And .jpg is imho not made to be a texture file. And I think the main2.png is obsolete, because it's the same file as main.png !?

The lightning texture in the original AVP really was that blue, so I decided to stick with it. I'll up the whiteness in the bugfix today.

Dortmunder Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I'm not sure if there's a known fix for this, but hopefully someone can help. I'm getting what looks like a glitchy atmosphere sometimes. It's basically a big planet sized sphere that flickers a lot. I've noticed it a bunch around Minmus lately. Someone mentioned enabling E.V.E. integration in a previous post, tried that, didn't fix. Looked back, same as this post, 2nd picture. Doesn't look like he got a reply/fix.

Because of how the visual enhancement scene is at the moment, the file structure of the mod changes slightly almost every update. I recommend wiping out the entirety of AVP before installing the latest update, it may fix some issues. Anyways, that issue seems like it's coming from scatterer. Update your scatterer to the 1.3 version. As for other issues, especially with the file structure, I understand a couple of features need fixing. Unfortunately I did not have the time to do that today, so hopefully I'll get around to it tomorrow.

Most of you may have noticed the lack of citylights in the past updates. I am thoroughly confused with how EVE handles CityLights, because even after perfectly aligning lights with a kerbin map: It looks like this ingame: With the citylights diving into the ocean. This is because the map of kerbin is a dds texture and is flipped when it is loaded into the game. flip your city lights texture vertically and save it, then see in game.

brendanizmoarawesome Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Hi, I am having troubles getting the mod installed on a fresh install of KSP 1.3. I have figured out that I need to get the latest release on GitHub and have found the updated list of dependencies. I installed all the dependencies into made gamedata folder and made sure the game could run. Then I installed the AVP 3.4 files and it worked, sort of. The first issue I noticed is that when viewing the mun from Kerbin only half of it is rendered with the mods visuals. Next was that Laythe's night side was bright and had a blue hue to all of it, also Moho non longer had the dust hemisphere in front of it's day side. When launching from Kerbin, after climbing above the clouds, there is a clear divide between atmosphere and space that isn't very pleasing. Last, there are no city lights on Kerbin's night side. I followed the limited instructions given as best I could. I might have messed up in the installation process but all I was told to do was download and install the dependencies and then AVP 3.4 and after following that I'm having these issues. I would love to use this visual mod. I think it brings the best visuals to KSP, but I'm frustrated that even after digging to find out where to get the latest files, and following the install instructions, the pack still is not fully working as expected. Hopefully there's a simple fix for this, can't wait to use the mod. p.s. The clouds look very melted and liquid. Like wet water paint, I dont know if this is how it's suppose to be but it doesn't look right from what I've seen of other's installs. I would give screen shots but I cant figure out how to get them on this post. I apologize.

I'll up the whiteness in the bugfix today. I can't believe people nitpick over the color, I'm just plain amazed that it's THERE. Anyways, my two cents, to my eyes, the real thing IS blue tinged. Remember (whomever suggested the color change), it's not going to look like lighthing from the ground, it's going to be THROUGH cloud cover. Here's an example video from the ISS... Updated from 3.40 to 3.41, KSP 1.2.2 64bit on Windows 10. Can you confirm that city lights at the KSC and covering the mountain in the background (under the 1x) is not how this should be?

I don't find it too obtrusive if I don't go looking for it.

CityLights mostly look odd because of the detailtexture, which I grabbed from stock EVE configs. When I have time, I'll fix that up. They look natural from orbit nonetheless.

ctbram Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Is anyone else getting the bug where the sky turns like a negative image? Also getting an old bug where you get a ghosted circular silhouette of the planet when in map mode. Is there a solution to resolve this?

I was getting both of these with a prior version of AVP (version 3.1.3E) on KSP 1.3 (latest release on Steam). After a lot of trial and error, I found the issue was related to using 8K cloud textures. When I dropped down to 4K textures, the problem disappeared completely. I just installed the latest version this morning and used the 4K textures and haven't seen the issue. I tried the 8K textures again and it crashed my computer hard. I have a fairly beefy rig (dual EVGA 980 TI's SLI'd, 64 GB RAM, etc.), but am running 5760x1080, so I think the 8K textures were just too much.

themaster401 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Quickfix for some issues is now out on GitHub. It's still AVP.v.3.41.zip, but the files have been altered in the download slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta546 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Hey I am a little confused as to what to install here. Do I get the download from GitHub or spacedock? there is a massive difference in file size and above you mentioned a fix in the GitHub version. Also I cant find the different texture packs you mention in the OP...am I just missing something? haha Edit: okay so are the KSPRC textures instead of the AVP textures then? This mod looks so awesome but I have never been so confused trying to install a mod :-D I think you really need a detailed install instructions in the OP because this is super confusing, Edit 2: I am guessing we just download EVE, and not the EVE configs as well? Edit 3: lol Right I think I have everything installed correctly now haha. Just loading KSP which takes like 20 mins with all my mods. So fingers crossed I have done it right :-P Right it all seems to be working fine now :-D Really looks amazing so even though it was a pain getting confused it was worth it :-) Edited July 12, 2017 by beta546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simog Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Always spectacular... especially when the launches take place at dawn or sunset... nice also the Gayser effect on Minmus Loading Tip: Home sweet home, so far away but so close The only thing, the city that envelops the KSC I find it Unrealistic. Personally, I prefer the pre-3.4 version in this sense. Another thing, I find very suggestive the green "fog" on Minmus that I see in the trailer in the first post. Would it be possible to add it? Thanks. Edited July 12, 2017 by Simog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
