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

[Tonas1997]

Quick question: does the 1.3.1-13 backport include the "flickering orbital lines" fix?

[Nicky21]

I'm getting a log spam along with some frequent lag . The log says "warning [Kopernicus] : removing 64 colliders. What is this error related to ?

1.3.1-13 doesn't open Space Center scene, plays Duna SSTV audio

I submitted an issue on Kopernicus-Backport about 1.3.1-13 not working right at all. 1.3.1-12 works with odd colouration, and 1.3.1-11 seems fine.

In that configuration I only have Kopernicus and its dependencies installed. Not even any customizations to the planetary system. Logs, screen shot of GameData and video recording are attached to the issue.

Does anyone know if Kopernicus allows you to replace ground scatter objects?

Same here. I updated my 1.3.1 modpack to the latest version of Kopernicus mainly to get rid of the "flickering orbital lines" glitch, but the backports don't seem to include the fix...

Thanks, I poked in GPP and found some examples. Did you experiment with creating new scatter models at all?

I have. I have created new trees and plants, buildings. Others have created animated animals and things of that nature.

[Poodmund]

Or crazy monstrous Sea Gulls that threaten to catch and carry away Kerbals at any given opportunity.

Buildings! That sounds interesting, did you ever release that?

That’s awesome.

Oh wow, yeah, building scatter would be great - just designate certain biomes of the planet as being "town" and have it automatically populate a bunch of houses or something. This could even go together with Kerbal Konstructs modeled parts using the "remove scatter" option on KK's MapDecals to have a desgined "downtown" area surrounded by what is basically autogen towns or suburbs.

Is that project abandoned, or is it available somewhere @Galileo?

It was never really a true project, more just experiments. Some of the plants, trees and unique anomalies will eventually wind up in a planet pack that I may or may not be working on. Can’t confirm nor deny that.

Nothing to see here...move along, move along.

Ah cool. There is so much untapped potential in Kopernicus. I combed through your GPP configs, and I think I have a good idea on what I need to do. 

I assume scatter models are good old .mu files?

No kopernicus doesn’t use .mu files. I use simple .obj for my models.

I have a mod (Resonant Orbit Calculator) which generates thumbnails of each planet at game startup.  With some if not all Kopernicus planet packs, it's failing because of the onDemand feature.

So, how can I do an onDemand to have it load the planet textures so that I can properly generate the thumbnails?

Thanks

@Thomas P. not sure if you saw this question

[Cyrus Playz]

I wanna say(if u don't listen thats fine)but do your kittopia tech work in 1.4.5?Cuz Mine didn't

I saw it and I was too busy to answer it

Basically what you have to do is tell Kopernicus that it should load the textures. Sadly I only have the code KittopiaTech uses as a reference, which is compiled against Kopernicus so I can reference it directly. What you would have to do is to use reflection to call the load and unload functions.

Load: https://github.com/Kopernicus/KittopiaTech/blob/master/src/UI/PlanetSelector.cs#L142-L151

Unload: https://github.com/Kopernicus/KittopiaTech/blob/master/src/UI/PlanetSelector.cs#L162-L165

I can write a quick reflection wrapper later (maybe tomorrow) if that's helpful for you.

(and I still don't understand why OD doesn't trigger itself because it should load the textures as soon as they are visible in a camera. Unity I love you)

Sorry, I didn't realize you weren't the Kopernicus author.

If you could do that wrapper, that would be great, I won't have time to be able to do anything like that for a while, but I should be able to drop in a couple of calls to the wrapper in my mod.

Thanks

Do I have have to upload logs again?

(also I am going to camp so if I need to upload log don't expect me to get it tomorrow

I haven't had the chance to test it yet, but this should work https://gist.github.com/StollD/cdf365e1a07de379cddfacbeada6486b

Please forgive the interruption, but we're trying to decide something for CKAN and would appreciate feedback from Kopernicus's community. Specifically, we want to decide on a "tag" or category label to describe planet pack mods. Ideas so far are "environment, "locations," "planet-pack," and "solar-system"; I was optimistic about that third one until I checked the Snarkiverse thread and found it explicitly says it's not a planet pack. If you have thoughts on this, either opinions about those options or suggestions for better ones, please post comments on this GitHub pull request (rather than taking up more space on this thread):

I would say use "planet-pack" personally. Alternatives could be "Planetary-body-mods" or "planet-and-orbit-mods"?

Is kopernicus compatible with 1.5?
