But how do i prevent the randomization from going overboard? For example. What if the game generates a star with a SemiMajorAxis that is too big. Or a planet with a radius too small. How do i enforce limits on seed generation?

Just for the record:

RND creates numbers between 0 and 1. The seed doesn't change that. (http://www.qb64.net/wiki/index.php?title=RND)

So if the SemiMajorAxis is too big, it's a problem with your Math and not with the random number generator.

It's alright. I already voided my own question when it worked in testing. Check out the new version! :D

Glad you like it :D The home screen issue is a Kopernicus error. I cant fix it until @Thomas P. find's a solution. The side buttons should do fine for now though. Just remember to make buildings indestructible in the save or you wont be able to repair them.

Kopernicus already has a workaround for that see my comment on how you can fix it on your end. Use PostSpawnOrbit: 

 @Body[<body-name>]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = <star-name>
    }
 }

@Amus you can fix your existing random galaxy "home screen" problem. Open the galaxy.cfg in your mod folder and find the following: 

@Body[Moho]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Eve]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Kerbin]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Duna]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Dres]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Jool]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }
 @Body[Eeloo]
 {
     @Orbit
     {
            @referenceBody = Kerbol
     }
 }

Replace with: 

@Body[Moho]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Eve]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Kerbin]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Duna]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Dres]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Jool]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }
 @Body[Eeloo]
 {
    PostSpawnOrbit
    {
        referenceBody = Kerbol
    }
 }

0.2.5 is out! A few new things to see! Now you can just post the seed for the galaxy you like if you want to share it. (Provided you used the Automatic generation system. If you used custom, Please post the "GalaxyGen-*Name*.txt" file)

What new features? Need explains!

Can this be used in/on an existing save?

No i don't think so. Not unless you want your current flights splattered across the galaxy :P You'll have to start a new one.

A seed system. Now you can generate your galaxy based on a single number. and you can share the entire galaxy just by sharing the number.

You can now recover previously generated galaxies by accessing the new data text files generated by the algorithm. You can also put the generator in automatic mode where the computer does all the generation.

Neat! Anything else related to galaxy generation. Also, I could make some pseudo code to generate more realistic rings...

Could you go into more detail about "generate more realistic rings"? Do you mean something like rings appear in a planet's Roche limit?

Umm.... I just tried that method and it glitched the hell out of everything. The solar system got relocated back to the core, The sunflares disappeared, and everything is lit only by ambient light.

More like actually make the rings generate gaps, but making rings generate partly in a planets Roche limit would be fine. As well as make it so the rings cannot be generated with a inner radius going into a distance 3x that of the Planets atmosphere.

It's really quite difficult to make rings behave in such a way. As the planetary radius is randomized. If i make the rings for one size, It would be too big or too small for another.

Anyone gotten this to work using OS X 10.12? I can successfully install QB64 open the .bas and build a binary, but when I try and run it, it does nothing. No errors. Nada.

 

EDIT: got it. For mac users, edit out line 10. 

'SYSTEM

That at least allowed it to launch

Oh crap... I made a mistake. You see. In the source code file on line 10 you will find a command labeled "SYSTEM" delete that and it should work. I accidentally forgot to remove it from the source code.

Did you check your logs? Can you post the cfg you modified so that I can see what's wrong?

I tried in a fresh KSP folder and got memory limit problems (I guess I accidentally launched in 32bit) but then I saw only Kopernicus star /galaxy errors and NRE flood. It's as though Kopernicus does not see the extra stars or they are missing a parameter. 

It might help that I loaded a couple of other mods simultaneously and quite possibly it could be a bizarre mis-step of MM .
