Ok, so I'm trying to revive mu DunaPlus and EvePlus packs, but I'm making entirely new moons this time, and it's going well! I have the textures as DDS this time, I also have a PluginData folder to save MORE memory, and I'm (sort of) making my own textures! But, this issue is that the scaled space change happens where I don't want it to be. and also, the change is a bit more dramatic than I would like, but that could be because this moon is a small moon. But anyway, here is the issue:

Here's the config as well.

Then, Smov broke off of the planet and wandered into Duna's SOI.

Ok, I have actually noticed two more problems...

The first is the fact that the surface isn't made of proper slopes, their more like steps, and I've seen this in RSS with Deimos so I'm not sure if that one can be fixed.

But the second issue is that when you glitch the camera through the surface, you can still see the planet beneath as it would look from the map.

The thing with the surface being made of steps instead of slopes is probably because of the heightmap you've made. Perhaps it has something to do with the resolution or compression.

 

To make the scaledspace change where you want it to, you'd want to do something like this for scaledspace...

Quote

        ScaledVersion
        {
            type = Vacuum
            fadeStart = 135000
            fadeEnd = 140000
            sphericalModel = False
            deferMesh = False
            Material
            { //etc

...and this for the PQS:

Quote

        PQS
        {
            minLevel = 2
            maxLevel = 6
            minDetailDistance = 8
            maxQuadLengthsPerFrame = 0.03
            fadeStart = 140000
            fadeEnd = 145000
            deactivateAltitude = 180000
            Material
            { //... etc

 

These are based off of Jool's moon Bop.

The important parts are the fadeStart and fadeEnd. Based on what it is for Bop, you want the ScaledSpace fadeStart to be 5000 less than it's fadeEnd. Then you want the PQS fadeStart to equal the ScaledSpace fadeStart, and have it's fadeEnd be 5000 more.

 

The number is the height in m above the planet that you want it to start transitioning. 

For the scaledspace not lining up with the other mesh, try deleting the smov.bin file, I find it helps sometimes when there are scaledspace issues. Hopefully this helps! I'm pretty new to Kopernicus modding so I'm not 100% certain on this.
