ryan234abc Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hey there! I recently installed scatterer, along with EVE to add clouds and city lights. All in all, I'm really impressed by the visual effects in the atmosphere. However, I cannot seem to get the atmospheric haze to be visible from orbit / map view. Below, I've included a picture of my game from the tracking station, along with an image of what I was after that I found on google. You can see what I mean by atmospheric haze. I'm probably being a bit stupid here - my thoughts were that it was either a different mod or I had to add in the 'haze from orbit' myself - but I've tried and failed to get it to work. Again, apologies if I'm being stupid, but could I have some assistance getting this to work, as it is an effect I would LOVE to have in my game, even if the assistance is just helping me set it up through something. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks so much! Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question does still kind of stand though, as the atmosphere doesn't appear as thick as it does in the first screenshot. I guess I just need a hand tweaking it. Same again, all help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you would want Kerbin to look like the first image, it's just a featureless blue ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you would want Kerbin to look like the first image, it's just a featureless blue ball. Tbh, I was just wondering how I could edit the thickness of the atmosphere haze. For Laythe, I wanted thick clouds, very similar to the first image, but enough to make out high altitude mountains. And for Kerbin, I just wanted to increase the thickness of the haze without making it AS thick as the first screenshot, but more of a midpoint between normal scatterer thickness and that first picture. I totally agree that making it just a featureless blue ball would be stupid, but I'd love to make Laythe look a little more mystical, if you get where I'm coming from.

subyng Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What settings can I tweak to improve performance? Ocean seems to be the main framerate killer. I don't need it to look amazing, anything is better than the stock ocean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerf_hurrdurr Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Just upgraded to the most recent Scatterer. Loving the return of the sunflare for 1.1.3, but now I'm getting this weird atmosphere 'ringing.' Anyone else running into this or is there an easy settings fix? Happy to provide more info if needed.

secretly_asian Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've got a quick question, How would i go about disabling the STOCK solar "flare"? I've installed scatterer and i love the new flare and sunspikes but the stock flare (bright blobby orangy bit) still persists, and is annoying because the sun does not seem to shrink with distance as a travel to outer planets. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan To make the atmosphere thicker, download the config tool from the OP and multiply the betaR parameters by x1.5 or 2x or whatever you think looks thick enough.

No need for a log, just send me your OpenGL version and GPU. Btw did this not happen with previous version? If so copy over compiledSkyScaled.shader and compiledSkyLocal.shader from the old version and you're set.

Thanks! I assume you are using Kopernicus. I don't know what's causing it but when kopernicus is installed, the custom sun flares are present with the center being the stock sun spikes. Perhaps ask the kopernicus guys how to use just the stock sun. Seems kopernicus makes the sun larger. I dunno it's not a big deal to me.

I didn't have this issue in the last version and replacing the suggested files seems to have done the trick. I'd like to help more, but I'll be honest: I'm probably a little out of my depth on some details and my mac rig is a little bit of a Frankenstein. I've replaced the factory graphics card so all of the "What Model Mac is Yours/OpenGL Version" charts won't apply. For the record my graphics card is an ATI Radeon 5770. Embarrassingly enough, I don't really know how to check my openGL version: I can't find the terminal command to display the current version, and system profiler lists my version as "12.1" (wut?). Wish I could be more help, especially if this is an issue others run into! Probably time to face the music and jump ship to PC next computer upgrade....

Zeenobit Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've been crashing with the latest version of Scatterer when I try to load a saved game. I have "-force-d3d11" enabled, and using the alternate DirectX 11 option in Scatterer ("loadAlternative_D3D11_OGL_shaders = True"). Any suggestions? I'd rather not switch to DirectX 9 or OpenGL, since they offer far worse performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
