Avera9e's Cloud Pack

I was originally planning on keeping this mod in the comments of the
, but I've decided to give it it's own thread after a user suggested it.
:)

This pack is dependent on the Environmental Visual Enhancement Sept. 5th release, which was created by Rbray89. Download it HERE.

- A note about .dds conversions, textures converted to .dds have different transparency properties than .pngs, and thus they do not work with volumetric clouds. All textures that do not not volume have been converted to .dds, but I cannot optimize the rest, sadly ;.;.

I do believe your captions should read "descending" instead of "ascending". :P

Indeed it should... :blush:

Is it some running joke people using 1.0.4 instead of the Actual 1.0.3?

Joke? SQUAD released v1.0.4 Today.

Well... I may or may not have forgotten to remove the particle .png's before uploading so... voila have release v5. :)

- I added surface dust storms to Duna too. If enough people want it I can add surface particle effects to the rest of the planets (like Astronomer's pack does).

Great pack! Looks great although it puts my computer on its knees.

To reduce the load, I tried resizing some textures (those bigger than 2048x1024) to 2048x1024 and suddenly um layer of black clouds appeared! Obviously I have to change the layer parameters (e.g. speed) do match another layer that originally had different resolution (probably to reduce RAM usage, great idea!).

Can you please (I know I've already asked for too much help on PMs) create a "lite pack" like EVE has done? (For now I'll eliminate this layer...)

Another thing, why didn't you convert all textures to .dds?

Oh! Another thing: aren't Duna's sandstoms a bit high? I'd like to simulate Andy Weir's mishappen... ;)

Any word on RSS version?

No RSS version, sadly. :( I might might might do a version for the more popular Kopernicus-tech pack though. If this gains more fame. - As to fame...

I technically have all the skills to make a pack equal in stature to Astronomers pack, but I'm too much in love with KSPRC to take away it's downloads. ;)

I'd like to see a DDS version of this, as well.

Also, are the Dunar auroras like those on Kerbin and Earth? Or are they more like Mars--only one at a time, very faint, but covering a large part of the hemisphere?

The sad thing is that volumetric clouds doesn't work when you convert to .dds. It messes with transparency and causes the plugin to place volumetric clouds everywhere or in long strips. I compressed all the images that don't use volume though (I.E. the aurora and shadow textures). I would do more if I could. ;.;

All the planets us the same aurora texture and it's kind of a mix of both. The pictures give the best description :)
