[1.3.1][Kopernicus]The Boris System (new planets) ADOPTED!! Finally

[JTG]

How do you make these? There is almost no information on the video tutorial.

[medikohl]

well, still offering help to people who want to make their own planetary packs.

[medikohl]

ok it's been a good while, anyone have any planet ideas?

[Sylandro]

Have you seen my Planet idea that i sent you awhile ago?

[randomness5555]

Ha, dude-Rocky and Bullwinkle reference AND that most short of all footballers, Peabody as well? Nice.

[medikohl]

peabody is from rocky and bullwinkle

[Creeperchair]

I can't download this.

[Drummerboy36983]

how do i make a gas planet? ive got Krag's CE and have created other planets with textures from space engine but i cant seem to get a working map on a gas planet. whats your secret?

[_Augustus_]

well, still offering help to people who want to make their own planetary packs.

me! I want help!

[medikohl]

I will be hopefully porting these over to the kopernicus mod once it's been completed.

(that or start new worlds from scratch)

I really wish squad had made that planet api they mentioned they were working on.

[pilot410]

Are you still working on the port to Kopernicus?

[Olympic1]

Are you still working on the port to Kopernicus?

idem [10 char]

[TheBlackDwarf]

want some help with the cfg for a gas planet here is a base code for you to work and study on

PFBody
{
    name= ( name )
    templateName=Jool
    flightGlobalsIndex=900    
}


CelestialBody
{
    bodyDescription= ( description )
    GeeASL= 0.0962500333786    
    //GeeASL= 1.0962500333786
}

Orbit
{
    inclination = 16.3846492767334
    eccentricity = 0.224659410343803
    semiMajorAxis = 969111949619
    LAN = 206.502426147461
    argumentOfPeriapsis = 30.4338626861572
    meanAnomalyAtEpoch = 0.780504822731018
    epoch = 0
    referenceBody = Sun
}

just edit the settings to your choice and it should come out good

and name the textures ( (name)_map and (name)_bump ) and make them into png files and it should work

[medikohl]

Should I update this to kopernicus?

(waiting on 1.0 first)

[HoloYolo]

Should I update this to kopernicus?

(waiting on 1.0 first)

Never got to try this out, so sure, why the hell not?

[_Augustus_]

Should I update this to kopernicus?

(waiting on 1.0 first)

Yes please!

I've been working on it on and off for a while, but I just got contacted by KillAshley. He's already ported the system over. So it will be available soon. Just doing some color correction. Planet factory had a habit of tinting planets to the extreme.

Here is an example of the moon known as Munroe, the base texture was extremely blue which changed more reddish due to the fact that I was forced to modify Duna in planetfactory to get the atmospheric effect I wanted. By making it extremely blue it no longer appeared to be a bright red ball and it became far more purplish with a large green swatch.

Personally I'm considering just letting the color aberrations stand as is.

TLDR

Going to be updated one way or another, thanks for being patient.

Patience

This! This is what I always wanted from a planet pack these are so unique! I can not wait to add this to my system. AMAZING!

Well, there seemed to be little point in just rehashing what you could already get in stock, so my planets were designed to create some more challenging landing conditions.

[FreeThinker]

I wonder could this possbly work with other planet packs like the Outer Planets ?

[medikohl]

I think that we both are going to be using kopernicus, so It should be workable.

[medikohl]

Currently uploading. Will be releasing the new version in about two hours or less

[medikohl]

It is ready, eventually will be doing some basic biomes (about 2-3 for each body) and might make a new system in the future.

[medikohl]

Ok, apparently ocean support is available in the new version of kopernicus, so I may be making some sort of liquid world.
