Tutorial:Making a planet

It was never very easy to create planets in KSP - it often required decompiling, which is against the EULA. After a long time looking, a mod called Kopernicus was released and found, making it easy to make planets.

Specifications

• Length: 15-30 minutes
• Difficulty: Medium
• For version: 1.0.x

Steps

1. Obtaining the prequisites

You will need:

• A text editor
• An image editor
• Kopernicus 0.1

Many developers prefer text editors like Notepad++, a rather advanced program. Image editors usually are advanced, but even Paint would work. You can find Kopernicus [here].

2. Setting up the basic file

Create a file, and name it: PLANET.cfg Change PLANET to your planet or moon's name. Inside the file, write this in:

@Kopernicus:AFTER[Kopernicus]
{
 Body
 {
 }
}

This declares that the file is a Kopernicus configuration file and a celestial body.

Done!

At the moment, coding in Kopernicus is not completed, due to the enormity of the subject. It will be done soon.
