blackrack Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Woohoo! Awesome. Can't wait to use it. Now I have an added incentive to finish my Eve mission.Looks like you may have to wait a bit though as my internet is being unbelievably slow.

[url]http://imgur.com/a/dtDTw[/url][/QUOTE] Not sure why It looks like that on the dark side but it does in the current version, also it's probably too bright because the extinction shader is bugged on Duna. If you think it's too bright lower the exposure or try to generate a new config with the config tool (not an easy task tbh).

[url]http://imgur.com/a/6j1ck[/url][/QUOTE] Beautiful, btw if you need to test a new atmo, you don't need to reload the game, go back to space center view, change the atmo files and then go back to your ship (make sure you go to space center view before changing the config as quitting to space center view automatically saves your settings which overrides the .cfg file).

Poodmund Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Ah, good to know! :wink: I'm having a little trouble getting the balance point right between keeping a low exposure in orbital view to keep the effect subtle which retaining a halo ring when viewing the eclipse from behind the planet. I'll get there! Thanks a million for this, makes it look sooo much better. It took me a while to realise that you had to have an active vessel within Scatterer's activate range before the effects would load in. Is there a way to force it to activate on the currently focused body in Map Mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just unload planets that are far away because the memory usage of precomputed scattering tables loaded into rendertextures is quite high. If you are trying to optimize the memory usage you could probably load some low res textures or drop the textures on far away planets (still you'd have to benchmark it for different resolutions to see if there is much to gain). For lowering GPU usage I wouldn't really know, I'm not really up to date with EVE-overhaul and the different shaders you have except for the clouds.

I was thinking that for a map, it looks too nice :) It should be like a screen you would see at NASA depicting orbits. Not super detailed, and certainly no clouds or atmosphere.

Well, the first thing that came to my mind was a high-tech/holographic planet and orbit view with the background being the operations room/control center àla XCOM [IMG]http://static-3.nexusmods.com/15/mods/151/images/482-1-1400737231.jpg[/IMG] Probably not a good idea though as the room is quite detailed :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd imagine for planets never visited/scanned the map view should just look like an empty sphere or a low-res one or something, and once you scan them you get the continents/topography view and it looks more like this [URL="http://www.ufopaedia.org/images/e/e5/Control.png"]http://www.ufopaedia.org/images/e/e5/Control.png[/URL].
