Hofugir Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am not trolling/joking. I have added a small sphere in a 45 degree inclination orbit around Kerbol further out than Jool. And about pics of the planet : its just a grey sphere because i got no heightmap for it so nothing interesting and i have colored the orbital line very bright for testing so it looks very dull.If i could get directions to a nice heightmap it would be appreciated and if the devs and the commUnity dont want me to do this i can scrap the project and just make a part mod.

Millst0ne MK II Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Wait wait wait. How exactly did you do this? Does it actually orbit Kerbol and have GRAVITY and stuff, or is it just a floating sphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbinsc Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Tell me how. I want to make my ownI'll give you a heightmap if you do.Isn't that the heightmap of mars?Also, I didn't know custom planets were possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaydeeDem Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Isn't that the heightmap of mars?Also, I didn't know custom planets were possible.Yes. It is a height map of Mars.Now, OP, tell me your methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hofugir Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sorry i have been away and im seriously not joking! It does orbit kerbol and all that is right now is a grey smooth sphere with a ugly orbital line. I requested a heightmap. Ever since 0.17 came out i have been looking in KSP code and such, specifically planets and i created a kerbin sized sphere with no terrain features. Pretty easy to land on. And if i start leaking the code it feels alot of people will be making tons of planet mod and ruin the game. Im just doing a pluto analog in early alpha stage, a simple thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carthaginian Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 OPSEC rule #1: The odds of a secret being discovered are a function of the square of the number of people aware of it.Layman's Translation: If you don't want no questions asked, don't let anyone know you're working on something.This would open up an entirely new modding theater- a virtual Magrathea.Custom planets and moons would abound; eventually, whole new star systems would appear.I have to say I am very hopeful that the OP is telling us the truth, although his intro bears a strong similarity to the first line of any sea story (generally "No $%&*, man... this really happened"). If this is true, KSP has truly become a realm of unlimited possibilities. And so, Slartibartfast, I'll have a planet where Kerbal girls in bikinis parachute from the skies.

whatisthisidonteven Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 That is unkind whatisthisidonteven, if you do not believe him it is better to refrain from commenting.No screenshots, "I looked into KSP's code". It all does seem very fishy.That being said, I am hoping OP is telling the truth - It just seems incredibly unlikely is all. Sorry if my post come off as unkind.

Sbowyer28 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 If he is modifying the code or even looking into it, I believe he ca be banned from KSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyman1234 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 PICS OR GTFO And no cheating! We need more than one (preferably of the planet, the orbit, any moons you plan on having, and of a lander on the planet[at least 4]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal_vager Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This is turning into a witch hunt, we don't know what Hofugir has done, and we don't know how he did it, English is not his first language so he may have explained himself incorrectly.What other members have managed with the plugin system is already pretty amazing, autopilots, docking, tractorbeams....I'm closing this for now, when he has a complete add-on to show us we'll see then just what the plugin system can really do.
