It does. Dessert launchsite isn’t in the desert.

In that case, I probably won't be supporting the launchpads for a bit. No money for squad, no way.

Kopernicus let’s you delete the expansion launch sites. Look at Gaels cfg in GPP.

They would be the stock launch sites. I haven't added any or adjusted any. I don't even know how to use them (does it require the expansion?)

Two alternative launch sites have been added - the Woomerang Launch Site and the Desert Launch Site (and Air Field).  I believe both require the DLC.

The location of neither site can be edited, so you're pretty much stuck with wherever they end up.  The Woomerang launch pad at least snaps to the terrain, so elevation isn't really a problem.  In GEP Woomerang ended up in the water, so I had to create an island for it.  The desert site is more problematic because its elevation and map decal can't be changed.  In both GPP and GEP it ended up in really inconvenient places and looked hideous (the map decal is enormous and looks like crap if ends up being anywhere other than on a large plain).  There was just no way to fix it, so Thomas P. added an option to Kopernicus to allow us to remove it.  Since you're not supporting the DLC, I assume you'll want to remove the Woomerang site as well.  The code to remove both sites is:

@Kopernicus
{
	removeLaunchSites = Desert_Launch_Site, Desert_Airfield, Woomerang_Launch_Site

If you wanted to, you could probably keep the Woomerang site even though you don't have the DLC.  You'd just need to place a map decal for it, then it should work for those who have the DLC.  I just used the KSC map decal and made it fit the site.  You could probably use the same code and just change the absoluteOffset to make the decal match the elevation and contours of your terrain.  Here's the code if you want to use it:

				MapDecal
				{
					name = Woomerang
					absolute = True
					absoluteOffset = 120	// change this to fit your terrain
					angle = 296
					cullBlack = False
					DEBUG_HighlightInclusion = False
					heightMap = BUILTIN/ksc_decal_heightMap
					heightMapDeformity = 15
					position = -0.5066573187, 0.7109222286, 0.4877375793
					removeScatter = True
					radius = 700
					useAlphaHeightSmoothing = True
					order = 170
					enabled = True
					index = 0
				}

The newest update -is- up on CKAN (v.3.4.0), but it's listed as not being compatible with 1.4.3, so I guess you forgot to update a definition somewhere?

@Gameslinx I have experienced a similar issue, having installed manually on a fresh 1.4.3 version. During loading a new save, the mod indicates that 1.4.3 is unsupported, and that I should use 1.3.1. Used the exact links in the installation readme to get your preferred versions of the dependent mods, have installed and played GPP and Before Kerbin in the past. I'm 95% percent sure I installed things correctly. My Gamedata

Any ideas on what might be going on? Sorry to send you my mess :/

You've done nothing wrong. I think I made a mistake with ksp-avc in the release

This question has probably been answered already, but is anyone else having issues with huge texture-based lag whenever you get close to a planetary body that isn't Gaia? (Oddly enough, I've had no real issues with Gaia, and my computer can handle the clouds just fine.) I get a very noticeable framerate drop whenever I look at Gol or Olei from within a few hundred kilometers of the surface. Didn't have this problem in earlier versions (am running the 1.4.3 version).

Hmm when I next pick up KSP again i'll remember to check this out as someone else has mentioned it before.

I have noticed a VERYSTRANGEGLITCH that really does not make sense. The orbit lines of all the planets shift this way ---> when i zoom out. they go back to normal when i zoom back in.

Is it unique to GPO? Or does this happen for other planet mods, too?

Download scatterer including its sunflares, then copy the sunflare textures from GPO/scatterer/config/sunflares/UrsaMinor/[chosen star] to your scatterer/config/sunflares/Sun, overwriting all files. Then replace the config with the one from gpo.

Finally got this working. You should release this as it's own mod. :)

Other planet planet mods don’t even add planets.

so just GPO and stock

Since you have other planet mods installed and they are not working, your KSP install is extremely unstable. I don't have this problem myself. I think it's to do with your install alone

If anyone else does, ping me.

I don't think I'm going to separate assets from my mods and release them as their own mods. Besides, @JadeOfMaar did most of the work on the sunflare and he has his own awesome collection of them "Sunflares of Maar" :)

Actually, since other mods don’t work, I uninstalled them.

Okay, fair point. You win this round! Though, I'm equally impressed with the skybox.

Hope you get it @Gameslinx :kiss:

I put a lot of easter eggs in my configs, and a lot of easter eggs in the mod itself

Also you're spelling meridian backwards by capitalising letters, so yes I get it :P

I was wondering if there is any other lore for Veronica ship other than it just crash landed on Niebos.

Also in my savefile I have KSC view camera way above KSC (like kilometer or so), is there a way to fix it?

No other lore unless you find the message in the audio logs in the mod files

And your camera is above KSC like that because you might have Kerbal konstructs installed

I got an issue with a solid white ring/disk around Gaia. I got the 1.4.3 version installed, with 1.4.3 Kopernicus, and afaik I got all the other dependencies installed with the right version.

I couldn't find anyone else asking for help with this in recent posts, so I figured I'd ask.

 

Thanks!

I discovered what the problem was that was causing the solid white ring around Gaia.

In the most rescently released version I got from the GitHub, 3.4.0, in the "GPO/config/Gaia.cfg" file, on line 116...

it says...

                texture = GPO/PluginData/Gaia_ring.png

and should be changed to...

                texture = GPO/PluginData/Gaia_Ring.png

 

The R needs to be capitalized.

 

Now everything look nice and pretty. I'll make a commit on the GitHub.

What software do you use to edit .dds files of planets?

Sooo...there is a hidden message encrypted in audio files?

Well, i found 3 audio files in, believe it or not, the logs folder but unfortunately i dont know the audio type, it seems like morse code but i honestly have no idea. VER-log1 is 4 seconds long, VER-log2 is 28 seconds and VER-log3 is 27 seconds but im probably on about something completely different, but if i am on the right tracks could Gameslinx give me a nudge ;)
