[1.8.1-1] [PLEASE FORK ME] Kopernicus & KittopiaTech

In all seriousness, patience amigo. Especially if your last post was only 15 minutes earlier.

Either way, did you add the PQS itself? Without a PQS the PQSMods won't do anything either. Add this.

		PQS
		{
			materialType = AtmosphericOptimized
			Mods
			{
			}
		}

 

I'm using the RSS Jupiter for testing purposes. So it already has PQS.

Hello guys !

I want to change the ground colors of planets. So to do that, I've edited the landClasses with something like this:

landClasses
{
	Class
	{
		alterApparentHeight = 0
		alterRealHeight = 0
		color = 0.3835821,0.29938071,0.16772109,1
		...
		...
		...
		...
		...
	}
}

But when I launch the game, nothing hapen on ground in question. Then, if I open the KittopiaTech UI, I see my settings are fine there and if I click on Rebuild Sphere my ground color appears.

My question is: Is there a way to do that without use the "Rebuild Sphere" of KittopiaTech? And if yes, what I must to do?

Hello everyone,

I'm releasing a first version of the ring shader

I don't know if this has to do with the shader, but since the issue doesn't come up with the standard kopernicus shader I guess it might:

 

basically, when loading a texture, the old shader reads the diagonal (either topleft>bottomright or bottomlefto>topright)

this means that the old shader works with both horizontal and vertical ring textures

 

from what I've heard with the new shader it is necessary to use horizontal textures, but most planet packs right now use vertical textures for rings

 

do you think it would be possible to make your new shader work with both types of textures?

it's not a big deal, but it would allow to add backward compatibility to all the planet packs

could you please post the whole cfg you are using and the modulemanager.cachefile  or whatever it's called, so that we can look what you actually did?

(please upload the files, don't paste their content directly on the forum)

I didn't even realize the old shader read the diagonal, I'll take care of it.

it's pretty easy to miss, most textures are basically very narrow rectangles

I noticed it because I tried to load a square texture once with a checkerboard patter full of different colors, and noticed how only the colors on the diagonal were featured

It was a decent time ago, but I doubt rings have changed since then

 

if you think about it, it's a very smart way to read the texture, because it allows you to read both vertical and horizontal textures

First, thank you @Sigma88 to reply to me.

Second, here are the files you asked for:

VAO_settings.cfg and ModuleManager.ConfigCache

I've only make color change to Duna at Badlands and Craters. You'll see that I use a config file I've made that is a mix with SVE and KSPRC, I hope nobody will be offend, this is only for my game and my tests...

Guys, how do you rename Kerbol like in GPP?
After that, how do you make a kerbol clone and reroute all of the kerbol system to the kerbol clone?

ok, so in the cfg there are these lines:

 

1-

			Material
			{
				texture = VisualAspectOverhaul/KSPRC/PluginData/dwarfplanet100.dds
				normals = VisualAspectOverhaul/KSPRC/PluginData/dwarfplanet101.dds
			}

from far away (ScaledSpace) the planet will look like in this texture:

VisualAspectOverhaul/KSPRC/PluginData/dwarfplanet100.dds

 

if that texture does not have the color you want, it means you need to change it's color

 

 

 

2- 

				VertexColorMap
				{
					map = VisualAspectOverhaul/KSPRC/PluginData/dwarfplanet100.dds
					order = 9999982
				}

 

this PQSMod applies the colors from the texture mentioned before onto the planet upclose

so once you change the color of the texture everything should be ok

[Vandest]

Thank you @Sigma88 for taking the time to look in my files!

I did what you told me, and made a new dds file for VertexColorMap with colors I like. And it work in game. Thank you, you've solved my problem.

Now that I know how to change the biome colors with the vertex color, I've a question: What's the color section in "landClasses" for?

it's for coloring the terrain, but in your case the vertexcolormap is covering those colors (I suppose)

That's I heard but it doesn't work without a "Rebuild Sphere" of KittopiaTech(and some times, it doesn't work at all. It's weird). Maybe the vertexcolormap takes precedence over the color section in "landClasses".

yes that's likely what's happening

[Vandest]

Ok, thank you again for your all replies.

Honestly, I'm pretty proud of myself for pulling this off without any knowledge of modding. Of course, I had help

Works perfectly, although I think @Galileo created GPP by dunking the stock system to the shadow realm and re-creating it from scratch.

It is possible to delete the sun and create a new one, but it'll require a patch editing every single planet pack, so cbNameLater is the best option as it only changes the visual name, not the internal name.

Looking at the config for Ciro, and it looks like it works. Fascinating...

Hey,

could it be, that this errors are because of Kopernicus?

 

KSP-Log and CKAN-mod-list

Kopernicus-Logs

<Snipped by moderator, please link large log files rather than inlining them>

And sometimes the Game crashes after this Errors, when I go back to the "Tracking Center".

 

They came since I installed Kopernicus, because of SVT, SVE, EVE, Scatterer.

Just read previous messges. If ur issue is that the space center doesnt show up use this:

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
    @Body[Kerbin]
    {
        PostSpawnOrbit
        {

    }
}

Use that instead of the other Kerbin reroute
