themaster401 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Urgh, it seems saving the png textures of Astronomer in .dds inflates the file size by many megabytes, especially for 8k textures... If someone could suggest a better way of converting these textures to .dds I would greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size isn't important in game as they don't cache on the ram. An 8k texture in dds should be around 42.6 mb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaster401 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 New texture update coming out. AVP Textures v1.2 (2k, 4k, 8k) - 99% of textures are now in .dds format, which gobbles up much less RAM. The download size is smaller too! - New wispy cloud particle texture for future use.

MHEM Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Hello, I recently just installed this addon off of spacedock, and I did what I would usually do with addons, just put them in the game data folder and just run the game, but there's a slight problem. One of the files in the textures for the addon named joolLayers2.png crashes the game for some reason. I have no idea why. I have the output log right here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bctv3q20be2vjj5/output_log.txt?dl=0 And also here's an image of the crash.

FurbyTheSwede Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hello! For someone that is pretty new to all this and would be really thankfull for all the help i can get i have a few questions. I dragged the stuff included in the SpaceDock download to the GameData forlder just like all my other mods (made a backup before all this though) and everything seems to work fine, i knew about the oceanshaders bug since before so no suprise there, but when i get in game as suspected the game looks gorgeous, BUT it runs at 35 or less FPS, i was expecting a FPS loss ofc but not this huge, i have lost well over a hundred fps since the install. I have no idea if i run some settings one would need a supercomputer for (not changed any of the defaults) or if it's my specs or whatever. If anyone knows how to increase FPS or if someone can just tell me if my computer is unable to run most of it please let me know, i'll paste specs below here. Regards, Axel.

Specs: GPU: GTX1070 8GB CPU: i7 4790k 4,0GHz RAM: 16GB Try the GitHub download instead, it's been updated and more optimized than SpaceDock. I might drop SpaceDock soon in fact, it's pretty restrictive on the mod's modularity and fidelity.

Ah, that's likely to be the layer of purple haze that makes Kerbin looks prettier from orbit. It shouldn't render that close to the ground, though. Took note of it, I'll see if I can fix it.

TheKurgan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) I don't know why I am having trouble with this mod... maybe having an extended brain fart this morning... Right now I use SVE, with EVE, SVT, Scatterer, Planet Shine, Distant Object Enhancement and Texture Replacer (replaced). I want to try this mod, it looks awesome! I downloaded the "New Download" from the OP, and the 8k Textures. I have made a copy of my install for testing and such... what else do I need, and what do I have to remove from my install? Thanks, and sorry... I'm not normally such a newb... my blood sugar may be high Edited June 30, 2017 by TheKurgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need EVE, ModuleManager, AVP-Textures, and Kopernicus at base for the mod to function, as well as scatterer, PlanetShine, DistantObjectEnhancement and others for a better rxperience.

TheKurgan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Ok so I get rid of SVE and SVT. grab the couple of dependencies I am missing... KPSRC, KVE, and OPMclouds (I USE OPM). Thanks for the truly rapid reply!! OPM Clouds looks really old... Ok... still confused, the list of dependencies on github list OPMclouds and KSPRC.. one of which has not been updated since 1.1.2... are they still good?

OPM clouds should be ok, but if it's not, it should be noted that this mod doesn't claim to work with them.

No offence to the mod's creator, but the OP and the github page should be edited to be more clear for nubs like me lol I would love to try this mod, it looks fantastic! I would love to compare it to SVE and SVT, but I am now more unsure of the dependencies then when I started. EDIT: I figured it out... wow, I should get more sleep. if you click on the newest release on github (and actually read), it gives you an updated list of dependencies. Still, the OP and the project page on github may need a little edit. Edited June 30, 2017 by TheKurgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaster401 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Sorry for the confusion. The credits aren't necessarily what this mod runs on, but rather every piece that assisted in the history of it. The switch from KVE to EVE was made quite a while ago. OPMclouds, however, only works with the deprecated (but useful on lower-end systems) version of AVP:U&R, which runs on KVE. This lower-end, older version of AVP is available here (what I now call AVP:E) Edited June 30, 2017 by themaster401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the description of the "new" install method and the textures being on a github page and then not including a link to that page so we have to do an easter egg hunt through the forum to find the link to the textures? Then there is the list of "dependencies" half of which are not ported to 1.3.0 yet!!!! How the hell can you call a package ready for 1.3.0 when there are multiple packages it "depends" on that are not working with 1.3.0 yet??? I appreciate the work on this mod, when it works it looks wonderful, but having it depend on so many other mods that you cannot control or that are not even ported to 1.3.0 makes this mod really risky.

Starfire70 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Not sure what is happening. Everything was hunky dory on 3.2.0. When I installed 3.2.1, I lost the volumetric clouds plus the ligtning effects. When I installed 3.2.2, I lost all clouds. I'm going to take a closer look at the files and configs, but any help or suggestions appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain it to me then? @ctbram The dependencies on the github page, and the wording "Featuring the mods:" on the opening post really threw me off too, but when I clicked on the LATEST RELEASE on github, and read the dependencies (which have up to date links), everything was smooth from there. Hope that helps. 3 hours ago, ctbram said: I appreciate the work on this mod, when it works it looks wonderful, but having it depend on so many other mods that you cannot control or that are not even ported to 1.3.0 makes this mod really risky.
