Goal: bring stock Jool up to par with the quality of the base OPM gas giants, while maintaining mostly stock colors. Inspired by Snark's JoolBiomes
Mostly a proof-of-concept of https://www.seedofandromeda.com/blogs/49-procedural-gas-giant-rendering-with-gpu-noise
Subgoals:
1024x512 scaled space texture (same size as base OPM)
Indexed, colored biome map, with Kerbnet colors
(incomplete) Biome maps for supported visual mods (SciFi is currently possible)
(incomplete) Science flavor text for the different biomes
(incomplete) Jupiter-esque dust ring
(incomplete) EVE-based storms and cloud swirls (optional)
Required: Module Manager, Kopernicus
Recommended: OPM, EVE, Realistic Atmospheres, Custom Asteroids + OPM configs
Incompatible: Most visual overhaul mods that affect Jool
The mod disables itself when unsupported visual overhaul mods are detected. Most of the popular visual overhaul mods change Jool enough so that the biome map added by this mod is pointless (and the updated scaled space/EVE clouds they provide are much better than the ones this mod gives). Custom biome maps will be included for supported mods.
