There isn't one.  You've done the next best thing.

Which version(s) of KSP are you setting in CKAN?  My CKAN is set for 1.4 and EVE v1.4.2-2 is there.  It's for a max KSP version of 1.4.9.

Ah. Thanks for that clarification.

Quick question - how come EVE isn't updated to work with the latest version of KSP?

Except for the main menu scene, everything works pretty fine. Well, I encountered some minor issues and recompiled EVE for 1.5.1 but it doesn't seem to be a common problem. So you can still use the latest release in 1.5.1 or if you encounter any issues, try my recompiled version:

(The main menu is still bugged even though I'm actually certain to found the reason for it... I just don't know how to fix it^^)

So... can I trick CKAN into thinking I have 1.4 or something?

Yes, that's possible

Go to Settings -> Compatible KSP Version

This will bring up a new window with a list of KSP versions. Select 1.4.2 (or 1.4 in general) and save the settings. You may need to hit the 'Update' button in the main window as well. This allows CKAN to show and install mod for older KPS versions

Ah! Worked like a charm. Thanks friend.

Well, even though the main menu is just visible for a few seconds...if anyone really wants to get rid of the flickering/strange cloud shadows in KSP 1.5.1, you can try my filthy solution which I've used for testing purposes.

The reason for the flickerin is a changed main menu scene. SQUAD added a few more lights and changed a property of the sunlight. My 'mod' reverts these changes to the state of KSP 1.4.
I guess, a proper solution would be some changes in the EVE shaders but I have no clue how to do it

Is this compatible with 1.5.1?

Please see the several posts, just above yours on this page, which already address this question.

I believe Scatterer does that, but not EVE.

Both EVE and scatterer do eclipses. Most people prefer scatterer’s, though.

[Kroslev Kerman]

is it FPS hungry like scatterer or as FPS friendly as Sci-fi visual enhancements?

Sci-Fi Visual Enhancements *uses* EVE. (And optionally, scatterer)

OK, so I'm still a little confused about installing custom EVE configs. Do I just install EVE without configs and then just drop the custom config file in my Gamedata?

yes

Usually, you will need more than a single config file but that's pretty much how it works. Just look at mods like SVE, they basically just add custom configs (and textures!) which are applied through EVE.

Since when does eve look so bad?

Looks like the stock config. If you want more clouds and a different look, try SVE (don't forget to remove the stock configs).

This can be done by editing the 'cloud.cfg' via texteditor (the config can be found in 'KSP_install_directory/GameData/BoulderCo/Atmosphere/clouds.cfg') or via the ingame editor (available in the KSC scene or the trackingstation).

In both cases, you need to look for the entry 'layerVolume' and remove it. The ingame editor is the easiest way to do it, that's how it looks like:

Just uncheck the button, hit 'Save' and restart the game

thankssss

I would like to use EVE on its own as a visual mod, but I don't know in which folder the config files should be placed.

Please, could somebody tell me?

thanks.

Hello! Not sure if I should post this here or in a Sigma thread. I've been thoroughly enjoying EVE and Scatterer with KSP version: 1.2.2 for some time now. But after scaling my stock system up 3.6x using sigma dimensions, not only are the clouds somewhere in the upper stratosphere on Kerbin but around Jool they now appear as a separate sphere of clouds by the side of Jool which looks like a hazy glass marble with a green ball in its center. Not to mention Duna and Eve, who's cloud layers are now in high orbit...

I've tried removing EVE and re-installing but the exact same problem still occurs. Is anyone familiar with this issue?

In 1.6 on Linux, I'm seeing some erratic memory leaking that this mod may be partially to blame for; 100kB/s of memory usage increase is not really normal. It's very odd, though, as Scatterer alone seems to eat memory in chunks of a few MB every minute, and it can take a while for the leaking to begin, so I'm not sure yet if this is causing its own memory leak or just exacerbating Scatterer's.

Always best to test mod bugs in isolation. EVE and Scatterer are independent, but Scatterer does inject its own Shaders on top of EVE's.
