How do I make Binary Planets with Sigma Binary?

[Axilourous]

So, I looked around on the forums and the internet and could not find a tutorial for how to make Binary Planets...

Could someone share a cfg or something to help me understand??? Because I really want to make Binary Planets.

idk try poking around at the sigma planets config files to try finding out

[Streetwind]

Outer Planets Mod should have a config for the Plock system, try looking how that one is set up.

I tried that, I couldn't find anything, Street wind says the Plock system in Outer Planets mod has one.

I will try that, Thanks

Are you guys kidding me? In the latest version of Sigma Binary, you can use the following code to make the Kerbin-Mun Binary:

@Kopernicus
{
  @Body[Mun]
  {
    SigmaBinary{}
  }
}

(Put that in a .cfg file somewhere)

Yup, that's all you need.

@Axilourous You can download the duna-ike example to get an idea on how a cfg should look like. Just change the name "Ike" to whatever the name of the moon of your binary system is

Thanks, the main thing is I didn't know how to include it, thats why I wanted to see a full cfg.. I did look at the OPM Plock system and saw it was at the end so I'm gonna try that.

Edit: Its not working...

CFGs(Yes they are supposed to be extremely bumpy, I was seeing what it would do to it, these are test planets, that's why science value is so high too.):

You're missing the @ in @Kopernicus and also the :BEFORE tag might not belong there (according to Sigma's example). This portion of code also should be inside the .cfg for the moon that joins the binary.

[Axilourous]

Ok, thanks I already caught that the @ sign was missing, its pretty common I dont know why... And I will try removing the :BEFORE tag
