OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) [0.24] StarSystems v0.2This plugin will allow for the creation of multiple colored stars with working light.Javascript is disabled. View full albumUpdates:Update 04 - 24/07/2014Missing .cfg file added to the .zipUpdate 03 - 24/07/2014Complete rework of the mod structure. Started colaborating with Fastwing who made my code more modular and rewrote my main class structure to be object based. This version has a new gamefixer in place that will allows loading of any existing savegame without destroying vessels on load (still can't garantee none will be destroyed when exploring other stars). When loading a an existing savegame for the first make sure to go to the trackingstation before launching a vessel as this will fix existing orbits. There is now a small bug that when you try to launch a vessel immediately after loading a savegame it will get teleported to outside Kerbin's atmosphere. Going to the tracking station before launching your first vessel will fix this. Overall this version should be more stable.Update 02 - 20/07/2014I removed the fixes that were in place an uploaded it to GitHub. Now the core of the mod works again, but it will eat any ship left in a low orbit around a planet, and when using with an existing savegame it will have any ships orbiting the sun orbit the black hole. I'll start working on a new fix to stop the game from crashing ships into nearby planets.Update 01 - 20/07/2014:Ok, apparantly some of my fixes for 0.24 seem to mess up some stuff. I'll try to have an updated version tomorrow.Features:Modifies the sun into a black hole.Creates a new Kerbol to house all the original planets.Allows you to add your own stars.Handles everything associated with starlight.Solar panels work.Allows usage with existing savegames (should work now, still advise to backup) **To do:Test the new gamefixer (ongoing)Make PF:CE planets for Corbo and Dolas (started by Megalodon 720)Make mod capable of creating planets (started)Make more colors for stars. (not yet started)Make a new shader for the black hole. (not yet started)Optional: make a dust disk for the black hole.Adding your own stars:You can add your own stars by copying one of the existing "Star" nodes in the config file and changing it parameters (make sure you have a unique name and FlightGlobalIndex). Since star colors is quite a delicate balance of parameters any color you fill in as color value that is not "Blue" or "Red" will be interpreted as normal yellow.DISCLAIMER:BACKUP YOUR SAFE FILE! Due to the nature of this plugin it is possible to lose existing ships, but this should now be less of a problem.**Will load large save files as well (managed to load my largest save files without losing a single ship or piece of debris). Still can't ensure no ships will be lost when traveling to other stars though.Downloads:CompiledSourceCreated by: OvenProofMarsCo-created by: FastwingsSpecial thanks to: Kcreator, Megalodon 720 and all people testing.Licence:Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) Edited July 26, 2014 by OvenProofMars New version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyro Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This looks really interesting, I see a lot of potential for this! I'm gonna try it out right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horndgmium Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'm glad you have planets in the to-do, because I never really see a reason to go to Kerbol, so I don't know why I'd go to another star either.But those look so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazard15 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looks interesting.Does it depend in any way to Planet Factory? All is OK in career mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike9606 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This is very interesting. I feel as if this will be very good with Warp Drive mods and cinematics and other Sci-Fi Stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looks interesting.Does it depend in any way to Planet Factory? All is OK in career mode?It's stand alone, but you can use PF:CE to add planets to the stars (works in 0.23.5, haven't tested it in 0.24). The new career mode of 0.24 loads fine with this mod, but I have yet to do extensive testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Would this work with Environmental Visual Enhancements or the experimental OVERHAUL?I loaded it in one of my heavily modded KSP 0.23.5 installations (35+ mods) and it seemed to work fine, apart from the fact that I lost a few old ships (50+ ships safegame). Since that install runs EVE and most components needed for Overhaul I would say yes, although I have no idea what else Overhaul does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 I didn't see any settings, how do you access them?In \GameData\StarSystems\Configdata you'll find a file named StarNames.cfgThere you can add new stars to your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 is there option that i can just add planets to the vanila and not override at?My mod is currently only capable of creating stars. For planets you can use PlanetFactory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvenProofMars Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 I request you make one planet a brown dwarf on a highly eccentric orbit, with moons the size of Kerbin.yes, one of the new star types that i'm going to add will be a brown dwarf.

DaveStrider Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 This + MKS + EPL + KSPI would allow for some really cool endgame missions, especially because the beamed power networks that i so love to build in the midgame would be worthless across interstellar distances. You'd effectively be starting from scratch (albeit with cooler tech). Definitely going to get this once planets are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
