Matchlight Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Sublime Text has failed me to save my new Duna sandstorm config, i doubt it would work anyway... i'll try with BBedit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he says no, it'd save you a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchlight Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 yeah i just updated the thread, I sent the message a while ago. Apparently i'm free to continue, and since i'm only using the textures, and have permission to use Berlin's SVE configs i would be fine anyway.

CanIAskAQuestion1928 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) For some reason there is the wormhole texture but it is unused. Can you add the womhole next update? Also the cloud textures are blocky. And there is .DS_Store file everywhere. And atmospheres from map view looks weird.

Matchlight Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 i'll try and work on this for the next update, thanks for telling me! yeah, at the moment i'm trying to implement the wormhole although the sun doesn't seem to want to be accepting it, but i do have another idea...

ISE Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Very glad to see this mod awakening from its hibernation. Great work @Matchlight! One question, if I have stock size RSS would some of these textures work on RSS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchlight Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) they might not, i've not tried it out myself, but since the name of the body's change i would assume it wouldn't work. and since all of the body's would have changes, it would look completely messed up anyway... i could try and release a compatible version but it would take me a month or so if you were to go into the planet configs for stock size RSS and change the names to what they were originally it would work but look very strange...

I assume you were referring to me, in which case the answer is Stock Visual Terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchlight Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Here's an idea! using Kopernicus i can add another body around Jool, using the wormhole texture, i'll see how it looks... although it would have to be a small gas giant because you can't land on it! i think it would be best to put it on a highly eccentric orbit to make it difficult to get too. Tell me what you think about this, it may be a little difficult but i would be happy to give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterYoda Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Can I let's say change clouds to different resolution somehow, like in older of astronomer's visual pack? Becouse on my "gaming" laptop it's very laggy... It's completly excrements for today standards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchlight Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 yeah, soon i'll add resolution options, i'm playing on an imac from 2013 and let me tell you.... 5fps is no fun! i'll see what i can do i'm sure you can do this yourself by going into Stock Visual Enhancements -> EVE -> Textures and if you download the original AVP int V2 and just use the low res textures, drag them into the Textures folder and overwrite anything, make sure you have all images otherwise it won't work... well i guess you don't need the wormhole png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchlight Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 the fact that some people (including me) are experiencing dreadful frame rate is due to the fact that there is volumetric clouds pre-implemented when i was using Galileo's code for a good base. Turning off these volumetric clouds would get rid of a few issues... like the weird sparkly Kerbin, it would increase the framerate significantly! and there would be no blocky clouds which is a good thing... although there is one down side; and thats the fact that the clouds would be paper thin, kinda like Sentar's or Sarnus' rings from Sentar expansion and OPM. Speaking of OPM, does anyone remember the old clouds you could get which worked with astronomer's Visuals? I can once again, give this a reboot using Galileo's Code!

Matchlight Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 This is nothing to do with the mod, but it 'quote on quote' will give me better performance... I'v started to assemble parts to build my new PC, i'v found a deal where i can get two Geforce GTX 1080's for the slightly less money than one GeForce GTX 1080. When i say 'slightly less' I mean $20 less; which deal do you think i should go with? one 1080 or two 1070's... and i'm also gonna use the Intel i7-6800k CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmput Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's been so long since I've used Astronomers; is this meant to work alongside SVE or as an alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andem Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Is it compatible with Pood's OPMVO? I ask because it tends to break things that have clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on a port at the moment, but it is an alternative... Since i didn't know how to code my self, I asked the creator of SVE whether or not i could use some o fhis code; he said yes so i basically wrote the new configs using common sense... enjoy! 1 hour ago, Andem said: Is it compatible with Pood's OPMVO?

Its working for me! and if not i'll release a version which does... and then i'm going to fix the clouds that already were compatible with AVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshwoo70 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Oh cool! Would suggest contacting @MrMeeb for stuff that he worked on for AVP. Also wrong thread I guess? Add-on development.
