Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I deleted and reinstalled TextureReplacer several times too. Still didn't work. But I think somewhere in the KSP_Data folder there is either sharedassets 9 or sharedassets 10, I forgot which one, but I think that's the flare and that's how Proot made the sunflare in KSPRC back in 0.90. So should I delete that and try?

No I wouldn't delete that.  Try a fresh install of ksp and reinstall SVT.  I can't be sure where your issue is coming from but I have never had the sun flare just revert back to showing both.  I have been running it since I created the mod with no issues.

ok, I'll see if that works. Btw, I just learned how insanely easy it is to add a skybox into the game with TextureReplacer. I made one that looks really good with SVE

Send some screenshots

I have made a few in my time,  but I decided not to include any because people like the freedom of choice

Thank you! I really liked how it turned out, because with my first one, you could see the Galaxy Belt fine, but the top and bottom of the skybox were just black squares. I even added reflections on Kerbal Helmets.  Should I put it on the TextureReplacer thread?

Yeah I'm sure others would greatly appreciate it.

K, I'll work on getting that out later, but for now I'm gonna try and fix the problem.

[SmashingKirby148]

Oh hey! I fixed it! I checked within KillAshley's KASE mod, and apparently there was a config for the sun. I got rid of that and it works again.

These sunflares look awesome! It doesn't seem like the flares work with the new scatterer 0.0255 though. I know that the sunflare folder in scatterer has been packed differently and also renamed sun. I used your config and tried renaming the folder from "Sun" to "sunflare" but it owuldnt work. Do you know if there is anything I can do? 

 

EDIT:

Nevermind, it had to do with some rescaling I did.

Glad you got it working.  I haven't had a chance to convert everything to the new scatterer yet. I will do that soon

@Galileo I'm currently using one of your yellow flares and it looks great, but I've had trouble using a white flare. I tried using a white one (charlie), and instead of being all white, it showed up as white flare on top of a yellow sun (as if the originalSunglare.png is still being used). I'm otherwise using scatterer and EVE from your SVE download links, then replacing the files in /GameData/scatterer/sunflare with the ones from your download. I also have Kopernicus (1.1.3-1). This is in KSP 1.1.3. 

Obviously, I'm misunderstanding something here. I tried to grab the newest scatterer for 1.1.3, but it doesn't seem to accept sunflares the same way as the version of scatterer you bundled with SVE. I also see plenty of people have screenshots with a white sun, so they clearly did something I didn't.

it may have been something i have done.. Which sunflare is it? 

[danfarnsy]

From GalileosSunFlares.1.52.zip, it's Galileo's Sun Flares/GalileosSunflares/Choose Sunflare/Charlie/(all the files) put in scatterer/sunflare. I've tried both by writing over the top and leaving other existing files alone, or by deleting the contents of scatterer/sunflare and then copying your files in.

I'll try to get you a screenshot right quick.

@danfarnsy i just realized your issue. you do have Kopernicus, sorry i missed that

This cfg should fix the issue.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tit7167a57mgtfh/Sun.cfg?dl=0

if there is a sun cfg already in your kopernicus mod. delete it and add this one

Thanks for the help. It took me a while to figure out why this solution wasn't working: I also had KASE installed, which tries to do the same thing as SVT. It had been some months since I'd played, so I didn't realize my redundancy in picking up your extras for SVE. "I replaced sun.cfg in here just like he said!" I feel like I just spent a couple of hours looking for a missing semicolon. 

And I may just discover that, like superman, I prefer the light of a yellow sun.

UPDATE

v1.6

• Updated to KSP v1.2 and latest Scatterer

Hello. I have recently installed this, then installed Sigma Dimensions and doubled the size of everything. This made the sunflare weird. I remember seeing a fix for this somewhere else but I can't find it now. Thanks fot your help,

Benji13.

You will need to set the sun to not rescale or rescale only half in the advanced settings in your Sigma settings.cfg.

@SmashingKirby148 have you released that skybox anywhere? I'd love to get my hands on it.

It was on SpaceDock, but I don't know what happened to it. :S

I'll reupload it once I have time.

Have you had time yet? I don't want to sound like a nag but it looks really good and I want it.
