[1.9.1 - 1.10.x] Beyond Home 1.5.0 (Supports Parallax)

NotSerum · July 11, 2023

Both this mod, and as well as gameslinx's planet overhaul both have a completely black sky on Kerbin, is there a specific mod known to cause this? Or is it just my plethora of visual mods, eve, parallax, volumetric clouds, spectra, etc.

Nicky21 · July 21, 2023

Does this work on ksp 1.2.5 ?

EmoneyMadness · August 30, 2023

@Gameslinx Whenever I use this mod the terrain around my craft is invisible, but collisions still happen. How can I fix this? Thank you so much!

Neebel · November 9, 2023

So realistically, this mod is dead and forgotten now, isn't it? ;.;

I do not plan on updating it again. Although, @ballisticfox0 maintains an up-to-date version of the mod with an updated Parallax version

Wait really? I honestly had no idea, that's great news!

Go to the beyond home Github and open the "forks" page. From there you should see balisticfox's update

The mod works perfectly on 1.12.5 and looks amazing. But does anyone know how to make the ground not 3D?

Iso-Polaris · December 26, 2023

How do I take scientific data from those generated structures ?

Iso-Polaris · December 29, 2023

How do I increase the range of the terrain scatters so I don't crash on them.

Surprisingly, blackrack's volumetric cloud mod adds clouds to Rhode pretty much flawlessly. This doesn't extend to any other planets however, they just get the usual 2d clouds. Why would rhode have this in the first place, is it because it's named "kerbin" internally? Can I change the names of the other planets and get volumetric clouds on them too?

Replying to my own question, you just need to change the names in the volumetric cloud configs, here's verna Screenshot_129.png?ex=65c085a1&is=65ae10

That assumption is actually correct, up until a couple weeks ago all homeworlds needed be named Kerbin internally

Since EVE just points to the body Kerbin (Kerbin)'s clouds end up getting applied to Kerbin (Rhode)

I wonder if OPM will work properly on this planet pack,is there any problem?Has anyone tried,

Trying to pick up Beyond Home in 2024 on KSP 1.12.5. I've had it successfully working in the Parallax 1.x era. With the latest versions of the 3 core mods:

BH from @ballisticfox0 : https://github.com/ballisticfox/BeyondHomePlanetMod
Kopernicus v198 https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases
Parallax 2.0.6 https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases

... I then get stuck on the "Loading" spinner animation before the main title screen, with this in the end of KSP.log:

Spoiler

Has anyone had any luck getting Beyond Home to run on Parallax 2? Or do you have any leads on these error messages? Any help is appreciated, and many thanks to the mod authors involved, this work is amazing.

add ksp version

On another tack, I've started trying to get BH working with the Parallax 1.x. With just the three core mods on KSP 1.12.5:

BeyondHome 1.5.2 from the original author https://github.com/Gameslinx/BeyondHomePlanetMod
Kopernicus v198 https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases
Parallax 1.3.1 which specifically mentions BH https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases/tag/1.3.1

I get a black square around the launch pad, similar to these reddit posts:

Here's my version: https://imgur.com/a/dMFXIRX

The square goes away around a height of about 2km.

The fix mentioned in the reddit posts is to get the correct version of Parallax, but that should be done already. Perhaps next I'll try working backwards through the Parallax 1.x release history. Any pointers or help is greatly appreciated; I'm not a modder, so nothing is obvious to me.

Hopefully there's a still way to play this wonderful planet pack!

For Linx's Beyond Home you must use Parallax 1.0.1, for my fork you need to use parallax 2.0.6

I got a working solution! I combined these versions:

BeyondHome 1.5.3 from @ballisticfox0 (thank you for your help!) https://github.com/ballisticfox/BeyondHomePlanetMod/releases/tag/1.5.3
Kopernicus v199 which just released, as of this writing https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases/tag/release-199
Parallax 2.0.6 https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases/tag/2.0.6

I did not install the "ParallaxStockTextures" pack as mentioned by the BH readme. I did install the "ParallaxStockScatters" pack. There is a warning popup at launch about the missing terrain config, but ignoring it seems harmless.

For diagnostics: since my last post I've been varying the version of Kopernicus in combination with Parallax 2.0.6 and BH 1.5.3. Because @R-T-B just released a new version of Kopernicus, and now everything works fine, I think that was the problem causing my "infinite loading spinner" error. And because the Parallax 2.x version is a lot better than 1.x, I'm gonna abandon figuring out the black squares problem.

I hope this helps other folks looking to play Beyond Home! Thanks to everyone who makes these amazing mods. KSP 1 continues to give and give and give!

I got the infinite loading thing too, uninstalling Parallax from CKAN and manually installing it without the StockScatters and StockTextures fixed it.

How do you gather science from the scatters around, are they supposed to be like surface features, or is there another way to collect science off them? Further reading suggests its not BG, but I can't seem to get the pop-up for EVA kerbals on any scatters?

Edit: Further testing suggests it's a bug, though I can't seem to find any issue with the module manager that adds the experiments, using ballisticfox's fork. It does register in the logs as actually patching, too.

For some reason, Rhode is transparent (or the scatters of other planets are rendering on top):

Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks so much for updating this @ballisticfox0! My favourite planet pack by far.
Does volumetric clouds work everywhere with this mod?

Ah I'm having the same problem, was wondering if it's a bug. I just unlocked the BG scanning arm in the tech tree but it doesn't work on any of the Parallax features unfortunately, and none of the Breaking Gound surface scatters are showing up on any planets either. (I'm on ballisticfoc0's version and Parallax 2.0 too) If you find a solution please let me know!
