They're not saying yet exactly how many, but when we asked them about it at the studio tour on Wednesday ("how many?") their answer was one word: "Multiple." So, yes, more than one. Well, that is certainly... At least one more than I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowmage Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 19 hours ago, Nightside said: DX11 support for KSP 1.8? Great news! Somebody better make sure @Shadowmage hasn't fainted! Actually... I'm more excited that I'll finally be able to stop running six different versions of Unity Editor for all the different deprecated-but-still-used-in-KSP features I need to use alongside the newer versions for my own personal projects. But... ditching all of the hacks I had to do to fix PartIcons in DX11 for TU would be nice as well (assuming they are actually fixed for Standard shader...which I still have my doubts on).

EchoLima Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I think I'm equally excited for KSP 1 and 2. KSP 2 is huge but 1.8 is coming sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the surface of say vall going to be different in ksp 2 (Will one coordinate be different between both games) I guess I'll give you an example: Eve has a tall mountain in ksp 1 but will the same place on eve have that mountain?

While I’m sure KSP2 will ship with multiple systems, I’d imagine even more systems would be fodder for DLCs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmage Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just now, JPLRepo said: Well they are. When we say DX11, all shaders are including part icons. Sure, I would expect nothing less than full support for the stock parts and KSP-specific shaders; they just needed a recompile to work for DX11 with the proper flags setup in the project configuration. But if I import a part that uses the Unity Standard (metallic) shader, will the PartLoader code that creates icons use a proper replacement icon-shader? How about other custom shaders... what icon-shader would get used in those instances? Is there a way to insert new entries into the Shader -> IconShader mappings? (previously/currently not exposed that I could find / or possibly hard-coded in a switch statement somewhere?) (notably, there are currently issues if any non-KSP-specific shader is used, where the PartIcon defaults to using a legacy diffuse shader rather than a PBR shader, with no config based options that I've seen to specify what icon-shader variant should be used) (or... alternatively.... will the icon-shader sources be included in PartTools, so that proper replacements might be developed?)

I will check - but pretty sure if it's not using a KSP part shader there is a part icon shader there now that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Peabody Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 There are things that I like about the old game and things that I like about the new game. The most important issue for me will be whether KSP 2 still essentially feels like the original KSP. Call me sentimental, but I've grown to love every part of this game. It will hurt to see it change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sounds like a great mod to write, albiet I would prefer to see it *built-in* myself. @JPLRepo one more question I should have asked previously: currently .NET 3.5 is used, is this going to go to a newer version say .NET 4.8?

From the OP: Quote Still, there will be several changes, due to the introduction of the Roslyn compiler, which brings full C#7 support and moving to full .NET 4.x API (.NET 3.5 support is deprecated).

Klapaucius Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 One of the things I noticed in 1.7.3 was a change in the power consumption of the robotic parts. 1.7.3 pretty much made my Frog and Walker unusable due to their sudden sucking down of huge amounts of electricity. I'm hoping this is being looked into for 1.8. I filed a bug report, but not much seems to have progressed. https://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/issues/23175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
