Other planet adder mod

[Aghanim]

Is there is another addon that adds planets instead of the controversial krag's planet factory?

[Ralathon]

There was an open source addon a few days back but that promptly got drama bombed and removed. Dunno what's going on with it now.

[Aghanim]

^Name of that addon?

It wasnt an addon...it was source code to make an addon. It was removed from forums on account that it was not original work.

And where do you take that from?

You guys should wait a little, I think something's about to be released publicly.

I still don't understand why planet factory is "controversial." The mod is beautiful.

It's not the mod per se that is controversial, but to publish a mod on these forums, you simply have to play by the rules. Which the author didn't.

To be fair, the author also Did Not publish the mod on these forums

Well, yes. But a link was posted to it, which, according to mods, was not allowed without source code, either. So the links got removed. And then, quite a discussion ensued, with thread locks handed out. (I'm not judging any of the actions taken, just stating facts.)

I think all of you are starting to bring those discussion to this thread, let this thread die in peace instead having a powerful flame war and getting one of my threads to be locked....

I don't see a flamewar here at all, just the stating of facts.

But yes, I'm afraid this thread will go nowhere. It has all been discussed to death.

To answer your original question, I don't think there is any other mod out there that adds new celestial bodies. And as far as I have seen, it looks like it is quite a complicated task, so I wouldn't expect such a mod for a while (with no prior source code to learn from, of course.)

[aftokinito]

I'm the one that released the open source variant.

I am currently rewritting most parts of the plugin with Mu's suggestions so it works more efficiently and so it is easier to use.

I will not release it on the forums until I get the aproval from the mods (which requires me to finish the plugin rewrite) but feel free to stalk github for my repository.

Oh THATS why you can't find the mod anymore then

It's the top link on the 2nd page of the "addon releases and projects showcase" forum, so not exactly hard to find. The issue with the developer not playing by Squad's rules was sorted out some weeks ago.

There's also a download link in the post immediately above yours....
