btn_donate_LG.gif Help me stay motivated in my endeavors to create more interesting and diverse mods for KSP. Every little support helps!

 

What is KASE?

A complete re-work of the stock planets, KASE aims to bring out the native beauty of the stock worlds, without taking away from what made them great in the first place!

For a long time I have been completely disappointed by the stock planets, from negative terrain issues, barely functioning meshes, drab colors, sloppy ground textures, and ultra-low resolution scaledspace textures. I decided these things need to be fixed, and have been slowly working on them in secret for a while. With it currently in a stable state, I felt it was ready to release into the world.

Experience the stock planets in a new light!

My guess for KASE:

Hidden Content

 

Added to my potential mods list for the reboot

Could do with some comparison images too

nope!

Yeah knew i forgot to do something, didn't upload the comparisons, they are in the OP now. Note that a lot of the work is also on the terrain itself, fixing a lot of issues and making the actual PQS better. I don't have any shot of that though as it's hard to show properly

Well stock scatterer works fine. Maybe one day in the future I'll tweak the cfgs of them a little to get them perfect, however these days I'm more interested in trying to make worlds as good as they can be for stock. I honestly have no interest in clouds and things anymore, and think my times probably best spent making the worlds appear as good as they can for everyone (including those that cant/dont run EVE, scatterer, etc.).

@KillAshley I really like your mod! It's so awesome. But i have a problem. I don't know why, but when i install your mod, game is still running as before installing, but my game stutters every second or so

very odd, whats your memory usage like? what other mods do you have installed, and do you have the latest version of Kopernicus?

@KillAshley I only have a few graphical mods. I have windows shine, Ven's stock revamp, sigmas dimensions, distant object enhancements. Memory is about 2.1-2.2 GB while in flight 

What OS, and is it the latest kopernicus? (0.6.3)

I'll have a look hopefully in the morning anyway, see if i can figure out what could be the issue.

One thing that kinda bugged me about the current stock planets is that the Duna biome "Craters" is not a "real" biome, only appearing on the glitchy borders of the Pole biome, and not in any actual "craters". I think this pack might be the perfect place to include a fix to that (though a standalone fix might be useful too).

yeah biomes is on the to-do list along with scatter science experiments and general tweaks, but i have a lot of current projects so no ETA of when it'll be addressed tbh

I'm going to put in a request for GalacticNeighborhood compatibility:

As I noticed just then, KASE identifies itself as KAUL, which means GN loads up a system for itself: 

@Kopernicus:FOR[KAUL]
{
	@Body[Sun]
	{
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			Light
			{
				sunlightShadowStrength = 1.0
			}
		}
	}
}

My request is that in order to have compatibility with GN, three changes need to be made: 

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus] //do whatever with this to make it load properly
{
	@Body[StockSun]
	{
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			@Light
			{
				@sunlightShadowStrength = 1.0
			}
		}
	}
}

so that:

  • It loads without causing GN to load the Snu System
  • It edits StockSun, which is the Sun Kerbin orbits ingame
  • It edits Light, not adds a new node

Try to keep the original cfg, just use this as a basis for loading the system.
