[WIP] KopernicusTech - An integration attempt between Kopernicus and KittopiaTech (v0.13 - 03/26/15)

Is the ocean showing up when the terrain loads? The only time oceans have showed up in my scaled space exports is when there are oceans visible. If you want to raise or lower the terrain, I suggest using the offset variable.

Yes, I can see the ocean when the terrain loads. Thou I have not landed near the ocean yet so I'm not fully sure. Also, I want the ground to look like that of the Mun, but right now the ground is the sand dunes of Laythe

Yes, I can see the ocean when the terrain loads.

Is the ocean intensional?

timandy1 · April 24, 2015

Is the ocean intensional?

No, the ocean is not on purpose.

KillAshley · April 24, 2015

Did you actually want an ocean in the planet? If not change the template to duna, if you did, adjust the heightmap offset to raise/lower the terrain to suit

Thomas988 · April 24, 2015

Did you actually want an ocean in the planet? If not change the template to duna, if you did, adjust the heightmap offset to raise/lower the terrain to suit

But isn't Duna hardcoded with its atmosphere? Aeolus in my Odysseus planet pack has a template of Duna, and when ever terrain loads the entire moon goes red. But that was in the old Kopericus, and maybe that's changed in this version.

KillAshley · April 24, 2015

No it's not hardcoded as long as your config s are done properly, my new horizons pack used Duna as a template for 2 planets with no issues (back before I switched to stand alone kopernicus)

Oh, nice! Thanks for the info!

timandy1 · April 24, 2015

I tried using duna as a template, but when i updated the scaledspace the planet looked exactly like Duna! Also, my kerbals can walk right thru the ocean as if it wasent there

I can probably have a look at your config when I get home from work, see what the issue is. But next time please use a code or spoiler on the configs, as they take up a lot of space.

Candlelight · April 26, 2015

Can I use the star fix to edit the color of kerbol?

Of course! That's what it's meant for.

Looks like the person tried. There's a bracketed \spoiler and spoiler at the beginning and end of the log. To be fair.

Also how compatible is this currently with 1.0.2?

It works, however when playing career mode, I noticed that whenever I recovered a vessel it was always 957km away form KSC, effectively leaving it at only 54% value. ;.;

Mine are always 946.5 km away. Even with StageRecovery and/or other bases from KerbinSide, it's still the same spot.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to uninstall it, because my space station and all my commsats get deleted.

Until Kopernicus adds an ingame UI for editing PQS components, this mod remains relevant. And the particle system thingy in KittopiaTech has yet to be integrated into Kopernicus, so that's one more reason this mod is still relevant.
Don't demoralise Gravitasi with sayings like that, as he is the only person to ever show an interest, and skill, in continuing my plugin.

i remember [h=2]KittopiaTech[/h] i have rings jool and particles on the sun i really like it so much i have it back 0.90

Hay · May 22, 2015

So I can use this with KSP 1.0?

elemremy · May 28, 2015

hi !!

I followed the instructions and nothing works, the game just does not load my planet and I not in space .... what to do? please !!!

June 26, 2015

The holy grail of modding...it's here. Finally, I've found it!

June 26, 2015

Should I use this or just Kopernicus?

KillAshley · June 26, 2015

KopernicusTech isn't made for 1.0 and as such can be buggy sometimes. Kopernicus is a huge improvement, I recommend using it

Marten2Productions · July 24, 2015

Alright, I'm making a small fanmade moonpack for CaptRobau's Outer Planets Mod, and everything seems to work, except for one thing:

When I get close enough to my moons for scaledspace to disappear, the moon disappears completely. Even stranger, the surface is still there, just completely transparent.

Other than that, everything works fine. Does anyone know what's causing the surface to go invisible?

I'm not sure if your question has been answered already, but if not, here is the answer:

I've tried making a desert planet too, and logically used Duna as a template, which resulted in the same problem you're having with your planet.

Solution: Duna is a bad template. Use Tylo instead.

Everyone should be using this version of Kittopia if you are running the latest Kopernicus. It doesn't have full config saving yet, but has other features that the version in this thread does not, such as realtime Material editing, and file browser for adding textures to PQS mods.

Could I just mention that you shouldn't use Kittopia - EVER.

I learned that when I started my planet pack, since stuff didn't appear correctly.

Also, use the recent Kopernicus Update, and here's a better config structure, which doesn't require Kittopia and is somewhat more organized:

I'm new to the forum, but not to Kerbal Space Program modding. After months of grueling coding, game crashes, mutant planets, and stranded kerbals, I have finally gotten the hang of Kopernicus Tech. I've made a planet pack via K-Tech called the Othrys Planet Pack. As of right now, there are 4 planets and 6 moons this mod adds, but in the future there will (probably) be around 2 dozen! Each planet is unique and created by a LOT of effort. I will post some development screenshots in a few days and eventually create a forum page just for the mod.

BTW this mod is in KSP 0.90 because I got the game off of the official KSP website and I cannot figure out how to update it. So to anyone who wants to experience this mod but has a game version past 0.90 beta, sorry.

Kopernicus Tech is highly outdated. You are advised to use Kopernicus, which has a stable 1.0.4 build.
You can download a new copy of the game in the store, at the same place where you got 0.90. The KSP-Store Updater is a bit buggy, at the moment.

I'm planning to get KSP via Steam soon, and I once tried to do regular Kopernicus (before I realized it was for 1.0:P), so I somewhat understand how to use it in later versions. In fact, the planets (part of the Kerbal Frontiers mod I used to make) actually loaded up in the tracking station, yet my ships randomly exploded when I launched them. Also, is there any way I can update my download of KSP via the KSP store, and is that new copy you mentioned free or not?

Also, is there a Kittopia PQSMod that enhances a planet's texture when you get closer? My planet textures are somewhat blurry (especially the mountains) and very pyramid-like in some areas, so it is making my planets (such as Krios) unrealistic looking. I will post a screenshot in a bit with the pyramid mountains of my moon Krios.
