And here I am, the most beautiful planet I have ever seen. The mother ship has just left 63 m / s dV, without counting the Lander. Hopefully the juice is still enough to land.

My God ... so beautiful - A big compliment to the builder.

[4d4Garrison]

@astroheiko That is the same thought I have whenever I see one of his planetary bodies for the first time. I have  yet to even visit most of them so its always a nice surprise when I flyby or enter orbit of a new body.

So Rald doesn't want to work, guess I have to go without him.

Still enough eyecandy there for everyone...

I helped make the this system and I'm in the same situation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's new and fresh and amazing in some little amount at every turn. I landed on Icarus the other day just for dev purposes and it took my breath away... I packed radiators so nothing else could get taken away though.

Here's hoping you have some difficulty settings up to help you wait and that @CatastrophicFailure has a zip in orbit for you by the time you start Ceti probes. #strategia #punny

Just starting with Iota manned landing. And I'm hoping that I just found out why it wasn't working.

EDIT: I just found out why. Forgot switching a Kerbin to Gael. Now the Kerbals have a nice bedside lamp:

But I found a rather strange looking bug:

Trying to figure out how to add sub folders to a .zip at the moment.

Create sub folders first then zip

[DarkFighter]

You can do a folder, make that folder a zip and then drag subfolders into the zip

[JadeOfMaar]

Do as Galileo said. As for adding subfolders directly to a zip, not all zipping apps might enable that.

7zip and WinRAR can do that. (They would be the most common ones)

Why use those when all you have to do is right click and send to compressed (zipped) folder?

OK, think I've got it. Have to go toil in the real world for now but someone please keep nagging me and I'll get it together tonight.

JUST DO IT. DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS.

Is that enough or do you want more?  

[CatastrophicFailure]

. . . and I'm seeing right off the bad, I'll need to make some more tweaks for Rald to work right with Researth Bodies, first.

Another good thing is that the shadows of the KSC aren't glitching.

Dang, I gotta get my butt out of the Gael system ...

[JadeOfMaar]

@CatastrophicFailure Don't forget the scatterer eclipse caster settings. That's a tablespoon more awesomesauce right there.  

[Fobok]

Has anybody ever made a switch of scale without starting a new save? I've been giving it serious thought, as I like making big rockets. Too big, really, for a stock sized system. I haven't decided yet whether I want a 3.2 or 6.4 size, (I'm not sure I'm ready for 10), but I know I want something bigger.

I do not want to start from scratch (at least when it comes to science and financial progress), and I had decided to live with it, but I just read that Blue Dog Designs will soon be putting out a save breaking update, which will likely wipe out many of my current active missions anyway.

I know that changing the scale will wipe out my current active flights, (or, I think so anyway?) But would it do anything else that I might need to worry about?

Sorry, I just realized that this would be better asked in the Sigma Dimensions thread. Sorry!

Erm... ok, how do I do that?

[JadeOfMaar]

@CatastrophicFailure Amend Scatterer's planetList.cfg or create your own containing basically this.

@Scatterer_planetsList
{	
	@scattererCelestialBodies
	{
		Item
		{
			celestialBodyName = Rald
			transformName = Rald
			loadDistance = 300000000
			unloadDistance = 500000000
			hasOcean = True
			eclipseCasters
			{
				Item = Gael
				Item = Iota
				Item = Ceti
			}
		}
	}
}

If you're adding it to the main planetList.cfg then remove the @ signs before Scatterer*

Then add Rald as an eclipseCaster item to its parent body in the main planetList.cfg. And while you're there can you add Lili as an eclipsecaster item under Tellumo? That'd be another good tourist trap for Tellumo surface missions. This minor oversight is fixed for the next GPP release.

Since I had bad luck setting up scatterer for Rald, do check through for me and let me know if you get any weird reaction in flight or map view. I did.  

Edited February 12, 2017 by JadeOfMaar

[CatastrophicFailure]

Well, I did just that. And just did that. The only weird reaction I'm getting is no eclipse of any kind, at least not from Rald. Here's my exact file:

Also, is this like a MM file? Can I prune it down to just the relevant bits for Rald?

[JadeOfMaar]

Yes, the part alone that I wrote for you is patch style with the @ prefixes but I didn't confirm how to add to an existing scattererCelestialBodies item (that is, use MM to add to Gael's entry).
