just wondering, will it be possible to at least adjust the opacity of the designer UI? while i can't personally test the beta (since i don't have SR2 on PC), i generally dislike translucent UI's, so i was wondering if we will be able to do any adjustments to it once the full thing releases
it doesn't work, it doesn't activate at any mach number
do i need to adjust something on the input controller (like output/axis, min/max values, etc)?
@ChaoticGraviton
try turning terrain physics on (it's in the main tab where you set name, description, radius, etc), if it was already on then it's a bug with the game, i've had it multiple times too
large fuel tanks do that too, obviously it is overflowing the integer limit
but hey, who cares, free money from launching rockets because taxpayers are so impressed by the sheer chonkiness! :D
carbon fibre is love, carbon fibre is life
memes aside, you should definitely add carbon fibre to your fanmade list, having extremely high costs but also being very lightweight, strong, and having good heat tolerance
@Wenhop i already wrote how i'd organize the posts, statistics and whatnot first, then the text description/explanation
@Gen3ralInterstel1ar it's mostly just for extraterrestrial objects and systems (i already have quite a lot planned) but i might add some other topics too
i actually had some ideas for new docking port styles so i thought i'd share them here Basic - literally just what we have right now Sleek - a smoothened, futuristic design, essentially it is a flat cylinder that tapers down to a smaller radius and then to the actual docking part, basically it looks like an oversized rcs nozzle Expander - when docking is enabled it extends via some sort of telescoping mechanism, which can prevent collisions between docked crafts due to the port not being far enough Slot and Connector - one-way docking port, obviously inspired by SR1
i'm pretty sure you can upload more than 4, i heard the devs implemented that feature into this game and site too (it originated from SP) but it didn't work due to some reason so they disabled it, though that was a fairly long time ago so maybe they have since fixed and re-enabled it?
@SamTheFox
yeah, it does sound really weird, and the afterburner gives it a bit more meaty feel but otherwise it definitely lacks the high pitch that jet engines are known for
yes, that too, sometimes i use the connection menu and disable annoying sticky attach points, its super useful, but as you said rather underused
@plane918273645
right... even with my poor memory i'll try to help as much as i can
to add textures to celestial body, simply go to the texture tab (appearance of a square filled with diagonal lines), press the plus to add one. you'll be directed to the current celestial body folder (in game), leave out of there and into the Terrain Textures (i think its called that?) folder where you'll find all of the textures. simply pick a texture you like, hit confirm or add or whatever, and bam you have the texture, you can also adjust its brightness (sometimes textures may make the surface very dark or very bright) and strength (to increase or decrease detail; you can also put this into negative values to get some really funky stuff); this goes the same for ring textures although their textures appearances can't be configured, only the size of the ring
to add textures to the game itself, you need to find the SupportFiles folder in the CelestialDatabase folder of the game (keep in mind that there are two of these, one for your own creations and one for downloaded ones), however the paths leading to these are of course different on each device, so i can't help too much there. once you've found the folder, paste/add the texture into it, you can try to make your own texture, which, while it is doable, you notably expressed your "skill at being bad", so the only other option is to download terrain textures, there are a multitude of sites but almost all of them require an overpriced subscription and maybe even additional payment just to get the texture, either way you need to look for the keyword seamless in order to get smooth and clean textures
you need to decrease the grid size and angle snap values in the designer
if it still doesn't go to the right spot, place the parts just floating in the designer and move them to the correct spot with the translation tool, then use the connection menu to connect the part(s) to the body
yes, you do need to edit the XML externally, i haven't seen any mods that let you have an "overload for PS" that would let you edit values within the game
anyways, i hope to see your star cluster soon :)
@Gen3ralInterstel1ar
you need to edit the SMA's of the celestial bodies in the system's XML file, so far its the only way to get orbits beyond whatever the normal limit is
@Gen3ralInterstel1ar
i'm guessing this is just an oversight, the test dummy was removed in 920 but you forgot to remove the "ragdoll physics" setting in the options, just sayin'
funny, i once tried to do a single-launch space station back in my KSP days, but since i had zero knowledge of orbital mechanics back then it kinda just got shot out into kerbol orbit, good times lol
but hey, since i'm thinking about that, maybe i could recreate that same thing over on SR2 with much better knowledge, is it okay if i do that?
you need something that supports png and can make transparent stuff, i used kapwing myself for a short while since it supports png and can do transparent but otherwise its not that good
my version is, as i said, a mix of both; as such, it'll keep things like the Taurus revamp (albeit reverted back to Titan yellow color) or other changes, but the blue Juno and extended Droo atmosphere will definitely be reverted back to the old color/height since many people complained about that
@Toinkove
yeah maybe lol
i'm also 100% reverting Droo atmosphere to original height, that and the blue dwarf were by far the most complained about things in the update lol
@Wenhop
yeah, school always overexxagerated planets by saying "they're egg/lemon/potato shaped" even tho it's like a few kilometer difference so for any normal person it'd just be spherical if viewed from space
@SamTheFox
yes... sometimes i straight up machine gun them onto the site, other times i'm like "okay i think the planet-building addiction finally ended" (and then starts again a few days later)
