[KSP 1.12.1+] Galileo's Planet Pack [v1.6.6] [23 Sept 2021]

[darwinpatrick]

@OhioBob Circling back to the issue of Tarsiss's lakes color- I see in the config that the stock textures for water are used, making it look blue-green from within the atmosphere and while floating in it.

This is significantly different than what's seen everywhere else- in the map view, tracking station, from low orbit in flight, and even the texture file the lakes are blue-white.

Is this color discrepancy intended? It seems to me like the water you float in should look totally different (i.e., blue-white, same color as from orbit) than the water back on Gael. I mean, it's methane!

I'm certain the blue-white color is intended because that's what's in the color map.  I need to ask, do you have Kittopia Tech installed?  Kittopia has been know to alter the color of oceans.  If so, uninstall it a try again.  If the oceans are still too blue, I can look into it.

[darwinpatrick]

I don't have it installed, no. As for the oceans, I'm looking at the config and I'm pretty sure this is the relevant bit in the GPP_Planets/Tarsiss file. What I'm wondering is, what's the ocean color like on your end if you splash down there?

The problem is that Tarsiss is using Laythe's ocean texture, which has color built into it.  There's nothing I can do to fix it using configs only.  We either need to make our own water texture that matches the scaled space color, or we need to change the scaled space color map to match the water texture.  In either case it requires new or modified textures, and that's not something I really want to do.  I prefer to leave any texture work to Galileo, and he hasn't shown any interest in KSP for months.

You can try this patch, which I think improves it some.  The near color it still different from the far color, but I tried to blend the transition a little better.

Thanks! I'll try the patch tomorrow but my Gauss grand tour is over and I don't think I'll be putting boots on Tarsiss again soon- still, from a development perspective, I'll sandbox it and see how it looks. I almost wonder if using Eve's ocean textures would look good as it's a light purple which is much closer to the desired light blue than the dark blue...

[darwinpatrick]

I'm surprised that the large high plateau groups on both of Catullus's poles remain polar with the intermediate axis theorem at work. Eventually the moon would spin 90 degrees such that they'd both end up at the equator, but I'm not sure how Gauss and Tarsiss would come into play. Interesting to think about

GPP Patch

Many of you have undoubtedly experienced a terrain bug while playing GPP or other planet packs that looks like this:

Thanks to @R-T-B, the cause of this has been identified.  I've written a patch for GPP that should fix it.  Just download the following zip file, select the version of KSP that you are currently using, and install the patch as indicated.  If playing KSP v1.10+, no patch is required.

Download GPP Patch

[darwinpatrick]

If I have both GPP and GEP, will I need to add both this and the one on the GEP thread?

[JadeOfMaar]

@darwinpatrick Yes. The patch download for one mod won't contain fixes for another mod. That's how OhioBob structured them.

[DrGonzo94]

I'm experiencing a bug with Galileo where the game very often freezes on automatic time compression changes (or maybe situation changes?). I've tried it with different versions of KSP (1.8.1, 1.9.1, 1.10.1) and also release- and bleeding edge versions of Kopernicus. It's completely reproducible in all configurations where Galileo 1.6.5.0 is present. I does not produce any error messages in the log, as far as I can analyze. Issue does not appear in vanilla, and disappeared completely when I downgraded Galileo from 1.6.5.0 to 1.6.3.1. 

I'm quite happy with 1.6.3.1, but thought I'd let you know.

Ah, I assumed it to be a texture loading problem, because it freezes on approach to Gael from Ceti or Iota for me. Your explanation(s) might also work.

But it IS always during timewarp, so maybe it's a certain date (eg. day 57) that triggers it? Will try this out somewhere this week.

Hullo

It's always during timewarp, but more specifically during warp time compression CHANGES. At first I thought it was the due to loading the new planet or moon, but it can happen even without a change of SOI - such as an altitude change. When it happens in connection to an SOI change, it also doesn't really happen AT the SOI change, but rather when timewarp gears down AHEAD of it.

Tried it in many different situations, don't think it was due to a specific date or time. 

I've solved it by downgrading though, and if I'm the only one affected maybe it's something odd with my setup.

Mechjeb2 should work with GPP.  I don't use MechJeb myself, but I'm pretty sure it was tested with GPP a long time ago.  I don't know if anything has changed since then.

I experience the exact same problem ! Often freezes completely  during auto time change, but on some occasions it also happen when I manually change it. Seems to happen only when I'm approaching a new celestial body...

GPP is the only mod I have installed.

I will try to downgrad it like you and see if it fixes the issue.

Is Gael supposed to be the only planet with clouds? Because it seems that Tellumo should also have clouds. Also Nodens has no clouds. I have GU as one of my mods as well, but I'm not sure if that is causing these no clouds

Expand  

Several planets should have clouds - Gael, Tellumo, Gratian, Catullus, Hadrian, Nodens and Epona.  Sounds like you likely have a mod conflict.  It could be GU, though I don't know much about it.  Your best bet is to remove mods until you find the one causing the problem.

@Drupegod02, I suggest you delete these:

• Environmental Visual Enhancements - Stock Planet Config files (EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-HR 2:EVE-1.2.2-1)
• Scatterer Default Config (Scatterer-config 3:v0.0632)
• Scatterer Sunflare (Scatterer-sunflare 3:v0.0632)

GPP and GEP comes with all its own configs.  Adding the default configs for those mods are likely messing things up.

I just installed GPP again after years of playing this one. I ran into a snag when scaling up the system....

 

There are no error messages, no warnings, no nothing. Just this... I have reached out to a few ppl that know more about planet pack building as me and we cant seem to figure out why this happens. This is a clean install, only GPP and KK installed, tried it on various versions... i always end up with this. So i'm hoping someone here knows a fix for this.

What's different about it in the Wiki versus the game?  Is it the light level that you're referring to?  If so, you can remove the following file:

GameData/GPP/GPP_Configs/SunCurve.cfg

That should make the light level the same across all planets with no drop off in intensity.

Sorry, I should have posted screenshots. I put it around Urlum in my game, but moving planets and moons around has never affected visuals like this for me before.
