Actually Complete Solar System 2.0 - Development Thread

[Gurren Lagann]

This updated version will be compatable with steam edition right?

It should, and i expect finishing EDR1 Steam just after EDR1 Mobile. It will need a bit more testing though.

What about realistic mode on steam edition?

Well, the different difficulty modes, for now, will also serve as the system scale modes:
- Normal = Stock 1:20
- Hard = IRIS 1:4
- Realistic = RSS 1:1
If it throws the game balance off to an unplayable level, i will change that, but that would depend on how the more skilled players tackle ACSS 2's Realistic mode.

Heating is a massive issue in RSS

 

[TheWos]

That was fast...

Yeah, its indeed July 19th.

Yooo

 

[Gurren Lagann]

First screenshots of ACSS 2 EDR1! Here i demonstrate Earth's (relatively flat) terrain and locations. I know its underwhelming but i've just reached this point. Heightmaps are pain.

EDR1 development is at its final phase, "putting the keys together", but July 19 is starting to look more like a lower bound than a release date... I blame the heightmaps from irregular objects here.

What exactly is EDR1? Also what is the performance of the game with the pack installed?

What exactly does EDR1 stand for? Also what is the performance of the pack so far?

 

[Marmilo]

Probably unbearable

Early Data Release 1. Basically ACSS 2's first beta release. Also y'know, like the Gaia data releases.

Also what is the performance of the game with the pack installed?

So far the lag is mainly guided by the textures loading when you boot up your world. Not even the 30-meter, 1.2M+ datapoint, 17.4 MB Earth heightmap lags the game somehow. The orbit lag is unknown however, and its true extent will only be known by DR1.

 

[how do i mod in 1.5]

are the oceans just where the land is or is there actual water

The ocean update isn’t out just yet (1.6) so most likely not

 

[how do i mod in 1.5]

what time is the pack coming out? (and timezone)

 

[Gurren Lagann]

what time is the pack coming out? (and timezone)

Time is unknown here. But you can base it on UTC-3 (Horário Padrão de Brasília).

Hey-o! Just noting that the release of ACSS 2 EDR1 will be delayed a bit. Yes its because of irregular objects again. Don't worry though, the pack is almost completely finished: for example, the location database is fully complete and converted in SFS's format.

Don’t worry, we can wait

 

[ManFace6]

Good luck

 

[ManFace6]

Good luck

Don’t forget to add all 145 moons of Saturn!

 

[thefunipin]

ok so these is the smallest update,it adds a bunch of stars and nothing else,most of these stars are only for exploration and dont have planets.(u need to rename Sag A* to only Sagittarius for these to work,also i have to do various messgaes to upload all the new update because it wont let me upload more than 20 files,alos u need extrasolar pack sun

bro its a solar system mod not the universe >:I

When you put the progress post on the wrong thread...

Anyway, here's ACSS 2's signature planet, Saturn:

ACSS 2 EDR1 - Progress Update

Also, the irregular mesh problem is finally solved thanks to image heightmaps, and it will never come up again!

 

[DetachedHat1799]

So just a thought: the progress thing is like, green done, orange in progress, black impossible, red not started on?

Switch red and black around and you get that spot on.

 

[Cresign]

Does Deimos really not have any locations? Seems odd

 

[Gurren Lagann]

Not equatorial ones anyway. Its main craters are too far from the Equator for then to count.

 

[James Brown]

Ok, only asteroids and planet nine left
