Darkway Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I could not resist, and installed 1.0 KSP today at last (some entertainment is needed sometimes, isnt it? ). Ofc, the first thing I did was to test this fantastic mod! Quickly stitched together a few aerodynamic parts, and set sail into the sunset! http://imgur.com/a/zLQ6m#0Extremely nice, and promising! Thank you for your time and work, blackrack! EDIT: The install is totally free of graphical mods, KSP is run with all graphical settings at max, changed nothing else (not opengl mode, changed nothing in the nvidia control panel). I have ATM.EDIT2: Added some description to the images.EDIT3: Wouldn't it be technically more feasible to just draw 1-2 layers of blue spheres around Kerbin, like other atmo mods do? Like, one to represent the lower, and one to represent the higher atmosphere. When the camera passes a certain height (be4 the Moire patterns start to kick in), the scatterer effect could fade out, while the blue sphere(s) simultaneously fade in. That way, theres no need to fight with the depth buffer, or anything else, and Moire patterns could be eliminated. Just an idea, I'm not familiar with the toolset Unity provides at all. - - - Updated - - Edited May 9, 2015 by Darkway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morberis Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Oh wow, removing this frees up 800mb of ram on my system. As good as it looks, it doesn`t look 800mb good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuu Lightwing Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 This is an awesome mod, I just having random visual glitches and crashes sometimes. I'm pretty sure everybody has reported that already, so, I'll just say - keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelthunder Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I keep getting black lines/circles. Any idea how to stop that? Im running in openGL to save on ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkway Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I keep getting black lines/circles. Any idea how to stop that? Im running in openGL to save on ram./Dark lines can be easily removed by setting "Render quality" in the grapihics settings to "Fastest" in OpenGL mode. Moire effects, and other gliches are common under all modes now, given the mod is in an experimental stage.

As good as it looks, it doesn`t look 800mb good.Yeah I also experience a huge memory spike and it seems to cause a memory leak (or at the very least exacerbates one of the smaller, existing ones.)

Valerian Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I can confirm a comparability issue with PlanetShine. :LWhat's the issue exactly? With Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, or OpenGL? What is your OS and what are your KSP visual settings? Can you post screenshots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post screenshots?Oh haha! I misspelled compatibility. I'll post pictures when I next can. I'm away from my PC currently. The issue is that whenever you load up a save game, the KSC main screen starts zoomed in on the SPH and no buildings can be clicked on. I was running with -force-OpenGL so that may have been an issue. I haven't tested plain. I'm running full resolution on Windows 8.1. I'll post pictures when I next can.

Are they from EVE? If so how do you get them to show when looking upwards. For me I can only see them and smoke when the ground is behind it.

I haven't released it yet because it brought some other issues with the sun. I've also trimmed the memory usage from 800mb to about 200-400, there still seems to be a small memory leak somewhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EladDv Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 maybe try and find the children of the sun object. one of them should be a corona but i have no idea how to differentiate it other then searching for the name (but squad knows that isnt going to be helpful with their labels and weird naming schemes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripod27 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Awesome mod but I'm having a few issuesI can't seem to get the alt-f11 settings to stick (just want post processing alpha to be 60 instead of 78) and changing them every time I lauch the game is a bit annoying, is there a file I can edit to have 60 be the default for that setting instead of 78?Also the clouds mod I have looks like it's being covered up by your effect, at least from below. I can see the clouds from above and from orbit, but from below they're completely invisible except for when backdropped by mountains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HafCoJoe Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) UPDATE: It appears as though I cannot reproduce the bug. I may have corrupted the save (I've had the same glitch happen after a corrupt save), or if I'm forgetting which KSP directory the glitch happened on, I could have had an incompatibility issue with Hyperedit (Which also glitches the same way), which I know is incompatible. Also, it appears as though added -force-opengl to the back of a KSP.exe shortcut no longer is working for me. It boots up frozen and says it cannot switch resolutions . Anyhoo, it looks as though PlanetShine is off. It may have been Hyperedit or a save corruption.EDIT: Blackrack I have a suggestion that might fix the circles and flickering from orbit. If it works. What if you made the scatterer haze fade away as you leave the atmosphere, and at the same time use the new atmosphere coloring from EVE to make it look as though the haze is still present? That might solve issues with scaled space too as EVE is visible in scaled space. Is this possible? Edited May 10, 2015 by Avera9eJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Blackrack, there is a doubt that I have since some time ago. May I ask for what is used the black texture?Yeah but I want to toggle it or fade it in an and out ingame. The black texture is just used for when I disable the sunglare that scatterer uses, I think it's obvious since they have the same dimensions. It was supposed to be just a quick fix.What do you want to do exactly with the coronas?Toggle it on/off, I changed a few things to get the clouds to display but now the coronas draw on top of the sky no matter what. Controlling it would also mean I can have eclipses working in scatterer (they don't work right now).maybe try and find the children of the sun object. one of them should be a corona but i have no idea how to differentiate it other then searching for the name (but squad knows that isnt going to be helpful with their labels and weird naming schemes)I had the same idea today but have been putting it off because it's tedious.Awesome mod but I'm having a few issuesI can't seem to get the alt-f11 settings to stick (just want post processing alpha to be 60 instead of 78) and changing them every time I lauch the game is a bit annoying, is there a file I can edit to have 60 be the default for that setting instead of 78?Also the clouds mod I have looks like it's being covered up by your effect, at least from below.

I guess I could just fade the haze out after a certain altitude. What does EVE's haze look like from orbit anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
