Do you have Real Solar System?

This mod is only for that mod.

If you have RSS then you must have Kopernicus. 

And yes, without Scatterer and EVE, this mod would not function. That is why they are listed as dependecies.

Please read the OP before asking questions like this.

It answers all of them

yeah i have rss, i also have scatterer and kopernicus, i also have scatterer and eve configured to my rss savefile, all i have to do is replace rssve with evo right?

Another quick update on what's to come in 0.2:

I fixed titan's atmosphere(idk if I've said that thus far) and I am looking into adding low altitude fog to it and to venus.

In other news, this: 

It's based on KSRSSVE's sandstorm configs but color, volume, opacity and a few other variables have been tweaked to make it look better w the new mars maps.

¨First , btw that looks awesome

Update: Good and bad news everyone...

I got fog working on Titan and Venus, and it looks really good in my opinion

 

However in the process I also managed to get earth's land textures working and oh boy are they problematic... I have contacted @pingopeteand am trying to get them fixed, in the meantime they will be disabled (though, I don't think they were enabled to begin with) Here is a link to a gallery with a pair of images showing the current situation.

 

That said, I am using space engine assets now that I have permission to, meaning I might go ahead and make new earth textures, along with 64k clouds. Please don't hold your breath though, as this will not come until Alpha-v0.3 or later which will be a month or so out as I am in university right now . However in the meantime, I will slowly begin adding more and more content to this pack, thank you everyone for your patience  it is thoroughly appreciated, and a huge confidence boost. my plan is to touch up a few more things and release 0.2 in the next week or two... This update will be far more stable and tested than 0.1 btw.

I think Katniss' Cape Canaveral mod is of obligatory use when EVO is installed to avoid getting the city lights texture at night right over the KSC

it works in 1.8.1 for some, my recommendation is to download the latest scatterer and EVE,  along w kopernicus bleeding edge and give it a shot but backup first... 1.10 is officially supported, but it should be back compatible according to some testers

as far as the sunflare, it's a known issue, I need to replace a file (I forgot to fix when renaming the main folder, used rssve as a base)  but for now if you want to you can replace RSSVE with EVO in the EVO/Configs/Scatterer_Configs/Sun/Sunflares/Sunflare.cfg file  as far as the lights are concerned, I need to touch up the map a bit, and I am going to likely have a new city day texture thanks to @Katniss218 soon-ish

PS: sorry for the delayed response, livestreaming on twitch today

 

Any suggestions or ideas you could provide for this issue? the clouds just look odd and city lights are showing up during the day. I have already tried using the trick of pressing left alt+0 then going to the city lights section and hitting apply but that unfortunately didn't help.  At night the city lights do look incredible though.  Here is a screenshot showing what i mean. https://imgur.com/a/bVr4XCg

Which log file did you need to see exactly? I know there is a few and I'm not sure which one you'd need, so maybe you can tell me where that  would be in my KSP directory if you don't mind. Just let me know if there is anything else you need to know about my mod setup. Thanks a bunch in advance. I'd really love to get this working as it really does look pretty incredible

Don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but it looks like the cubemap is overlapping scatterer? Running KSP 1.11 scatterer 0.0723

[ItsJustLuci]

yeah... trying to figure out the root cause of this one.

think I may have found my solution, but it is leading to problems with auroras... I had to set preserve cloud colors to false in scatterer

This looks incredible! Absolutely loving using it so far.

One question, though: I haven't been able to locate the TUFX profile mentioned in the changelogs - was it removed?

1. when it is ready.
2. this problem is likely because you don't have the required mods... review the install instructions and make sure you have kopernicus expansion continueder

I had to do that to make it work on my install. Setting the aurora's transparency to a higher number in the cloud config file fixed the invisible auroras for me, though.

the auroras in my working 0.2 install aren't invisible, they're black.... I have them disabled bc it just looks bad

Double check. it only works on kopernicus bleeding edge btw (again, read the install guide for more details) so make sure you have that too. only planets officially supported as of right now are mars and the moon.

Bug:

Titan's atmosphere is just a THIC white line.

I think that’s due to a typo in Titan’s EVO scatterer config, referencing RSSVE instead of EVO. Found that myself a while ago and fixed it, with the correction it looks great.
