Thanks to you I made a red giant star 102x Kerbol’s size and eight times the mass and moved it to very far away and it still caused every planet to be razed by hellfire.
You have to mak a custom keys set for kerbol's light mods like low light levels red do this I recommend using on of these keys eet for kerbol for your star system
Oh yeah that reminds me, i wanted fo make a planet pack that adds in the analogue to the hypothetical planet vulcan, should probably get back on making that
okay but what about, a planet called "execution sphere" that is 1km in size and has 30x the mass of kerbol, meaning if you enter its sphere of influence, you just die, oh and also it has the sphere of influence the size of jool
How to make a realistic star system (not ours) in a few easy steps: 1. Make a Black Hole "Star" which is all black and has Yellow "Rings". 2. Make Kerbol orbit this Black Hole. 3. Pick at least 1 of the below options, and peform as many times as required. 3a. Make a Custom Star System which also orbits the Black Hole. 3b. Make another mod's Star System orbit the Black Hole, and require this mod as a dependency on the mod page. 4. Debug. 5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the game loads and you are happy with the result. 6. (Optional) Add custom parts to allow travel to these star systems, or reccomend a mod which does the same. 7. Publish the mod.
great video! i discovered this after making LSR (which was my first mod, by the way). just something to add, a procedural noise map could be used and then stitched together to add some fine-grained noise without suffering polar distortion.
we have been blessed by the lord of ksp mods yet again! i would like to say, though: this tutorial is incredibly understandable, even if i still kinda suck at ksp planet modding, so very great job! also, the fact that it's up-to-date instead of being 5 years old, like many other tutorials, just means that it's more useful. those old tutorials are still fine, but this is really good! now do binary orbits, trinary orbits, quadruple orbits, black holes and everything very difficult to do (evil laughter) im kidding
@@_thresh_ Correct, it's not too difficult to do. Create a "Dummy planet" point mass with the same combined mass as the two bodies. Calculate the location of the barycenter between the two real planets with maths. Or just approximate it, if the two planets are about the same mass, just put it roughly equi-distant, if one mass is around double the other, put the barycentrer about 2/3's of the distance between them, closer to the largest mass, and so on. Ensure the two planets are tidally locked to the barycenter and have matching orbital periods. Give each of the planets the appropriate SOI so that when getting close enough to each individually they behave like normal, calculate the approximate hill sphere of each body with maths or just approximate. Ensure the two SOI's add up to the combined Semi-Major Axis to "overlap" the barycenter and avoid weird barycenter-blackhole f*ckery when transiting between planets. Feel free to add close moons to the planets or very distance moons that orbit the COM. Disable the Barycenter Orbital Icon. Enjoy. Edit: Keep in mind it's only an approximatiom for a binary system with KSP's Two-Body Gravity, if you want real binary behaviour, you'll need a mod like Principia.
@@_thresh_I have this mod which adds story and another star system (Kerbol System UNMODDIFIED) as well as some planets. It has a binary planet and this is exactly what they do, they make a planet called "x and y" and make the planets x and y orbit it, with the planet "x and y" invisible, with no radius so you can't crash into it. (The original has gravity so it has a SOI, but it isn't necessary) X and Y are just the names of the planets in a Binary Orbit.
I definitely would love to try this. But it seems rather complex. Loving your current mod so far. Volumetric clouds are there, i requested them before and glad they are in the mod now I have one issue, the game often crashes when entering the SOI of a star.
One of the required mods are KSP Community Fixes forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/204002-18-112-kspcommunityfixes-bugfixes-and-qol-tweaks/ What you have to do is scroll down in the settings (the kind in the space center view) and turn off the maneuver tool with it. (The maneuver tool causes a lot of lag with large systems (also, the maneuver tool is not the maneuver node feature, it's the little thing on the sidebar that makes maneuvers for you))
Great tutorial! The rings tutorial really helped me make my own rings for jool. You have explained in a simple way and I hope to create some better stuff in the future!
Better way to create star system: -Find a really high quality planet pack created by someone who actually knows what they're doing -Change their orbital parameters and place them in a location of your choice in your new system -Add Scatterer and Clouds -Rinse and repeat until you have a beautiful system of planets. -Profi-CRASH THE GAME FROM LACK OF MEMORY!
There's unfortunately no way to have the star be "on its own" because Kerbol is essentially the centre of the universe in KSP. What you can do is add a "Mode = OFF" value to your Orbit node to hide the orbit line, then set the period to a really high number (Period = 1000000000000000) This adds the illusion that the star is separate from the Kerbol system.
Can you not just like make a black hole "star" which kerbol and any new stars are made to orbit? Since this is exactly like stars in real life (except they pull on each other)
how do i edit Proksimus Kirbani to make it visible during it being far away? and edit other stars so they dont shine so brightly against other planets there not supposed to?

Im having problems with my gas giant Tessler, the rings are a solid color and the orbit line is distorted and way out of the solar system but the planet is in the correct place
Hi. The tutorial works like a charm, but there is a slight problem. When I make my gas giant orbit my custom star, the gas giant appears red. I'm not sure what's causing this, but I think it may be the light intensity curve calculator that I am using which seems to have different values than yours? And this only happens when it's orbiting my custom star, when it was orbiting Kerbol it was completely fine. I'm honestly quite confused as to why this is happening, so it would be highly appreciated if you could at least help me with this.
I'm trying to make the atmosphere planet but whenever I add it to my mod the entire system does not appear and my ksp lot says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", does anybody know what I did wrong?
Please tell me the fix, i don't have that application and i have no idea what is wrong, my gas giant doesn't show up and the game crashes when trying to focus on a star from another mod i didn't make!

I'm having a great time making a custom system for myself with this tutorial! I'm having a bit of trouble with heightmaps though. No matter what I do or what settings I change, every planet uses the heightmap of the template planet instead of the heightmap I provide for it. Has anyone else had this issue, and does anyone have any advice for how to resolve this? Thank you!
To clarify, I have removeAllPQSMods set to True in the template section and I'm still getting the same result, even after removing and re-generating the cache file for the planet in question
@@VexWythe you're having issues with PQS or the scaled mesh? PQS being the planet from the ground and scaled being the planet from map view / very far away

No. The tutorial makes a very hot planet orbiting Kerbol in a very large orbit. It has moons and some of those moons have moons. (Satalites are the official term, if you are orbiting the mün, you are kinda like those moons of moons of planets, except those have a SOI when you don't)
awesome video! however what if you want replace the sun itself with a bigger star and different display name, is that possible? i've tried making my own custom star but it won't load in, even after deleting the sun or even when i place it in orbit further away. am i doing something wrong?

To sum it up : The lower res part when zooming out isnt level with actual ground.
delete the cache file that the planet generated, that stores the scaled mesh and should be remade if it's missing
@@Sushut okay i will do that
:O Wow, you just saved me days of trying to figure this out when it was just a config file all along. Thank you!
I wonder how to replace the stock planets with custom ones
you can just delete them and then make new ones
just put
@Kopernicus
{
!Body[Eve]{}
}
or something to delete Eve (replace Eve with whatever you want to delete)
also note that replacing kerbin is much harder and more nuanced.
If you want to replace Kerbin or Kerbol, you need to edit them directly.

I'm having a great time making a custom system for myself with this tutorial! I'm having a bit of trouble with heightmaps though. No matter what I do or what settings I change, every planet uses the heightmap of the template planet instead of the heightmap I provide for it. Has anyone else had this issue, and does anyone have any advice for how to resolve this? Thank you!
To clarify, I have removeAllPQSMods set to True in the template section and I'm still getting the same result, even after removing and re-generating the cache file for the planet in question
@@VexWythe you're having issues with PQS or the scaled mesh? PQS being the planet from the ground and scaled being the planet from map view / very far away
@@Sushut I actually didn't realize those were different things! I thought I was having trouble with PQS, but I just figured out that I'd set up my normal maps wrong! Thanks so much, I'm all good now!
Is this custom star system?
I don't know.
No. The tutorial makes a very hot planet orbiting Kerbol in a very large orbit. It has moons and some of those moons have moons. (Satalites are the official term, if you are orbiting the mün, you are kinda like those moons of moons of planets, except those have a SOI when you don't)
how do i make a .bin file?
Kopernicus does it for you. All you need to do is specify the path to put it in
@@Sushut thank you! :)
@@Sushut One question, how do i fix my craft falling (slightly clipping) into the ground through the ground a little bit when i'm landed?
@@animationman9509 I haven't heard about that issue in a while, are you using the latest kopernicus version?
nice music, dont know what was in the video
can you help? i already did what you did in the video and checked for typos but my planet still won't load, if needed i can send you the config file
it's best if you can send the config to sushut on discord
Can someone please help me make this work this EVE and Scatterer?
check out the wikis for those mods, or check out other planet packs that do have configs for them
awesome video! however what if you want replace the sun itself with a bigger star and different display name, is that possible? i've tried making my own custom star but it won't load in, even after deleting the sun or even when i place it in orbit further away. am i doing something wrong?
I've done it a few times, but it's hard to explain, basically you have to edit the sun, not delete it
@@Sushut i'm willing to try if you still remember how you did it
@@randomperson-rn1gg it would be much easier for me to talk about this on discord
@@Sushut nevermind i figured it out. i used @Body:HAS[@Template:HAS[#name[Sun]]] to change some properties!!
@@randomperson-rn1gg you can also do @Body[Sun] but that works too (note that @Body:HAS[@Template:HAS[# name[Sun]]] will edit EVERY star in game, including ones added by mods)

for the rim you have to edit the gradient inside scaledversion material
