I don't understand. But JNSQ is not configured to use Parallax. You should not be using it with JNSQ.

The parallax developer will not write a config for the JNSQ. I posted the issue here, so that the developer of the JNSQ can make the necessary changes in configs.

We have no current plans to do that. If somebody else wants to write and release Parallax configs for JNSQ, they are welcome to do so.

You could try this, but it's not compatible with Parallax 2 yet, as far as I know.

Is this bright green terrain expected with JNSQ? I looked at other images of JNSQ Kerbal and their terrain is a different shade of green. It's a fresh install using KSP v1.12.3.

Edit: After reading previous posts in this thread reference:

Quote
@OhioBob: If anyone has had an issue with the surfaces of celestial bodies in JNSQ turning bright colors, there is a solution. These colors were used for debugging back when JNSQ was first developed and are meant to be turned off. But a recent change to Kopernicus has switched the colors back on as a means to fix something else. So by fixing one problem, it created another. The remedy is to remove the colors by installing the below patch. Just copy the following into a plain text file, save it with a .cfg extension, and place the file anywhere inside your KSP's GameData folder.

Posting this here for general comment, suggestions, and anyone looking for something similar in the future. I'm completely enthralled with KSP again and am using JNSQ as my base. I'm getting excellent results running the current version of Parallax and even with Sigma Dimensions rescaling to 6.4x. I'm also using PSA's Toast mod for tilting the entire system to Earth-like values. Because of that I've relocated the KSC to a nice little piece of real estate at 28.58N latitude. I upscaled the system to 6.4x using SigmaDimensions. I only went to 6.4x since I simply cannot play without BDB, and their BlueSmurff patch only is effective to 6.4x.

My KSC relocation MM patch.

It can run without one, however there are a few issues.

New planets added by JNSQ will have no scatter. All surface scatter is used uniformly across working planets due to how Parallax uses biome names in its blacklists. This is most noticeable on Kerbin where there is no under-sea plant life and icebergs are in all seas.

I have also seen a few texture issues and floating objects, mainly on steep on slopes.

Hmm... didn't realize I was 'missing' things. I was so giddy just seeing the grass, flowers, and trees surrounding KSC. When I did a landing on the Mun the new presumably Parallax scatter looked fantastic. But yes, obviously a dedicated JNSQ Parallax patch would be best.

OhioBob · September 20, 2022

Just to be clear, Parallax is not supported by JNSQ. If it works with JNSQ, that's probably just because JNSQ uses the same planet names as stock KSP. Parallax is apparently applying its stock configs and textures to JNSQ. But those configs and textures are made for the stock bodies, not for JNSQ. So even though Parallax may at first appear to be working, I suspect there may be cases where things are not working, or where things don't fit JNSQ either in scale or style. If anyone does run into issues, do not expect to get support from the JNSQ team. Our official position is... don't use Parallax with JNSQ.

Yes. This is entirely accurate.

Allow me to clarify what I am saying;

- Is Parallax intended to be run with JNSQ? No, not in the slightest.

- Do either author intend for you to use both mods? No.

- Do they run the way the authors intended? No.

- Can you do it anyways? Yes.

- Would it work significantly better with a community patch? Absolutely.

JNSQ is in no way designed to run with Parallax. Any compatibility is simply down to the fact that JNSQ uses default planet names for may bodies. Any new planets added by JNSQ will not be changed by running Parallax. Modified stock planets will have tessellation and ground scatter, however they will not function as intended. For a proper experience your best bet is to wait until a community patch is created.

It works surprisingly well to be honest.

The only real issue I've noticed is the swarms of icebergs all over the place.

The undersea features aren't something I've even looked for as of yet.

The scatter and the rather wonderful JNSQ Mun look like they were made to work together it's that good.

Finally landed and returned from Eve. That was quite a doozy to design for.

Out of curiosity, anyone else who landed and returned from JNSQ Eve mind sharing pics of their crafts?

Transfer Station and 4 vehicles docked: a rover, a miner, and two Eve's one-off landers: unmanned and manned with the same design:

Spoiler

Unmanned, first stage is just 2 propellers, that able to throw on ~100m/s to 15km,
second stage is LFO, and argon engines + reactors on the 3rd stage.

the same design is used for the crewed vehicle, inside opened service bay there is small heat shields, that helps with the stability (large drag)

Just updated to 1.12.3, with a clean install. I only have the latest versions of Kopernicus and JNSQ and their dependencies and Breaking Ground DLC installed. Kerbin is a disgusting neon green and I don't know why, I've tried reinstalling both mods and the game itself and nothing is fixing it. It worked fine in 1.11.1 earlier today.

Because only Galileo can edit the opening post, and he's not around anymore. I would if I could, but I can't.

Because the current JNSQ release predates the problem. If and when there is a JNSQ update, the problem will be fixed.

Dunbaratu · October 7, 2022

Does anyone else get the problem (only happens to me in JNSQ thus posting here) that the game thinks their comms are out of range for transmitting science, even though the ability to control the vessel is fine, the signal widget in the upper left shows a perfectly fine strong signal, and they're able to control the craft with it? It's only science transmission that believes there's no comms connection. Everything else agrees that there are comms connections.

And yes my DSN mulitplier is set to 4.01 and my antenna range multiplier is set to 1.01 as the instructions say (or as close as possible to what the instructions say - I have it at 1.01 instead of 1.0 because of the slider widget on the difficulty screen not letting me type a number directly and that's the closest it can get. I did also try editing the persistent.sfs file to force it to be exactly 1 just to see if that fixed it and it didn't.

For now I'm enabling the "cheat" of turning off comms when I transmit, then turning them back on. But I'd rather not have to do that if anyone knows how I can fix this problem.

EDIT: I just discovered that, weirdly enough, even though this probe cannot transmit its OWN science back home, other probes CAN use it as a relay through which they transmit *their* science back home. Weird. (Perhaps it has something to do with the vessel being packed and on rails when the focus is on some other vessel using it as a relay - i.e. the transmission works when this probe is on rails but not when it's fully loaded into focus.)
