Tochno Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 damn.. I've had this installed for a day or two now and Spectra is probably the best visual mod I've ever seen. Stunning graphics! Kerbin looks especially beautiful. One thing though, I like the sun flare but I think it's a bit too much. If I want to use the default scatterer one, do I just remove the "Sunflares" folder from the mod? - I've looked a bit at it now and I guess it's just the "ghosts" that I don't like, will it work even if I only remove the Ghost 1, 2, and 3 png's? Other than that, amazing job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, amazing job! Thank you! That should work yes, though I haven't tried that myself. I suggest trying both, they shouldn't cause any glitches outside of the Sunflare possibly not appearing. If anything you can go into the Sunflare .cfg file and manually delete the lines for all the ghosts.

Removing the ghost pngs did cause the sunflare to disappear as you suspected would happen. I also tried removing all the lines from Sun.cfg that mentioned ghosts, which sort of worked. But there were still some larger ones left. Taking out the pngs from the folder did not work, the flare disappeared again. I ended up just using the default scatterer one by removing the sunflares folder. Thanks for all your help. I gotta say that it's amazing of you to still be so active on this page.

HafCoJoe Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Haha thanks, old habits die hard. I first created a forum account around v0.22 (~2012) and I still check the forum every day The KSP forum, Reddit, and Imgur are the three tabs I immediately open when I login.

salajander Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Hi there - great mod! Been using it for some time, but as my ships are getting complex I'm hitting some FPS issues. I notice in the "Ways to improve performance.txt" file, you suggest removing scatterer. So, I did, but now Kerbin is covered with a thick blue haze. Spoiler If I add scatterer back, things go back to normal. Is there a step I'm missing? Thanks! Edit: Running KSP 1.8.1 on macOS 10.15, with Spectra and dependencies updated with latest versions from earlier today. Edit: Nevermind. Hilariously, I had StockVisualEnhancements sitting in my GameData folder all this time. Moved that out of the way, and I think things are ok. I wonder what other bizarreness that caused? Good times.

Some kerbonaut Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The 1.10 version of this mod doesn't work,there is no gamedata folder in step 2 and after watching the installation video and downloading all the mods from there,nothing about my game was changed. Is there a way to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you install via CKAN there will be a recommendation to install 'KSPRC CityLights'. You may need to open CKAN's settings and set compatible KSP versions to 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10 for EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements to show up since it hasn't been updated yet.

theonegalen Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) The Spectra I just downloaded was about an eighth the size of AVP when unzipped. Am I missing something? I can't find the skybox textures either. Edited August 10, 2020 by theonegalen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no installation video in the OP. I do see a recommendation to install via CKAN though... Mint mod BTW, and it doesn't even eat all my VRAM like AVP does Edited August 10, 2020 by steve_v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said if you followed the video and it does not work, you must have missed something. Installing is as simple as clicking the links in the first folder and downloading/installing them, and then dropping the files from folder 2 into GameData just like you did with the first links. I recommend installing with CKAN though if you are having troubles, it even has a list of recommended mods to install at the same time which I made myself. 6 hours ago, AnFa said: I don't like using CKAN. Any other way? Yes, but it isn't pretty. The CityLights addon is simply a config file that only installs one folder from Proot's KSPRC mod; the 'city lights' folder. To do it manually, download KSPRC, place it in your GameData folder like any other mod, and then delete everything it except the 'CityLights' folder at ''GameData/KSPRC/CityLights'.

Does this mean that we don't need all of the dependencies of KSPRC -- e.g., "Kopernicus" and "Kopernicus Expansion"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some kerbonaut Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 My game still doesn't change even when I have the right mods, I have EVE 1.8.0.2,Spectra 1.4.0,TextureReplacer-4.2.2,ModuleManager4.1.4.dll (not scatterer because it lags my game),KSPRC (deleted everything except CityLights) and the mod still doesn't work.

Some kerbonaut Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 also,is CKAN a mod that you just put into your gamedata folder, and if it is which files will you need to put in the gamedata folder because it showes multiple CKAN files on the download website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you do not need the other dependencies of KSPRC. Kopernicus is also not updated to 1.10.x 1 hour ago, Some kerbonaut said: also,is CKAN a mod that you just put into your gamedata folder, and if it is which files will you need to put in the gamedata folder because it showes multiple CKAN files on the download website It's an .exe file, so a separate program and not like a normal mod you put into GameData. You can check the wiki for install and user guides. Edited August 10, 2020 by Avera9eJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still works but you have to tell CKAN you want to install outdated mods. Go into Settings in CKAN and open 'Compatible KSP versions' and check the boxes for 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10 like so: Do this and try again and it should work Edited August 10, 2020 by Avera9eJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some kerbonaut Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Thanks for the help,but don't worry,I tried out sci-fi visual enhancements and I really like it!I still love how Spectra looks, but it just dosen't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said (me and many others in this thread), spectra works just fine. It looks better than sci-fi IMO too, with similar performance. Suit yourself though. If you aren't going to explain how you installed it or post any logs, there's not much anyone can do to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more confusing to me is that you were able to install sci-fi visual enhancements but you weren't able to install Spectra; they're basically the same mod but with different textures/settings I am glad you got something working though Edited August 11, 2020 by Avera9eJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
