[WIP][0.90?] PlanetFactory CE

[Yaeah]

As having some knowledge of coding the radius part is commented out remove the "//" and should look something like this

Radius=200000

Then set it to your desired radius And should work.

Lol, wow, never thought it would be an Issue, Thanks man!

[Dooz]

dooz's draka system is coming soon

First planet of the system Kulara a desert planet with a reddish atmosphere surface looks cool once i get the clouds working

Kulara's moon Gordon has a very low periapsis but has very cool views

Second planet Typhon a very very warm kerbin like planet with a thick cloud cover underneath it beautiful views Soaring mountains green plains

Third planet Kaiser a gas giant mainly composed of noble gases like neon xenon argon helium krypton and radon in the low pressure in kaisers upper atmosphere the lightning causes the noble gases to discharge creating a glowing effect that looks pretty.

Kaisers first moon Marek

Marek has a microscopic SOI maneuver nodes are recomended but has the best view of Kaiser.

Kaisers second moon Kunar

A very rocky and mountainous moon reaction wheels are recomended

Kaisers third moon Don

Best moon for star gazing but the planetarium lies about its atmosphere.

Will feature.

Clouds mod integration

Sidos urania system clouds integration for those who use sidos urania system

Will probably feature

Science defs

I highly recommend using the clouds mod because you wont see typhon's clouds or kaisers absolutely awesome light show.

Keep an eye out for it.

Heheh. Take your time, youwe been doing excellent work with the plugin so far.

Did you see my post on the exact nature of the science archive bug btw? I know its probably not high priority as its not game breaking. But it would be nice if it was possible to make it work properly as i really like its functionality.

how'd you get rings?

He simply replicate several time the technic i made for urania : a huge amount of cloud layer made with a little pixel pattern.

Simply in it's exemple he forgot to made the shadow. but that not really work, cause the cloud mod don't allow to put real ring around planet

Well, sort of, You could say Sido is the pioneer of cloud rings, and I Amplified it:). I had thought about this before, but I didnt know how to apply the texture coorectly, alphas and such. I had found that since we cannot create rings using the Sentar like format, plain old textures 'n all, and clouds act as layers, We could at least try to utilize alpha texture and create a thin line, giving the effect of a ring, and multiple layer of such would look as close as we could get for now, so yeah. Oh and shadows? we should both try that, a black line instead of the white for the rings, with a cloud scale of say, 1.05.

I actually know the cause of the science archive bug, and will work on fixing it.

For those curious, it is caused by "duplicate" names in the system, the instantiation clones a few names as well, and that causes a dictionary to break. In theory, if I renamed all instances of a planet's local/scaled space gameobjects, it *should* work.

edit: I got a new button (One of my planets) to appear, but its blank, and the system still doesn't work. I'm not sure if its possible to fix, at least with my knowledge.

Thats good info! I had no idea why it didn't work and I despaired of figuring it out. Maybe there is a special asset for the science planet?

[KCreator]

Yea, It looks a bit like something that should exist, isn't found. Perhaps it is a parented game object, perhaps not... The logs don't give much information other than a vague "null reference exception". However in my tests, I was able to completely erase the archive list, and cause Wernher to spawn... It was rather strange.

If its a special component, then it might be found with a simple

foreach( Component c in pSysDictionary["Kerbin"].scaledVersion.GetComponentsInChildren(Component) )
{
	print( "LOG FOUND: " + c + "\n" );
}

Ill report any new info I find.

edit: Found something interesting... the scaledVersion var has a blank GameObject. Will experiment further.

edit2: This "Blank" Gameobject has data, but is hidden somehow... Its very odd.

can someone show me how to use costom bump maps (how to you make a new bin file that uses the imported normal and color maps)

[Mach_XXII]

can someone show me how to use costom bump maps (how to you make a new bin file that uses the imported normal and color maps)

When you add the planet delete the .bin file and when you load the planet in the game put a ship in orbit around the planet(hyperedit) and create the scaled space

When you add the planet delete the .bin file and when you load the planet in the game put a ship in orbit around the planet(hyperedit) and create the scaled space

that didn't work for me, it looked like a smooth default sphere from ship view, and a planet with a bump map (not the one i used) that has default on it from.

Kaiser looks great, big fan of the neon glow!

i did that, but it just remade the defaults

Not really a PlanetFactory CE post but more of a PlanetFactory post.

Designed a "lander" which is successfully able to "touch down" on Thud fairly consistently (touch down meaning only the cockpit survives) if I HyperEdit it into a dead standstill 300 km above the surface. Which I like. Cos it means I might be almost able to get a Kerbal down there without cheats. Even though said "lander" abuses KW Rocketry.

I know that at the time of the original PlanetFactory thread no one had made it to Thud without infinite fuel. Does this still apply?

[Facecakes]

Here's a sneak peek at the first release of my planet pack. it will have its own thread up in a few days.
