[KSP 1.6.1] Stock Visual Enhancements [v1.4.1] [20 March 2019]

[Xaryen 2]

Tried running SVE 1.2.5.0 /w scatterer 0.0320b on a new ksp 1.3.0 install and it causes Scatterer to always use Laythe config, regradless of the celestial body. This gives a planets a blue tint and breaks the terminator/sunset on Kerbin. Scatterer on its own works fine.

Can't figure out what could be causing this, it seems it rewrites the Laythe config file in the Scatterer folder.

The terminator is like that by design on Kerbin.Scatterer using the laythe cfg is normal and isn't actually being used. It does not give planets a blue tint. It's just a bug in scatterer. Scatterer doesn't play nice with module manager, and that's a product of that. Looks like that answers your questions.

I see, thanks for the answer. So I guess that it's no longer a thing with the orange/sunset colored clouds around the terminator(like the picture in the OP and default scatterer+EVE)? I remembered that from the last time I played ksp, which was admittedly more than a few months ago.

 

PS: This is what I meant by the blue tint, I suppose that is also by design then.

Its still a thing, but with the latest Scatterer, some sacrifices had to be made to make SVEs clouds work properly. The orange sunset is visible from the surface, but its so subtle in scaled space its practically unnoticeable. The scatterer dev knows of the issues but he is taking a break from KSP, and hasnt implemented a fix yet.  I can fix it from my side, but only doing it in a way i find unattractive, so i will just wait for the fix from scatterer.

UPDATE

Nothing major. Just made the Sun textures PNG because OpenGL systems did not like the sun in DDS format for whatever reason.

Links in the OP.

FWIW, I play KSP in Linux and macOS, both of which use OpenGL, and I've never had any problems with the sun (or any other) texture being DDS.  I installed the update, but the sun looks the same as it did before.

(Is it something related to Kopernicus maybe?  I think I've read that Kopernicus has problems with DDS planet textures on OpenGL systems.  I don't use Kopernicus currently, though I've used it in the past and didn't notice any texture problems.)

good to hear, it can also (unsightly) be fixed. I hope you will do, if Scatterer dev. don't fix it untill the end of 2017   cause I miss the colors :-)

It was popular belief a while ago that DDS textures and OpenGL systems didn't play nice, but I helped put that to rest a little while back by taking a page out of RSS' book. See here:

Star textures are different than normal bodies I assume, and for some reason, some people on OpenGl systems still have a hard time when they are in DDS format. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I rerember a long time ago that there were big snow storms on the poles of kerbin, and now there is no storm effect on poles. I thought it looked really nice, could someone please explain why they were removed?

scatterer was causing them to turn black. They will not return until scatterer updates.

Thanks

Is this mod compatible with Mac yet?

I have installed this with ExtraSolar, and it now makes Kerbin have no clouds. Same with the other bodies. Im using Lo-Res

*edit* Accidently installed the 1.2.2 EVE mod so thats what caused it

Does Stock Visual Enhancements has dust in low gravity planets?

In this video Minmus and Moho have dust.But my game doesn't look like Hazardish's after I install SVE.How could I get those visual enhancements?

So I've been getting this a lot lately on Minmus and Tylo. Any ideas as to what could be causing it??? I can see straight through the planet. Seems to go away when I get far away.

The that’s an old version of SVE. The dust was removed a few versions ago due to an issue with cloud color and scatterer.

That looks like the "floating tiles" problem, more commonly seen on Kerbin, where it's caused by having Scatterer's fancy water effects enabled.  It seems likely that Scatterer is to blame for floating tiles on other planets too, even if they don't actually have water.  (The problem probably isn't with the water itself, but with however Scatterer hooks itself into the terrain rendering when the setting is enabled.)

So what version is it? And can I make some changes to SVE 1.26  to get those dust?

Appears to be working fine in 1.3.1.

[Galileo 7,893]

UPDATE FOR KSP v1.3.1

• No major changes. Just updated the version file.

Download and install instructions in the OP.

CKAN will update when it updates. I can't make it work any faster.

The glow? 

Just don’t install scatterer?

Its not possible to disable the atmosphere effects and keep the other features. It has never been an option.

ok thx for the info, will check with my older ksp see if i am missing something, anyway thx

There's a problem on CKAN. Stock Visual Enhancements is on CKAN, but EVE isn't.
