How to change the distance at which the orbit lines start / finish be displayed?

I just did some rearrange in Kerbol system (Kerbin with Mun, Duna with Pol and Jilly,  Jool now with Minmus instead of Poll)... and on certain distances planet`s orbits hides (but planet still too small to see it), and moon`s orbits still be invisible, need to zoom closer to see them. 

Does anyone noticed my post?

You're not stupid at all, in fact, I respect it that you ask for help rather than diving in head-first and complaining because stuff doesn't work afterwards. It's better to learn slowly and steadily.

I've written several guides on making planets, namely the basics, gas giants, procedrural planets and info on PQSMods.

I've also made a series of videos covering planet creation on my youtube account, but I've also listed them on this website, you can find them here.

If you're looking for some example codes, @KillAshley has made several excellent example configs, they can be found in the OP.

Also, tagging @Thomas P., perhaps it's worth mentioning my guides (written and videos) in the OP to avoid questions like this.

Thank you and I have watched your vids they still don't work got me some how so I'll use the examples

While working on updates for Kumar's Dwarf Stars, I found some bugs that could be caused by Kopernicus.

  1. When you teleport into orbit around a Kopernicus planet with HyperEdit, your ship explodes and every orbit becomes very shaky. Orbit lines may swap to the other side of the object's host body! If you revert to launch after this glitch, the terrain is broken. Thankfully, the Kraken doesn't decide to pay a visit when this happens.
  2. Sometimes, planet textures don't work and they turn into black holes with an "event horizon" over 5 kilometers below sea level. I managed to do that to 99d in KDS.
  3. Getting stuck in an inflatable heat shield while going through the atmosphere of a Kopernicus planet can glitch a Kerbal so bad that s/he is transcended into giant stretches of texture over 1,000 kilometers across - about or larger than the size of Kerbin! Take that, Danny! This also happened on 99d, before it turned into a black hole.

Fun times, exploiting those glitches. Glitch #3 was sorta done by Danny2462, and he is aware of how to use planets and heat shields to transcend kerbals, too. All I can say to Jeb is to run for his life. Oh wait, he can't - he was the kerbal I killed with the glitches on 99d.

(BTW I don't want these glitches to be fixed)

Apart from issue 2 I dont see anything that is caused by Kopernicus here, and even issue 2 is not supportable, because you didn't post your log files.

Yes. In a few simple steps you can change it back to Kerbin (or any other planet):

Step 1. Copy a .cfg file from any mod

Step 2. Open it with Notepad or better, Notepad ++ and delete everything inside.

Step 3. Paste in the following code: 


@Kopernicus:FINAL
{
	%mainMenuBody = Kerbin
}

Step 4. (optional) Make a folder named MainMenuLock and place the config inside. Give the config a name, like MainMenuFix.

This should work, let me know if it does/doesn't.

Awesome! Now that I know what to look for, I found the .cfg file that was changing it actually. It was Sarvin's config file from Kerbol Origins. Not surprising because Sarvin is the planet that it's always displaying now. I deleted the line %mainMenuBody = Sarvin" and now it's back to normal. Thanks!

So this is wrong, @Sigma88?

remove the file extension and it should be fixed

I posted this on the Scatterer thread and was told to come here..

My issue is with the stock sun flare. Since I have scatterer installed, it comes with its own sun flare. I was told that both sunflares are overlapping because of kopernicus and I wanted confirmation on that, as well as how to actually remove the stock sunflare.

Thanks!

Download stock visual terrain and checkout the sun.cfg I included.  It should do what you want

You need to change the radius of the planet, as sea level is hardcoded as the radius of the planet.


Can't you just elevate the entire terrain of a planet with VertexHeightOffset?

How would one change the sea level of a planet?

Try this: 

@Kopernicus:FOR[PlanetSealevelChange]
{
	@Body[PlanetName]
	{
		@PQS
		{
			Mods
			{
				VertexHeightOffset
				{
					offset = VALUE
					enabled = true
					order = 9999999
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Change 'PlanetName' with the name of the planet you want to edit, and change 'VALUE' with the amount of meters you want to raise or lower the sea level. Keep in mind though that you are actually raising or lowering the surface of the planet relative to the ocean, so any offset above 0 will lower sea level and any value below 0 will raise sea level.

Could someone clarify that this Ocean parser is correct?  

Ocean
		{
			maxQuadLengthsPerFrame = 0.03
			minLevel = 2
			maxLevel = 16
			minDetailDistance = 16
			oceanColor = RGBA(45, 164, 204, 255)
			Material
			{
				colorFromSpace = RGBA(70, 188, 227, 255)
				color = RGBA(70, 188, 227, 255)
			}
			FallbackMaterial
			{
				colorFromSpace = RGBA(70, 188, 227, 255)
				color = RGBA(70, 188, 227, 255)
			}
			Mods
			{
				AerialPrespectiveMaterial
				{
					globalDensity = -0.00001
					heightFalloff = 6.75
					atmosphereDepth = 150000	
					DEBUG_SetEveryFrame = true
					cameraAlt = 0
					cameraAtmosAlt = 0
					heightDensAtViewer = 0
					enabled = true
					order = 90
				}
				OceanFX
				{
					Watermain
					{
						waterTex-0 = BUILTIN/sea-water1
						waterTex-1 = BUILTIN/sea-water2
						waterTex-2 = BUILTIN/sea-water3
						waterTex-3 = BUILTIN/sea-water4
						waterTex-4 = BUILTIN/sea-water5
						waterTex-5 = BUILTIN/sea-water6
						waterTex-6 = BUILTIN/sea-water7
						waterTex-7 = BUILTIN/sea-water8
					}
				framesPerSecond = 1
				spaceAltitude = 150000
				blendA = 0
				blendB = 0
				texBlend = 0
				angle = 0
				specColor = 0.0,0.0,-1,1
				oceanOpacity = 0
				spaceSurfaceBlend = 0
				enabled = true
				order = 29
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

I have a few questions not relating to the bugs I pointed out earlier:

  1. What are the "Mode" and "Icon" things used in Sigma Binary? Sigma88 said they were Kopernicus stuff, not something added by SB.
  2. How do you turn down the albedo/brightness/reflective-ness of a planet's surface?
  3. How do you create custom terrain scatter, like rocks with different colors?
  4. What is the config structure for particle effects?

Also, here are the solutions to the 3 bugs I found:

  1. HyperEdit wasn't working correcting on this specific planet because of the odd binary system it was in. It was rather close to the barycenter.
  2. Dang Space Engine textures!
  3. It turns out that, no matter what, Inflatable Heat Shields can spaghettify Kerbals. All Hail the Kraken!
