gdsafArby Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 1 hour ago, Professor K said: I'll second the Jool vs BetterJool issue, I've noticed a number of errors popping up in my logs related to the name change, mainly around Parallax and Scatterer. Nothing that's stopped the game from loading (although I've yet to visit Jool in this save) but I find myself wondering as to the purpose of the rename. -K I'm pretty sure the purpose of BetterJool is to retexture Jool, otherwise I see no reason. I never found Jool to be a particularly ugly planet anyways, it is just a green gas giant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can re-texture or even replace (which is what OPX does) a planet without renaming it, that's why I'm unsure of the reason for the rename. Hopefully the mod author will stop by and let us know. -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor K Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Is the MoonDistance.cfg file in OPX-SarnusPlus\KopernicusConfigs supposed to be for use with a specific mod? It's increasing the SMA of a bunch of Sarnus's moons via a multiplier (rather than a specific number), but only a couple are tagged with a "NEEDS" for a specific mod. -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor K Posted December 13, 2024 Share Posted December 13, 2024 (edited) On 12/1/2024 at 6:47 PM, Professor K said: Has anyone else had an issue with the Asteroids, etc in the inner system preventing the Sentinel Telescope from activating due to not being between Kerbin and "the next body inwards" due to the eccentric orbit of bodies like 3190 - Phaekay that cross multiple orbits? -K I tracked down the issue with this. It's not the elliptical orbit of the asteroids, but the duplicate SMAs of multiple bodies across OPM and OPX-*. There is a notation of an issue (as yet unresolved) on the Kopernicus GitHub, Issue 605 that explains that if there is more than one celestial body with the exact same SMA, the stock KSP code that runs the Sentinel Telescope will throw an exception and stop working. Between OPM and the OPX-* series, there are multiple sets of duplicate SMAs: Kerbin & Kret (OPX-Inner) Bop & Klip (OPX-Jool) Polta & Priax (OPX-Urlum) Jool, Euribanne & Palloocus (OPX-Jool) I fixed the issue for my system by adjusting the SMA of one of each pair by 1 meter. (Up by one for the one of Jool threesome and down by one for the other). The Sentinel scopes immediately started working again. -K Edited December 13, 2024 by Professor K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems odd to set/change the SMAs in the OPX-S body configs and then change them again with a patch. As an example: OPM Hale.cfg: SMA = 10488231 OPX-S 03-Hale.cfg: SMA = 12169413 After MoonDistance.cfg: SMA = 20359427.949 Wouldn't it have been simpler to just set it to the final number in the 03-Hale.cfg file? -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Take as much time as you need to. I love having an elaborate retinue of moons circling gas giants to explore. You've done great work, and anything you put off until later (or even never get around to) doesn't diminish any of that in the slightest.
