[Korkin]

hi there guys. how do i install this mod. do i just copy it to gamedata forlder? i did that and somehow i can see outerplanet on system map. what could i do wrong?

[CaptRobau]

If you install the mod correctly you should have the following extra stuff in your GameData folder:

BoulderCo

CustomAsteroids

KittopiaSpace

Kopernicus

Nereid

OPM

PlanetShine

ModuleManager.2.5.9.dll

what is DDSloader?

it is not included in downloaded mod zip file.

exept this dds one i have all of them in Gamedata folder.

will add DDS ad try it

[CaptRobau]

Oops I was looking at the folders from next update, which uses DDSLoader. I've removed it now from the list above and it's correct now. So if DDSLoader was the only you missed you should have it installed it correctly.

great to know but still doesnt work) thanks for reply anyway. may be will try it on clean install. cause i have some other modes there as well.

First off, great mod. I've been too the stock celestial bodies enough times already. I have this plus OuterPlanetsPlus, which I just installed.

One question, though, and it may have been asked a while back. I can't zoom out far enough in the map view to get a full picture of the entire system. The previous post said the map view bug (is this really a bug or a limitation of the map view?) would go away after a while? I've played several times, but still no adequate zoom out.

I know the map view extent can be changed, Working Multiple Star Systems (another great mod, though just buggy enough that I gave up) does this, and you can zoom waaayyy out. This would be helpful to zoom that far out, too. KSPI has an IR telescope feature that their wiki says should be placed at 7500Gm for certain observations, about 20 times as far out as Plock.

Is there another mod out there to do just the zoom? A bit of searching and I didn't immediately find anything. Maybe it's part of PlanetFactory or StarSystems? Though if I read correctly, either of those might not be compatible with Kopernicus?

Any tips appreciated.

Cheers,

What operating system are you using?

What other mods are you using (if any)?

The zoom bug can occur as an incompatibility with another installed mod.

I did a little bit of config editing myself and re-arranged Slate and Tekto

I bumped Slate up a little bit to about 150 million meters, and I brought Tekto down all the way to roughly 80 million meters. I also changed inclinations slightly

Honestly I feel like this is more consistent with how far apart Jool's moons are, plus it makes for a more interesting sky on Tekto and improves Tekto's visibility from the other moons

I think I will create a second OPM extension mod, which will be heavily focused on Plock! (As Plock need some attention)

If you want I have a config that adds a Charon analogue and makes it so plock and the moon revolve around a baricenter which is outside plock

It works pretty well but it needs textures

Oooo that would be nice ! I am interested. Can I get a download link ?

And for the textures, I already made them.

sure, I'll send you a pm.

I've sent this cfg to capt also, so this may be used in some future OPM patch (if they like it)

pm sent

let me know if you have any problems

I thought that patched conics in KSP couldn't handle a baricenter

It would require a singularity at the baricenter

[Elowiny]

The moons are nearly done. I will now focus on tweaking them.

I put a body with a fake name around the sun (eg = PlutonCharonSystem), then pluto revolving around that body and charon revolving around pluto.

The result is pretty good, the main problem is that for pluto you get a SoI much smaller than that in real life...

I wish eclipses were in the game, in this image the sun should be eclipsed by Sarnus. Ah well, still pretty though!

I pressed [Numpad Dot] like 4 times to hide the nav-ball and get a look at the craft

Eclipses are in the game, it's probably that the corona texture doesn't realistically scale with the large distances of the OPM planets. As such it might look like it'd block it, but it actually isn't blocking it.

This looks very interesting indeed, I'll only add it once everything is sorta finalized tho, for stability reasons.

It is in a very stable state at the moment actually. Most issues currently are minor and graphical and after installing this mod on several copies of KSP, I have never experienced anything out of the ordinary.

I'd say I've experienced a lot of things out of the ordinary with OPM, because it's so awesome it's out of the ordinary

But I agree, it's pretty stable

[barfing_skull]

Still seeing the unable-to-zoom-out bug. It's entirely possible it's a conflicting mod. Is there a list somewhere of which mods are known to interfere with this? At that point it might be the choice of the mod versus being able to zoom out. The zoom thing is a minor to moderate inconvenience. For instance, no way I'd give up MechJeb for it....and I'm probably too enamored with the Visual enhancements.

I have no experience with the bug myself, so can't help you on that front. Maybe someone else has narrowed down what causes it?

Both mechjeb and Visual enhancements are fine, if you have a list of mods I can tell you which I use and those should be fine since I've never seen this problem
