Update: KittopiaTech is now being developed by Thomas P and the Kopernicus team over at this thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/116356-105-kopernicus-kittopiatech-a-kopernicus-visual-editor-21-nov/ . Go there for updates and stuff.

 

Please note, this plugin is DISCONTINUED until otherwise specified. More information for this can be found on page 14 (After that forum move?) of this thread.

Presenting: The KittopiaTech Terraformer's toolbox! An in game planet editor.

This tool can be used to edit planetary "PQS" in-game. A powerful tool in the right hands...

As an example, I Terraformed Minmus, using nothing but this in-game UI. (Todo, create a better image)

Javascript is disabled. View full album

Its fairly feature complete, only a few GUI bugs to fix, and a few tools to complete, but it should be viable for full on editing, even on stock planets.

It can save and load, and will load all available data on game start, to allow user terraformed planets to persist.

Changelog:

V0.08

-Added Starfix module.

V0.076

-Changed loading back to "Universal", will need to investigate.

V0.075

-Quickfix for loading, orbits load correctly now.

V0.07

-Will now save and load on a per-save-file basis

V0.06

-Orbits can now be saved and loaded

V0.05

-Added vector manipulation, should have tested this before pushing out but oh well...

V0.04

-Orbit editor

-PQSAdder

-Ui improvements

V0.03

-Fixed template selection cutting off last planet

V0.02

-Fixed silly little error.

 

How to use: While in-game, press "Control" and "P", and select a 'template', from there, change values to whatever looks good.

There are a few known bugs:

1) Inputs are a bit finicky, I will try to fix one day.

2) Updating scaledspace will hang the game. I'm not sure if its fixable without sacrificing quality at this stage.

3) Some tools are not implemented yet...

4) Use the starfix module at your own risk! Don't try making Kerbin a "Fixed Star", for instance. ( It does actually work... )

5) Texture importing is wierd

 

Fix remaining bugs.

Add missing tools.

Smooth GUI layout.

My development roadmap:

-Technical:

==Loading models/textures for height map/scatter/PQSCity ( 33% done )

==Fix bugs

==Texture exporter (80% done)

==PlanetFactory/RSS compatible CFG exporter. (Partial)

==Easier scaledspace updates, currently hangs the game.

-Modules:

-GUI:

==Better looking/easier GUI (Its much better than V0.01 now for sure)

==Improve colour picker GUI (Almost perfect)

-Gameplay:

==Terraforming parts (Work has begun, atmospheric reprocessing is about 50% complete)

==tech tree integration for said parts

-Other:

==Mirror in case Dropbox overloads.

==Tutorials (Video, images , text, etc.) (Ingame information added, still needs more work)

==Document the various PQSMods (In progress )

*(?) means I'm unsure.

 

Some may wander what the Starfix is? It is a fix I wrote to allow instantiated "Suns" to emit light like Kerbol does, it probably even works with solar panels!

(Note, My version supports x-Star systems)

Download link is technically not applicable at this stage, I still need to iron out some details... I would like to see community feedback as to if anyone would use a tool, and what additional ability's it should have.

For example: Should I grant it the ability to load textures? or extract/load models for things like PQSCity. Should I create a component system for special planet types, if so, what things should be done? I can only hope this project is interesting enough for people to use...

Its entirely possible, but I will have to experiment. The main issue in this case is how to edit the key parentsphere with a value of 'PQS' in the UI. But it should be easy enough. I hope the camera relocates along with the object, though... Or you might have a tough time launching ships!

edit:

UPDATE:

separated code from test plugin.

A few new editor functions have been implemented and a few bugs fixed. Ocean tools still broken

Oh, oops. forgot that critical info... While in-game, press control + p, and select a "template", from there, change values to whatever looks good. ( Remember to rebuild ), but just note that it will not show up in ScaledSpace until you press the update button, If you are using PlanetFactory, you may have to do a bit of manual editing to get the output compatible...

Does the log give any errors? I have never encountered this bug before...

I use a windows PC, and don't play fullscreen. That's the only thing I can think about. Is the .dll in < Kerbal space program directory> /gamedata/KittopiaSpace/plugins/ ?

I have updated to 0.04, with it comes some new tools, that probably need some explanation...

Firstly the orbit editor: careful with this, can cause destruction of ships near the planet. Values are standard orbital values, I think Wikipedia has a page on it. Sadly these will not save.

And the PQSAdder, careful with this, as I'm not sure what most of them do, it will attempt to add ANY PQS component in the game, that you select, anyway. Some will not work, as some critical data may be missing. its in the PQS editor as the "Add PQS" button. I also did some UI mods to help smooth it out.

Any suggestions? Or bugs? I will do anything I can to make it bug-free, but UI related bugs may confuse me... I'm a programmer, not a graphics designer!

Okay, I'll probably take this a little too far, but wouldn't this make it possible to add "terraforming parts"? Say like an atmospheric processing station that would slowly use your code to change the appearance of the planet it is on? Maybe a localised spread from its location on the planet? I think this would really push the mod envelope forward.

HI liking the idea of this a lot was a tad dissapointed that the first version failed to be anything other than a none functioning GUI, so was pleased to see an update this morning. Sadly it still doesn't work on win7 64 windowed mode, I can select a tab on the gui but thats all, the scroll bar doesnt do anything amd actually clicking the buttons produces no changes or new info. I have copied the relevant section of log and must say i find it a little disturbing.

Would like to see this tool work so lets hope that the 3rd build is the charm!

Whoops! This is embarrassing! Looks like I uploaded the source in the wrong folder! delete the src folder in KittopisSpace/plugins/ and it should work.

I will fix that immediately!

And yes, I plan to somehow create terraforming parts. However the main problem is rebuilding lag!

I was playing around with it for a while, and it turns out you can do some pretty silly stuff, and some more serious stuff too...

Example: Weird Minmus, and lava-ry "Awesome like the stories" Moho!

Javascript is disabled. View full album

Just need to save orbital parameters, Smooth out vector input, and make the UI less... Ugly...

I updated the original post with some more information about my future plans, and I'm wandering if people are still getting bugs.

Is there anything to report? or any feature requests? Or possibly even some showcases, I would like to see some peoples modified planets!

I have updated the plugin with a neat new feature: Per-save-file saving and loading. This would allow for interesting things. the legacy format is supported, so you will not lose any terraformed planets, in theory.

Soon I will add a way of "permanently" updating scaledspace, and finalise a few other things.

Shameless update bump
