DoctorOfSpace's Mod Emporium v0.9.8.0

DoctorOfSpace · 01 Feb 2017 07:47

I hope others try the x303 and report their results, I am curious if it will crash for most people. I was forced to use DetailDiffMaps due to errors with the model. I had to generate a very rough UV and then adjust the Detail map to it. I had many crashes while working on the x303 in 0.9.8.0 but I finished it with the version that is available, the Steam build that is. SpaceEngineer sent me a test patch to see if it still crashes and it doesn't so hopefully that will go out soon.

As for other ships, I have a couple low quality packs, currently I am trying to port

But I am having some issues so I may be unable to. I do have some Bridge Commander Stargate ships, including a 303 and 304 but they are very low quality.

Hey! Doc. X304 work's just fine, but X303 crashes SE. I thought you might like to know.

DoctorOfSpace · 01 Feb 2017 22:44

Good to know.

I will look into fixing it, but the model was a lot of work as it is already so I may just leave it and it will work in the next patch/update.

I tried Prometheus in an older version of SE, 0.9.7.4 and it crashed every time. I tried editing the SML and it let me spawn the ship, even after I edited the SML back to being the same as it was before. The program still crashed when I put it inside of a pak 100% of the time, but when loose it seems to load occasionally so maybe that is part of the problem

I have a request for both of you. Can you do the following

Extract the pak file inside of addons, any program like winrar or 7z will do it, and try spawning Prometheus. I suspect it will still crash

Remove the pak file from the addons directory or else it may continue crashing 100% of the time.

Navigate to addons\SGx303-304\textures\spacecraft\Stargate and open Prometheus.sml and do the following edit to either the same section or one of the first couple sections with the DetailDiffMap listing.

Material "x303Structure"
{
 DiffColor       (0.364 0.364 0.364)
 SpecColor       (0.175 0.175 0.175)
 SpecPower        132
 SpecMap         "Stargate/hull6spec.*"
 DiffMap         "Stargate/gritpanels.*"
 DiffMapAlpha    "Transp"
 TwoSided        true
 DetBumpMap      "Stargate/zinc03bump.*"
 DetBumpScale     15
 DetBumpHeight    1
// DetDiffMap      "Stargate/gritpanels.*"
// DetDiffScale     2
}

Now try and spawn Prometheus

Doing this allowed me to spawn Prometheus in 0.9.7.4, it still crashed but by turning off one DetailDiffMap then turning it back on would only crash some of the time. This is how I was doing it while working on the model as well, hopefully if you play around with this a bit you might be able to get it loaded.

I always keep allmyaddons unpacked for easychecking so I just have to do the commenting. Trying now.

...

Yes, it seems to work!

I quit and reloaded two times, and also destroyed and respawned it, and it looks fine without any crash.

HI Doctor of space, I have a big problem with polyphemus. First picture my polyphemus are blurry I don't know why I can't see clearly! The second pictures, I tested with other planet it's look like the real polyphemus thankfully my combo with atmophere "amberworld" O_o and third picture are when I install the new version I got the "fire" polyphemus?

DoctorOfSpace · 03 Feb 2017 19:11

Roswell,I hadn't checked system as I simply updated SpaceEngineer's addon and uploaded it. I will look into fixing it up again

On my PC it looks partially correct but has a few brown bands which should be blue, so I will fix Polyphemus color. I don't see anything like what is in your screenshots.

You may want to make sure you don't have any conflicting addons.

Doctor, these new ships are beautiful, thank you!!! Now for a much needed therapy journey!

This. Right now it's a perfect description of a typical SE session.

Avatar mod has a conflict. There is a planet Polyphemus, but Neptune also has Polyphemus the dwarf moon. Sometimes (but not always, donno why) they conjure and Neptune gets that huge avatar planet as a moon and it has all it's secondary moons. Weird thing.

DoctorOfSpace · 12 Mar 2017 08:24

I think that is fixed in 0.9.8.1 but would have to check with SpaceEngineer

This is fixed in 0.9.8.1 by introducing the "unprintable suffix" for object name. So "Polythemus" changed to "Polythemus$AVATAR" in catalogs, while in the game it still displayed as "Polythemus". It will be a "must have" option for fictional planets, if their names conflicts with real objects.
Temporary workaround for this for could be adding alternate name to the Polythemus, say "ALF Cen A 3", and change ParentBody of all its moons to "ALF Cen A 3". This is for beta testers, who have some last 0.981 build with updated catalogs, where the new moon of Neptune was added (but non-printable suffix still not). For other users, no problems, because there is no Polythemus moon of Neptune in 0.98.

I love that some of the trek ships have FX on their RCS, its a small detail that is really neat.
