Actually Complete Solar System 2.0 - Development Thread

[Gurren Lagann]

Of course! In fact that's what the Early Data Releases (the E in EDR) are for - versions where specific features are tested on a grander scale while ACSS 2 slowly builds up to the first full release (Data Release 1), but still allowing for full gameplay of the pack without major hindrances.

A few spoilers regarding what features will be tested in-mass:
- Binary KBOs (Pluto-Charon, Quaoar-Weywot, the works)
- Hyperbolic orbits (C/2012 A1 (ISON), 'Oumuamua, etc.)
- Image heightmaps and locale behavior
- Overlapping locations (Hint: Fly to Pluto's heart)

Woah, hyperbolic orbits? So, it's there, then it's gone?!? Better have some leadup time lol.

I've tried hyperbolic orbits a few times and all the times the orbit line disappeared

Same, however the test for EDR1 in regards to hyperbolic orbits is physics-related: are such hyperbolic objects landable, if reachable?
Just to make sure its not just my version of SFS doing things. (Positive and negative SMAs may be involved too)

...phew, the atmospheres are done. To give an idea of how beastly the calculations are, i made an entire sheet just for the atmospheres!

what kind of sheet is this

 

[Gurren Lagann]

Atmospheric data basically.

Atmospheric data basically.

how is that used in planet pack creation

 

[Gurren Lagann]

What's up everyone, i'm not dead!
Just noting that the orbits for EDR1 are all done. I hope to have everything up for release by Jan 1st, with Nearby Worlds EDR1 releasing up to a week later.
But who knows.

Hooray!

 

[Gurren Lagann]

Okay here's another teaser at EDR1.
Welcome to The Solar System.

 

[IdiotStick]

what the fuck

 

[ASTIDA]

好的，这是 EDR1 的另一个预告片。
欢迎来到太阳系。

你能添加更多的克罗伊茨太阳彗星吗？我喜欢它们

Looks nice keep up the work

 

[ASTIDA]

Can you fix this?

 

[Gurren Lagann]

(Had to grab Google Translate for that one) I do plan Kreutz Sungrazers for a later EDR. Maybe EDR2 or 3.

I actually just did at today morning. I had swapped the values at Philas Crater and had to do some duplication at Weyu Lobus to fix both.

DUDE WE DONT ALL HAVE NASA COMPUTERS

 

[Gurren Lagann]

Finally, the colors are done!
Physical parameter stuff are next. This should be much faster, since just radius and surface gravity are needed.
Except that there's 208 objects in EDR1 and this number could at least triple by DR1.

 

[QZU344]

is it true color im guessing

Nearby worlds will release 1 day before my planet pack's 1 year anniversary.

aiu 1.8.1 is coming soon too im going for right before ACSS2 comes out

Coincidence how I'm also release version 1.8.1 soon for my Imperial Planet Pack.

 

[Gurren Lagann]

is it true color im guessing

Yes actually! Or at the very least as close as possible (looks at ETNOs).

Not gonna lie, we're truly getting into a golden age here...

Looks promising can't wait

yeah and 2024 looks promising for my LIFE
