[1.12] Real Solar System


Theysen

Recommended Posts

So I'm coming back after a bit of a break and upgrading everything to 1.8.1, and I am happy to say that RSS has installed with the new version of Kopernicus just fine (and a big thanks to both sets of devs, too). I've given up on RSSVE as it seems to be defunct (but thanks to Phineas Freak for all the effort he has put into keeping it going as long as he has -- and for having a username that always harkens me back to a different time).

My question is is there anything that people are using to add clouds to the sky or water effects that works well with RSS? EVE and or scatterer? I've used RSSVE for so long I am out of touch with everything else.

Can anyone help?

Started with vanilla KSP 1.8.1 (no DLCs), installed Kopernicus, RSS, 2048 Tex, KSCSwitcher and RSSDateTime.

Get stuck in loading screen, so I checked the log:

So Ceres seems to be the first planet body to be loaded and there is no Biomes.dds (I checked the Texture .zip, there are only .pngs for all the bodies). I think that triggers the exception 10 lines later?

I saw another warning, that the game cannot find the preset 'high', so I removed kopernicus, started KSP and set texture from high to default, but to no avail.

I tried with the other res textures, same problem. Even though the release notes of the textures say:

Quote

Convert all png textures to DXT5

Any suggestion how to fix that?

Hello, all the old DDS images need to be converted.

the changes in 1.8.1, can be seen here (https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/1.8)

"DXT3 DDS formatted textures are not supported by Unity or KSP any more. You must convert to DXT5. "

for 1.8.1 Convert Textures:
Donloaded: https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTex/releases
sample: K:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\RSS-Textures>texconv.exe -f DXT5 *.dds -y

sample: K:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\RSS-Textures\PluginData>texconv.exe -f DXT5 *.dds -y

With that Real Solar System run very well in 1.8.1!

 

But yes installing via CKAN all is fine because new version is already pointing to the new version of the images v18

In 1.8.1, I just use Scatterer, EVE, Planetshine, DistantObjectEnhancement, and RVE64k. They all seem to run fine together but only with RSS version 16.2. Also, ANY mod that is not just parts from 1.7.x or previous will break kopernicus 1.8.1 so be mindful of that. RVE 64k is currently only retextured Earth.

Thanks Alvi. Do you use any updated Scatter configs? I note the suggested changes at the start of the Scatterer thread are listed as "outdated."

 

Edit to add: Looks like EVE is the one I'm going to have to hack together some custom configs for.

Another Edit: Annnd I didn't see you said 16.2, and I've got 16.4 RSS installed. I'll look into rolling back a version, if necessary.

The only change I believe between 16.2 and 16.4 RSS is that annoying bump in the runway, but its practically a non-issue (for me at least, depends on how much you like aviation) Also i didn't require any custom configs, i just installed all of the 1.8.1 versions of everything besides RSS and RVE 64k. I would also highly recommend KS3P, theres a beta for 1.8 on Github for it. When complete it should look great. Here's some Images from my WIP Mir station, docked with Space Shuttle Atlantis.c17wI2T.png

I'm looking for a suggestion for any mods OTHER than Realism Overhaul which change the stock engines to real world specs compatible with Real Solar System but without all the other stuff that RO does... Plus right now RO does not work with 8.1 and all the rest of my mods are standardized on 8.1.

 

Worst case I guess I can write scripts manually to update each engine, but I'm hoping someone has already done something like this.

You might be looking for SMURFF. It's what I use.

Just as a FYI RO does work with 1.8.1. See RaiderNick's post here:

@Alvi can I please ask what textures you are running? Thank you in advance!

Hey, sorry for replying late just saw your quote now. I'm running RVE64k on KSP 1.8.1 with all of its recommended mods (Scatterer, EVE, KS3P, Planetshine, Distant Object Enhancement) along with the usual RSS 8k textures as a a base. Be notified that RVE 64k may not work on 1.8 with RSS 16.4, but your mileage may vary. It works 100% fine in 1.8 with RSS 16.2, however. Currently it only re-textures Earth, so if you want other planets i'd consider messing with Vanadins 16k textures and adjusting the configs so it doesn't mess with RVE64k, as they're not designed to work together. RVE 64k is also in Beta currently, and sometimes the city lights textures glitch out. If this happens i'd recommend time-warping a bit or quick-loading. Any other issues can be chalked up to it being Beta. 

Another thing you may consider if you plan on running these textures, particularly the 64k ones, is that if your vessel is above 150-200 parts, your FPS will almost certainly be closer to 30 than 60. If that doesn't bother you, go all in. I run with a GTX 980 TI and my FPS is usually in the 70-110 range during normal rocket launches and Space Shuttle launches (75 parts), but my International Space Station (110+ parts) gets around 50-70 FPS, less when the Space Shuttle is docked. Here's some links;

Hey! No need to apologize at all! Many thanks for the extensive reply, I appreciate it.

I was considering giving those 16k textures a try but the talk about the modified RSSVE configs scared me away. Still debating my 1.8.1 RSS build. Again many thanks for the input.

Good day,

I installed this pack with relative dependences (Kopernicus and Module Manager for 1.8.1.,  KSCSwitcher and RSSDate last update). The only problem I have is that sunlight is really weak, even on Mercury brightness is really low. I've tried to install RSSVE but problem remain. If I delete RSS folder sunlight come back to normality so I tried te redownload and reinstall RSS but nothing, that sunlight still remain low. There is a way to fix it?

Thank you

I have the same issue. I finally gave up on trying to get EVE working and uninstalled it, but the sunlight issue is with just RSS I agree.

Noted the same thing, but just cranked up the ambient light setting until it looked okay again.

Are there any Scatterer configs for RSS? I am aware that RSSVE exists but I would like only the Scatterer part for performance reasons. I tried searching several topics but only found a config for Earth only.

Delete everything from the RSSVE Folder except the scatterer configs.

Just installed... that looks like it is exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks

You can also try https://spacedock.info/mod/1446/Jimbodiah's Simple RSS patch

Trouble wit SMURFF is that BDB (and possibly other mods) which I also play with, specifically disables SMURFF compatibility, so you end up with Saturn/Gemini/etc replicas that are still not capable of reaching orbit

I built an RSS mod called Less Real Than Real(ism), which is basically a simplified fork of RP-1 for stock and stock-alike parts.

I found a minor bug. It's nothing game breaking, but I assume its not intended behavior. There's a region of the Atlantic Ocean where the biome reads as "Mountains" for science collection. I found this at Latitude 26 degrees, 33 minutes North and Longitude 67 degrees, 16 minutes West.

I installed RSS through CKAN earlier today, and am running KSP version 1.8.1

Hello @Theysen,

First of all congratulations about the work done in Real Solar System! :)

 

I developed something that the community desired a possibility to have "Real Solar System" with the Stock System as well at the same time, where Kerbol orbit Sun.

In order to publish the "Real Solar System with Stock", I need to push 2 changes in "Real Solar System" in order to allow it in a compatible way, with or without "Real Solar System with Stock".

- Basically what this add-on does, it's to move all planets from Kerbol System from center, and add them after Pluto, instead of remove all System like in "Real Solar System" Mod.

 

About dependencies:

"Real Solar System with Stock" depends on "Real Solar System"

 

What do think about this Idea?

Fix to Support "Real Solar System with Stock": https://www.dropbox.com/s/wizizeqd2xim8oi/fix-RealSolarSystem.zip?dl=0

"Real Solar System with Stock": https://www.dropbox.com/s/gsb41bj3rwhudkm/RealSolarSystemWithStock.zip?dl=0 (allow the installation of RSS without delete Kerbol System)
