Full (re-)release v1.0.0

The mod's name has been changed to Advanced Atmosphere Tools to reflect the new focus of providing ways to manipulate atmosphere properties on a less-than-planetary scale.

Change notes:

  • Five new texture-based options for defining climate have been added:
  • Temperature Offset Map: adds a straight offset to the temperature. This is intended to make certain regions persistently hotter or colder.
  • Temperature Swing Multiplier Map: adds a multiplier to the day/night temperature difference. This can make the temperature swings more or less extreme in certain regions.
  • Pressure Multiplier Map: multiplies the pressure in the region by some value. This can be used to add a region of higher or lower pressure to your body.
  • Molar Mass Offset Map: adds an offset to the atmosphere molar mass. Can be used to mimic changing atmosphere composition with altitude, or add a region of locally different atmo composition (such as the plume of a volcano)
  • Adiabatic Index Offset Map: adds an offset to the adiabatic index. I don’t expect this to get a whole lot of use unless you have gone down the thermodynamics rabbit hole, but it’s there if you want it.
    All maps can take in multiplier curves for both altitude and time, and multiple of each can be added to any given body. They are meant to compliment the existing flowmap system to allow you to more easily define climate features for various bodies.
  • Added floatcurves for setting molar mass and adiabatic index based on altitude.
  • Flowmaps now have a setting to control east/west scrolling. This setting is also included in all the new texture-based options.
  • Pressure data now has the option to be blended with the “stock” values, similar to temperature. For both temperature and pressure, this option will be forced if both binary data and texture-based options are in use on the same body.
  • Pressure data and pressure maps now affect engine ISP, among other part stats.
  • Binary data is now considered a legacy feature. It will not receive any more updates beyond what is needed for compatibility with new features. You are still perfectly free to create your own data, though.
  • Top Level Node changed to AdvancedAtmosphereTools. Backwards comptibility is provided for configs with the old MCWS_DATA top level node
  • Fixed several bugs with flowmaps
