Currently working on compatibility for research bodies. In the future should i add compatibility for other planet packs by giving them their own system in the mod?

[Solar Ranger]

i have now completed a Research Bodies compibility for the next update!

[Solar Ranger]

I have added some stock asteriod generation around new planets and ive started work on contracts. Should i make this compatible with other planet packs by giving them their own system?

[Solar Ranger]

Poll to decide planet pack compatibility order between GPP and GPO

https://strawpoll.com/fyd7ay3

Both will be implemented in the future developmemt this is just to decide which to include compatibility first.

My own planets do take priority

[Solar Ranger]

The main part of version 0.2 is going to be the indroduction of custom contracts (THESE WILL NOT BE COMPLETE FOR 0.2). Between then and now i will release updates that will alter  planets from the initial release and add some mod compatibility. EVE clouds MAY be added during this time.

[Solar Ranger]

Poll is over future votes will not count first pack compatible will be Gameslinx Planet Overhaul!!!!

I hope that's in a good way

 

 

 

Trust me my planets were horrible at the start of my own mod (I'm looking at you, Niebos), I can't wait to see the new texture.

Want me to do anything to help with compatability?

That would be great!

I'm not going to add the compatibility though until I'm happy with the planets I've already added

[Solar Ranger]

 

Finally made a new texture for Verna that I'm happy with!!

All made through PQS Mods it uses: VertexSimplexHightAbsolute; VertexHeightNoise; HeightColorMap and VoronoiPlanet

A future version will overhaul the Zurbo system and  want to change the corona so it is my own work. @Galileo i was wondering how you made your star coronas?? :-)

[Solar Ranger]

Part of the next update is replacing Zurbo-A's corona. I have tried but I cant make a corona that looks good. If there is anyone who would like to help with some texture work for this mod (mainly star coronas) please send me a PM
