For those wondering, the mod is not compatible with 1.8 unfortunately. A pink square appears stuck to your ship if you have this mod installed.

Well that answers my Reddit post here, Thanks:

Not only that, but it also spams NRE's in the console like crazy.

I think it might be related to the change to Unity 2019 engine.

Yeah a lot of mods broke because of the change.

Just chiming in about how much I miss this mod.

It's actually breaking the game for me because I don't want to do anything that might look good enough to screenshot, and without PS, screenshots look like crap to me now.

Sorry to ask but will this version be updated? I know there's the other 'version' linked above, but it's not on CKAN and that is what I prefer to use rather than doing it the manual way (sorry).

Hi everyone !

My planet shine add light on my ships but no color at all. I tried to move all settings but all I can do is modify luminosity. Even at 90km above Ocean on day light.

I play on 1.7.3, 2.5 scale with rescale, and on KSRSS (Kerbin Size Real Solar System).

So did I miss something like a special config because of KSRSS or something like that ?

Thanks for you help

Necroing an old thread.

I've pulled the latest from @prestja's git repo and brought this mod up to date for KSP 1.12.3.  I've reached out to @prestja in his thread to offer to resume maintenance.  Given the last time it was updated was 2019, unless I hear otherwise I'm going to go ahead and release a new version, and reclaim maintenance of this mod.

New release:  v0.2.6.4
- Recompiled for KSP 1.12.3
- Papa_Joe resumes maintenance.  Many thanks to Prestja for keeping this mod alive in my absense!
- Refactored some code for newer C# styles and .NET 4.8
- Revised build pipeline to match PapaJoe's multi mod build pipeline.
 

  Edit:  corrected version.  Seem we had some version conflicts in the past.  Bumped to to 0.2.6.4.  Hopefully that is clean.

New version is on my GitHub, shown in the OP.
@HebaruSan  Just a heads up.  For the purposes of CKAN, I've resumed maintenance, and a new version is on my Github.

Corrected versioning info to reflect a clean version going forward.

Prestja FWIW is/was one of the maintainers on Kopernicus.  I believe he's just busy with real life/school...  happens to the best of us some days.  Glad to see you picking this up.

Indeed.  It happened to me as well.  Life is now allowing me to spend time on modding again.  I've heard from @prestja and am resuming support of this mod.

I installed your new version 2.6.4 to my running RSS/RP-1 game.  Launched the game and went to fly one of the existing satellites to find it had a purple/pink square artifact attached to the top.  Looks like what you see in the first image here: https://imgur.com/a/6sau9mg  from  weird pink square keeps appearing. 

Reverted back to 2.6.3 and the pink artifact is no longer there.

I am also seeing this pink square on the cockpit of my Blackbird, have Mk2 Expansion, EVE/AVP and Galaxies Unbound installed if that helps

me too...  I was playing for a couple hours before it appeared.

Oh, that's excellent news. Can you maybe look at the problem of Planet Shine not working on the new kerbal models? We were discussing that a couple of pages ago in prestja's thread.

Iamsodarncool's message there:

Hi, I don't have any experience coding KSP mods, but I'm a full time Unity dev so I think I can help.

The problem here is that lights have a culling mask that determines which layers of objects their light affects. Kerbals and ships are on different layers, and the PlanetShine lights do not have the Kerbal layer in their culling mask.

According to the KSP modding documentation on layers, Kerbals are on layer 16. So I think this bug would be fixed by changing line 124 of PlanetShine.cs from light.cullingMask = (1 << 0); to light.cullingMask = (1 << 0) | (1 << 16);. However if that doesn't work (the modding docs seem pretty out of date so I wouldn't be surprised) you can write a script to find the layer of the Kerbal renderer components and use that number instead of 16.

I deleted the old pictures from my imgur account, so they will not show there anymore. If you need new ones, just let me know.

Glad to see an update for this! I also got the purple square artifact immediately after downloading the new version, so you may want to look at that.

Pink square for me too.

I discussed with @prestja the issue of PlanetShine not working with EVA Kerbals.  Is this the issue you describe?  Photos will help.  As for the pink square, I got a report of that in GitHub.  From research it seems that if you do a clean install of PlanetShine (delete any previouls versions in your GameData folder) it works.  Let me know it that is not true.

Yes. The issue is pretty easy to see if you EVA a kerbal. The craft that you EVA'd from will receive the reflected Planet Shine light just fine, but the kerbal itself will not.

Planet Shine on and off, you can clearly see that the light doesn't show on kerbal in either case. Every single suit variant is affected.

And on top of that, that pink square issue doesn't get fixed with a clean install. I just did a clean install.

Ok found the issue with the Pink square.  Unity changed the hierarchy of the shaders with version 2017, so it needed the proper path to locate the required shader.  That explains why the problem has been around since 1.8...  I'll fire off a release with this pronto.

 

v0.2.6.5 Feb 20, 2022
- Corrected pink square by changing an incorrect shader path for "Particles/Additive.  now "Legacy Shaders/Particles/Additive"
  Unity changed the location of the shader in the object hierarchy as of Unity 2017.
 

Looking into the kerbal eva issues now.  I'm trying to characterize the issue, so images of kerbals EVA may help.  looking at the code, the shine appears to affect only the currently active vessel, so any other vessels in the immediate vicinity would be unaffected.  If I'm understanding the code correctly, then pictures of a kerbal as the main focus and the vessel nearby as the main focus would help.

My pictures above do exactly that. I'm controlling the kerbal in these pictures. As far as controlling active vessel does, it has nothing to do with the craft that you are currently controlling, you can control anything in the scene, but only kerbals will be unaffected by the Planet Shine. Everything else will be illuminated properly.
