[0.90][Plugin/WIP][Discontinued indefinitely] KittopiaTech Ingame Terraforming Tools V0.192

[KCreator]

Just wanted to show some cool stuff I did, it has some potential for entertainment. In this case I did some reverse terraforming:

Polluted/destroyed/post apocalyptic Kerbin!

Javascript is disabled. View full album

If requested I will upload the save file / configuration file so you can see this rather simple example.

In this case, I just offset the terrain above "sea level" and replace the green grass with a brownish colour, then set the atmosphere to a more suitable appearance.

Simple, but effective.

How to change terrain color?

[KCreator]

Look for "PQSLandControl", or PQSMod_VertexPlanet, there should be a function on it called "Mod land classes", from there, you can select an "area" (Like Beach, Ground, Mountains, Poles, ect) to modify

The colour variables are the main thing of importance.

Hi, thank you for developing this!

For a while now I have been making my own galaxy/mini-star cluster, so I used PF CE to make a new identical sun, and then made more planets for the old sun. As I could not get RSS to work, I have tried to use this to permanently move stock PF and normal planets over to my new sun meanwhile adjusting some of the PF ones to fit slightly better. To do this, I have used this plugin, which during a particular instance of KSP works amazing BTW!!! However, for some reason even though I used save data, the adjustments I make to the planets disappear when I reload the game, is there something I am missing?

Also, if and when I do manage to get this to save and load perfectly, how do I share it, when I feel it is ready to be released?

Thanks

How do you add an ocean? I tried adding one to Duna, but it didn't seem to work, and I was probably doing it wrong.

[KCreator]

Ocean tools seem a bit broken, something about not copying textures I guess, as I was able to clone a custom texture ocean I made for my test plugin... As for orbits, I think I forgot to save/load them correctly, new version will be up soon to attempt to remedy both problems.

edit: Fixed orbits, was a silly mistake in loading. I will try fixing oceans.

I have hit a rather annoying obstacle... How should I save and load "Generic" data... At this point, saving "Generic" requires one to copy and paste a few .cfgs, renaming them. This is not ideal. The per-save system is fine, and needs no further modification.

However, saving globally (So people can actually give out custom terraformed planets) needs heavy work. I had some idea's, but I would like some end-user feedback as to what would be easier...

Also, scaledspace saving is needed. As well as a really simple form of texture loading...

("Generic" meaning it will load, regardless of save-file.)

Here are my ideas:

-Saving to "GenericLoadPlanets/<Name of terraform pack>_PlanetName.cfg", option to load planet customisation on a per-planet basis

-Saving to a single file "<Name of terraform pack>_Planets.cfg", option to load planet customisation on a pack-style basis

-Easier saving to current system, only one "Terraformed" pack per install

Any ideas? or suggestions?

[Cooly568]

Okay I don't entirely know if this is even possible, but is it possible to take a cfg. from this pack, and put it into a Planetfactory .cfg, and load that planet just with Planetfactory?

[KCreator]

That is certainly the scope... At this point, there are a few manual changes that need to be made in order to allow full compatibility, and some features (such as atmo colour settings) will not be loaded by PF, just yet anyway. I will study the PlanetFactory cfg formatting to create a fully compatible cfg generator. The entire point of this tool is to help with the fine tuning process of planets, and allowing users to change existing planets.

[Cooly568]

That's good to hear.

Another little question, how did you raise the lowest terrain point in your apocalyptic Kerbin?

Also I'm having reloading troubles, but I think it's isolated at the moment, and I want to look further into it.

Edit: Just wondering another thing, how would you go about changing ocean textures?

Edited March 13, 2014 by Cooly568

[KCreator]

For the time being, I am having a problem with ocean textures not loading correctly, the tool was a proof of concept, that seems to have stopped working... Next update I plan to have fixed it.

As for raising the lowest point: there is one of the PQS mods, I think it was something like PQSMod_VertexHeightMap, that has a value of heightMapOffset. Changing that to a higher number will "raise" the terrain of the entire planet.

And reloading is a rather problematic thing, attempting to reload scaledspace in particular will hang the game. but some PQSMods will also hang, especially when the camera is close to the surface

[Cooly568]

I haven't been able to reload any planetary save files.

This is my save file for the mod, and I can't get it to reload on start up.

Tried it out, and found the cause... In my rush to push out a new version, I neglected to thoroughly test... I will hotfix it and edit the OP as soon as I find a fix

[Cooly568]

I'll definitely play around with the plug-in some more when this fix comes out

[antgeth]

so this is totally cool and exciting, but i find myself unable to add an atmosphere. adding all the characteristics of atmospheres work (tylo shows a atmospheric height, etc), but no matter what i do, the in-game ASL pressure value always remains 0.

[KCreator]

Try to set "use legacy atmosphere" (Forgot the exact variable) in celestialbody to true, it uses a different algorithm to generate the actual pressure than the animation curves... I still don't exacly understand how the animcurves work...

The "Atmo" tools are used to create the neat shader, to prevent confusion. I should really make a tutorial...

Still cant seem to figure out why saving/loading it breaks, but I have a temporary fix. Will upload it ASAP. Sadly I haven't worked on this for a while, recently got back in to HL2 modding

Does this allow us to clone a planet, or only terraforming?

I's sorry for this rather obscenely late reply.

Cloning planets is not within the scope of this plugin, and I am not quite sure how to "create" planets after the function: 'PSystemSpawn' (Or something) is called, previous attempts have been inconclusive.

On a side note, is there anyone interested in partnering with me? The first stage of the part-based terraformers (And yes, I fully plan for a career-friendly, part-based, "hard sci-fi" way of reshaping planets) will be atmospheric reconditioning, I can easily set up the module code, but since I cannot model or texture for the life of me, I will need help... And someone else helping me program a better saving and loading system will help this plugin greatly...

I am! I started on a terraforming mod but got stuck due to issues with the PQS code.

[me3]

I would get this solely for fixing the light problem with alternate stars. I would certainly like to see that feature implemented.

That would be awesome!

It will likely be implemented in the next version, right now the fix I came up with its a bit of a hardcoded mess...

[NathanKell]

Sorry, just saw the post about atmospheres. Are they still confusing or have you figured them out?

[KCreator]

Some big news for PlanetFactory users! The "Starlight Fix" module is almost ready for deployment! I am performing tests now and will upload the version ASAP.

Edit: Done, works well enough for release, I'm sure there are improvements I could make, though. Please be patient for the upload to finish.

Also, to all users having loading errors, could you please post some information about what fails? I would like to remedy as many bugs as possible.

[Starwaster]

Ok, what exactly is 'Starfix'

Maybe update the OP explaining this? And/or put it in the 'readme'? Please?

[landeTLS]

Seems things are slowing to a halt with the pf thread. Krag has not posted for months afik. And its still quite buggy(science archives broken and nullrefs). Are you concidering turning this into a fully functional planet api(aka planetfactory alternative) in the future? Nevertheless i really like the tools youwe provided

Edit: O i see youre makin an update for pf. Looks nice to get extra suns to work as proper light sources
