lordmuffin Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 HOORAY!I love this. Thanks so much.EDIT: Would it be possible for you or someone to do the Urania pack? That would be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be epic!Thanks!Urania itself is possible, but actual terrain for moons can't currently be done without RealSolarSystem. Skelton and Joker right now have no new terrain and if you get close enough the new textures dissapear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Good to see Planet Factory planets back in action!Just a quick note--to comply with the Add-on Posting Rules your download zip will require a copy of the license.Also, you're shipping configs for both Distant Objects and for PlanetShine without mentioning it, configs which (a) overwrite people's existing files, ( collide, and © will override people's existing settings.

Please fix that. Okay. I'm updating everything as we speak.Nathan, could you also help me add PQS to these by possibly making some kind of stripped-down RSS clone that can only edit atmosphere heights and add new textures and heightmaps?If not that's fine, but I hate that every solid body but Nall just turns into a stock body. Skelton doesn't even have the proper atmo height.I'm also trying to reduce the number of dependencies.

Tangle Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The sheer redness of this star is unrealistic. Try for something more like the old version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanKell Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks.There's no need for a stripped-down RSS, RSS only ever does exactly what you tell it. If you only tell it to do those things, those are the only things it will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaporo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) It's meant to be an M6-class star. M7-M9 stars are even more red.I don't think so. That star is pretty red there, pretty much the lowest frequency visible to the human eye. Even a "red" star will emit tons of colors aside from red. For example, our sun is a yellow sun, but it really only has a yellow tint. As I understand it, if you reduce its light output off of something and compare it to a pure "white light," you would see it has a yellowish tint. If you look straight at the sun, it appears white. Similarly, a red star will have a red tint, but, if you looks straight at all but the dimmest stars up close, you will perceive a white star. So, because of the light ouptut limits of our screens, to make a realistic-looking star you need to start with a white star and slightly reduce the values of each color until you have a slight tint, not overwhelm our screens with bright neon red. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classificationThere's a chart a little way down the page showing the actual apparent color of stars.

_Augustus_ Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Thus your brown dwarf is a brown dwarf round a brown dwarf.No. Volcaniosis (whatever it is) is a sub-brown dwarf with just 8 Jool masses (Brown dwarfs irl need 13 jupiter masses to be brown dwarfs, jool is basically jupiter).And Serious is actually (I changed my mind) an L0-class star that fuses hydrogen. (Yes, there are a few L-dwarfs that fuse hydrogen and not deuterium) Edited December 7, 2014 by _Augustus_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, there are a few L-dwarfs that fuse hydrogen and not deuterium)Ok, that's better, but it's still quite a bit on the red side.EDIT: Disregard this. I got Serious and you brown dwarf mixed up.Serious looks ok, to me. Your brown dwarf is still too red and shouldn't emit much light, though. It would be more realistic to make it an extremely massive gas giant, if Kopernicus allows it. Edited December 7, 2014 by Vaporo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Augustus_ Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 If [Lung SiO2 disease] is a sub-brown dwarf, why does it glow?That's an illusion. It doesn't actually glow. It just has a bright atmo ramp.And even sub-brown dwarfs glow marginally.Everyone, I'm about to upload an epic video of possibly the worst landing attempt on Joker ever.

NathanKell Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The solar panel fixer only runs because it's told to run in RealSolarSystemSettings.cfg. If you remove the power curve, it won't run. That's true for anything RSS does: like I said, RSS only does things if you tell it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodon 720 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis was just meant to be a very dark gas giant, but I see what you mean about it being a brown dwarf. BTW it was slightly based on TrES-2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
