Phineas Freak Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 @Raptor831 Yes, the "bounding box" view of Scatterer is another known issue. It happens in both stock and RSS but usually only if: You pan the camera around by a large angle You distance the camera from the vessel (does not affect the zoom-in/out function though) As you correctly guessed, the RSS scale makes them a bit more prevalent. I can replicate both of these very easily and with consistency. Changing the far/near camera values of the PQS/SS does improve the appearance a bit.

Raptor831 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 @Phineas Freak Thanks for the confirmation. I'll go and tweak the far/near values and see if I can get something I like. Also, appreciate the effort on RSSVE, makes such a huge difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observe Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) For those attempting to run RSSVE with KSP 1.3. I have good success with the following installation: KSP 1.3RSS v12.0 for KSP 1.2.2Scatterer version 0.0300Environmental Visual Enhancements 1.2.2-1RSSVE v1.2.2-RC3 for KSP 1.2.2 Edited July 6, 2017 by Observe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineas Freak Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 @Observe Fair note: make sure to disable the Scatterer ocean shaders to avoid the "floating tile" issue. On another note: i have been working on the next update for KSP 1.3 but, judging from the fact that the complete RSS/RO/RP-0 suite of mods was just recently updated to support KSP 1.2 and i have made some bug fixes (major and minor), i am thinking about releasing another RC. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the main menu, there is a scatterer window, disable ocean shaders and restart the game. Or you could download the newly released version for 1.3 that doesn't have his issue.

There was a new release for 1.2.2 as well that should fix the floating tiles. I don't know if the cfgs will need to be rewritten.

Phineas Freak Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 The next Release Candidate of RSSVE will be delayed by a bit. @blackrack did an absolutely amazing work with the per planet EVE integration (and the rest of the goodies) and i'd like to have it available for the next version (nothing difficult but i will have to do some tests before making it available in the mainline). For now, the previous (v0.0300) version of Scatterer will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning off the ocean shader removes the ocean altogether for me. Turning if back on, results in the floating tiles problem and makes it virtually impossible for atmospheric flying which I do a lot of. Thank you very much for maintaining this mod! However, I guess I'll have to put the game on the shelf until RSSVE is 1.3 compatible with Scatterer. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is by design. 3 minutes ago, Observe said: However, I guess I'll have to put the game on the shelf until RSSVE is 1.3 compatible with Scatterer. As @Theysen mentioned, since one of the major dependencies (RSS) is not yet updated for KSP 1.3 there is absolutely no reason to update it for KSP 1.3. Do not expect any compatibility updates anytime soon. However, bug fixes and general improvements are in the works (as i noted a couple of posts above). Be patient. Technically, it is possible to get the whole RSS suite up and running for KSP 1.3 but it is not something straigtforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observe Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I hesitate to mention this, because it makes no sense (to me). Using KSP 1.3 with Scatterer 0.0300 I had the floating terrain tiles issue unless I turned ocean shader off - resulting in no ocean at all. I edited RSSVE_Scatterer_Global_Config.cfg and commented out the last line !Scatterer_ocean,*{}:FOR[RSSVE]:NEEDS[Scatterer]. After doing that, I no longer have floating tiles and I have the nice Scatterer ocean! Game now playable for me. Nice ocean, KSP 1.3, clouds etc. EDIT: Atmosphere effects viewing from space are too bright (compared to using KSP 1.2), but I presume these will be tweaked in due time as mentioned. Thanks.

Jack95970002 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Apologies if I have incorrectly followed the instructions, but I am having the same problem KSPlenny:D and RocketBlam reported a while back, shown here: https://ibb.co/hBp6L -- the dark blue sky. I have RSS, RO, and RP-0 installed, as well as scatterer, EVE, and RSSVE installed, all via CKAN, and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what is going wrong. The patch provided on page 12 of this thread did not work for me, though I was confused as to where it should be put, in the GameData folder? In the RSSVE folder? I have tried to manually change the .cfg's from Earth to Kerbin in the files mentioned, to no effect. Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for the wonderful work you do.

Phineas Freak Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 @Jack95970002 Without even a basic log file i cannot say what the problem is. One guess, judging from the sky appearance and since you said that you are using CKAN, is that the EVE BoulderCo folder is present in the GameData folder, breaking the RSSVE cloud configs. BTW, CKAN installations are not currently supported by RSSVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toontoonizer Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 @Phineas Freak absolutely love this mod. Great work in keeping it going. I just have a few questions: 1. Will you be adding hi Res terrain files for earth? The grass around the space centre is pretty much a plain green (maybe my install isn't working right?). If not, how would one go about adding this? 2. The water level seems to be too high...and it is difficult to see shores (especially around cape Canaveral). 3. How can I increase the draw distance of the cloud layers? At a certain altitude (I can't remember which, sorry) I can see the cloud layer being drawn in with just a plain blue beyond it. Thanks so much, and apologies for any typos etc as I'm typing on the phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineas Freak Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 @Toontoonizer thank you, i appreciate your kind words! I had an implementation for detail textures (since the EVE terrain manager does not work anymore) early on but users complained about low frame rates. I recently tried to revive it but i also got the same issue (the lag was unbearable). That's especially annoying considering that i implemented the exact same system to add detail textures to Triton and it worked like a charm. The water level is managed by RSS itself, i do not touch it. A new normal map texture would be required and that is not something that this mod does (maybe in the future). There was such an alternate texture though posted by @Observe in the first couple of pages of this thread. This is (was) a bug with the camera far clip values. I have fixed it for the next Release Candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I finally have beeen able to get RSSVE working with KSP 1.3 by replacing "Earth" with "Kerbin" in the RSSVE configs. Scatterer - latest version Kopernicus - latest versionRSS - latest versionEVE - latest version RSSVE - latest version. Modify the following files: city_lights.cfg, clouds.cfg, Earth_Atmosphere.cfg, Earth_Ocean.cfg, RSSVE_Scatterer_Planetlist_Config.cfg Now I have Scatterer ocean effects, clouds, no floating tiles, and everything looks good as it did with previous KSP version 1.2.
