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

did you manage to reproduce this issue without the planet pack in question?

if you are getting the bug on a stock install with only kopernicus, MFI and MM it would help a lot narrowing down the culprit

 

In any case, I'll need you to find the minimum amount of mods that causes the bug, then click the nyan cat in my sig.

you'll find a list of files that we need to debug issues. upload those and we'll take a look as soon as we have some time

My bug report :  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw7hQshBGdXHWld0bHlUUWF0MFU

I have reproduced the issue with minimum mods：

Kopernicus

Modular Flight Integrator

MechJeb2

Any help?

I was reading some code in GPP, and I noticed a PQS-Modlike bit of code in the ScaledVersion node called ProceduralGasGiant. Does this generate the textures for the gas-giant planets in the mod? If so, how does it work?

That was in an old version of GPP and does nothing.  It is used with Kopernicus Expansion, though the code and ramp texture included in GPP does not work. It was merely there as a placeholder. It has been completely removed in the later versions of GPP. Also, the procedural gas giant plugin for Kopernicus Expansions is not an easy alternative to creating a texture. In fact, it won't create a texture for you at all, so if you are hoping for it to make a procedural texture for you, it doesn't do that. It merely warps a small ramp texture using noise to create an effect.

How do i turn the sun into a blackhole (disable light from it).

I wrote this config, but it doesnt seem to work:

Spoiler

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
	@Body[Sun]
	{
		@Properties
		{
			%displayName = Blackhole
		}
		!Coronas
		{}
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			@Light
			{
				@givesOffLight = false
			}
			@Material
			{
				emitColor0 = 0,0,0,1.0
				emitColor1 = 0,0,0,1.0
				sunspotColor = 0,0,0,1.0
				rimColor = 0,0,0,1.0
				rimPower = 0
				rimBlend = 1
			}
		}
	}
}

The sun doesn't have a Light and a material node by default. It doesn't have a coronas node either.

You need to remove the @ characters in front of "Light", "Material" and "givesOffLight". As for the coronas, you need to add "removeCoronas = true" to the template node of the sun.

I recently upgraded my KSP version to 1.3, and I've been having some trouble with the new version of Kopernicus. For some reason, planets do not appear to be illuminated by the sun, and an infinitely distant sun appears beyond the solar system. The only mods I am using are KerbolOrigins, and KittopiaSpace. What is going on here? Should I go back to 1.22 were everything worked?

Revert to Kopernicus 1.3.0-4 and read back a few pages for further answers/insight.  1.3.0-5 adds new sun params, without which, every star will light things over infinite distance.

I'm using Kerbol Origins but not Kittopia Space with KSP 1.3 and the current version of Kopernicus without this issue, I'd check if it works without KittopiaSpace (and then also check with an earlier version of Kopernicus, you don't want to update Kopernicus until the pack in question is also updated for it)

I uninstalled KittopiaSpace; it had no effect.

I've already stated this multiple times in the past but I'm going to repeat myself.

If you have any kind of problems while using a planet pack + kopernicus you should report your issues to the developers of the planet pack.

We can't be expected to fix all the problems that arise from the use of all existing planet packs.

 

this topic should be used to discuss kopernicus and the problems of kopernicus itself, not those caused by third party planet packs over which we have no control.

 

thank you everybody for your understanding

I fixed the problem that i posted above, but i ran into another one.

Now all the planets that i placed in orbit of the new copy of Kerbol that orbits the blackhole do not receive sunlight and the KSC view is pitch black, only the UI is visible.

Heres my config file for new Kerbol:

Spoiler

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
	Body
	{
		name = Kerbol
		cacheFile = KerbolEscape\Cache\Kerbol.bin
		Template
		{
			name = Sun
		}
		Properties
		{
			sphereOfInfluence = 120000000000
		}
		Orbit
		{
			referenceBody = Sun
			semiMajorAxis = 4500000000000
			inclination = 0
            eccentricity = 0
			longitudeOfAscendingNode = 0
            argumentOfPeriapsis = 0
            meanAnomalyAtEpoch = 0
            epoch = 0
			color = 0.99,0.72,0.074,1
		}
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			Light
			{
				givesOffLight = true

		}
	}
}

how are you reparenting kerbin to orbit kerbol?

I turned the sun into a blackhole and made a new star called Kerbol that orbits it and then i put Kerbin into orbit around it (new star Kerbol).

I turned the sun into a blackhole by making it pitch black and removing coronas and light emission.

ok, I'll try to be more clear.

show me the cfg you are using for reparenting kerbin to orbit kerbol

[JadeOfMaar]

@alex_1313 Psst......... psst.... Don't forget to crank up the black hole's gravity to over 9000. Right now it only has as much gravity as Eve.

to reparent kerbin you can't change the referencebody for KSP reasons

you need to add a PostSpawnOrbit node instead:

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
	@Body[Kerbin]
	{
		PostSpawnOrbit
		{
			referenceBody = Kerbol
		}

That fixed the space center view, but still no light visible on and around Kerbin.

Try adding intensity curves and see if that helps, I did this for my own Intergalactic mod:

        	ScaledVersion
        	{
            		Light
			{
				IntensityCurve
				{
					key = 0 0.55
					key = 1000000 0
				}
				// other star parameters
			}
		}

Hope this helps

I simply deleted Kerbin, then added a new one exactly like the stock one, but reparented to Kerbol.

How close is Kerbol's orbit around the black hole?  Unless its quite generous and circular, there would likely be an accretion disk around the black hole from infalling matter, which does produce visible light (along with plenty of other EM radiation).  This is no help in fixing your code, but it is a valid real physics reason to give your black hole a non-zero luminosity as far as Kopernicus is concerned.
