It’s in 1.3.1 and is more noticeable in 1.4.x due to the new exaggerated effects. Gotcha, never noticed it in 1.3.1. Wish they'd fix it as its quite annoying. The other issue I mentioned having was the terrain seemingly disappearing once past a certain altitude in orbit. Kerbin ends up looking like a water planet. Not sure if its Scatterer related or what.

It is scatterer related is and is caused by a bad cfg. Do you happen to disable scatterer eclipses? i used to have an issue like this with SVE and it turned out to be people disabling the eclipses. I forget what parameter needs to change. It’s been so long since I have seen the issue. Edited April 18, 2018 by Galileo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never noticed any issues with terrain disappearing above a certain altitude so I'm afraid I don't know exactly what's going on. What height do you see the bug occur?

I know I had launched something to a circular 175km orbit and the land had disappeared. I'll try to get a video of it tomorrow. Edit: Was actually able to get one tonight. Effect starts around 1:00. Edit 2: Apologies for the apparent jumpiness of the video. Don't usually record, so may have some settings not configured.

Reveal hidden contents Reveal hidden contents When vessels reenter the atmosphere they are becoming somewhat transparent. You can see through the capsule to the tanks underneath. Seems like a shader issue of some sort? Hm.... that looks like it might actually be the atmosphere becoming too thick to see through, not the water enveloping the land. I made some last minute changes with the atmosphere configs and my guess is that's what's causing problems. I"ll fix it when I've next got time.

Fourjays Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 @Tiptonian@Avera9eJoe I think it's a typo in the skyExtinctionMultiplier on point 6 for Kerbin. It is defined as 0.0600, but I believe it should be 0.6000 (based on point 5 being 0.7000 for Kerbin, and all other planets having a final skyExtinctionMultiplier of 0.7000 or more). You can temporarily fix it until Spectra is updated by editing Spectra\Spectra_scatterer\Planets\Kerbin\atmo.cfg and changing the skyExtinctionMultiplier value to 0.6000 (line 178). I've also discovered an issue with Duna, running on 1.4.3 (just the atmospheres and clouds due to Kopernicus not being updated yet). It may be down to me skipping Kopernicus (although I think that's just needed for ground textures and scatter), but the day/night "colour blend" on Duna is quite harsh: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372253494 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372237616 I divided the cloudColorMultiplier, cloudScatteringMultiplier and cloudskyIrradianceMultiplier values by 10 and it looks much better, but at the cost of vibrancy: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372253452 Is there a better way to fix this? None of the other atmospheric planets have this issue, and after trying various things in the configs I've not found another setting that changes this.

Fourjays Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Follow up regards the Duna "colour blend" as I've found part of the issue.The Duna-atmoScatterer-blue layer for EVE is defined twice. Once in EVE_atmoMain.cfg and again in EVE_atmoScatterer.cfg. I believe only the latter should be defined? Removing the one from EVE_atmoMain.cfg partly fixed the issue by reducing the intensity. This gives results similar to adjusting the cloudColorMultiplier value in scatterer. However, the harsh blending is still present. Strangely, opening EVE config, ensuring the layer's textures are enabled and hitting apply seems to fix the issue entirely while retaining the rather nice blue hue. I've tried saving via EVE after hitting apply, but the issue reoccurs when I restart the game. I think it goes beyond my limited knowledge on EVE/Scatterer. Hopefully some of what I've tried will help you narrow it down further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the configs set up so that if the game detects Scatterer, it uses the blue glow config found inside EVE_atmoScatterer.cfg. If it does not detect Scatterer, it uses the stock .cfg file with an alternate blue glow config. If you reload the EVE configs via the EVE GUI it breaks it though and copies both glow configs to the main file. Could that be what's happening? Also though, I don't usually run Scatterer so it's possible I missed a mistake before releasing the newest version. I've got the previous releases downloaded so when in doubt I can revert back. Thanks for the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the updates. Just done a fresh download of Spectra (from Spacedock) to check I didn't save via EVE earlier. The blue config is definitely defined in both atmoMain and atmoScatterer in the fresh download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustard Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Since le last release 1.4.3 i have a issue with the visualisation of the ground on Duna. Now, impossible to see the texture of the ground. I checked one by one and the guilty is Spectra. I'm sad because i love Spectra, i think it's the best mod for KSP. So do you know this problem and how to solve it ? I hope a new release of Spectra to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speadge Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Hey Avera, could you think of anything that just makes my Kerbin look like your "scatter-less" pictures, but jool, duna & co look like the normal ones? Scatterer is working, judging on the ocean shaders. Im on 1.4.3 with scatterer 0.331b. Also was wondering why you disable godrays & stuff in your config? Edit - well, found that this godrys enabled mess things up with the scatterer atmo settings... took me 3h -.- Edited May 1, 2018 by Speadge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - well, found that this godrys enabled mess things up with the scatterer atmo settings... took me 3h -.- You could remove the atmosphere configs for Kerbin if you want - you'll need to remove two "atmo.cfg" files, one from Scatterer/configs/planets/Kerbin and one from Spectra/Spectra_Scatterer/planets/configs/Kerbin. EDIT: Hmmm in hindsight it's not actually that simple... You'll also need to copy the "Kerbin glow blue" module from EVE_afmoStock.cfg" config in Spectra/EVE to "EVE_atmoMain.cfg" in the same location, that way the glow is applied when it still senses Scatterer.

Tourman Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hey Avera, Not sure if you maintain the CKAN index as well, but there's a conflict with the default install and Planetshine. If you have Planetshine already installed via CKAN, Spectra refuses to install because of a config conflict. If you install Planetshine at the same time as Spectra (by selecting the Spectra PS config), Spectra fails to install because it tries to override the icons in the Planetshine folder that PS already installed. If you install Spectra without PS installed, the Plugins folder for PS is not included (effectively disabling the mod), but the configs are there. The last scenario is if you install Planetshine after Spectra, in which case now PS fails to install Installing Both simultaneously: About to install... * PlanetShine 0.2.6.1 (cached) * Spectra v1.1.7 (cached) Module "PlanetShine" successfully installed Oh no! We tried to overwrite a file owned by another mod! Please try a `ckan update` and try again. If this problem re-occurs, then it maybe a packaging bug.
