Hi,

This mod seems fantastic, but as indicated on first page it was designed for KSP 1.4.2.

What about compatibility against KSP 1.4.3 (for anybody here having tested it as is in 1.4.3) ?

Thanks in advance.

Works fine for me in 1.4.3

There's no difference in how it works, or reason not to run it in 1.4.3

Enjoy!

I was playing around again with the unity editor and by using the very same version which is used by KSP 1.4 (Unity 2017.1.3p1), I was finally able to use Ambient Occlusion, but it is still pretty hard to write the correct entries into the KS3P config file since the default config does not contain any entries for Ambient Occlusion (and some other features).

So I decided to write an example file, containing all available effects and settings. But I'm pretty bad in reading source code and I got a bit confused by some enumerators (looks like some are different to the enumerators used by unity, i.e. for the sample counts used by Ambient Occlusion). It's still a pretty raw file and I keep working on it, but maybe it helps already some others to add some nice effects to their config.

@The White Guardian Would be nice if you can also take a look at the file and maybe help me a bit with some missing value entries? Settings which require multiple numbers like the ColorMixer are a bit confusing to me.

File is available in my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hcqm2v1pmubqpkf/[WIP]example config.txt?dl=0

@4x4cheesecake I can't look at it rn, but I'll have a look tomorrow.

Furthermore, I'm working on a 'write script' for the unity editor that converts a post-processing profile into a KS3P config file so you don't have to do the writing yourself.

Oh, that will be a nice tool Thought about writing such a tool by myself after figuring out the structure of the config file but to be honest, that would take me a month or more

Hi all! I had installed this mod in its v3.x form during my last campaign and loved it so much. Now after a long period of absence I am preparing to begin a new career. I see that the default config that ships with the mod is a "tech demo" in @The White Guardian's own words. So far in the thread only @Osmium has shared a more refined config despite @The White Guardian's ongoing efforts to make their mod friendly towards distribution of more personalized configurations. In the time since v3 that I haven't played I was expecting to come back to this thread to find many ks3p configs being distributed a la eve and various visual packs.

So, does anyone have anything to share?

PS: Please don't take this in an entitled and demanding way. Its just that I know that I am not at all artistically talented

I'm by no means an expert by I manage to bumble my way into a config that I personally like. Its a fairly mild config that removes everything except for bloom (with lens dirt), FXAA, and Depth of Field. The bloom is pretty tame too.

I use this with a high res skybox and the brightness is fine. I have distant object enhancement with dynamic sky brightness turned on and maximum brightness set to 90%.

The config file might be a bit messy as I never intended to share and was just mucking about.
