gameskipper Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Hello! I haven't been on KSP for a while, and I kinda stopped playing after I really couldn't get my visual mods to work - the main problem being, is that the solar terminator (twilight) is tinted blue for me, kinda ruins it. I believe this is an issue on Scatterer's side, sorry if this was already asked by someone else somewhere, didn't really check all pages. (P. S. this is not a scatterer problem, but I do want to complain about how the image insertion system here is kinda weird) Not sure if I can get logs, because I really don't know how. Oh and my modlist rn is(should all be latest): AVP + Textures Textures Unlimited (i dont think its working) Distant Object EnhancementEVE(redux) Kopernicus + ModularFlightIntegrator PlanetShine Scatterer + something called ScattererAtmosphereCache Sigma Replacements? - didn't even want it, didn't put it there, fsr now its always appearing when i launch my game Sunflares of Maar (not working) ModuleManager and the usual stock Squad and SquadExpansion(both) Edited April 24, 2022 by gameskipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a screenshot of the problem? Also: Texture Unlimited need configs to work, you can write your own or get ones for stock and mods with "Magpie mods" mod Sigma replacements is for the skybox, IIRC AVP gives you the option of using that, Texture replacer or DiRT I also cannot get Sunflares of Maar to work out of the box, maybe is because of outdated configs. What I do is to choose the sunflare that I like and copy the "Sun" folder and "Sun.cfg" to Scatterer->config->Sunflares I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, as far as I know that twilight is supposed to be with an orange color, not blue, sort of as seen in this photo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason his terminator doesn't look like its supposed to is because Sky Irradiance is set to 6 and that wipes out all the color on the Terminator. AVP has that setting set to 0.05 (among other settings that aren't right in that screenshot he shared) As for why that happened, its because some other config in @gameskippers install is overriding it. I'd imagine its the prepackaged scatterer configs. But thats also something thats probably more due to AVP and how it set up its module manager patch. It has its atmo config set to this: @Scatterer_atmosphere:BEFORE[AstronomersVisualPack] when it should probably be something like this: @Scatterer_atmosphere:LAST[scatterer] TMK the way the syntax works is that using BEFORE AVP loads the AVP config before scatterer, but then scatterer comes in and overrides it, where as with LAST Scatterer it should load AVPs stuff last, after scatterer is loaded. @themaster401 may need to weigh in on that.

The latest AVP scatterer configs for the stock planets are just a copy paste of the default scatterer configs last I checked. Since he didn't report any other mods I assume he's using outdated AVP. Either way he needs to delete/fix what is overriding the scatterer configs but no it's not the prepackaged scatterer configs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No AVP does have different settings from default scatterer, but yes you are right that it isn't scatterer itself thats overriding his settings. He has an extra config hidden somewhere. I'd make a clean install @gameskipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with ignoring this, but Laythe has a weird line artifact when looking from behind... If you need a screenshot notif me, but there's also a weird thing with Minmus, where when getting closer to it e.g. in the tracking station, it seems to change textures from a light tint to a darker, dirtier tint and then when getting even closer it makes a weird blob of a lighter texture Edited April 24, 2022 by gameskipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One solution is to lower mie (beta m_sca) but you'll change the planet's look and lose the glorious sunsets. No idea about the minmus issue though.

LegatusFlagrans Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Encountered this really weird texture glitch on Kerbin earlier and only pops up when Scatterer is installed even in an otherwise clean install of KSP. Screenshot is running only Scatterer with no other mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you provide logs (with that setting on) and some info about your install? Never seen this issue before so curious what caused it.

Actually not the install itself but if you did anything to trigger it or it's always there. I assume it's always there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gameskipper Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Kinda related to scatterer, so I wanted to ask, scatterer seems to not be removing the stock sunflare, even if I added sunflare mods. Note: I found a forum where a person had sent a .cfg file that fixed it, however now that file is deleted and I can't get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't know an easy solution. What I do is use a pre-made cfg (Like the ones in Kabrams sunflares, those work flawlessly), copying over the PNGs of Sunflares of Maar and then using the in game scatterer editor (Alt+F10) to adjust the parameters to my liking.

I think you just need to add syntaxVersion = 1 to these old sunflare configs.

Rodger Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I'm getting a weird issue in 2.5x GPP (and TUFX), wondering if it's a scatterer thing, or a config issue due to rescaling. images in spoiler: Spoiler 1: in orbit, sun is about to rise: 2: as soon as the sun clears the main body of the planet, but not past the atmosphere, everything goes black, including glowing parts: 3: past the atmosphere, it's back to normal with an orange sunrise: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
