Kopernicus Backport 1.6.1-4

• refactored a large part of the codebase to align more with the coding style
  preferences in my IDE. This also includes merging the three core Kopernicus
  .dlls into one .dll again (+ Kopernicus.Parser).
• Cache more properties of the generated scaled space mesh and preload them,
  to reduce the amount of calculations and disk IO that is done when loading
  planets
• Reduce the amount of IO that is done by the logger
• The texture and normals values from ScaledVersion/Material are no
  longer loaded on demand. If you want on demand loading for scaled space
  textures, you have to specify their paths inside of a
  ScaledVersion/OnDemand node, using texture and normals, just like
  before.
• Allow loading fogColorRamp through a gradient instead of a texture
• Abort loading planets if System.cfg was modified directly. There is no
  reason to do that except if you want to make your mod unremovable without
  breaking every other mod. Planet packs are supposed to use ModuleManager
  (I am looking at you, KerbalGalaxy Remastered)
• Fix an error that prevented bodies with invisible = True from staying
  invisible, unless they templated the sun.
• Take over the mesh generation / spawning for scatter meshes. Stock merges
  them into one big mesh which makes it impossible to detect their actual
  position, or give them sub-objects. Every scatter instance is now it's own
  dedicated object, which greatly simplyfies things.
• Added a HeatEmitter scatter component that turns the scatter objects into a
  heat source.
• Removed ScatterExperiment and replaced it with ModuleSurfaceObjectTrigger.
  It's a part module that can be added to parts, and enable / disable
  KSPActions when the vessel is near a surface object with a certain name
  (surface objects are scatters and PQSCity). It also sends events to all
  other PartModules on the part, so plugin developers could handle scatter
  with custom logic
• Added a useBetterDensity option to the Scatter config. It tries to
  randomize the density a bit, and avoid rounding it down to an int like stock
  does. In stock, a scatter can either appear once (or more) per quad, or not
  at all. The idea behind useBetterDensity is to allow them to spawn, but not
  strictly on every quad.
• Added a ignoreDensityGameSetting option to the Scatter config. If
  everything fails, this can be used to stop the density game setting from
  influencing your scatter, so you only have to find one density config that
  works. The scatter will be treated as if the game setting was set to 100%
• Allow scatter rotation control through the rotation option. By default it
  is set to rotation = 0 360 which means the scatter can rotate between 0
  and 360 degrees. Set it to rotation = 0 0 to fix the rotation
• Allow specifying multiple meshes and randomly selecting one through the
  Meshes node in the scatter config. It can contain multiple entries (choose
  the key as you like), that point to .obj files in GameData. Kopernicus will
  load them all and assign one randomly to every scatter object that gets
  spawned.
• Added a spawnChance option in the scatter config, that can be used to fine
  tune density even more.
• The ScatterColliders component allows specifying a simplified collision mesh
  (.obj), through the collider option, as opposed to using the visual mesh for
  collisions
• Added a scatter module that forces the scatters to spawn at sea level (with a
  settable offset), this can be used to create floating objects.
• Readded the ability to set a custom mapMaxHeight for texture exports in
  Kittopia

ATTENTION:

• This release will break plugins that depend on Kopernicus
• While the old files still work, it is recommended to regenerate your scaled
  space cache, to take advantage of the improved format and caching
• You have to adjust your configs to get scaled space OD working again
• Since this release reduces the amount of dlls that come with Kopernicus, you
  have to delete the Kopernicus folder from GameData before installing. Do
  not overwrite the folder. CKAN users probably have to uninstall and
  reinstall Kopernicus.
