problemecium Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Can't wait to take a look! Let me know if there is anything you'd find useful in the GUI or features you want in the shaders. I'm improving the GUI for the next release along with a few shader tweaks that will allow for more options.As a matter of fact, there is!I presume you had good reasons to change the color format from decimals to integer values, but this ended up taking away the ability to make noctilucent clouds, auroras, and self-illuminated Sun layers. I presume the CityLights system is meant to replace that functionality, in which case it'd be nice if we could specify altitudes and colors for "city" lights.Do you intend to put sandstorms on Duna and Eve and lightning storms (and auroras) on all atmospheric bodies (Kerbin, Eve, Jool, Duna and Laythe)?Unfortunately, not at this time. This is mainly due to the limitations I pointed out above - I managed to dupe the CityLightsManager into making glowy bits on Eve's and Jool's "surfaces", but auroras being up in the air, the city lights feature wouldn't be suitable. It's for a similar reason that I didn't edit the Sun either :\Regarding sandstorms I just didn't feel like it ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco223 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi everyone! I really like this mod and i would like to find some high res textures for planets and moons to use with this mod but i cant find any? Maybe some of you guys know where to find textures or is there a mod that improves appearence for celestial bodies without atmosphere? And im getting fps drop to about 15-20fps with this mod, im just using some part mods and texture replacer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't it be done with this version of EVE?I'd gladly convert the .cfg files from that pack to this version, but I confess I don't quite understand how to do it...

Rybec Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Whoa, working shadows.........could you make other bodies cast them as well, for visible eclipses? It'd be really nice to finally have a visual indicator for being in the shadow of a body other than the one you're orbiting. No more wondering why your EC is suddenly running out, if Kerbin's blocking your sun on the Mun (or vice versa) you'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosun Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 After tooling around with it, I'm only able to get the old version of EVE working in 1.05. The newer version gets me the pink ground bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixely Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 EVE rebooting, scatterer just released an update and now Astronomer is showing his face again... I couldn't have picked a better time to get back into KSP! Exciting times with 1.1 around the corner and these wizards getting back to the frontlines to make KSP something worth lookin at! Couldn't thank all you modders enough for all the awesome work you are doing in your spare time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FancyMouse Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 [imgur]Z9pQ5[/imgur] This doesn't look right to me - two problems. So first the attached scenario is my lander is flying back to Kerbin. First problem is the ringing artifact on the first image. Second is if you compare the first and second picture, the cloud isn't scaling according to Kerbin planet (because I'm approaching) - rather it's like an image with a clipping window enlarging (see the cloud from the right side - instead of cloud becomes bigger, I instead seeing more clouds as if the picture expands its edge). I'm running most recent version from CKAN, 1:EVE-1.05-1, texture high, KSP ver 1.0.5.1028. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazing Sun Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ok, I had the previous version installed, and it worked just fine, but when I installed this version, it won't work at all. Am I doing something wrong? I have both the EVE and BoulderCo folders installed in the GameData folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If problems persist: delete the named folder in your gamedata and copy the ones from the update again - perhaps you mixed some old / new files by accident.

problemecium Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 [quote name='jlcarneiro']Anyway, thanks!

Before, colors were decimal values from 0 to 1, and setting a color to higher than 1 would make the cloud layer glow in the dark. Now, colors are integers from 0 to 255, and setting anything above 255 simply makes the cloud layer fail to appear. With any luck, rbray has a new method in mind ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also pull the version from [url]https://github.com/rbray89/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements/raw/master/x86-EVE-Release.zip[/url] to get the new GUI updates and fixes.

Poodmund Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm trying to use the same cloud texture at different offsets on different cloud layers but whatever values I put into the offset variables, the texture does not seem to get affected. I looked through other example configs and they all seem to use 0,0,0. How is the Offset feature supposed to be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
