I'm not a Mac user, but here is a link on how to take a screenshot. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201361 You will need to upload your screenshot to a cloud service like Photobucket or Google Drive, or Onedrive and attach a link to the uploaded screenshot.

Greatness101 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @Voodoo8648 What mods do you typically use? I saw some interesting icons on the side of your tutorial video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Guys... The problem is the typical thing where DDS format planet textures fail (because Mac/Linux...). The textures all need to be saved with different settings/technique, or a Mac-friendly version of KSS needs to be made with PNG versions of the textures. And it'll be murder for StarCrusher to have to maintain the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeOfMaar Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Sorry. That does not exist. Evidently, no Mac user has tried KSS until now so this problem wasn't expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeOfMaar Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @Swithmario On behalf of the main dev, sorry about that. Now that you came around, I'm sure compatibility will come. @Benjamin Kerman Sorry, no. There's a lot more to converting an image than changing its file extension. There's a lot more inside a DDS file than inside a PNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kidding, that usually ends up doing BadThingsTM I'm not counting out loading it up in Paint.net and saving it as a png... I don't accually know if this will work. Worth a shot?

Galileo Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Ok, let me put this dds thing to bed now... The issue isn't how dds textures are saved or a mod incompatibility, or anything wrong with Macs or Linux machines. Also, plenty of Mac users have used this, but @StarCrusher96 just recently converted a lot of the textures to dds. The issue with this is that he has those textures inside of a "PluginData" folder. This is typically done to reduce the initial load time of KSP, but OpenGL systems don't like this. What needs to be done, if KSS is to use dds format from now on, is to move those textures out of the "PluginData" folders and into any other folder not named PluginData. So something like "KSS_Textures" would work. Also all of the directories would need to be changed in the cfgs. This will fix the yellow, moire effect, but with 80+ celestial bodies, and textures for all of them, you are looking at potentially a very long initial load time each time you start up KSP. One other thing you can do is convert all the textures to PNG and change the directories accordingly, but this will use a ton more ram than dds textures will use. so pick your poison... Now, back to sleep for me. Edited May 5, 2017 by Galileo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this because it would be impossible for the mod to work if you just renamed the folder and didn't make the directory changes in the cfgs.

Macs are fine and no worse than PC's. Opinions may vary though. Let's not be a troll, and try to start a Mac vs PC war, especially if one does not fully understand the capabilities of a Mac compared to a PC. It's how this mod is structured that causes the issue that @Swithmario was having. Edited May 5, 2017 by Galileo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 0.6 you'll have this problem (I'll add a fix / alternate version with the next 0,6 patch). But meanwhile you can use the 0.5 version, which should work fine.

Kukler Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hello, I've encountered a problem. I don't have solar flares. Every single star I see is just a small bright dot in the sky. These dots become bigger when I get closer but still I don't get any flares. I can provide screenshots and logs(if you tell me how to). Thanks in advance.
