[Outdated] v1.1.2

Happy to know that @Qazerowl made a derivative work of RSS-Origin CelestialsPack, RSS-Origin-Less. It is a paried down version of RSS-Origin CelestialsPack but with less bodies and clearer installation. But do notice that since it's not the official work so it might not always up-to-date. It is also available on CKAN. Thank you Qazerowl!

What's Changed

RSSOCP = RSS-Origin CelestialsPack
RSSTTR = RSS-Origin RSSTexture&TopoRevamp
RSSOGT = RSS-Origin GalaxyTex

• [RSSOCP] Enhanced normalmap (shadow) quality for basically all celestials
• [RSSOCP] Use custom cache file for 9P/Temple 1, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, 16 Psyche, 21 Lutetia, 433 Eros, 624 Hektor, 385446 Manwë for a much more detailed surface topography. Default version cache files have 65536 vertices. There‘s also a higher-poly version cache files for them, which can be enabled inside GameData/RSSOrigin/RSSOriginSettings.cfg. But!!! before enable it, you have to guarantee that you are: either using RSS-Reborn, or not using RSS-Reborn but using ballisticfox's custom Kopernicus fork. (Click the hyperlink and download the latest version, then delete the Kopernicus folder in you GameData and install the one you just downloaded) (Thanks @ballisticfox for the custom cache method)
• [RSSOCP] Now use flat normalmap for celestials that are too tiny (radius<409m), or celestials that are lacking of surface details in order to save some disk and memory usage
• [RSSOCP] Fix color map of 9P/Temple 1 being horizontally flipped
• [RSSOCP] Use multiple heightmaps for 21 Lutetia for finer terrain
• [RSSTTR] Enhanced normalmap (shadow) quality for basically all revamped celestials
• [RSSTTR] Now use 16-bit heightmap for Ceres, Vesta and Phobos (Thanks @ballisticfox)
• [RSSTTR] Minor color changes to Ganymede and Callisto
• [RSSTTR] Refurbish Deimos
• [RSSOGT] Fixed issue#3
• No changes for RSS-Origin JSUNrings
• Other minor changes

[Outdated] v1.1.1

What's Changed

RSSOCP = RSS-Origin CelestialsPack
RSSTTR = RSS-Origin RSSTexture&TopoRevamp

• Update README.md
• [RSSOCP, RSSTTR] Fix in-game time doesn't match with real world time. Need to create a new save to take effect, old saves won't be affected. (A silly mistake of Principia initial state made by myself when testing the mod. Apologize to all players. Principia needs 2 values to control when the game starts, solar_system_epoch and game_epoch. The former one is JD2433282.5 by default (correspond to 1950-1-1), the latter one need to delay by one year (JD2433647.5) to match the date 1951-1-1 which is the starting date of RSSDateTimeFormatter. The one year gap between the two dates need some time of background computing when creating the new save, thus increasing my mod-testing time. So to avoid these unwanted waiting time I set the game_epoch to be the same as solar_system_epoch. But unfortunately I forgot to change it back in the previous V1.1.0 update. And that's how this issue was made.)
• [RSSOCP] Use OnDemand node for all RSS-Origin Celestials to save memory usage and decrease loading time
• [RSSTTR] Add lava emissions to Io
• [RSSTTR] Force disable EVE cloud layers of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune by default if RSS-Origin RSSTexture&TopoRevamp is installed. Turn it back on in GameData/RSSOrigin/RSSOriginSettings.cfg if you want EVE clouds (mainly for KSRSS and GGE/RVE2.0 users)
• No changes for RSS-Origin JSUNrings and RSS-Origin GalaxyTex

[Outdated] v1.1.0

RSS-Origin is now live on CKAN. Installing RSS-Origin from CKAN is recommended. But make sure to delete your previously manually installed RSS-Origin folder (if you have) if you want to install using CKAN.

The second official release version of RSS-Origin. A lot of content had changed since v1.0.0. Please check "Installation Guide" before you continue.

--- Precautions for upgrading: Make sure to delete the older version of RSS-Origin (folder) in your GameData before you installing the newer one. ---
