this problem using CKAN then I downloaded directly from github and it worked.

Is there a way to modify the collision box of the runway? I'm finding that on a 10x rescale my planes will float slightly above the runway.

is it possible to make planets smaller than stock, as I am trying to  recrate This Mod for modern versions of ksp, and I am also not quite sure how to go about making a config for that kind of thing.

Yes absolutely. You could even do it like The Little Prince if you wanted.

Hi, I've been wanting to play with this mod but it's having issues when coming down from scaled space. The terrain directly under the ship doesn't render until the last second, then it ends up all torn apart.  The area further away is rendered normally, but early Career Mode missions usually involve traveling only vertically. It doesn't matter where I launch from and seemingly has nothing to do with the terrain decals. Does anyone know a fix? I've tried this on multiple KSP installs, and I've tried editing the config files, but to no avail.

[Starwaster]

@Jen X-1 I don't have a solution but I do have a workaround. Quicksave and then quickload. That will fix the immediate terrain issue.

This has been a problem on and off for a few years, even as far back as the original Real Solar System. But I don't recall what the actual cause was or what the solution is. If I figure out a real solution, I'll let you know.

I don't know why, but every time I try loading ksp with scatterer installed, I get three errors, as shown in the image: 

(Ignore the "4 errors", this was taken yesterday. It now says "3 errors", because I fixed one of them.)

Could someone tell me if anything is wrong with the newCacheFiles.cfg mentioned in the screenshot?

Here is the text from the .cfg:

Spoiler

@Kopernicus:FOR[SigDim2]
{
    @Body:HAS[@SigmaDimensions:HAS[#Resize[1],#landscape[1]]]
    {
        %editCache = False
    }
    @Body:HAS[~cacheFile[*],~editCache[False]]
    {
        cacheFile = #Kopernicus/Cache/$name$.bin
    }
    @Body:HAS[~editCache[False]]
    {
        @cacheFile = #SigmaDimensions/Cache/§$SigmaDimensions/Resize$x]Resize/§$SigmaDimensions/landscape$x]landscape/$cacheFile$
        @cacheFile ^= :§:[:
    }
    @Body,*
    {
        !editCache = DEL
    }
}

@Ultim32

If you check the log file, it should tell you more precisely where and why it's having trouble.

I'm currently trying to play KSP in 2.5x but I can't get it to run. I have installed Sigma and Rescale 2.5 but I get some error messages in the loading screen. Is there a solution for this ?

Here are the error messages:

The problem here is that you've unzipped the master github archive into your GameData folder. To move forward, you'll want to delete that entire folder from GameData. The way to install this from the zip file you have is to open the zip file and navigate to the GameData folder that is within the zip file. That folder "matches" with your KSP install's GameData folder, so you want to copy whatever is in the zip at that level into your GameData folder. In this case I think that's just one folder called SigmaDimensions. You should end up with a path like GameData\SigmaDimensions, and there should be no folder that has the text "master" in it. Hope this helps.

hello huge noob here and could have easily done this wrong but i needed to adjust cloud heights in my 6.4 game and so I just made myself this lil config and thought someone here might also find it useful

 

@EVE_CLOUDS:FINAL
{
    @OBJECT,*
    {
        @altitude *= 1.4
        @layerRaymarchedVolume
        {
    
            @cloudTypes
            {
                @*Item,*
                {
                    @maxAltitude *= 1.4
                    @minAltitude *= 1.4
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
