[0.90] Custom Biomes 1.7.0 [17 Dec]

[Raven.]

Trueborn, how do the custom biomes work for Planet Kerbin itself?

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to look into developing much more detailed, custom biomes for the planet Kerbin, such as a separate biomes for individual mountain ranges and islands.

[Trueborn]

They work the same way for any other planet. I didn't include a new map for Kerbin, as it already has one. But if you make a new map and attribute file it will replace Kerbin's biomes just like the rest of the planets. Please note that it is a complete replacement, not an addition. So if you tried to only change the mountain ranges (for example), you would end up only having biomes there.

Bigpoppaj, give this one a shot. And again, please provide the ksp_log.txt where Custom Biomes is loading.

Awesome, thank you. What I plan on is a complete replacement, so that would not be a problem.

Interesting. I'll come up with some logic to parse it down to the correct directory. Just out of curiosity, what are the subfolders of your root ksp directory (where ksp.exe lives)?

On my mac, here are the subfolders:

/GameData

/Internals

/Parts

/PluginData

/Plugins

/Resources

/saves

/Screenshots

/Ships

/sounds

Thanks!

[Ruedii]

Might it be better to use a standard C-Like config, like most KSP config files, and support indexed PNG formats by index value:

Example Below (Ranges expressed as comma sepearted values)

Planet("PlanetName1"){
  Bitmap = "Filename1.png"
  Biome ("BiomeName1") {
    Type = "RGBA"
    Alpha = (0, 255)
    Red = (0, 255)
    Green = (0, 15)
    Blue = (0, 15)
  }
  Biome("BiomeName2"){
    Alpha = (0, 255)
    Red = (0, 255)
    Green = (16, 255)
    Blue = (16, 255)
  }
}
Planet(Planet2){
  Bitmap = "Filename2.png"
  Color = "8BitIndexed"
  Biome("BiomeName1"){
    Index = (0,127)
  }
  Biome("BiomeName2"){
    Index = (128,255)
  }
}

One more techincal correction

[Trueborn]

Thanks BigP0ppaJ. The stuff after SCANSAT is more custom biomes stuff, but it usually doesn't print (the beta had extra debugging enabled). I'll release a new full version soon.

Ruedii, I don't think that'll be high on my priority list. I do have a standard KSP config file, but different stuff gets stored there. I just don't see a whole lot of utility to making the file format that complex when part of the idea is for people to be able to easily make their own biome sets. I understand indexing reduces image size, but so far the plugin is just 2 MB. A test of the largest single image (Eeloo's biome map) went from 130kb to 104kb. Thanks for the input though.

[DMagic]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but you have a typo in the Eve.att file. Where it should say "Poles" it says "Ploes" in the Basic folder of the 1.4 download. It's listed correctly in the crowd sourced file though.

[Trueborn]

Thanks DMagic. I know I caught one typo a little while back, not sure if it was that one. I was traveling the last week, but I'm back home now so I should get the new version out tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Trueborn]

Custom Biomes v1.4 is released!

This version fixes the Linux and Mac issues that users have been reporting.

It also fixes the flickering main window issue.

KerbalSpacePort Download

Alternate Download

[jpinard]

Nice job Trueborn!

[Trueborn]

Thanks jpinard.

And...if anyone downloaded it in the last hour, redownload it or manually change "Ploes" to "Poles" in the eve attribute file.

[kubi]

Great mod!

Just visited the Jool system for some science.

Would it be possible to put some degree values on the edge of the map? For example a small tick every 15 degrees.

i think this is very nice idea for sun "biome".

[Trueborn]

Alas, the biomes are not defined with altitude. The "above" and "high above" are defined elsewhere (I believe hard coded). I had considered adding something like sunspots, but I didn't think it would actually affect any of the experiments people are likely to run on the sun.

Kubi, for actual mapping purposes, I would recommend SCANsat. The purpose of the map here is mostly testing to make sure the biomes are actually showing up in the right place.

Edited February 16, 2014 by Trueborn
Added SCANsat url.

[kiwiak]

I think sunspots are nice idea.

[Trueborn]

And that's one of the cool things about Custom Biomes. Just fire up paint and notepad and you can have a THESUN.png and THESUN.att in maybe 5 minutes. On slightly related news, I'm going to be starting a big push for the science defs for all my biomes (maybe one planet a day?), starting with Duna. Hopefully I'll have a new release soon with more interesting Science!

[Raven.]

I made a very interesting observation this weekend about biomes with this plugin, one that Trueborn has probably already observed. I set several biomes on Kerbin, each one with the values ( in (R,G,), (0,0,0), (10, 10, 10), (20, 20, 20), (30, 30, 30), and (40,40,40). Two of those biomes were right next to each other with a very sharp transition; no blurring or smudging in the png. One biome was (0,0,0), and the other was (40,40,40). Then to test, I took an aircraft out of the SPH and crossed that biome boundary.

What happened, is that when the craft crossed the boundary, is that every other biome was detected during the transition. The current biome went from (40,40,40), to (30,30,30), to (20, 20,20), to (10,10,10) and then finally to (0,0,0), even though there was a sharp transition between only two biomes.

Apparently, if you have a sharp transition, the game attempts to smooth the transition out. Something to keep in mind in regards to biome map design. I don't think this is from the plugin, but how the game interprets the biome map. This also explains the bug in the stock game where the current biome sometimes shows as "tundra" while landed at the KSC.

It also seems as if the KSC and the runway biomes are hard coded. If this is the case, is there a way to mimic this and set custom, location specific biomes?

[Trueborn]

There is an attribute called exactSearch in the biome class. I believe it's set to false for all the stock biomes. I might try experimenting with it. It seems like it would only match if it found the exact color defined, as opposed to the default method which just matches the "closest" biome (though I'm not sure how they determine that). It might result in not finding any biome at the boundaries? Or maybe set all your biomes to exactSearch except for the "default" biome, which would match on the transitions.

As you said, the KSC and runway biomes are not set through the map. Nor do they show up when you query the biome map for the current biome. I'm not sure if I can inject something similar or not. But you can always define a single pixel or so for a similar effect.

Dude, that would be awesome if setting that attribute works. Would make my life a lot easier, especially since I have 50+ biomes planned.

[Trueborn]

Upon some further testing and review, that isn't how it works

The setting is for the entire planet, and then there is a float for sensitivity, which I haven't figured out yet. Still, a little fine tuning of the sensitivity and I might get it to read more reliably. I'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, the science defs are coming along.

Even if it's for the entire planet, that would still be a very good viable option. You could have at the top of the ATT file a config section for the entire planet to where you can set the exactSearch attribute and the sensitivity through the file, that way a mod author could tweak a planet to its individual needs.

Thanks for for looking into that.

[DMagic]

I'm in the process of adding reports for your default biome maps for my own set of parts. Though for now I just have reports for my newest part, that's a lot of reports to add.

I did notice one thing though, I'm not sure if this is intentional, but Duna's ice cap biomes don't really match the ice caps on the planet. They extend about twice as far as the biomes do from the poles. I guess it doesn't really matter, but it might be a little confusing to be sitting on the ice and not get the poles back as the biome. Also, the green marker you use for your position on the map can sometimes get lost in green colored biomes.

I like this idea a lot though, and at the very least the basic biome set should make a nice stand-in until Squad can release full biomes for every planet.

[Trueborn]

Raven, that's exactly how I've implemented it. The first line is a float to specify the nonExactThreshold. If it is 0, exactSearch is set to false. Regardless of what I find out, that will be the new file format for 1.5 when it releases.

Very nice DMagic. Yeah, I'm sure there are some tweaks to almost all my biomes. I was just taking a stab from the elevation maps, so I may not have gone far enough south. I'll look into that.
