I tried that for OPM, but never saw any shadowing.

Note that there is a maximum of 4 casters. If you went beyond that I don't think it'd work.

What I put into the cfg was

OBJECT
{
body = Sarnus
caster = Ovok
caster = Eeloo
caster = Slate
caster = Tekto
}

But I didn't see any shadows.

@rbray89, I'm working in a fake system to simulate rain with the current Eve version... But if you want new challenges, what about vertical particles with vertical movement to do that? (snow, volcanos, rain, geysers...) A lot of possibilities!

Also, could be doable a new type of layer with the lighting options of a city-ligth layer, to re-create auroras at night sides?

And about clouds... I don't know if this could sound dumb to you, but I'd been thinking in how to enhance the clouds shapes under the actual system...

I don't know if you can understand my point, or if this is even doable. My idea is to do the particle size smaller or bigger (from X to X range of size) depending on the position which the particle occupy at the grid in relation to the 2D map layer and/or detail. (Like in an equalizer?) The closer is the particle to the "visible" border of the main 2-D map and/or detal texture the smaller should be, but as you goes inside the 2-D visible shape the particle goes bigger, creating a more "natural" shape to the eye (less repetitive/tile perception). Also you can expand that system, with "2-D" particles facing the camera and fading to a bigger visible range, to expand the "3-D" particle system and avoid the "gap" between the particle system and the 2D layer.

If this sounds crazy, or just very daring for my small knowledge, just forget it, please...

Proot, your genius never ceases to amaze. Also your diagram skills are quite good too! That's pretty much the same hopes I had with the lightning being brought back. Your bottom alignment idea is fantastic, and would definitely make tiling very hard to see, as well as making upper cloud levels have more height variation. Perhaps tying the cloud scale factor with a height displacement. Once again though my lack of knowledge doesn't help out with how.

How do I go about using this with RSS, and how do I bring up the ingame GUI? In stock KSP the clouds are a bit too thick for my liking, so it would be nice to play around with the settings and change the density (if possible). I'd like to have a nice balance between Ci, Cc and Cs clouds instead of almost exclusively Cu/Sc clouds.

It's an issue with EVE and is known by the maker.

so is there a fix for it soon?

[jsimmons]

Quick question. Does the terrain manager work?

I you could follow the OP and provide screenshots and logs that would help.

Nope. This was put on hold once squad added the shader tags I needed.

This look nice 

Can i play with Real solar system for ksp 1.1? because Real solar system visual enchantment is still 1.0.5

@Pilotmaster yes you can. Follow this link here:

and see the post from @Rhavoreth. He provides a somewhat working solution. But please do read everything carefully and don't start complaining if it doesn't work.

Layer2D properties in menu work? I changed it but looks like nothing happened...

Dust storms on Duna?

Are they any known mods incompatible with this mod? Clouds are not appearing for me, city lights are though, I have a lot of mods installed. When I only have Eve and scatterer installed it works just fine. I have try deletiing the and reinstalling it and still doesnt work.

[Blacks]

playing & testing eve + scatterer i end to make this 3 cloud layer:

hope video to not get fry

If you want them back try if this works for you:

I managed to get the Duna duststorms back and also add the old Kerbin atmosphere layers.

Just extract this zip into the GameData folder:

Oh, thought you wanted them. So if you made some for yourself, how about offering your Dune Duststorms to the community instead of just posting pics about it?

I planned on it when I make them as good looking as I can

Migrating all the shadows and lighting to a universal system. 

After that I'm not sure.

I have a suggestion I so been wanting for a long time. Procedural 2D cloud maps generated based on turbulent flow. Also make the clouds travel in an elliptical path like real clouds do with trade winds (via hadley cells.)

Oh, justing wait here. good work done this.

[gamerscircle]

I have two questions:

1.) I have been downloading EVE via
https://github.com/rbray89/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements/raw/master/AnyCPU-EVE.zip
vs
https://github.com/rbray89/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements/releases/tag/EVE-1.1-1

2.) If I install EVE and I get no clouds or anything, did I miss a setup step?

   AnyCPU-EVE-Release.zip = \GameData\EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements
   AnyCPU-Configs-Release.zip = \GameData\BoulderCo

and their respective sub-folders and files.

Thanks for the mod and the support.

This is something I'd really like to do, but it is a VERY difficult problem. I've yet to see a planet in ANY game or simulator that makes nice procedural clouds. They seem to use perlin noise exclusively.

Send logs. Seriously, do people not even just glance at the OP?
