HafCoJoe Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 8 minutes ago, THX-1138 said: Hello Avera9eJoe, Understood but here is an idea. Could you change the existing KSPRC "citylights" tiles to be of a "darker" color for day time so it can appear as streets? I am no digital artist to know how to technically pull it off but think of it being a "photographic" negative of the existing KSPRC "citylights" to be "turned on" during day time. If not, no problem since I am happy with the KSPRC city lights in Spectra. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Hm... that is an interesting idea and it would save finding new textures. I might give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightside Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 @THX-1138 @Avera9eJoe I think that the basic Boulder Co has a low-res version of what you describe. The trouble is that although it might look good from 10000 m up, it looks really strange if you fly low or land. really you just need actual cities.

Thanks in advance If you are an experienced programmer, it is possible to create your own version of Kopernicus that will work in 1.9.1, but for the rest of us, the latest version only works with 1.8.1. Either revert to 1.8.1 and use all of Spectra, or stay in 1.9.1 and only use Scatterer and EVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoover2701 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Just wanted to drop by and let you know my KSP has never looked this beautiful before. I've just been to Minmus for the first time in SPECTRA and man, I can almost taste that mint ice cream! Thanks for this great beautification mod! I look forward to visiting the other planets/moons. Still in the beginning of my Kerbalism/Probes Before Crew career game setting up satellite networks and getting used to Kerbalism's features. Here's some screenies: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoover2701 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 OK, here are some more screenshots. As I said I haven't left Kerbin's SOI yet so that's all I have up to now. I should mention that I've installed some other cosmetic mods such as Scatterer, Distant Object Enhancement, Environmental Visual Enhancements, Planet Shine, Pood's Deep Star Skymap, KSPRC City Lights and a more cloudy KerbinMain.dds. I can also recommend TUFX with Zorg's Default Settings for post-processing. Here we go: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said you will lose frames simply because you are adding extra particles and effects. I can't give you an estimate on how many frames you'll lose so your best bet is to install it yourself and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSP is CPU intensive (Physics calculations) while visual packs are GPU intensive (Particles & textures). Packs with more particles are much more laggy than packs without. I optimized Spectra to look as good as I could with as few particles as possible so the lag it causes is much less than most packs Edited June 9, 2020 by Avera9eJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoover2701 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 @Avera9eJoe Finally I found out where I got that Kerbin cloud texture from we were discussing earlier in this thread (the one I use ). It's from the mod Graphics Enhancement Assembly (GEA). I don't know if that information is important to you but I wanted to let you know nonetheless.
