[Lucaspec72]

Thanks for the tip ^^

[AustralianKerbal]

Hi! is there a GitHub for this mod? because the Spacedock download does not work and leads me to a 404 Error when i click Download

Thanks!

[OrbitalManeuvers]

I installed Calm Nebula tonight, and it's beautiful! Sci-fi sauce in the sky. Already downloaded the other two. Thanks for the great work!

[OrbitalManeuvers]

am I being paranoid by completely deleting one before trying another? idk how sigma would otherwise know which to use ... is there a smoother way to switch between them between runs?

[Suhett]

Thank you very much! Calm Nebula is a great substitute to Stock and Astronomers Skybox! I keep recommending it to every player!

@Poodmund can i use this as a dependancy in my mod SPUR and like bundle it in the gamedata folder?

[Poodmund]

Why? Just let users decide what skybox they would like to use themselves.

If you have personal recommendations the best way is just to list them in your OP of your release forum thread. If you bundle other mods unnecessarily it just causes issues for people, for example, if they were already using another skybox that they prefer.

List it as a suggestion or recommendation in CKAN, but please do NOT bundle it

Really Like the "Calm Nebula Skybox" but I have one question: Could you make the nebulae bigger so that on saves with other star systems, when you zoom out really far the nebulae don't disappear?

[Radar_Contact]

Is it working with RSS? Should it look like this?

How do you make the skybox brighter? I can hardly see the blue/red nebulas? Thanks.

[Poodmund]

Are you using Distant Object Enhancer?

[miklkit]

Your skyboxes look great and worked great until I installed Editor Extensions Redux and its dependencies.  Then the auto dimmer started working too good and it ended up with a solid black sky.

So I deleted EER and the problem persisted.  Ended up deleting your skyboxes and DOE as well, then reinstalling them.  The problem persisted.  Went into the gamedata folder and deleted everything from EER found there, and the problem persists. 

My workaround now is to install your skybox and DOE, turn the brightness up to 100% and turn off the dimmer, then leave and delete DOE.  This gives a good looking skybox that does not dim to black.  Leaving DOE installed causes the black sky somehow.  Thought you should know.

[Poodmund]

Yes, it's a feature of DOE. It has nothing to do with these skyboxes.

[miklkit]

Eh?  Having a completely black sky all the time would seem to negate the need for any skybox.  Is there any other way to adjust the brightness of your skyboxes?

[Poodmund]

If you have an issue with DOE's dynamic brightness feature I would suggest you take it up with the mod author for their advice. Or you could just disable that feature or uninstall DOE(?).

[miklkit]

Ok, so DOE is the only way to adjust the brightness of skyboxes.  And yes, deleting DOE is the only workaround so far. 

[Lisias]

Hi! DOE's maintainer here.

Currently, there's a bug on DOE (scheduled to be fixed soon™) that, once fixed, I suspect will prevent the current workaround from working after DOE is uninstalled.

I'm trying to figure out where the current skybox is persisted on KSP itself, so you guys can change the value directly and then avoiding the need to install and deinstall DOE - as it will eventually stop (mis)behaving in the way you expect from it.

[SilentHash]

Hey there, random question not really related to this mod. I have the deep star map skybox installed and it looks great, but I wanted to ask how you get the sun (Kerbol) to look like that? I remember having it like that years ago but with my most recent play through it's the only thing that's not how I wish it was!

• If you want to use multiple skyboxes on your install (1 per game save only) delete the file GameData\PoodsSkyboxes\*SkyboxName*\OtherSkyboxBlocker.cfg out of all of my skybox mod folders that you install.

How do I select a skybox for my game save in that case?

[Poodmund]

I can't remember, sorry, I wrote that over 4 years ago.

[italon]

it would be so amazing if someone could  remake these, upscale them or just edit the stars so they're less "blocky" and more pointy.

[Abu Dhabi Dude]

Interestingly, I found out (by mistake!) that this skybox in combination with the NGC3372 skybox, creates a really nice effect.

 

Thank you for your work on this one.

[corrupted_zee]

Calm Nebula looks quite nice.
