[1.4.2] Before Kerbin - 2 Billion Years before Kerbol

[MorePortal]

I also tried to make a small config for ResearchBodies (I don't know what to write in "ONDISCOVERY" so I skipped it)

Spoiler

RESEARCHBODIES
{
    loadAs = mod
    name = BeforeKerbin
    IGNORE
    {
        body = Serpent
    }
    IGNORELEVELS
    {
        Serpent = true true true true
        Atlas = true true true false
        Seth = true true false false
        Pearl = true true false false
        Kanar = true false false false
        Shard = true false false false
        Thalius = true false false false
        Sekhmet = false false false false
        Grain = false false false false
        Amethyst = false false false false
        Arkus = false false false false
        Rogue = false false false false
        Terminus = false false false false
        Frost = false false false false
    }    
}

I hope it works

I'll post an update this weekend. Thanks for telling me

I was wondering where that 1.3.1 version is as I can't seem to find it on the Spacedock site

I never got a chance to update it.

It does work in 1.6, you just have to update Kopernicus and Eve and Scatterer and it should work fine

Ah, understandable, thank you for the response!

You need to also delete the KopernicusExpansion folder from your Gamedata. The updated Kopernicus seems to have the necessary code already in it.

I used the 1.4.2 version of Before Kerbin and replaced scatterer, Kopernicus, and EVE with the latest versions.  I also removed KopernicusExpansion. This is with a fresh KSP 1.6.1 on windows; no making history.  When I started it the start screen had purple/pink face plates on the 3 kerbals.  Same in the game.  I then replaced TextureReplacer with the latest version.  That fixed the kerbals, and when I started a new game, it worked fine, but I noticed a lot more craters.  I checked my 1.3.1 version and sure enough there were many more craters and they were much deeper.  I even flew a jet to the next continent to the east and it was very obvious a bombardment had taken place, but it was really cool I even landed in couple of the crater lakes to make sure.  Is there a custom build of TextureReplacer that is required?

Also removing TextureReplacer or updating it fixes the pink visors, but the craters remain.  I also started fresh with only these mods.  Looks like a change from 1.4.2 to 1.6.1  Here are the updated mod versions I'm using.

Kopernicus-1.6.1-2

scatterer-0.0336

ModuleMangager-4.0.2

EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-1.4.2.2  (tried removing this and no change to craters)

TextureReplacer-3.7  (tried removing this and no change to craters)

I retested with only these mods.  Same thing.  Without TextureReplacer completely if fixes the pink visors, but all the craters are still there.  So I don't think the new TextureReplacer is causing the issue, but it does fix the pink visors.  Looks like something between 1.4.2 and 1.6.1.

Here are the latest versions I'm using:

Kopernicus-1.6.1-2

scatterer-0.0336

TextureReplacer-3.7  (new one)

ModuleManager-4.0.2

EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-1.4.2.2

The craters on the planet is intentional. 

Texture Replacer is currently a little broken for 1.4.2 I believe

[The Dressian Exploder]

Could anybody provide me with a config for Rouge orbiting Eden? I've tried editing the rogue config myself, changing the frame of reference and bringing down the semi-major axis, but Kopernicus wouldn't load Before Kerbin once I had...

[Evonation]

Out of Curiosity, how will before Kerbin respond with Breaking Ground DLC? as in Surface Features and of the sort.

5 gigs of ram?! Not only is that a big number, but it means I can't even check it out. That's going to limit a lot of downloads, as it seems a lot of users are using basic laptops with only 4 gig of ram. Any chance maybe a release of smaller textures?

That's storage, not ram.  You don't have 1tb of ram.

[UberPasta]

Hey, so it's been years since I played this mod (and KSP in general). I was just wondering of this mod works with the latest version of KSP? And if not, then what version should I use?

[kspnerd122]

can this work in any version if there is kopernicus

[kspnerd122]

im using laptop and have 8 gb of ram, therefore this will be tolerated by my laptop

I would guess that you would be fine up to 1.7.3 as long as the supporting mods are appropriate, but you might have trouble from 1.8 onwards, since 1.8 changed the way graphics were done. Really, though, "try it and see" is never bad advice. Good luck! 

[kspnerd122]

thanks because i want to play before kerbin and after kerbin and beyond home all at once, currently im doing after kerbin

Sounds like you accidentally deleted squad or squad is broken, not this mod.

[heuhaufen2]

Hello! I am a bit late to this but is this mod compatible with 1.8?

[kspnerd122]

No, 1.7.3 works though, however, 1.8 only added boosters, just install KW rocketry, it serves the same purpose(boosters included), the reason is the terrain shader changed.
