Outer Planets Mod

Gameplay:

• Overhauled Hale's terrain, making it a bit more detailed and the cliffs slightly more imposing
• Set Ovok's min- and maxLevel to 1 to greatly reduce the spikiness by forcing the most simple terrain setting to always be active
• Overhauled Eeloo's terrain, adding procedural craters and improving terrain detail in general
• Overhauled Slate's terrain, making the volcano and mountains more imposing, adding procedural craters, improving terrain detail in general
• Overhauled Tekto's terrain, making the terrain a bit smoother, more detailed and lining up the ocean better with the color map
• Overhauled Polta's terrain, adding procedural craters and improving terrain detail in general
• Overhauled Priax's terrain, slightly changing the shape and increasing terrain detail to create a more chaotic, Hyperion-like feel
• Overhauled Wal's terrain, making the central ridge's height a bit shorter (more realistic), adding procedural craters, improving terrain detail in general
• Overhauled Tal's terrain, radically reducing spikiness and making it a more detailed and smooth body
• Overhauled Thatmo's terrain, adding
• Overhauled Nissee's terrain, radically reducing spikiness and making it a more detailed and smooth body
• Overhauled Plock's terrain, reducing spikiness, adding procedural craters and increasing detail in general
• Overhauled Karen's terrain, reducing spikiness, adding procedural craters and increasing detail in general
• Added improved terrain scatter to all solid OPM bodies
• Reduced Slate's gravity from 0.85 to 0.692, to make it the Tylo Lite that it was intended to be

Visual:

• Added an community sub-mod to the download called CTTP that contains high-quality terrain textures
• Added custom terrain textures to all solid OPM bodies
• Added better quality height maps for Plock and Karen with less artifacts
• Added better quality color map to Tekto with less artifacts
• Replaced Slate's color map with a 4K version
• Re-imported height maps for Plock, Karen and Tal from source files to remove artifacts that had appeared through editing
• Downsized Nissee's height map from 2K to 1K to produce smoother terrain
• Downsized Thatmo's color map from 4K to 2K, as the moon did not need the extra resolution to look good
• Redid all ScaledSpace/PQS fades to make the transition smoother
• Removed cache files to save space, replacing them with a method to generate them on first launch at the cost of a few extra seconds loading time
• Redid normal maps for all solid OPM bodies
• Redid the contrasts for the OPM bodies to make the transition from ScaledSpace to PQS smoother

Interface:

• Added KSPedia entries for Outer Planets Mod, courtesy of Poodmund

Mod support:

• Added missing text for discovering Karen in the ResearchBodies config
• Redid all the existing OPM discovery texts in the ResearchBodies config

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a typo in the temperatureSeaLevel variable in Tekto's cfg
• Fixed Ovok's strange ScaledSpace lighting swirl at the poles
• Fixed Wal's normal map cutting off before the top of the equatorial ridge
• Fixed Nissee's North polar mountain

Miscellaneous:

• Changed the orders of the PQSMods to 10, 20, 30, etc. in order to make it easier to understand
• Shuffled the PQSMods in the cfgs so they matched their order
• Switched template of Slate, Tekto, Polta, Priax, Tal, Nissee, Thatmo, Plock and Karen to Moho to make the terrain overhaul easier
• Removed unnecessary PQSMods that were inherited by OPM bodies from their templates
• Updated the AVC version file
• Removed the Kopernicus license, since it is no longer bundled with the mod
