It's been gone for over a year now. It's a long story. I'm sure if you search the forums you'll find answers though

Any idea about Spacedock?

Which one do you recommend?

Spacedock is fine. Servers go down every now and then, but that's all.

I recommend using the one that is for the version of ksp you are using.

No and mine definitely doesn't look like that. 

Actually it looks a lot like your 1.1.3-era crater wall textures, just not properly loaded and over-the-top washed-out.

And it looks like your screenshots at a distance.

Just for a screenshot, here's a surface landing:

So, guess I'm back to chasing bugs.

[DDE]

Formal bug report as follows: high-detail textures fail to load on approach to Mun, slightly more detailed textures pop in in grid squares directly underneath the craft. Observing additional visual anomalies only at a certain angle and around a certain region, but these remain even with SVT removed:

@DDE

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, and noticed quite a lot of random EXC and ERR in the logs, especially regarding textures. I noticed further the frame rate dropping massively. By chance if found out, that Windows 10 really seems to like running indexing in the background of KSP, eating up a lot of disk performance. So you might want to check, if you run Windows 10, if Windows Search Service is active. disable it for a try an look if that problem remains. As I don't need WinSearch at all, I have it deactivated completely now. Hell is playing KSP fast since then! =)

If you're not running Windows or that doesnt cure it, well, it's a simply try. =)

@SchrottBot, CPU 27%, Memory 68%, Disk 11%. Although it's not unlike Windows.

I think it's associated with the glitch I've previously observed, the one that produces a very blocky Minmus among others when you zip around with Hyperedit.

Well then, at least one potential source of trouble crossed out on the list. =)

Well,I've installed your SVE.However,after I installed the SVT and Kopernicus,my game crashed,there must be something wrong

I got the "for Windows" version, it's lovely and really gives a boost to the look of the game, my compliments!

Yes, there must be something wrong with way you are launching your game. Check that you are launching in x64 bit. 

I see you are new to the forums. Typically, coming to a thread and saying "this is broke" without providing any info at all would probably yield very little support. Read this and return if you continue to see the crash after trying x64 bit.

errr...You're right.It works in x64 bit. Sorry to trouble you,thanks a lot.

UPDATE
Since I haven't been put to work since arriving in Houston...
SVT v2.0.6

change log

• New, more immersive textures
• Fixed missing boulders on Kerbin
• New tiling parameters. Still a WIP
• Other minor changes not worth mentioning

 

If you don't want rocks, trees, cactus' and other scatter objects to be solid, edit the "EnableColliders" cfg in the SVT folder; change %collide = True to %collide = False

 

REQUIREMENTS:
KOPERNICUS https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases

 

DOWNLOAD

 

To install:

1. Install Kopernicus https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases
and drop into your GameData folder.

2. Drop the SVT folder into your GameData folder.

Thank you Galileo, looks awesome!

Just installed latest version and all scatter objects are gone. Will try previous version later to see if prob persists.

What version of Kopernicus are you using??? Check your scatter settings in the graphics tab in the main menu. I can guarantee they work just fine

Post logs

I'm using the latest version of Kopernicus. I reverted back to previous version 2.0.5 and it works fine. Version 2.0.6 - no scatter objects (although strangely there are a handful of trees just near the space centre but that's it). I had noticed that you'd changed the directory structure slightly in SVT 2.0.6 (configs). I also tried deleting the Module manager cache to reset it and also reloading it but no luck. I could upload log but ill need to create dropbox account.

I did a fresh install of SVT v2.0.6, downloaded from github, and I'm getting plenty of scatter objects. In fact, I'm having a hard time finding any spots not filled with them. Yes, I changed the directory slightly, but that has nothing to do with if scatter appears or not. 

Spoiler

I would double check your settings, and maybe reinstall. Try a fresh sandbox game and move around. The scatter is there. 

If anyone else is having this issue let me know, I guess.

It seems to be working now, not sure what happened. Anyway thanks for your help and for a great mod.

Question for the sublime @Galileo - just curious for a mod idea that would need this mods solid terrain scatter.
Do you know if I'd be able to detect anything specific when trying to interact with the solid scatter terrain? ie If I stick a modded drill through a tree / cactus / rock, can I detect it's specifically a tree / cactus / rock? Or are there no named colliders / object whatnot to identify themselves in the interaction?

I don't remember Kerbin being this glossy:

Any clues if this is an SVT or Kopernicus issue, or something else? Looks to me like the glossiness is inverted (I'd expect the ocean to be glossy, not the land), as if that shaders have swapped from smoothness to roughness.

Do you have research bodies installed? It changes the alpha on the textures and makes them glossy  i already brought it up with jplrepo, but no fix yet

Science Experiments can be made to work with terrain scatter but it is not biome specific. A rock sample in the lowlands for instance would be the same as one done in the mountains... but it can be done.

Bingo! I tried a few things, but never thought to suspect ResearchBodies (which I've only tried playing with once before).

If you guys find a solution to fix this, I'm interested !
