Does it happen at any and all altitudes? Can it happen at say, an orbit of 3000km? hmmmm I didn't tested in a such high orbit but i did test in very low altitude like in a night time flight, but in a couple of hours I'll do a test and take some pictures and I'll post the log. once again thanks for the support and amazing work.

Raptor22 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Now, one thing I don't like is that the water is absolutely pitch-black on the night side. It looks like I'm splashing down in a sea of ink. Perhaps you could bump up the ambient light a slight bit so that we can tell that we're not just sitting atop a black void?

When i open the EVE gui and hit apply without making any changes, the hard terminators go away but the volumetric clouds turn black Then, i hit "Map EVE clouds" in the scatterer gui and everything looks gorgeous! unfortunately, its not persistent and has to be done each time you load the game. maybe this can lead you to another possible solution.

Can you post pics at sunrise/sunset? I would expect something else to be lost if you don't have the hard terminators anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) @blackrack im on it right now. as far as i can tell, everything works. i get the color change at sunset and sunrise, auroras work sun reflection on water looks good that technique fixes every atmospheric body with clouds EDIT: the only thing i see as broken is the terminator color in scaled space. It reverts to the old fade white to black. but the volumetric clouds seem to change perfectly Edited January 12, 2017 by Galileo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the process that I deduced when going through updating OPM-VO. Seemed a little laborious and hacky at the time so I didn't continue doing it... I thought this issue had been identified quite a while back though? Wasn't it a part of the whole shader load-sequence problems?

Like When EVE was first ported over to 1.2 and we had to basically hack our way through editing. Pain in the butt.

So yeah, this technique breaks the 2d clouds which is IMO against the point, i wouldn't exactly call it a "fix", but if you want the want to have the color change on the volumetrics only I can always make it an option.

Agustin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have installed SVE, which comes with Scatterer. My pc has not a very strong GPU, and I was hoping to tweak a bit the configuration of scatterer to be more performance friendly. What do you recomend I change from te main menu or in game settings? (or maybe deleting a file or else.) Also, SVE is what gives could, or is it scatterer? I know hot to change the clouds configs, but I need to do something else because that isn't enough. My frame rate gives me 20 fps, sometimes 15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing you should try is reducing it to just the atmosphere shaders. If that doesn't do the job, reduce the texture resolution in KSP's settings.

Errol Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) @Agustin I would highly recommend completely turning off the volumetric cloud particles for all cloud layers from the EVE menu. They are very performance expensive, and only add to your game experience for a short period of time on the way into space. Also, there is an old trick for getting performance from the game if you decided not to use scatterer's ocean shaders. It involves modifying values in the settings.cfg file for ksp (the one in the root folder, next to the .exe for the game), so make backups and proceed at your own risk. I appologize I cannot find astronomer's original posting of this, but it hails back from the .24 era. Simply replace all the Terrain nodes at the bottom of the .cfg with this: TERRAIN { preset = Default V2 version = 1.2.2 PRESET { name = Low V2 PLANET { name = Kerbin minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = KerbinOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Mun minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Minmus minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 5 } PLANET { name = Bop minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 5 } PLANET { name = Duna minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Eve minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = EveOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Gilly minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 5 } PLANET { name = Ike minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Laythe minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = LaytheOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Moho minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Tylo minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Vall minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Dres minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Pol minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Eeloo minDistance = 4 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } } PRESET { name = Default V2 PLANET { name = Kerbin minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = KerbinOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Mun minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Minmus minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Bop minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Duna minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Eve minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = EveOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Gilly minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Ike minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Laythe minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = LaytheOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Moho minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Tylo minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Vall minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Dres minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Pol minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } PLANET { name = Eeloo minDistance = 6 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 8 } } PRESET { name = High V2 PLANET { name = Kerbin minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 10 } PLANET { name = KerbinOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Mun minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Minmus minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 7 } PLANET { name = Bop minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Duna minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Eve minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 10 } PLANET { name = EveOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Gilly minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 7 } PLANET { name = Ike minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 7 } PLANET { name = Laythe minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 10 } PLANET { name = LaytheOcean minDistance = 3 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 6 } PLANET { name = Moho minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Tylo minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Vall minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Dres minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Pol minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } PLANET { name = Eeloo minDistance = 8 minSubdivision = 1 maxSubdivision = 9 } } } Edited January 13, 2017 by Errol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agustin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you but i love the water, and I don,t think that,s what,s killing my framerates. INdeed the clouds are the most expensive I think, but I,ve managed to lower the density by changing from 4 to 2 the second number next to size and area in yhe layerVolume tag. THat gives me like 10 more fps, and I still have pretty decent clouds. I also have no loss when adding mire visibleRange. Also, tetures in game settings don,t have an impact on fps, what really does though are terrain textures on main menu settings, but I have it at low already. I thought Maybe you guys could give me an idea of what scatterer does besides the oceanShaders which I love, and the atmospheric which I really don,t care to much but dont know how to disable. maybe that,s what I really need disabled.

Which GPU do you have? In any case your best bet is disabling the ocean shaders or the volumetric clouds, nothing else hits the performance as hard. Or maybe just use less volumetrics layers. And turn the ocean fourierGridSize down to 64 if you haven't already, set m_resolution to 8 instead of 4 22 hours ago, AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures said: Sorry it's taken me a while to post my output log.

Agustin Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Ok thank you all for your help. I am tweaking and trying to optimize everything, considering what you said. Now, I dont know in what thread should this next question belong, but do you know how to disable / decrease the parameter that prevents the stars to be seen fronthe surface of the planet at night? I would love to be able to see them at any moment really, no matter what in reallity is supposed to work (I think if you are in the midle of nothing on real esrth, you see the stars quite good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that @Agustin is probably already using DOE, since they said that they are using SVE. I'm pretty sure DOE is included with SVE, isn't it? Perhaps you just need to mess with the DOE settings? EDIT: I would like to add that I have been noticing inconsistencies with DOE's skybox dimming lately, and am also using SVE. I doesn't bother me much, so I haven't paid attention to the exact conditions for repro steps. My issue is sometimes the skybox doesn't dim when it should because the camera is facing the sun, so I can see Kerbol and the skybox at the same time. A bit different then your issue.
