[1.12.x] Kopernicus Stable branch (Last Updated August 29th, 2024)

[Krazy1]

I'm having problems with kerbals sinking into terrain and exploding. Cross-post from JNSQ:

[R-T-B]

New in this latest version release-213:

1.) Add new multistar codepath/support for Sterling Systems.

2.) Add KSPAssemblyDependency that was missing for Harmony (how?!?!?!). This should help with a few load situations when dependency load orders are messy.

See Known Bugs & Caveats for known bugs.

This sounds oddly a lot like the "sinking body" problem we sometimes had when going extremely far out in space.  But actually on eve you are very close to the sun, interesting.  You do have the "Disable distant colliders" feature on, right?  Check in the Kopernicus GUI.

If it's on and you are still sinking, I have no idea but I will make an issue for you to investigate it.  KSP.log from around when it happens may help.

Never can escape the hotfix...

New in this latest version release-214:

1.) Hotfix for some missing .cfg files for Sterling Systems (in other words, the support announced last release was working in the "yes, but no" style. Now it works fully.

Loaded release 214. Confirmed "disable distant colliders" option is enabled. Nataman Kerman walked on Eve, sank slowly, exploded like before. 

KSP log

[LOG 23:08:27.836] kerbalEVAfemale (Nataman Kerman) Exploded!! - blast awesomeness: 0

Haven't had this issue with other JNSQ planets so far: Moho, Gilly, Kerbin, Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Vall. 

Thanks for looking.

Hey yall, Ive been getting the trouble loading a custom planet order warning and have been digging into the logs but have no clue how to fix it.

I have experienced it with both the Distant Skies and Kerbal infinity addon and everything has been done through CKAN.

Thank you so much for the help

 

Nevermind found the problem, CKAN didnt have the needed height map as a dependency!

Does anyone know how to properly hide the sunflare on a given star ?
Using "givesOffLight = False" doesn't work as said in the wiki "Whether the star should emit light and have a LensFlare effect, or whether it's an object like a black hole", it only cuts off the light but leaves the LensFlare in place.

The LensFlare is what I'm trying to remove but without any success so far. Is there a parameter I missed ?
Note : I need to disable both Scatterer & the Stock Sunflare.

As I recall, you just have to make the sunflare color black.  For instance, I think the following would do it for the Sun.

@Kopernicus
{
	@Body[Sun]
	{
		@ScaledVersion
		{
			%Light
			{
				%sunLensFlareColor = 0,0,0,0
			}
		}
	}
}

}

 

I've tried it but it didn't worked because of Scatterer which was applying its effects at the same time.
In the end the solution was just to create a Scatterer Sun config and replacing every flare / spikes / ghost by a black pixel. It's a bit of brute-force but it worked.

[OhioBob]

You can probably delete the scatterer sunflare by doing this:

@Scatterer_sunflare
{
	!Sun{}
}

Or whatever the name of the star is if not Sun.

[Nyxilo]

This worked, but then the stock sun reappears below. 
I got rid of it by using “givesOffLight = false” but then everything goes dark because the “Sun” doesn't emit light...as expected. Yeah. 
As in real life, the accretion disk should emit a huge amount of light (not implemented in Singularity) and this is something I want to keep (i.e. use the Sun's light instead of the Disk's).

I'll stick with my poor solution for now, I played around a bit with the Light node and the Subscale node but it got me nowhere.

In the end it looks like that : (File name is Sun.CFG)

{
    Sun
    {
        assetPath = SingularitySunFix\Assets // Black pixels

Things used to be fine booting up the game, I don't recall changing anything before I was met by this message:

I tried reinstalling many mods to no avail, was wondering if I could get some help.

Booster Guidance is giving you problems, though I don't think it's sufficient on its own to cause your Kopernicus issue.  You may want to raise it independently with the mod maintainer at

I can't help more than that, I'm afraid.  Wiser heads will prevail.

my friend, nothing in here is correct. I don't know what prompted you to do things this way, but KSP will never run like this.

I think you should start over with a fresh KSP install and use CKAN to install mods.

Kopernicus throws Logspams in my install with the latest version ... The log is constantly flooded with this message:

FYI, my work has ceased on Kopernicus.  It's not just lack of time, I just can't be bothered to work for such an ungrateful community that is constantly doing leaks of paid (and unpaid, private) users mods.

MirageDev's unpaid mod has been the subject of a leak campaign by someone.  Until such time as that stops, Kopernicus development from me has stopped as well.  Same with blackrack's work.  I don't want to see a single pirate copy in the KSP-sphere, guys.

This has actually been in effect for a few months, nearly since last release.  Consider that the last release until "no pirate builds on KSP discords and sites" is realized.  This is very much a subjective thing from my perspective, but I'll be watching.

To all legitimately appreciative and non-pirate users who had open requests, I'm sorry, but what you see is what you get until this stops.  It doesn't help things that I've been very busy lately, but at least, take solace in the fact the latest build mostly does everything most people could need.

Indeed, you reap what you sow.

Too bad it had to come to this.

This is fully understandable. Sad, that this is the way things go. I can't understand, why people need to leak stuff, that costs almost nothing compared to so many other things in life.

As for me myself, I am very thankful for all the work you and all the other modders put into all this KSP 1 has become. I just want to say thank you and hope for a continue on Kopernicus, if things get sorted. 

 

[As for my reported bug report: You may want to download the files for maybe having a look at it later on because they are only available till tomorrow about this time, because it's a filehoster free of charge.]

 

For my curiosity: What has exactly happened? What was stolen/pirated? Why should someone do that, given the fact, the affected mods surely won't a super duper premium price tag ? Things that cost less than a tasty steak shouldn't be an issue for the average adult KSP auditorium, I would guess.

In short, and as far as I'm understanding it: MirageDev is making a (very promising) re-entry FX mod, which is in closed beta testing for the moment. However someone is constantly leaking it, which is a major dick move.
Also, people (especially on reddit) are behaving like a bunch of entitled babies about Blackracks volumetric mod (and are also leaking it), and are whining about it being on Patreon.

Real, they are whining about a mod developer making something for the community for a small price to pay while looking for a job afaik.

Because somehow punishing the whole community doesn't fall under that description. And for what? For doings of one person? Great. As far as I see it, both sides are not thinking straight. The community went through some unpleasant things already, but these types of decisions will not help in the slightest. Like the person doing the leaks will care, yeah right. They will probably laugh their behind at this whole deal and start leaking mods even more. This will just feed the flame.

[modus]

I get what you're saying, but still, if someone is making something (which will be available at some point) and asks not to leak, and someone still does it, that is, imho, a dick move

Major dickinson should have been a little patient, but that is just my irrelevant opinion.

The old Kopernicus post follows:

Kopernicus Continued Planetary System Modifier is a mod that provides for the graceful introduction of custom celestial bodies in Kerbal Space Program.

For those wondering, this is the new thread for the stable branch of Kopernicus under management of R-T-B.  @prestja's old thread can be considered closed, and will soon feature a redirect link to here.  This was done because @prestja though still a project member is busy with school and we did not want to bother him for every conceivable edit.

This is usually the Kopernicus you will want.  The bleeding edge branch that used to be the "one to get" is presently for beta tests only.  If you want a safe gameplay experience, stable is here with full broad version support!  Rejoice!

How to install Kopernicus:

Extract the proper version release zip file to your KSP install directory.  Replace anything if it asks.  Do not simply replace the Kopernicus.dll file, you may miss many parts of the update if you just selectively replace like that.  Extract the whole zip, please, or use CKAN.

PS:  We have a discord community, feel free to join us.

Understandable.

Those leaks are getting annoying not only in KSP but everywhere. Hope it stops soon.

Googled that mod... looks very good. Any way to be part of that closed beta for testing and bug reporting? (legally, not by leak). Found no forum thread on that.

It's a private discord channel.  I can ask for you, but no promises.  It will eventually be completely free when done.

Also, I got your logfile stored for posterity.

To everyone else:  This should not be viewed as a punishment, rather demotivating circumstances for myself that could and may be removed.  Also, other team members could continue the project, and even may, but I'll be honest, I was doing 95% of the work the past 3 years.  Anyone is welcome to try to pick it up though, and I have nothing against that.
