[KSP 1.6.1] Stock Visual Enhancements [v1.4.1] [20 March 2019]
Astronomer replied to Galileo's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
As much as I wish to keep the wishes of Nhawks17, I must clear up the fact that I have never stated that Galileo has stolen from me or has committed fraud against me. I understand the perspective you are coming from, but to quote myself here - I have made it very clear that it is not only my pack I am talking about: "a lot of assets originate from my visual pack, as well as other packs (please correct me if I'm wrong)". I could recognize the rest of the individual assets, but I did not know that they were all from Nhawks17's pack. And secondly I have made it much clearer that this is not a direct attack of person, but of the case at hand: "I merely wish to state my views on art and how I think should evolve over time.", "I respect you, as well as your decision to use these assets as they fall under the license which I had included in my pack. However my upcoming release will fall under a different license.", "If you are wondering if I am ever going to hold you up for this, my answer is no", etc. Once again: to say that I have an issue with Galileo is to get as far from truth as Saganly possible. -
[KSP 1.6.1] Stock Visual Enhancements [v1.4.1] [20 March 2019]
Astronomer replied to Galileo's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I see what you're saying. If a mod needs to edit my post so be it. I don't see what a stale 2009 meme has to do with anything I said. Nevertheless, for evidence look below. I did not want to do this, but from the best of my ability, this is the list of files which originate in some way from my pack: Joolalto.dds - literally the same as altostratus.png texture with some opacity differences. This one stood out to me the most because it is the least modified from the one that's in my pack. From the best I can tell, AuroraDetail.dds has the same detail textures as my detailAurora.png. duststorms.dds Hard to say if it was made from scratch or is just extremely similar to storm.png from an older release of AVP. The kerbin textures look similar, but I believe Nhawks made these (Low.dds and duna1.png). I'm very jealous to say the least. Before I forget, I just want to point out that I admire the Storm.dds idea. Similar but very weak case with Mars2.dds and kerbin1.png. atmo.dds is identical to detaileve1.png. I am assuming it does the same thing, but since this image is basically a white square I can only wonder who came up with this idea first. Not that I personally care, about this one but there it is. Some other images look similar, but this is clearly because we have derived them the same way. Is this the case for the rest of the images? I doubt it, but it's been too long at this point for me to remember exactly how I made each texture. Majority are nothing like the textures I have, and once again I'm jealous. But these few irrefutable cases made me ask questions and raise positive discussion. If you already cannot tell, coming back I am currently overwhelmed by nostalgia and desire to create. I sincerely apologize for bringing more attention than warranted over this. If anyone has answers or smosh videos please post them because now that I've laid out the evidence, I am as equally lost as the rest of you wonderful people following this story on as to what happened here. -

1. Astronomer's Visual Pack vs Smosh? Who cares - roughly the same age. 2. I would love to, but I don't want to turn this into a bigger incident than it actually is. Was this good practice on his part? No. Do I have evidence? Yes. Is it fair to at least let him say his piece first? Yes. Could this all be one big misunderstanding? Possibly. Do I have OCD? Maybe. EDIT: Thanks for bringing that to my attention, first time I saw that thread. -
[KSP 1.6.1] Stock Visual Enhancements [v1.4.1] [20 March 2019]
Astronomer replied to Galileo's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Dear Galileo, none of what I am about to say is satire. I merely wish to state my views on art and how I think should evolve over time. You are a gentleman and a scholar. I admire the work that you've done and only wish I could do the things you do. I have been away from the forums for almost 2 years, but that's not to say that my passion for KSP has waned a single day (I'll explain all the stale smelly 2009 memes). I have never stopped playing. Today, I am happy to say that not only do I have more time in my life, but also inspiration from people like yourself to continue to work on the old forgotten cancer that AVP is and bring it back to its former glory. My pack started off as just a few files I wanted to change, simply because at the time no one else did. All of the files which I include in my pack I made from scratch with my hand. To create some files I did use textures I found online to help start off the creation of my textures. While few of those have only undergone several iterations of formatting to work with the game, the vast majority came from countless hours of work for every single texture. I have invested my blood, sweat, and tears to make the pack my own, and to say the least, I hereby depose that I have never used a single texture from any other visual pack. However, there is this one small thing that I wish to address that has come to my attention. When I was using your pack some aspects felt familiar. Very familiar. Upon closer inspection, I quickly found out that a lot of assets originate from my visual pack, as well as other packs (please correct me if I'm wrong) that have existed for around 2 years. "This gives your stock KSP a bit of eye candy! It is no longer a port of RVE as I am creating all of the textures myself" This is simply not true. Well, the first statement is true, but you forgot to mention just how many textures you have taken from my pack. I will believe you if you say you have done minor edits to my assets, but for that to make it fair to say that you've created all of these textures while providing 0 credit and asking people to donate is downright contemptuous. I believe your plan is to make your own versions of all the textures, which if you do I have no more words to say besides that I respect you, as well as your decision to use these assets as they fall under the license which I had included in my pack. However my upcoming release will fall under a different license. I just wanted to ensure there won't be any unnecessary demurrer over an issue of such prima facie nature. I have no intention of telling you what to do, but I really rather not™ let this go on unnoticed. If you are wondering if I am ever going to hold you up for this, my answer is no: That's what stale memes are for. On that note, all the programming work you've done is really out there on a whole different level, and on behalf of the KSP community I must express just how awesome it is to be alive at such a time of our technological achievement and your artistic feat! Let me know if you need advice on how I made my textures. Keep me posted. -

[1.1.2][1-1-2] May 13-2016 EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements
Astronomer replied to rbray89's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
Is there any way to force the layer to maintain brightness like in the old versions? I can't seem to get the aurora to work no matter how I tug the values - it's all dark on the night side. What used to happen was if I set "minimumLight" to -0.4 it would do the trick and light up the sphere very evenly. Right now it doesn't seem to do anything? It's an essential feature for auroras to work. rbray if you see this, please see what you can do man! -

Changing the detaildark to dds fixed the second issue. The first issue is still present, although the less technical annoyance is the smooth falloff as seen on the left here. EDIT: I'll look at the source code and see if I can do anything to fix this. -

I am experiencing an odd issue with detaillight.jpg. Does anyone know if there is a way to work around this? Will try using .tga. The textures pop in and out of existence. And is detaildark.tga supposed to behave this way? Thank you! -

I have a question about the GUI. Is there no way to open it anymore? It would save a lot of time. -

Fallout 4 Bethesda....Bethesda Never Changes

My favorite part was where I got my PipBoy edition and it was awesome. [quote name='Randazzo']I think this sums up exploring a "dungeon" in Fallout 4 quite amusingly: [url]http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/UniformRealImperialeagle.gif[/url][/QUOTE] xDDDDDDDDD -

Granted, you are now rocketed better... with a rocket launcher given to you by an extremist terrorist group which they gave you under the condition that you destroy the Kerbal Space Center. I wish your wishes came true.

After realizing there is no way of contacting NASA and that I'm not Matt Damon, I spend 5 days gathering water onto my plane. On day 6 I take off and set it to autopilot at low altitude to look for signs of intelligence as I conserve my energy by lieing down, crying, in a fetal position, drinking my own tears and ..... At 9:11 AM on day 37 my plane encounters a large city on a half island, still flying at a low altitude. I stand up for the first time in weeks with sheer joy only to gargle and drown in my own tears, falling into a pud- The user below me is in the trade center of that city. My plane didn't update it's maps app so it's headed straight for it. Terrified, as you look through your pockets the only item you happen to find on hand is a lighter, used condom, 1337 metric tons of thermite, 69 gallons of gas,
