amarius1 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) _____________________ Kerbol Origins _____________________ Welcome to Kerbol Origins, a mod that aims to recreate all the SQUAD planet ideas that never got implemented, like the Gas Planet Two (GP2), Gas Planet Three (that is actually a giant rocky planet) and many more. The mod has been fine-tuned to be as stockalike as possible and we made sure that it fills most of the gaps the stock Kerbol system has. Many of the celestial bodies added by this pack are proceduraly generated, which means that they have a lower memory footprint, but others use heightmaps and while they are not entirely procedural, they offer much more detail than the procedural ones. _____________________ Pictures _____________________ ( https://imgur.com/gallery/vKGxl7c _______________________ Recommended mods _____________________ - by Amarius1 Reveal hidden contents This mini-mod aims to provide stock planet tweaks to acompany Kerbol Origins. The tweaks are only for looks. - by Nils277 Reveal hidden contents This is the separate pack containing only the parts added alongside Kerbol Origins! - by Valerian Reveal hidden contents "When in low orbit of a planet, the side of my ship which was facing the planet was completely dark, which was not realistic! It should have been illuminated a bit by the planet's own reflective light! I decided to fix that with this mod, by making planets and moons to reflect their own (colored) light to your vessel." _______________________ Lets meet the new planets! _____________________ Faz: Reveal hidden contents Second moon of Eve Small purple captured asteroid with little futures It was one of the test planets made by NovaSilisko, where he tested ground scatter collisions and terrain Proceduraly generated Harvest: Reveal hidden contents Harvest is formed of the remains of the body that crashed into Kerbin when Kerbin was just a proto-planet. It now remains trailing in Kerbin's L-4 spot Uses a heightmap derived from Tylo. It was one of the test planets made by NovaSilisko. It was later scrapped and its heightmap was improved and reused for Tylo Rocky, mountainous surface with great views Has large craters and canyons similar tot he original ones by NovaSilisko Rega: Reveal hidden contents Has large rings Uses a hand-made heightmap Rocky, mountainous surface with great views Has large craters and canyons Sarvin Reveal hidden contents Sarvin is a recreation of Gas Planet Two (GP2) shown by NovaSilisko in one of his streams Sarvin uses the original texture shown in one of NovaSilisko's streams Has dense rings formed of dark dust particles Is home of 5 moons, Daphy, Potatus, Eeloo, Fonso and Shayle Moons of Sarvin: Daphy: Reveal hidden contents Sarvin's first moon Has little futures Is proceduraly generated Is covered in fluff and hardened ice It has a somewhat bouncy surface It was in NovaSilisko's original GP2 plan Potatus: Reveal hidden contents Sarvin's second moon Has many mountains Is covered in ice that was swept away by impacts leaving brown, rocky valleys Has many small impact craters It was in NovaSilisko's original GP2 plan Eeloo: Reveal hidden contents Sarvin's third moon Is covered in ice May hide a liquid water ocean beyond its crust Has craters It was in NovaSilisko's original GP2 plan Fonso Reveal hidden contents Has mountains that stretch beyond its atmosphere Is proceduraly generated Has thin atmosphere Mostly mountainous rocky terrain, but here and there, there are sandy deserts Has large, eroded craters It was in NovaSilisko's original GP2 plan Shayle: Reveal hidden contents Has a mostly smooth terrain Many small craters Minty-radioactive color Is proceduraly generated Keelon: Reveal hidden contents Keelon is a recreation of Gas Planet Tree (GP3), and it was later revealed by NovaSilisko that it was instead, a giant rocky planet Rocky surface Many dry deserts Reddish atmosphere Harsh gravity pull that will make takeoff a real challenge Moons of Keelon: Manai: Reveal hidden contents Manai is Keelon's first moon, a rocky planet with intense volcanic activity Has a global lava ocean sorrounding its continents Has many little islands spread in its lava ocean Has thin atmosphere If you come too close to the lava your ship overheats and explodes Uses a hand-made heightmap Lok: Reveal hidden contents Revus is Keelon's second moon Is covered in dust and stone Has many crater Has a large equatorial ridge Uses a hand-made heightmap Revus: Reveal hidden contents Revus is Keelon's third moon Is covered in hardened ice Has many canyons Uses a hand-made heightmap Corolet: Reveal hidden contents Has a beautiful comet tail via Kopernicus Expansions Is procedural Soft surface with great views Has hard to reach orbit __________________________________ The team! ________________________________ @amarius1 - Original Owner & Lead Developer @Mythical Donuts - Developer @zherdev - Developer @Nils277 - Part Creator @Olympic1 - Career Compatibility & Tweaks @The White Guardian - Career Compatibility, EVE Clouds & Tweaks @smokytehbear - FF Ribbons @Eriksonn - Principia Compatibility And more! __________________________________ Thank you ________________________________ Thomas - For developing and mantaining Kopernicus.

123nick Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 great, but... OPM already moves eello, so how will this be compatible? infact, i think a couple of planet mods move eeloo, maybe even new horizons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremythebeast Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If I try to focus on Daphy, it focuses to Sarvin instead. Even if I try to right click on Daphy and click focus view.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I try to right click on Daphy and click focus view.... Expand Yeah, that's because Daphy is so small and Sarvin is so big, that the game draws the box that lets you select Sarvin over where Daphy also is. In order to focus on Daphy or any other bodies, use the TAB button on your keyboard! Edited December 22, 2015 by amarius1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Guardian Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 E.V.E update! Even though there are a few bugs left to squash and some celestial bodies haven't been touched yet, I might, I repeat might be able to get it all finished on Christmas. But it'd be a Christmas miracle though. As for the things on the To-Do list of Kerbol Origins, I could tackle the science balance and custom science defenitions. @amarius1 just give me the green light and I'll balance out the sciencevalues from Dropbox. While I won't touch the configs, I'll add a .txt file with balanced science values. Since you have more experience with Kopernicus, I'll leave updating the science multipliers to you. I could do it myself, but I'm far too afraid that I'd break something. As for the ScienceDefs, just give me the green light and I'll add another textfile with custom science defenitions. I'll need a list of biomes for each body though as well as a description of the terrain, and pasting that here would spoil stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoJeb21 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I did some testing with Manai, and I didn't overheat in the atmosphere. In fact, there weren't any reentry effects at all! I'm not too sure if it's a glitch or just because I may not have been fast enough. Either way, I want the perfect planet to BBQ Kerbals.

Expand Well there are 2 reasons of no overheating: Atmosphere is too thin You are going too slow SO no bug. I think that you should start to overheat and explode at about 30m over the lava but if you enable heat resistance trough cheats, you can actually get to the ocean!

The White Guardian Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 @amarius1, under To-Do -> mechanics you listed "Intergration with EVE for clouds and atmospheric glow ~via~ EVE " Well, the E.V.E reboot broke the atmospheric glow, so until I manage to get it working again, I cannot add that feature. If I can get it to work again, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never worked with scatterer settings before and I don't know of any planet packs that provide Scatterer configs so we might be pioneers! I hope I can finish the scatterer configs until new year.
