[1.12] [Kopernicus] Neidon Plus (Alpha, in-dev)

[Iodyne]

I had what I think was a similar issue as well a while back but after reinstalling the mod the issue went away for me. Still not sure what caused or fixed it, and can't remember more details, sorry. But I'd try reinstalling. Make sure to have Kopernicus, OPM, 000_NiakoUtils, and of course NeidonPlus as folders in GameData, as well as other dependencies like Harmony and ModuleManager.

What happens to saves loaded during the runtime exemption?

I really think the generator should be bundled with the mod to save us time and effort.

You know what, lemme do that real quick. I'd had it there in the past.

I don't exactly know what happens during runtime exception since it's been working pretty smoothly on my end.

Also, they're not loading.

[Richmountain112]

Same result even with depencencies installed: Planetary System Error

[Interplanet Janet]

I'll work on these issues as much as I can, this seems to be such a massive problem that I'm not sure how I let it slip by.

[Richmountain112]

Could it be that Planet Cyran is conflicting with it? I have that installed.

[Interplanet Janet]

I haven't tested with planet Cyran, but it doesn't look like it should conflict with Neidon Plus at all; AFAIK this issue is more internal.

I'm DMing someone else who's having the same sort of errors, just waiting to hear how a hotfix works on their end.

[Interplanet Janet]

For now, it seems like Chymere is the problem, especially on newer versions of Kopernicus: a volunteer on another server found the problem.

For now, delete Chymere.cfg until I can get a patch out. Thank you very much.

[Interplanet Janet]

Eureka!!

So it turns out KopernicusExpansion was a requirement, and DDSification also helped with the bug.

So... yeah. 0.3.5 is now available to download.

DDSification, fixing Chymere, bundling KopernicusExpansion.

[Richmountain112]

Also would you mind indexing this mod on CKAN?

[Interplanet Janet]

Done.

[Richmountain112]

Some of Chymere's lowest points are below 0.

[Interplanet Janet]

I think I did notice that, though I don't know if it causes any bad bugs yet... I might just change the radius a teeny bit to compensate if it's possible.

[Richmountain112]

If you quickload while on those low points, your craft explodes quickly. I had to hack gravity to take off.

I believe I've fixed the bug by raising the radius, and I notice Tito had a similar syndrome as well... patch should be out tonight to fix this.

[Interplanet Janet]

0.3.6 is out, featuring slightly increased radii on Chymere and Tito to fix the bugs.

[Richmountain112]

Also, MechJeb can't land on Chymere because it always crashes into the surface.

random idea:
a smaller gas-giant named Urlus that orbits Neidon. It will have a single submoon and moons orbiting near it will be highly unstable or impossible. 
description: Urlus was Urlum's evil counterpart, and is a large gas giant around 1/3rd the size of Neidon. Scientists think the gas giant was formed between Urlum and Neidon, but after a gravitational tug, it was captured by Neidon. Urlus is very strange due to its mostly gas atmosphere. It largely resembles Jool in its color.

you can go crazy with the coloring, or how far it orbits.

 random generated photo for what the planet look like (i hope it loads)

urlum plus when?

As much as binary gas giants are cool, I think it might be a bit outside of the scope of this mod. I'll keep the idea in mind for a possible future mod though. ^^;

Makes sense, It probably wouldn't be very realistic due to the binary system most likely ejecting the rings of Neidon, or some moons.

[Sup3r_Tyl3r]

Will you revamp more Outer Planet Mod planets? Like Urlum, or anything else?

[Sup3r_Tyl3r]

Tiny little thing that changes NOTHING in gameplay. In "README" Neidon is spelt as "Niedon". It changes nothing but its a bit bugging. 


Yes I am the type of person to complain about everything. Dont go too hard, just fix it whenever. Or dont even fix it.
