[1.3.X] Duna Restoration Project v2.0

[cyberKerb]

Thanks @Gordon Fecyk I'll finish up playing with the BIome remake and get some opinions on where best to be there equivalent. I'll probably post a few most question in the Kopernicus thread while I'm at it to get a better handle on how KSP reads the map file.

In case you have the ability to change the current download version: you want want to change these items:

Dune Plains = RGBA(152,51,0,255) = On map wrongCFG, needs to be RGBA(153,51,0,255)
Dark Spots = RGBA(102,102,204,255) = Not on Map (Should be purple-ish, but there is none on the current .PNG)
Canyon = RGBA(255,255,0,255)= On map wrongCFG, needs to be RGBA(255,255,51,255)

BTW - Thanks @BlackHat for the suggestion. I reviewed the cfg and the biome map and there wasn't anything new from what I've seen in the DunaResoration mod that would help with the biome boundaries.

Okie Dokie - here's a first draft to incorporate the 1.61 biomes over the old 0.17 Duna map. I used the same colors for the same features for ease of comparison.
Feedback welcomed

If that's the case, could I use the Biomes{} section from Stock Duna?

This map showcases how beautiful the pre-0.21 Duna is on the inside.

I should work, but I've manually set the color based on the kittopia dumps here. I wasn't able to get the kittopia biome color config to work in the current version of Kopernicus. eg: name = Northern Basin color = 0.709803939,0.160784319,0.13333334,1

So I set them through the color picker tool. Eg: name = Northeast Basin   color = RGBA(181,41,34,255)
Note: I've learnt through trial and error that the order they the biomes are loaded make a difference with regards to the intermediate biomes appearing between boundaries.
Note2: kittopia dump lists the "Northeast basin" as "Northern Basin". I got the Northeast basin from the localisation file in KSP 1.61

Comparison of all three maps:

OLD DRP (1024x512) VVVV

Redone DRP (4096x2048) VVVV

Stock from Kittopia (4096x2048) VVVV

@wile1411 Does the biome map need to be 4k x 2k? While KSP is 64-bit, I'm thinking about those lovely garbage collection pauses that still happen.

If it does, then that's OK. I'd like to incorporate this map into Alien Space Programs' version of Restored Duna, with attribution. Is there a license?

Licence for the code and biome map I posted would be 'WTFPL'  - go nuts. If you want to resize it, no prob.
I've not tried higher than 4096px width, but I know it'll work with that or lower, but the "inbetween" biomes show up stronger at lower resolution. So to properly answer you're question... no - it's doesn't have to and would work fine with the 1024px width file. However, it would be a better user experience with something higher.

Great mod. I really like old Duna. Also, thank you for biomes config and map. 

[Tabris]

sorry for the Necro.

 

is there any way of updating the CKAN listing to current KSP or Kopernicus version?

[lajoswinkler]

I'd just like to say I'm still eager to use this. Hopefully the official texture revamp of KSP will consider it. Duna is so ugly now.
