Clouds

[Miro Beero]

I am trying to figure out how to get clouds and stuff on the planets going thru the mods.

I think I found the mod I see reference to in all the posts (is it this one) ?

From my understanding its not really a mod, but an assortment of mods that need to be installed part by part?

Or am I missing something so there is 1 simple zip download / unzip and play ?

Thanks,

M.

That pack hasn't been updated for 1.0+, you'd have to install updated versions of its dependencies for it to work properly. It does work though, just follow the instructions in the pack.

Worse than that I'm afraid. The newer Interstallar has so many mods that aren't updated they don't work well (Interstellar itself is out of date). If you want an easy to install version, click here and download the one labeled Edge of Oblivion which is actually older than Interstellar but simpler too. It is pretty much clouds only (and those clouds look better than Interstellar IMO). However even that one is powered Environmental Visual Enhancements which should be installed first.

So which "environment" mod does everyone use?

I just want the planets and stuff to look cooler.

I'm all ears.

Start with Environmental Visual Enhancements after it is installed and running, install Edge of Oblivion per Alshain's link above. I'm not sure why EoO seems confusing when you first install. It really isn't but does require you to slow down and follow step by step directions. After installing go into your Game Data/BoulderCo/CityLights/Textures folder and remove the tga files (leave the png) - trust me, it will keep you from asking why the dark side of Kerin looks weird. Once your clouds and city lights are looking awesome, try adding Distant Object Enhancement so you can spot planets and moons. I also love Planet Shine and Scatterer. All of these work in 1.04 even if they are seemingly out of date. The Kerbal Universe is beautiful with these mods installed.

Thanks,

I will try it.
