How To Make Kopernicus Planets

[TheBlackDwarf]

Hello and welcome to this tutorial

lets start off with the beginning

makeing a star

  @Kopernicus 
{
    Body
    {
        name = 
        flightGlobalsIndex = 900
        Template
        {
            name = Sun
        }
        Properties
        {
            description = 
            geeASL = 0.0962500333786
            tidallyLocked = False
            rotationPeriod = 115643
            initialRotation = 180
            timewarpAltitudeLimits = 0 8000 8000 25000 40000 80000 160000 250000
            ScienceValues
            {
            }
        }
        Orbit
        {
            referenceBody = Sun
            inclination = 16.3846492767334
            eccentricity = 0.224659410343803
            semiMajorAxis = 9691119496191.266
            longitudeOfAscendingNode = 206.502426147461
            argumentOfPeriapsis = 30.4338626861572
            meanAnomalyAtEpoch = 0.780504822731018
            epoch = 0
            color = 0.910,0.761,0.278,0.525
         }
     }

this is a template i made to show what a stars cfg would look like

now lets say you would want to make a planet you would not make anouther cfg for it like you would in PFCE here is what you would do

  Body
    {
        name = 
        flightGlobalsIndex = 951
        Template
        {
            name = 
        }
        Properties
        {
            radius = 117000
            geeASL = 0.1
            mass = 3.6191e+22
            description =
            ScienceValues
            {
                landedDataValue = 145
                splashedDataValue = 1
                flyingLowDataValue = 52
                flyingHighDataValue = 40
                inSpaceLowDataValue = 87
                inSpaceHighDataValue = 59
                recoveryValue = 7
            }
        }    
        Orbit
        {
            referenceBody = Sol
            color = 0.823529,0.705882,0.54902,1
            inclination = 5.79
            eccentricity = 0.04
            semiMajorAxis = 21000000
            longitudeOfAscendingNode = 41
            argumentOfPeriapsis = 0
            meanAnomalyAtEpoch = 0
            epoch = 0
        }
        ScaledVersion
        {
            Material
            {    
                texture = Kopernicus/Textures/(name)_map
                normals = Kopernicus/Textures/(name)_normal                
            }
        }
    }

after the two brackets of the star add Body and then the code above

then add three brackets after the planet and add anouther planet with the starting point named (Body)

if you would like you can use this code as a start for your project

and all the textures can be taken from space engine just rename the file to (name)_map.png

and the bump to (name)_bump.png

and the normal (name)_normal.png

If not hard to make guide for creating the planet with the creation .bin files in KopernicusTech.

Just do scalled space

hi , if you havent found out how to do it yet , add this to the config ; after flightGlobalIndex
 

Debug
        {
        exportBin = true
	}
	cacheFile = ()/()/().bin

Hi Alonime, TheBlackDwarf may not answer as he's not been around since last July, this is a pretty old thread.

If you'd like to start a new thread on making kopernicus planets though, that'd be great
