[1.2.2] Kolyphemus System - the kerbalized Polyhemus

[tbg10101]

How did you make the gas giant's texture? I'd like to learn how to make my own. 

[Badge]

For some reason when i load up the game the only moon there is Kalatea. Could someone help me out?
 

[nismobg]

there is something messed up with the configs and I can not figure out what. But this doesn't play well with other planet packs.

[triggerboi]

I love it but the only thing that bugs me is that moei's gravity is bigger than the planet he orbits so that doesn't make any sense, but it doesn't effect gameplay so it doesn't rllt matter. great mod!

Where is this planet.(you can sow me a photo of map view)

Some planet packs move or replace the Sun. If your problem is with visuals then that is because every planet pack that has its own scatterer package will fight with the next because they all enable their visuals by overwriting files in GameData\scatterer\

Blame the folks who designed the Avatar universe. This mod merely replicates them. The modder made no mention of adjusting things into practical stats and positions.  In which case, Kolyphemus should be a moon of Moei, or in binary.

The OP says in big bold text that Kolyphemus appears between Eve and Kerbin.

Wow i can sent a colony right now.But is this planet pack compatible with Opm

[JadeOfMaar]

@KerbolExplorer Of course it is. It doesn't interfere with the stock bodies and is nowhere near where OPM planets go.

Any time you add or remove a planet or planet pack in the middle of a game, expect that to happen. Always expect it.

What happens if its not in the midle of the game

Only change your solar system before you start a game save. Then try to never change it again once you're in. (Adding more planets is a great temptation)

I unistalled opm But i stiil have the bug.O yes i now have black coluds ON EVERY PLANET

[ThatGuyWithALongUsername]

Pandoor's clouds don't seem to be working properly. All the other planet's clouds are working fine. Are here any dependencies I could have missed, perhaps?

I also installed it on an existing save and had the same glitch but I kind of expected it. I installed it on a sandbox game, and it makes it a lot easier to explore the mod.

I installed the mod on a new game without any other mods and the cloud problem still shows up.

Yea but if you have 25 sats moved places

A moon will not be in a binary position with it's planet if it has more gravity.

The only time Kolyphemus would be a moon of Moei is if Moei had more mass than Kolyphemus does, which it does not.

Saturn only has .91 gees, but Earth would not make Saturn orbit it if Earth orbited Saturn, even though Earth has a higher surface gravity.

Hmm. Learn something new everyday. Then what makes a tiny terra have more gravity than a gas giant if it's not a matter of mass (or not mass alone)?

gravity is a function of mass/distance^2. The distance from earths center to earths surface is much less than the distance from saturns center to its edge so earth has a higher surface g

Because Saturn is much less dense than Earth, and what @TheRagingIrishman said.

If Saturn had Earth's density, it would have MUCH more gravity than Earth.

Holy Kraken that looks cool!

Although, @OhioBob has created a realistic approximation of the atmosphere of Pandora in his thread modeling atmospheres in KSP.

Maybe it'll be useful for this mod. (Provided @OhioBob allows his atmosphere to be used in this pack)

Moei has a higher surface gravity than it's primary, but that's irrelevant.  The primary has a much larger gravitational parameter, and that's what's important.  Moei would have no problem orbiting Kolyphemus.

The gravitational parameters for Moei and Kolyphemus can be computed from their surface gravities and radii,

GM_M = 0.95 * 9.80665 * 400000^2 = 1.4906E+12 m³/s²

GM_K = 0.90 * 9.80665 * 4000000^2 = 1.4122E+14 m³/s²

Kolyphemus has nearly 95 times more mass than Moei.

Fixed post because I'm an idiot for what I wrote the first time.

Oh crap.  I think I quoted the wrong person.  Somebody was claiming that Kolyphemus should orbit Moei, which is what I was trying to refute.  Somehow I misread the quote and got the names of the bodies all mixed up.  I must be suffering from dyslexia today or something.

If @Artyomka15 wants to use my atmosphere config, that would be OK with me.
