ERONA HAS NOW TAKEN OVER DEVELOPMENT, AND TSG HAS LEFT! A NEW THREAD MAY BE STARTED, AND ONCE MADE, WILL BE LINKED HERE.

Hello one and all, welcome to the Better Atmospheres release page.

Better Atmospheres is mainly an EVE pack, however, it uses other things such as RSS and Texture replacer. Created by the config work of Thesonicgalaxy, the wonderful art by Erona, and some of the stuff EVE comes with.

What does this mod do?

Well my friend, it uses EVE, RSS, Texture replacer, and Custom Asteroids to improve the Kerbol System.

Atmospheres from space

Using EVE, atmosphere's from space are much more noticable and have quite an effect on the land below.

Atmospheres from ground

Atmospheres from the ground are also improved, no more white on kerbin!

New Kerbin clouds

Kerbin now has less clouds than before, and high altitude wispy ones. Enjoy sunny days and flying through more than just one patch of clouds.

Ring Systems with asteroids

Jool has been equiped with a Ring System, as well as trackable asteroids to land and possibly set up bases on.

Aurora Borealis

Kerbin, Eve, Jool, and Laythe all have their own unique aurora. Eve being a Dark Blue. Kerbin being a mix of Green, Blue, and purple. Jool being a mix of Blue and yellow. Finally Laythes being a Dark Green.

I downloaded this version, and everything is in place except laythe has only the highest cloud layer, tenuous atmospheres for rest of jool moons and eeloo isnt there.

Edit: jk i got everything except the lower laythe clouds to work

So no more texture replacer required?

Nope.

was there supposed to be a config file for the city night textures?

Nope.

Nice job! Duna and Eve's atmosphere looks particularly nice :)

Still want me to work on the rss config and volumetrics?

Yep.

what about bop?

Nope.

Okay seriously though, Bop's surface is too messed up. Trying to add anything to it won't work.

BTW, just wanted to inform you that you misspelled NathanKell's and pingopete's name :P

WELL LOOK IT WAS 5AM AND I'M SORRY ;.;

It seems a little glitchy; there is a layer of dark that acts like a cloud or atmosphere layer.

Quoting myself

Is the cloud shadow layer suppose to hover above the ground? It looks as if it is hovering 30m AGL.

It's hard to get it to appear on the ground without that hovering look.

iirc rbray is looking to implement a system that wraps the 2D layers to the PQS (terrain) for stuff like city textures, but would also be able to eradicate this problem too :)

Not quite true; see the source for asmi's ECLSS here: https://bitbucket.org/asmi/ksp/src/0...ns/?at=default

asmi has working multithreading for running resource checks for on-rails craft.

"PQSMeshWrapper? How did I miss this?! How well does it work? I implemented my own version using the PQS surface height functionality, but it doesn't seem to work that well (hence all the terrain clipping). This could have MAJOR implications for things like cities if it really works."

I am not a programmer, but I had an interesting thought to add some form of city to the planet- bear with me, I am not a programmer...

Maybe a city that remained at a fixed altitude, spanning the planet, like another surface of the planet, and then the texture over that.... Like for a planet embedded in kerbin...

New release looking spiffy! I'[m still experimenting with different volumetric tex's, these worked quite nicely, although a little bit too transparent. A few tweaks probably need to the texture scale and some obvious atmosphere cut off at high alt but really look great on virtually every front sonic! :D
