[1.2.1] Outer Planets Mod (2.1) - Active development has moved, see first post for new thread

As KillAshley said, wait until 1.1 is released first. Secondly, Kopernicus is the prerequisite mod. It's what needs to be updated first, before OPM or anything else. Kopernicus 1.1 update will probably not change configs though, so we can expect that as soon as updated Kopernicus comes out, all Kopernicus packs will be 1.1 compatible. Only time can tell though.

ah, finally a helpful post.

thanks for the answer

SO, when do you think will be compatible with 1.1?

Currently, the only thing available to the public is a pre-release, not a release itself. @KasperVld underlined that the 1.1 pre-release is for testing purposes only, actually playing it should be avoided since it is not yet entirely stable, so don't expect to play OPM on the pre-release.

Also, unless Squad changes the PQS-system (which I highly doubt they would do, it would mean remaking all stock planets from scratch), OPM will likely work on 1.1 the moment Kopernicus gets an upgrade for 1.1, and if I remember correctly the Kopernicus devs are already working on that, so I think it's safe to say you won't have to wait long for 1.1 compatibility after 1.1 releases.

Perhaps so, but regardless of the year, your use of language may be offensive to others. Please keep that in mind when writing messages.

When I install OPM or kerbonicus, Kerbin  64 gets installed is there any way I can stop this because I still want the original size Kerbin

That's strange, could you post a screenshot of your GameData folder?

@CaptRobau, I created a science checklist for Outer Planets mods.

In the ZIP, there is a PDF and the original ODS file. Feel free to use it or improve it.

KSP - OPM Science Checklist (150kB zip - pdf + ods)

BTW, I noticed that Thatmo lack atmospheric science data.

1.1 support will come when the Kopernicus for 1.1 is released, which will only be after 1.1 is fully released. Kopernicus needs stability not bugs and bugs, so I support its creator's decision to no release a version of 1.1 pre-release.

@Warzouz; thanks!

And BTW @CaptRobau, beside 1.1, what are your plans for OPM in the near futur ?

EDIT other question :

Does OPM handle Kerbal experience ?

Edited April 5, 2016 by Warzouz

[CaptRobau]

No special Kerbal Experience support. I'm assuming it's a mod. What does it need to be supported?

About future updates:

• The next update is all about revamping the planets and moons that have been added so far. Improved and more unique terrain (procedural craters, etc.), improved use of ground scatter and terrain textures. The goal is to make it feel like new and push everything to Kerbin/Mun like quality. It's a been a long and tough path to do all this, but I'm learning more and more about the intricacies of Kopernicus/KSP's complicated terrain system.
• The update after that I'm planning to do a biome revamp. A lot more can be done with the biome system, more than stock does and I plan to showcase that in this episode.

After that I don't know.

Going on holiday for three week starting next Monday though, so won't be able to finish the update before that. If a stable 1.1/Kopernicus comes out, someone will no doubt be able to write a patch to make 1.9.2 for it if that is at all needed.

[Warzouz]

@CaptRobau, thanks for the input. As for experience, I was just wondering about the planets XP multipliers.

[ibanix]

Is there something in particular I need to get contracts for OPM planets? I have Module Manger installed.

[CaptRobau]

Nope. The game automatically generates contracts for new planets. It's smart like that.

plant niine was discovered now so pls pls pls addd dis plant!

 I think I'll wait for data from the telescopes and observatories before asking for planet 9.

well P9 is still a hypothetical body currently, while there is small evidence in the orbits of bodies far out that lean to the notion that it could exist, it is still unproven and speculatory currently.

True, true. At least I can send it into the Sun in Universe sandbox.

You are right, but it's still cool.

So apparently EVE has bugs with Kopernicus which causes planet textures to get cut off on hemisphere lines. So that kills most of the visual addons for me...

Anyone have a Kopernicus/OPM compatible visual mod /not/ using EVE?

[Astronaut #1]

Can you fix your texture probloms

this bug has also been reported on installs without kopernicus, so it's likely theres something more going on. However if you want a visual pack that only uses Kopernicus, I might have something for you

If you are trying to ask something, its better to be specific and not demanding. If there are some sort of texture issues, then perhaps stating what they are would help more than simply demanding them fixed. Attitudes such as yours aren't appreciated, no matter the thread.

[Astronaut #1]

im sry. ill never do it again but the problem was when i made custom planets they appeared white and without textures. So if you know how to fix that pleas let me know.

Is this an issue with OPM planets? or with planets you are making? if its OPM then try re-installing the mod, if its your own custom planets then post your cfgs and Logs/ folder along with the issues in the Kopernicus thread rather than this one.

[Astronaut #1]

ok i have 2 planets that have the prolbom of no textures. this is the first one. (the textures for both planets are in the Tetxures folder in Kopernicus folder fyi.)

If you know how to fix these codes to make the planets have color pls let me know. either way thx

(Pls know kittipoia tech does not work for me)
