KSP Death Star Mod

[Turtles4Life]

So, i have been looking for a 1 piece death star (so that it can be blown up) that is huge like that old one SWDennis used in one of his random moments videos, is there an up to date death star like this?

[cubinator]

I don't think so. The only recent death star mod I know of is the one I made, which isn't designed to be destroyed because I have a little bit of knowledge about Kopernicus, and no knowledge about making parts.

Yeah, I saw yours (looks really nice by the way) but Kopernicus never actually downloads for me anyway lol

Weird. If you did manage to get it to work, you could possibly (if you're into video editing) use a clip of mine, then cut to a random explosion. It wouldn't be quite what you asked for, but it would make it look just like the original. Have you tried CKAN?

whenever i download a mod with CKAN, it does not actually download either, it says "error" or something like that.

[cubinator]

Have you been able to download other mods from Spacedock, Curse, or Github, or is it a problem unique to Kopernicus?

just a problem with Kopernicus.

[cubinator]

That's weird. Did you merge the Kopernicus GameData folder with KSP's GameData, then install a planet mod? It should work if you do it like that.

--Edit-- If no Kopernicus folder actually downloads, then I'd suggest talking to the developer.

I did do it like that, but it did not work lol

[cubinator]

Does this happen on a clean install of KSP? If not, I'd suggest clearing out Logs/Kopernicus and trying again.

Huh, okay

Here you go:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tztlqu6mgsaneky/Death Star.craft?dl=0

It's a currently working craft file, 631 parts. You will have to weld it with the welding mod.

Also, do you have something to put in a config for tweakscaling it?

[Space Scumbag]

add this:

 

    MODULE
    {
        name = TweakScale
        type = free
    }

Cool, and i dont even need to use weld mods to make it work in stock game (just use autostrut on a few select parts and its rock solid).  Perhaps the one issue is size (assuming its designed for tweakscale), its a tad small imo right now, my venator semi-replica (part count kinda stopped me from making it 100%) is longer then the thing (and that isnt even close to correct size either).

Oh, one more thing, is it possible to make it bigger than 400%? (sorry if this is bothering you, im kind of a tweakscale cfg noob)

How big do you want this DeathStar to be? ideally, bearing it in mind that the larger is gets the more difficult it is to launch fly etc,and it gets very difficult to make extra large 1 part ships nicely controllable.  I don't think tweakscale naturally goes bigger than 400% as you can start having serious collider issues if you scale too far, it's worth asking in the tweakscale thread though.

Like, with just enough room to fly through the trench (so like 700%?)

You can change some velues in the DefaultScales.cfg in the TweakScale folder.

Something like this. I just added some more steps after 400. And you can see the size in the editor. Just scale up until you reached 160km diameter, if you like.

SCALETYPE
{
    name = free
    freeScale = true
    defaultScale = 100
    suffix = %
    scaleFactors   = 10, 50, 100,  200, 400, 500, 1000, 10000, 100000
    incrementSlide =  1,  1,   2,    5,   100,   100,   500,   1000,   10000
}

}

 

 

 

Okay, thanks so much!

I have a problem, it only goes up to 500%, do you know a fix?

[Space Scumbag]

Hmm, can you show me what you changed? And do you use it in 1.1.3? 1.2 is not supported at this point I guess.

Or just add some more scaleFactors and incrementSlide numbers. Should work.
