Stone Blue Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) So, I've been following this thread a bit, tho not religiously, like some... I just skimmed back thru the past 4 pages... Found very little on anything that might be new for 1.8.1 (I also have a terrible memory, so I'm sure I've forgotten anything I read moar than a week or two ago ) ... Is it too soon for someone to give a quick summary/changelog (doesnt need to be complete... just highlites, mebbe?), of what wonderful goodness is coming Soon™? ... vOv Edited January 21, 2020 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma88 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 this was the last changelog I wrote when I thought we were close to release Reveal hidden contents - Updated to KSP 1.8.1 - Removed particles support (Syntax deprecated) - Improved Kopernicus Solar Panels (Syntax changed) - Improved Space Center Loader (Syntax changed, old syntax will still work) - Introduced a fix for the flags going crazy (See Sigma-FlagFixer) - Improved HazardousBody (Syntax changed, old syntax will not work) - Removed HazardousOcean there were a lot more changes but all are under-the-hood stuff that should not be noticeable while playing the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Blue Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 THANK YOU, @Sigma88 , as usual, for always managing to answer my questions (relevant, and/or as dumb as they are), both here and on Discord, in a most timely manner, if not even immediately...

Expand - Removed particles support (Syntax deprecated) So does that mean the PQSmods standalone, flare export, shader export, and any of that other interesting stuff on the Kop repo will be updated, as well? ... or are those obsolete already? vOv ... i see some have not been active for a couple years or moar... vOv Edited January 21, 2020 by Stone Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You mean like from the Breaking Ground DLC? Dunno, but would be awesome. My first guess would be the Outer Planets Mod as it comes with a very wide Variety of Biomes all with their own Science Reports, Anomalies etc and is the most supported one by other Mods. IMHO the best Planet Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel like a mod. Right now when I open up the galaxy map and sarnus is missing everything feels so dull. I just cannot wait for OPM in ksp2. Modders can go crazy since axial tilt is supported. I hope adding planets is easier for them because kopernicus seems to be alot of work.

Expand IIRC there was someone in the KSP community who got to see KSP 2 in action, and remarked how easy it was for Star Theory to edit the orbital parameters of planets live via Lua scripting. I can see a system like that being accessible for modders to make their own planets and solar systems.

Rik Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 @Dr. Omicron Or do like I do and obsessively check several times per day while building out a 1.81 install with your favorite mods and writing a Sigma dimensions config to leave the JNSQ planets alone and rescale Real Exo Planets to 2.7 while trying to get Kerbalism to play nice with TAC LS for an awesomely, sucktasticly painful play through when the update drops and planet packs get updated.

Expand 1.8 was mod-breaking release mostly because of the new Unity version. 1.9 is not anticipated to have such big differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadina Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Have you ever thought about transfer this mod to squad since you don't have time to develop this mod. May be they would like to do this. You can tell them that this mod is very important to a lot of players and we wants to catch up with every update. If this is possible, and surely Squad's developers are professional, will definitely decrease your work load and of course, we, players can be benefit as well.

Expand Pretty sure Squad has their hands full with a tonne of bugs as is without taking on the community's mods. It'll get done when it's done, we can continue to be patient. For what it's worth though, I'd love to see KSP2 include a system / body scaling option by default. Would be super handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However most modders will gladly accept donations so feel free to donate to those who you feel should receive something for their tireless efforts.
