    [WIP][1.9.x-1.12.x] Scatterer-atmospheric scattering (0.0838 - 14/08/2022) Scattering improvements, in-game atmo generation and multi-sun support

    @Saabstory, look for a file with a name along the lines of planetList.cfg in the mod. In it should be a list of all the bodies with scatterer enabled, with a bunch of values for various variables. One of them should be mainSunCelestialBody; set it to the name of the star you want to light it. They are likely currently set to Sun.

    Hopefully future versions properly support multiple stars.

    Thanks, that did it! Now to finish writing my MM configs for all the planet packs I have installed...

    Btw, for anyone who uses Scatterer with Galactic Neighborhood, Sun/Kerbol is renamed to StockSun for the sake of mainSunCelestialBody.

    Apologies if this has already been answered. I did a quick search and wasn't able to turn up anything useful:

    Is there a way to change the light source that determines which side of a body's atmosphere is lit? I'm playing with GPP, OPM, and Galactic Neighborhood. Starting out, Kerbin's atmospheric lighting seems to be almost 180 degrees out of phase with the planets position around Kerbol/Sun:

    Setting different targets for solar panels on the same spacecraft seems to indicate that the atmospheric lighting source is the Galactic Core, instead of Kerbol/Sun:

    If I remove Scatterer and just use the EVE configs that GPP comes with, atmospheric lighting looks normal again, but nowhere near as pretty :(:

    Mods installed during screenshots were only what was required to run GPP, OPM, and Galactic Neighborhood (with or without Scatterer):

    I don't have any of these issues without Galactic Neighborhood installed, so that makes me think it's due to the change in global position for Kerbol/Sun. Can I specify the Scatterer light source for each planet? Non-atmo planets are not affected by this glitch/interaction.

    Thanks for any help!

    ETA: Wow, first post after 5 years!
