Just like in @airtrafficcontroller second image. Do you have any idea what is causing this ? thank you Yes! You need to change the configs outside the game, inside Spectra folder there are some .cfg files for scatterer, open it and change all the "skyExtinctionTint" values to 1. The tint configs used to match the planet textures on KSP 1.4, now it need some fine tunes again, I'll try to help Avera9eJoe when my vacations starts, next week.

You can see the changes puting a craft on the launchpad, zoom out the max you can and use the Scatterer buton (the blue sphere) to change configs the way you like. I will not save the changes because module manager takes it from Spectra configs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackoman6789 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Just wondering if this is just me or not, but when low to the ground on Kerbin (like the KSC) I get a weird issue that basically looks like the kerbin texture is just a bunch of colored lines? I'll try to get a screenshot if I can. Pic: https://imgur.com/a/RuGBPcN Edited January 15, 2019 by Wackoman6789 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltot Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Getting a blue duna, but it seems different than the one on the previous page of the forum. Its a much brighter blue, and I'm on the latest version of Kopernicus. Here's a screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/SzMxqaO EDIT: I removed EVE from the game and it seemed to make it non blue, so it seems to part of those configs. But also thanks for doing all this work in making a beautiful visual pack. Edited January 21, 2019 by cooltot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit save, it deletes some of the modulemanager lines that turn on/off when Spectra detects Scatterer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Installed it on a clean save and no issue, so it looks like its one of my other mods screwing it up. Sorry for bothering you. I'm going to go and try to fix it EDIT 2: Looks its a problem with "The World Beyond." EDIT 3: clean install with both the world beyond and spectra confirms this.

MysticDaedra Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 CKAN version still says 1.4.4... Is this compatible with 1.6? I'm actually a bit concerned for the KSP modding community, now that we are in 3 month "major" update cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji13 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Kind of confused about the versioning here... CKAN and Spacedock both say that Spectra is for 1.4.4, yet the title here says 1.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovi Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Hello! I installed Spectra a week a two ago and i started to notice something strange: all clouds were 2D. I went into the EVE toolbar from the KSC screen and i activated the option for 3D clouds. The problem is, i could only do this for Kerbin and it wouldn't let me switch to the options for other planets. For example, i used Hyperedit Hyperedit to get to Eve and the clouds were still 2D. Does anybody know how i could solve the problem? Thanks! Edit: I've found out how to change the settings for other planets too. I went into tracking station and by switching the planet it also switches it in the EVE toolbar. But now i have other problems: Duna is way too blue. It has a visible layer of blue colour above the atmosphere. At Duna i left all setings the same way they were initially. There are 3 settings named Duna-atmoScatterer-blue. The more of them i enable, the bluer it gets. Link: https://imgur.com/G7IX9Iv Edit 2 (last one probably): I found out how to solve the problem. It only ocurrs if i change some settings in the EVE Toolbar and press apply. Otherwise, the blue layer works like a gradient (whatever that means).

jospanner Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Anyone had joy running this with OPM + OPMVO? I've tried putting them side-by-side but all that happens is that Spectra's clouds config does not seem to work. Astronomer's pack works with OPM so maybe it can, in theory, be done.

Spectra should work fine in 1.6, but you have to follow the manual instructions (very easy to do). The mod pulls from Proot's Renaissance Compilation so I couldn't use CKAN.

If you ever hit SAVE in the EVE GUI it breaks Duna's shaders- they have a custom command to auto enable/disable when you have Scatterer installed and hitting save reformats the .cfg and breaks that command.

Hm, I don't know how Astronomer has it set up but planet packs tend to change the fundamentals of KSP's planetary system/naming config, and so it isn't an easy fix to make a visual pack work with it sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimblgrimpf Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi! I have an issue with the scatterer config and I haven't found this digging through the old pages of this thread. When climbing to high space alt around kerbin, the land fades out until I'm left with an ocean planet. I removed the spectra scatterer config and then the terrain was back. Any idea? Thanks!

You did half the right thing in removing the Spectra Scatterer config- if you go inside that config and just delete the "Kerbin" folder it will fix this issue but leave everything else still correct 12 hours ago, Tyko said: Beautiful work Does Spectra work with RSS?

Cat91 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Greetings, and thank you for providing such a great visual pack! It's not really a GPU demanding pack compared to others, but also beautiful, it really took my gameplay to a new level. However I soon found out that the sun becomes a burning potato without scatterer installed: After messing around with the files I found these lines in Kopernicus_terrain.cfg: Light { sunLensFlareColor = 0, 0, 0, 0 sunAU = 2500000000 } I figured that these lines are used to disable the stock flares so the scatterer flare can stand out. But I really don't have a PC can run that, so I replaced these lines with the lines in SVE: Light { //sunLensFlareColor = 255, 255, 255, 40 //sunAU = 2500000000 sunlightIntensity = 0.75 scaledSunlightIntensity = 0.65 IVASunIntensity = 0.75 } Then the stock sun flare is back! Probably useful for those who doesn't have a computer to run Scatterer. Edited February 4, 2019 by Cat91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed the Kerbin config, but now the terrain is low quality and the shoreline glitches out. I have also noticed the water just disappears.

Hi mimblgrimpf, and everyone around! First post here, so I'll take the time to thank you all for the work and information you spread in this place. I had the same issue regarding the land disappearing once I reach an altitude of 140km. I'm running KSP 1.6.1 with Spectra 1.1.7, with PlanetShine, DistantObjectEnhancement, and KS3P. Here's the fix I found out: You can edit the scatterer config file for Kerbin that Spectra uses (Spectra/Spectra_scatterer/Planets/Kerbin/atmo) and tweak the skyExtinctionMultiplier on the last item (where altitude value is 140000) from 0.06 to 1. I also changed skyExtinctionTint from 1.5 to 0.5 to reduce the yellow tint on the sun's reflexion, and adjusted these values for the two previous items for continuity's sake. You can play with these values in-game from the EVE config UI and finesse them to your own liking (make sure to select the right item for your altitude). I hope it helps!
