EVE and Scatterer not working

[chrischi3]

So, ive installed EVE and Scatterer today, because well, graphics. For some reason however, EVE wont work, as it insists im lacking a config file, and Scatterer, while it does work, turns anything remotely atmospheric into a monochrome mesh thats not very nice to look at. Does anyone know how to resolve those problems?

Uhm...did you install a config though?

Which KSP version do you run?

EVE and scatterer are not updated to 1.9.1 yet and both are having issues with the latest version of KSP. If you want to use both, you have to downgrade to a KSP version which is supported by both mods, for example 1.8.1.

Btw a log file is always appreciated when you look for help, especially after encountering a mod issue. If you don't know where the log files are located, take a look at this thread:

Yeah, i did that by now. I was just naive enough to assume that a mod would come with all the files it needs in order to work rather than have the file that makes it work be its own submod.

There are quite a few benefits by shipping EVE without a default configuration though. It's easier to handle in the automatic install procedure of CKAN, other mod creators who want to utilize EVE don't have to take care of the default files, KSP doesn't have't have to load the default textures which are probably not even used anymore because you want to use a different mod for clouds, etc. , install instructions become more clear ("install this and this" instead of "install this and this but remove the default stuff) and there are probably a even more reasons.
