I'm new to this. Is there any video that I can see to know how to install this mod? I'm totally ignorant about it 

Expand  

If you go here https://github.com/themaster402/AstronomersVisualPack/releases and download all the dependencies, and the zip at the bottom (AVP 3.8.zip)

Out of the optional mods I'd just take distant object enhancement, because it's nice to see flares when a station passes overhead.

If you need more help on how to actually install mods, I've made a crap guide for you here:

Yep. That's my problem as well, I have stars on opening screen (where kerbin is always covered in white clouds or mist).
No stars, very, very dark space. No milky way, or whatever it's called down here.

And that as well, not a problems as such, as it's all nice and pretty.

Also, let me say thanks a million to everybody who's involved in this kerbal beautification effort, everything is so beautiful I could burst.

It actually took me many attempts to get Astronomers installed and I've probably fumbled up something in the process.

Especially getting the PlanetShine working, took many attempts and I have no idea what finally clicked to enable it, seems like I did nothing different, just  kept uninstalling/reinstalling until stuff suddenly worked.

 

So I'm not super happy to start poking around randomly, I'll rather live without stars than without planetshine.

But if it's a known or obvious easy fix issue, I'd rather have it all.

 

 

That's my installed stuff. There are a few conflicts:

  • AVP 2K textures: ! AVP-Textures
  • Distant Object Enhancement default config: ! DistantObject config
  • Environmental Visual Enhacements: EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-LR (not indexed)
  • Kopernicust PSM: Kitopia tech release 1.3.0-2
  • Scatterer: ! Scatterer
  • Scatterer default: Scatterer config
  • Scatterer - sunflare: Scatterer - sunflare
  • Spectra: Spaceplane Corrections v0.19 and ! Planet shine config

 

  •  

Any help getting the stars back much appreciated!
If no luck, the whole mod still much appreciated! Beautiful stuff.

___

Edit. 

Ok, I have no Idea what I did, poked around with planetshine and Distant Objects settings, and the stars came back.

It's still very dark, no milky way, but there are a handful of stars in the sky, the brightest ones I guess.

I cant help but notice you have both AVP and Spectra installed. Isnt Spectra a visual overhaul too? If so, thats going to conflict.

Yeah it's a lot nicer than modding skyrim lmao, Np dude.

 

Also there's a modding launcher thingy called "CKAN" that installs mods for you.

But it only lets you install mods if they are confirmed compatible for the most recent version (unless you edit the settings), so I just look on the forums and see if the mod I want works with the current version and install manually most of the time.

That wasn't the cause of the "no stars" issue, however. "No stars" is a feature of Distant Object Enhancement.

Yes, the person I quoted also said this though:

Since he mentioned having more problems than just DOE’s sky dimming I figured I’d mention it. (Especially since he sounded quite frustrated later on, and no one else pointed out the Spectra thing)

I'm assuming AVP 3.8 will work with the latest Scatterer? Or do I still need to use 0.0336?

Expand  

I was also hoping for that, but there's still a huge warning on the first page to keep using Scatterer v0.0336. I guess that it will be published here when this restriction is gone.

Hi there, I am an happy and grateful AVP's user; for me, the last release of it was superlative! Unfortunately the release of Breaking Grounds and the recent changes to the game, made this mod uncompatible with KSP 1.7.1 (even without the new DLC  installed) so my simple question is: is there going to be an AVP update anytime soon? :)

What about it broke, because EVE Andy scatterer work fine for me? If you mean the Kopernicus stuff, then yeah, you’ll need to wait. Kopernicus isn’t updated yet and won’t be for a little while.

Yes, I use Kopernicus as well as AVP,  but when I launch the game, together with the Kopernicus warning, I get notified about AVP too not being compatible with the current KSP version...

That’s probably just a warning because of the version file. It’s max version probably says 1.7. That’s not the case as the key dependencies work fine on 1.7.1. They only thing you’ll be missing is terrain textures. Just remove kopernicus and ignore the version warning.

Okay, I will try and I will report back in case I notice anything wrong with the game. Thanks!

So, I uninstalled Kopernicus and I ran KSP 1.7.1 in DX11 mode with the following mods installed:

  •   Reveal hidden contents

When I enter the Start Game menu for the first time, menu's text is hidden behind Kerbin, and Kerbin's atmosphere doesn't look right:

  Reveal hidden contents

The same atmosphere glitch is also visible in game (here one of the training missions), and the game is a bit laggy:

  Reveal hidden contents

When I enter again the menu, it looks like this:

Before the KSP 1.7.1 update, everything was fine. If need be, I can provide log files.

I have no idea. Looks like this is a AVP exclusive issue as I have never seen that with any other visual pack on 1.7.1. SVE is fine and SciFi was fine as well. Also, the visuals for my other planet packs seem fine too.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no clue.

Next, I will try uninstalling AVP, and see if that fixes the issues. If it does, then it is an incompatibility between KSP 1.7.1 and AVP. I have never tried SVE, though from videos it looks nice too. I might give it a go while themaster402 irons out the problems (supposed that my diagnosis is correct). Reports by other AVP users might be useful too...

Quick update: removing all the mods, and re-adding them after having run a file integrity check, seems to have fixed the problem. It turned out that one of the game files was corrupted. Thank you for the feed back Galileo!
