atomicfart Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm new to modding KSP. Do I put the unzipped folder called TextureReplacer into the Game Data folder inside of KSP local files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that near the KSC, in a flight scene, there are some ugly switching between what appear to be the "distant" KSC mesh and the "near" KSC mesh. Is that what you mean? (an image is worth a thousand words ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msnbcorp Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 No no it's just the classical grass image like on ALL screenshot of the KSC. But honnestly it's probably the worst grass scene ever seen in a video game. I wonder if it's possible to improve it. By adding some variety etc... But as the all system is build with PQS system i think it's difficult. May be with kopernicus and co we can use the fact that KSC is a model and model all the ground by hand around the KSC.

Great way to get them to open up wide, is stick a MK1 pod on a small stage and up about ~5k (some point before they put their helm on) cut throttle and EVA. Turn on jet pack to turn him around as needed. Mouth is wide open all the way down. Edited November 5, 2016 by Vorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, check the first post in this thread for complete install instructions and more valuable information. Generally, this is a good idea for any and every mod you install.

msnbcorp Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Yeah i know. I have tested it already. But it don't really change deeply texture around KSC. The major problem is more that texture around should be draw by hand or overlaped with over texture with transparancy. Just one more layer should bring more realistic feelin--g about ground... But i'm not sure that this is feasable with the PQS system. Could this system be "hacked" to permit the placement of over materials among others ? Or simply the placement or other texture by hand ? Other solution is to use the building placement solution to create a ground as a building around KSC ... Example under unity using procedural texturing : There are a lot of example under Unity. The key point is to permit the placement "by hand" of specific texture on the ground. The texture it self is generated proceduraly before no reel nedd to draw it. You although can generate it in the prog when needed as long as the seed is the same the result should be the same too.

Galenmacil Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Wow. That beats KSP ground texturing! Maybe one day we will get that in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 As good as that looks I seriously doubt that ksp will ever look like that. The ground textures are not why people play this game and are probably the last priority for the developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msnbcorp Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well that's mainly stupid. The first contact with KSP is the KSC and the enjoying to discover over worls is modulated by the beauty of theses world. If it's just some plastic poo ... it"s not very fun... Also a bit of engineering should permit to have these result easily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msnbcorp Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) It doesn't use anything of the gpu u mean. I have seen a lot in the 3D world, in research and co too. I can tell that most methods used by ksp for rendering are mainly very very oldschool. The major solutions choosen to deal with the rendering of very big map are very naive and not the "state of the art" one. Well, happily, with have the modders ^^. But it's sad that the main dev team currently focus AGAIN on very non important thing (localization currently, in a game where the mods will never be trad, it's a strange decision ... ) ...

umeeo Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hello, bad-english-user is here. Can someone help me? I`m trying to change galaxy skyboxes, so i have put .dds files into the /default/ folder. Problem is, in-game debugger says that textures from that path is loaded, but skybox have no any changes.

You can download that particular Skybox here: https://spacedock.info/mod/924/Pood's Calm Nebula Skybox As for the statement @COL.R.Neville has said above, that is incorrect. You can use .dds images for textures in the /Default folder, skybox images being best saved in the DXT1 .dds format. Make sure any smaller, reflection textures go into the /EnvMap folder, these are the ones that cannot be .dds and as such could be .png images.

EnvMap textures must not be DDS format. Use PNG or any other you like. Reveal hidden contents https://github.com/RangeMachine/TextureReplacer/releases/tag/v2.5.1 okay i see now. ive only been putting in my skybox images in the env map folder. and everything has worked fine but you really need a copy in both the default and the envmap folder. the envmap folder holds everything for the reflections right?

Dragonbahn Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Could I get some help with installing this mod? I've dragged and dropped the TextureReplacer file into GameData and added the two texturepacks for a skybox and EVA suits but no changes are noticeable when launching KSP. No crash as if I would've installed it wrong and no change as if it was installed at all. What am I missing? I'm entirely new to installing mods to KSP. Currently installed (and working) mods are planet shine, high performance EVE, KER, final frontier, and distant objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padrone Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 You said "dragged and dropped the TextureReplacer file into Gamedata". You did mean to say you opened the "TextureReplacer.zip" file and then copied the enclosed "TextureReplacer" directory into the GameData directory, right? Assuming that's not the issue, please take a look at where you put the suits. My money is on they're not in the correct folder. Your suit mod folders and/or files should be in "GameData\TextureReplacer\Suits". I don't think you can have more than one Skybox mod. I mean, you're replacing the entire galaxy with a skybox. (Can you live in two galaxies at once? ) I'd try removing one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightstalker101s Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Does anyone have a clue as to what would cause the icon to be missing in game? I understand that you need to be in the Kerbal Space Center screen staring at all of the buildings. The icon is missing for me though and I can't use super cool suits that I have found or the kustomkerbal heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your install. You could also post a picture of your gamedata folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightstalker101s Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Pictures Maybe? I'm not sure how to upload pictures, but hopefully that link works. Also, weirdly the other mods that use texture replacer seem to have an effect, but perhaps I'm just crazy. I have SVE and a few other mods that listed texture replacer as a dependency and the changes they make show up in game. The only thing missing is the kerbal customizer icon.

What version of TR are you using. You need to be using RangeMachine's fork if you aren't. That pic doesn't really show me anything unfortunately. Maybe post your output. log so I can get a better look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightstalker101s Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks so much! I didn't have RangeMachines installed correctly. I copy pasted over the files believing everything important would be replaced (I had realized I downloaded the wrong version a few days ago and then got mad when it wasn't work which led me to post to this forum), but unfortunately I didn't catch that my anti-virus was blocking the .dll file. SO,.. I had the old .dll file with the RangeMachine other files. Thanks again (I used the output.log to find the info and wouldn't have known to do that).
