[1.2.2] Kolyphemus System - the kerbalized Polyhemus

[The Minmus Derp]

I tested your system in US2 and Moei gets completely ripped apart in 5 years. Please do one of these things.

A. Make it smaller and move it out.

B. move it out even further.

@The Minmus Derp I'll have you know that this mod is very dead.... This mod maker has not been around since the last update to their mods (for KSP 1.2.2). Due to the license it is not allowed for anyone to revive and update this mod directly or use its configs or textures for new things.

Not exactly.

One can write a new plugin with the functionalities updated to work on 1.4.3 - as long it's a clean room implementation. Then this guy can distribute its plugin separately, with Kalyphemus as a dependency. Obviously, some original files must be deleted (the DLLs) and/or renamed - but as long as this happens on the user's machine after installing the original bundle, it's ok.

This new guy can even redistribute the original bundle on his website if he wants (so if the bundle vanishes from the web, he can still provide a copy).

From here:

@Lisias  Since when did the license change to CC-SA?

I don't know. First time I saw. :-)

I noticed that Kalyphemus is CC-SA, and Kargantua is under CC-NC. But what I said above are valid for both.

What DLLs? 

And, unless there is something not visible from the web page, you can certainly rebuild and redistribute.

So I looked at the mod, and it doesn't have any code.  So anyone can revive this for 1.4.3, as long as they stay within the license; ie:  No Commercial etc.

I was talking about the licensing, not about the mod.

Easy. Karkantua is licensed under the CC-NC-ND. Somehow (it's some time since I wrote on this thread), Kargantua came to the discussion (perhaps the OP had assumed that Kolyphemus had the same license as Kargantua? I don't remember).

[linuxgurugamer]

That makes sense. 

I'm trying to get this working in the current version of Ksp.   So far it is working but the rings are all black.   Right now it's running on a long term test to see if it is stable.

This explains the Instantiator coming back to the light these days! :D

I found the original Instantiator source code somewhere (a dropbox or gist, something like that), but I couldn't do much due two things: a) I barelly understand Unity, how much the different versions for Unity; b) there's a (allegedly) copyright violation somewhere, and I though that Instantiator could be the source and I do not have background enough on KSP to tell the true.

In a way or another, I found it way over my head, and resign myself to play KSP 1.2.2 to enjoy Kargantua.

I think I know what's going on with the rings

 What is the Instantiator?

Got the rings working.  I need to reorganize the mod and will then release a beta.

How do you test this in US2?

[The Minmus Derp]

I added all the planets into a sim.

Welcome to the forum! Please read the rules and don't pester mod developers to update their mods, preferably ever into the future.

If you have not noticed yet, the developer has been missing in action for over a year. The mod utilizes content it is not permitted to, and has yet to have been picked up. In spite of all this, it's still worth a shot to test the mod out with the latest version of Kopernicus and KSP.

[BGYT]

I Luv this mod

but plz update it to ksp 1.5
