Trust me, I want to update Constellations just as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoJeb21 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures Several scientists have done a more in-depth analysis of Tau Ceti, and it turns out there are four likely rocky planets below 4 ME. They orbit every 20.0, 49.3, 160.0, and 642.0 days. The final two are very similar (yet smaller) than the original Tau Ceti e and f. In addition, planets b through d were debunked and turned out to be two smaller planets. https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2017/08/09/Scientists-find-four-Earth-like-exoplanets-orbiting-closest-sun-like-star/7221502283228/ http://astrobiology.com/2017/08/two-possible-planets-in-tau-cetis-habitable-zone.html https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02051 The equilibrium temperatures of the four planets are 593, 439, 297, and 187 Kelvin.

Andi K. Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Sorry, but I'm going to take a very long break from KSP and KSP modding. The last thing I'll do is update Extrasolar so it works with the latest version of scatterer, before I "go dark" and stop posting stuff on the forums. Don't worry, this doesn't mean my mods are dead! I'll be back in maybe 3 months or so. If you are still interested is my mods, look out for a mod called "Through the Padomaic" for Skyrim. It is my largest modding project to date, and I won't be able to manage it as well as my mods on KSP. Hope you all understand!

logan2611 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hey so I know RSS isn't updated to 1.3(and it probably won't for a really long time) but I am using Constellations and Earth is always full bright? Is there a way to fix this in the meantime? https://imgur.com/EFwjV0E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tychochallenge Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Ive been trying to get the sunflares for this mod to work, but no matter what i try, all the stars still look identical and are all the same stock color. Has anyone else had this issue? I made sure everything was in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tychochallenge Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) This is my gamedata folder, yeah i know, a ton of mods. Do you see anything that might conflict with Constellations? I did some digging, and I noticed that in the config files for Alpha Centauri A and Proxima Centauri, the emitColor, rimColor, etc numbers were all the same. Is that how it's supposed to be?

Just tried using a fresh install with just RSS and Constellations (along w/ required mods) along with Kopernicus and scatterer, in the same 1.2.2 configuration.

Its a little difficult to explain in screenshots, basically all the stars look exactly the same (same appearance as stock Kerbol), only the size is different. I'm starting to have a suspicion that it could be something to do with both scatterer and RSSVE, so i'll do some more testing with that. Anyway, heres the output log for my fresh install. https://www.dropbox.com/preview/output_log.txt?role=personal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, heres the output log for my fresh install. https://www.dropbox.com/preview/output_log.txt?role=personal Okay well it does look like it is loading the sunflares by the look of your output log. This is what I am suspecting: The sunflares glitch out in the tracking station and map view when they are a far distance from your location. This is a known issue that (to my knowledge) cannot be fixed. Using hyperedit, put yourself in orbit around Proxima Centauri, and see if you can see the sunflare. Do that for a couple more stars. You should be able to see the scatterer sunflare for each of them. Question: does the Sun have a scatterer sunflare or does it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychochallenge Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I tried hyperediting a ship into a few star's orbits, but still the same result. Only difference is the Helix nebula where the star is a slight shade of blue, but no nebula. However, the solar system's sun does have scatterer sunflare.

Okay try doing this: delete both the CVO and RSSVE folders. Then, install RSSVE first and then reinstall the visuals from Constellations. Could you send a screenshot of two different stars? It's hard to tell exactly what your problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There dont seem to be any scatterer effects on the exoplanets, except for the solar system's planets, and the stock planets in Trappist-1. I also noticed a new bug: when in map mode, Kerbin's day and night sides seems to switch back and forth very rapidly between its orientation to Trappist-1 and the Sun. When the day side faces the Sun, all scatterer effects are present, but when the day side switches to facing Trappist-1, the scatterer effects disappear instantly. I checked using the scatterer in-game UI, and it rapidly switched from planet loaded = true (with all the values) to planet loaded = false, and back again.

Okay well clearly you have installed scatterer and/or the visuals for Constellations. Please make sure you are using version 0.300 of Scatterer, and read the instructions over to make sure you installed it correctly. This is not a problem with the mod, it's a problem with you incorrectly installing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I can't thank you enough for your dedication in helping me all this time. I just have 1 last thing that needs fixing: as you can see in the pic, the flare and the actual star don't seem to align with each other. However, I think i read something on the scatterer forum page about flare sizes in RSS, so I'll take a look at that. Thanks again! https://imgur.com/G1jJ6pf Edit: The bug seems to be purely specific to the tracking station, so nothing to worry about Edited November 27, 2017 by tychochallenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm well aware of that bug. I think because the stars are so far away, the sunflares just kind of freak out when you go to the tracking station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
