I saw this with the CKAN badge on SpaceDock and was trying to decide whether to index it as a separate mod or an adoption or something else. Ah yeah, that's no longer the case so I will change it. What exactly does "indexing it as an adoption" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks! 2 minutes ago, blackrack said: What exactly does "indexing it as an adoption" mean? In this case it means giving you the EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements identifier, which we would usually only want to do if it doesn't step on the previous maintainer's toes.

Ah, @R-T-B is already onboard with this, so in that case we can just do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrbitalManeuvers Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm currently using build 1.11.1.1 on KSP 1.10.1 (this isn't confusing at all) - do you recommend using build 1.11.2.1 on KSP 1.10.1 or only on KSP 1.11.1.1.1.1.11.1.1?

How deep do the oceans go? Hmm... My thoughts with this base was more of a sheltered outpost with living quarters, isru section and science station. It also features a power plant section, quadcopter scouting vessel and a ramp to unload a small skiff. It has an underwater viewing deck aswell with and airlock to go swimming. Landing was fine, launching not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dok_377 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) @blackrack Eclipses don't shade crafts anymore? I think the previous version used to do that. Update: oh, I get it now. It only shades crafts if they are not in "scaled space", i.e. in low orbit. Is there a way to make it work in any situation or it will also introduce some graphical glitches?

Alright, well to answer your previous question 9 hours ago, dok_377 said: Is there a way to make it work in any situation or it will also introduce some graphical glitches? It can be made to work from anywhere, but there's two points there to think about: 1) Deciding at which distance to disable it, as having all eclipses being calculated for every planet is overkill, disabling in scaledSpace is kind of a simple way around this. 2) I was under the impression the game already disables the light when you are in the shadow of the planet even in scaledSpace, is this not the case? It doesn't look same as EVE eclipses as it disables the main light but the ambient light remains, in fact the problem with EVE eclipses is that they just darken everything, even secondary lights, emissive shaders, ambient light etc when the correct way to do it would be to properly integrate them in shadows (probably in a future version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cabin lights were not even showing, only thing I could see was my flag. The whole craft was black. I thought maybe it was Restock mod, since I just added that mod in also.

Yeah, it works exactly like this. But with one quirk: the light is only disabled per SOI. So, for example, if you are in the orbit of the Mun - the Kerbin shadow will not fall on the craft. Only the Mun's shadow will disable light on the craft. But solar panels will still be blocked. It looks kind of funny and I actually didn't know about this until yesterday either. So these kind of eclipses are not possible even in the stock game, unfortunately. 9 hours ago, blackrack said: in fact the problem with EVE eclipses is that they just darken everything, even secondary lights, emissive shaders, ambient light etc I did see that this is the case. Even the strongest lights get blocked by the shadow shader. Well, I guess there is not much that can be done here without a massive rewrite. Thanks for the answer.

Not a massive rewrite, I already do it for Scatterer's caustics, they're integrated in the shadow system, I just have to take some time to do it.

That was literally the first thing I checked. It's nowhere near close enough to make a shadow (not in front of the sun and the orbit is not even aligned properly) and this is only happening in local space. It also does this, apparently: Happens right after I cheat a craft into orbit and again, only in local space. And if it doesn't happen right away - I can just go into the tracking station and then back to craft. Interestingly enough, just opening the config menu via alt+0 and pressing apply makes this stuff go away immediately. Until the next scene reload, that is.
