I reinstalled scatterer, loaded the game, played a bit with a black sky, then exited. I didn't notice before, but the ocean seems to be missing, or, at the very least, it's surface seems to be absent. Kind of neat, if I was seeing this on some other planet. See? The log file itself is over 40 MB. How can I make its contents available for someone to view? I can't just cut-n-paste it here, and I don't know of any services that I could upload it to for others to view.

SSgt Baloo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I deleted the old log, reloaded all the game files, and then installed only scatterer and its one (sun flare) dependency and restarted the game. It's a much smaller file, now: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3L-ggK-tvpPQkFVVTJaTVJ5NVE 15 minutes ago, Avera9eJoe said: You can use Dropbox or google drive Thanks!

Alshain Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 1 hour ago, Galileo said: what Alshain was disliking was the amount of post processing on Kerbin causing it to look like the atmosphere was very very thick. so i cut the post processing down to 0.0 in orbit and changed the sky orbit alpha from 1 to 0.6 and made changes all the way to the ground to blend well together. I hope that answers the question. The new shaders don't bother me one bit. Here is a comparison pic: I'm glad you understood what I was saying. I felt like I was just saying "It looks wrong" but I didn't know how to describe it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i remember correctly, i made the same changes like the ones here and people complained about it not having enough atmosphere. vOv no win situation. I like the way this looks though and thats all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess people complained they were too thick so rbray removed them down to almost none, of course my question is why would you install a cloud mod and not expect clouds?

The fastest way to find out is not examining log files, it's installing it without CKAN and seeing if the problem goes away. If it does, you have your answer without spending hours searching a cryptic log, if not, then searching the log might be warranted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the file from Spacedock. Are there any dependencies I need to download before I unload this into Gamedata and start the game again?

SSgt Baloo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Well, it looks like I can install scatterer without any of the sunflare mods that CKAN won't let me install without. The sky is blue once more. Do I even need any of the sunflare mods? Also (nonsequitor) it's amazing to see how quickly the game loads when you have almost no mods installed*. * I usually have a lot of 'em.

HafCoJoe Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Alrighty. @blackrack I got comparison images between Scatterer 0.255 and 0.256. - Here is the full album for more pictures, but to be simple, open up these images in separate tabs and just swap between them: Terminator in 0.255 New terminator in 0.256 Face in 0.255 New face in 0.256 The effects in 0.256 are more washed out? That's the description that comes to my mind. It lost color and is more blue in this version. It's surprising how easy it is to see that difference :/ - Most apparent on the face when there isn't as much scattering.

Alshain Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 When you guys say sun flare, are you talking about solar flares or lens flares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Kerman Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) 5 hours ago, Galileo said: Both look good but one is just a little more real i guess i could say Define "real", because I see a lot of people equating "realism" with how Earth would look, but Kerbin is not Earth. It's smaller and its atmosphere is way thinner. So why should we expect it to look like Earth? Scatterer is meant to recreate how light behaves in atmosphere, so if its working realistically by properly modeling the way light behaves in Kerbin's atmosphere we should not expect it to look exactly like Earth. And also, when posting NASA photos or any space photos you should make sure it hasn't been overly processed Edited October 20, 2016 by Drew Kerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandest Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 @blackrack For Kerbin, I tried several things with the settings both in game and with the tool. With the tool I think we can't do something better than what has already been done, but with the settings menu in game I can see that we can do more. Let me explain, there is this setting: "experimentalAtmoScale", it would be very nice if this setting was inside the config point (with altitude), this would allow us to cheat with the Kerbin scale in specific situations. My question is: Is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's what Task Manager says anyway. Now all I need is a new Graphics Card so I can run this over 20FPS. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
