R-T-B Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) 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. 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!

vs120 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It made my day. I downloaded the release-27 just 35 second after release on Github. Now i'm playing in RSS again with KSP 1.11.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4cheesecake Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Unfortunately, release-27 failes to load in KSP 1.8.1. Tried updating through CKAN and manually installing the version found on github, always results in a massive exception spam. It happens in my highly modded JNSQ install: https://www.dropbox.com/s/easwjzjtmqug1ue/Player (kopernicus_issue).log?dl=0 And also in a fresh copy of KSP with just kopernicus installed (github version, release-27, manually installed): https://www.dropbox.com/s/b429s3rdh9vr6gi/Player(kopernicus_issue_fresh_copy).log?dl=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was the System.cfg shipped with the wrong line endings, which changed the file hash and triggered a safety check. Doh!

R-T-B Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) New hotfix to fix some CKAN versioning issues, it is otherwise 100% identical: Kopernicus release-28 R-T-B released this New in this latest version (release-28) 1.) This release corrects a CKAN versioing error and is otherwise identical to version 28. The release notes below are the same from here. 2.) 1.10.1 and 1.11.1 support has been added to stable branch. 3.) Kopernicus_Config.cfg now accepts parameter UseKopernicusAsteroidSystem with accepted values "true" (default, use Kopernicus Custom Asteroid Generator and scrub Sentinel contracts), "false" (use external mod asteroid generator, or none at all), and "stock" (uses stock game generator, only good for stock system). These values are case insensitive and DO NOT use quotes. 4.) Various vetted bugfixes to many things (shaders, solar code, etc) from the bleeding edge have been imported. This fixes nearly all known bugs across all platforms (other than those listed below), and should result in a very stable experience. 5.) Performance improvements were managed as well, also taken from tested bleeding edge experiments. 6.) ModularFlightIntegrator updated to latest mainline 1.2.9 (you may update this with updates sourced from Sarbian freely). Known Bugs: 1.) At interstellar ranges, heat can sometimes behave strangely, sometimes related to map zoom (be careful zooming out). It is best to turn off part heating when traveling far far away. 2.) When zooming out all the way out in map view at interstellar ranges, the navbal furthermore sometimes behaves oddly. We are working on this and all the interstellar bugs actively.

Shawn Kerman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Great work R-T-B, It's good that the BE branch has gone stable. I bet their will be a lot of people asking about mods and their compatibility with this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is whether authors know it or not, this is designed to work with any planet mod that works with 1.8.1. There's an important caveat though. That's just for Kopernicus stuff. If the planet mod depends on other dlls, all bets are off. Only way is to try and see, really. And naturally, if a mod isn't running on a version the author doesn't support, don't bug them about it. Bug me. I'll be interested but it's obviously "not their problem" if they don't support it. Edited February 7, 2021 by R-T-B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you not using the new patch, anyways? I can make a build for 1.11.0 but I'd really need a valid reason to extend support like that to previous bug patches, as adding version support for old minipatches would drastically increase the bundle build time. Newer bleeding edge's will not load with 1.11.0 either. Older releases will but you are missing out on a ton of bugfixes.

Snark Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm having a dickens of a time trying to figure out how to set up what the sky looks like on a world with an atmosphere. i.e. what color is the sky, etc. I've found various cryptic references to a "lightColor" field and an "AtmosphereFromGround" subnode of Atmosphere, but I've tried tinkering with those and can't tell that either one of them does anything. For example, if I want a world to have a blue sky like Kerbin's, say... how would I do that? Everything I do, my sky tends to be flat black and I haven't been able to find any way around that. None of the documentation or tutorials I've found seem to address that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask around for you though, try to get some attention to your post from people who know. In the meantime I assume you are aware of the Kopernicus wiki?

The descriptions are cryptic enough that all I can do is trial-and-error tinkering, none of which seems to accomplish anything. All of the examples I've tried seem to do nothing. For example, I have a vague memory of Tekto from OPM having an interesting-colored sky... but when I copy the lightColor from there into my planet, then nothing happens.

I have a guy working on new KopernicusExamples... because yeah documentation there is pathetically out of date. I'll see if I can't get someone with atmosphere knowledge to post here. There is also the Kopernicus discord, if you aren't a member. I can PM an invite. From what little I know AtmosphereFromGround is what you want, but beyond that I may not be much help.

The waveLength field specifies the color itself, I'm not sure what exactly you need to put into it but you can just mess with the values in Kittopia until it looks right (thats what I usually do lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the documentation or tutorials I've found seem to address that. Does anyone have any suggestions? What you're looking for is waveLength in AtmosphereFromGround. Unfortunately, it's not the intuitive color you'd expect something formatted as a color to be. Atmospheres do not consist of a simple gradient of a color down to transparent, instead they consist of three such gradients overlaid. Each one is one of your three optical primaries (red, green, blue), and the corresponding color channels in your waveLength controls the position of this gradient. If you set it to 1, the gradient will be buried entirely underground and so not contribute at all. Set it to 0 and it's all the way up, but know that the fade out is only on the top half of the gradient, with the bottom half solid color. Also, if you set all the way to zero, some perspectives may show the empty space underneath, so I'd avoid setting any channel below 0.3 I'd strongly recommend using Kittopia to tweak it since it's this weird unintuitive thing. Also, the alpha channel does nothing so you can set it to whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-T-B Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Looks like the crew I talked about showed up. Link to a recompiled Kittopia to help: https://github.com/R-T-B/KittopiaTech/releases It's not out of beta yet, but should be good enough for this. Working on it next. If you aren't familiar with Kittopia, basically hit ALT or CTRL-P ingame (forget which) and just mess with the reasonably intuitive GUI.

OrbitalManeuvers Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I'll bet I'm not alone when I say that Kopernicus is one of a handful of mods that I literally wouldn't play KSP without. Maybe Rescale would have saved me for a while, but then again I didn't know Rescale was a thing until I switched to JNSQ full time. Anyway, now I try every planet pack that gets released. I just wanted to take a moment and thank RTB and all the folks, past and present, who've poured hours of work into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacedInvader Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I'm running into a serious issue with Kopernicus and I've got no idea how to fix it. Things were working fine until last night, running the most recent stable version of Kopernicus on KSP 1.11.1. Then after an 8 hour session the game crashed... hard... I got some blank error messages with progress bars that did nothing except show that they were from Unity and one notification that there had been an overflow of some type before finally forcing me to alt-f4 / end processes to get rid of the messages. Anyway, ever since then, whenever I try to load a save from within the game, this is what I'm presented with: Spoiler Spoiler The first image where KSC is underground is what always happens on the first reload, the second is usually what happens if I try to reload a second time, though sometimes the terrain is so low that you can see water below the floating space center. Anyway, these are from a bare bones install with just Kopernicus, ModularFlightIntegrator, and Module Manager and KSP installed. I've tried reinstalling all of them, including KSP more than once, always with the same result. Additionally, I get the same results if I try to roll back Kopernicus and MFI to the bleeding edge version I'd been using before the stable release. That all said, whats more interesting / frustrating about this is that it doesn't seem to be restricted to my main KSP install, but instead it affects all KSP installs on my system, even a completely fresh install made after all of this started with freshly downloaded KSP and Kopernicus archives. And that's where I'm fresh out of ideas on how to fix this... I'm not familiar with anything other than logs that KSP stores outside of its home directory and I don't know of anything at all that Kopernicus might store elsewhere that could have become corrupted, so I'm really hoping someone who knows more about the way Kopernicus / KSP works can help me sort out what might be going wrong here because its preventing me from playing my main save as I'm both afraid it could further corrupt if I try to press forward and the mission I was about to launch was a rover to drive around KSC... Logs Kopernicus Generated Logs EDIT: Just to be clear, I only get these results when Kopernicus is installed Edited February 10, 2021 by SpacedInvader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
