[KSP 1.3.1] Better Atmospheres Reborn [v6]

[themaster401]

Better Atmospheres is an E.V.E. 7-4 visual pack, using RSS, TextureReplacer, and Custom Asteroids to improve the stock system. Because the developers of the original BetterAtmospheres have not been on the forums for quite some time, I have simply repackaged the latest version for Kerbal Space Program 1.3.

                                       

                                     

The SpaceDock download comes with all dependencies.

 

 

 

The RealSolarSystem plugin is included for an effect, the mod does not function on RealSolarSystem.

(That's a big download button, if you didn't realize.)

And with that, after a very long time, you once again now have Better Atmospheres! Enjoy!

Original thread here.

For those who are wondering, I do not plan on extending this mod and making it quite feature-fledged like Astronomer's Visual Pack. This is available simply for those who want raw Better Atmospheres functioning on the latest Kerbal Space Program version.

Perhaps in the future, I could assemble a visual compilation with various E.V.E. 7-4 mods. For now, enjoy!

Oh wow! Now this is something I wasn't expecting to see! I appreciate seeing that people still care about this little pack 3 years down the line, brings a tear to my eye  

[spacecookie]

My favourite visuals pack is back Thank you very much !

[Captain Burrito]

Finally! Nothing ever quite matched the lightweight awesomeness of BA. You're doing the good work my man.

[Captain Burrito]

I thought I'd never see this again, it's the only visual pack I've wanted.

Wait, It's not on CKAN!? Oh, It looks so good, but I don't want a messy gamedata folder! Is it possible you'll add this to CKAN?

Back on track... Is it possible you'll add BARv6 to the CKAN index for easy, quick installation?

[Captain Burrito]

I just realized I replied to this thread already back in August because I was so stoked. On that install however some mods broke, so I was out again for a while having never tried BAR. Then I came back when the mods were fixed and saw this mod and replied again.

 

...Unless there are *two* Captain Burritos in these parts...

It's just a bunch of EVE configs so it'll work fine. Also please don't beg for mod updates.

[EdwardB3020]

Most of your mod dependencies are updated for the 1.4x and 1.5x updates of the game. The reason why this does not work in Kerbal Space Program 1.5 is because during update 1.4.0 the team changed the unity engine to the most recent version. Another reason why this does not work for both 1.4x and 1.5x is because that it is probably one unity engine behind. Therefore @themaster401 Could you please update this mod to work for either Kerbal Space Program 1.4x or optionally 1.5x? Both 1.5x and 1.4x use the same unity engine.

That doesn't affect the compatibility of the mod in this case. Also, why reply to an 8 month old reply?

I tested it out myself. It does not work

[Deckard]

@EdwardB3020 It's true that installing it out of the box doesn't work, but with some manual effort you can make it work yourself.  Just install all the latest versions of the dependencies individually, copy the other GameData folders (Joolrings, RealSolarSystem, BoulderCo) and the various .cfg files from each mod, and it should work.  The sharedassets9 file has to be omitted or the game can't load and the volumetric clouds need to be turned off via alt+n in game otherwise they render all blocky (I didn't like those anyway).  Other than that, follow those steps and you'll have some basic BA features.

A new release would be nice, though, so people didn't have to go through all that and to make the clouds work, if you're into that.  While some like other visual packs, I enjoy this one because of the clear, vibrant colors and bright phases of nearby planets and moons.  I haven't been able to find anything other than Better Atmospheres that feature those, so I'm glued here.

I know Im reviving an old thread here... but is there any hopes of this mod making a comeback?  I rather liked the unrealistic dust clouds on Minmus and the effects it brought to all of the other bodies.
