[1.2] Para-Sci High-Performance Atmosphere Pack v1.1 - 27 October 2016

[problemecium]

I'll look into it. Is it just Kerbin where the clouds don't move, or is it everywhere?

[Flamingo]

What i can see is that they move on Eve, Duna, Laythe and im not sure about Jool,but i think they do. But not on Kerbin, i just did it on a clean install to be sure, and it is the exact same.

[Program Kerbal Space]

EDIT: i cant add pic becuz idk how

oh and clouds wont move

Unless you already know how to edit atmosphere configurations in EVE, the only way to fix the clouds is to wait around for me to post an updated version of the pack.

Yes. this is a performance based visual pack for those who don't have very strong computers. There are no volumetric puffy clouds

well i guess it is something then because my computer cant even handle EVE without this man nvidia geforce is horrible

[problemecium]

Does the pack still lag badly if you try launching a ship with only a few parts (say just a probe core and an RTG)? I have trouble buying that your GPU is too weak when I can run this easily on Intel HD Graphics 4000 on a laptop.
If the problem is tied to how many parts your ship has or how many ships are in your save file, then it's not the graphics card but your CPU that's underperforming.
If the problem is related to how many mods you have installed, then it's your RAM that's too small.

I'm also looking into seeing if I can disable the procedural noise feature in the cloud detail textures, as I have a feeling it's also a big performance hog.

UPDATE!:
Turns out the noise feature isn't a procedural noise function at all, as I had thought it was, but merely a scrolling texture.
The pack has now been updated with a correction to the stationary clouds on Kerbin (I had accidentally set their speed to 0), all unused textures trimmed out, and a few other minor adjustments.

Brilliant, I am glad i could help, even though it were just i silly mistake.

How can I edit the mod when downloaded? Because I want to add puffy clouds, And city lights.

I recommend reading through the EVE thread for information on how to create custom EVE configurations. This is just a configuration I made, so editing it and adding features is the same as it is with EVE and any other EVE configuration pack.

ok i will then

[crackerbal]

hi good job on creating this

experiencing some lag issues with scatterer i tried this and just notice that the visual isn't as great as i tought it would be i dont know if it's normal but check out these screenshoot i get, the terrain becomes unsightly and the clouds are octogonal, the visual enhancement becomes a visual dimish/disgrace

tell me is this visual rendin, what it should to been ?

maybe my gpu is to hight compare this low quality ?

ps. sry for my english i belive it's still comprehensive

[problemecium]

The terrain looking blocky is due to your game settings, not this pack or any mod.

As for the rest it looks basically the way I made it. It's not going to be as pretty as Scatterer, and the default game has no clouds at all, so take that as an upgrade or downgrade how you will.

[SyiMyuZya]

Almost thought that the Mun has an atmosphere now 

It's actually the "glow" layer of the Mun visible from a 65km orbit, which makes it look like an "atmosphere".

Wonder if this effect is intended, or just a visual glitch...

[problemecium]

Sorta both. EVE seems to have some limitations insofar as I can't currently find a way to control how fast the layer's opacity changes with distance (as used to be a feature), so I had to make a compromise between making it opaque enough to show up clearly from Kerbin (and end up being partially visible near the Mun) and making it transparent enough not to show up from near the Mun (and being too subtle to notice from Kerbin).

[SpaceBadger007]

Sorry for asking a dumb question, but how do I install this?

 

[problemecium]

Please look in the EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements main thread for detailed information on how to add this mod to your game

[Neil_Kerman]

Will this work with ksp v1.2.1? Please reply as soon as possible

[Vorg]

yes

Thanks... But it's hanging a bit in the loading screen. 

Not at the loading screen, but a bit after the main menu appears.

[Vorg]

It does that. Takes a few seconds to apply to the planet in the background. during startup.
