I'm really not going to look into this if it happens only when cheating a craft into orbit.

The little dot on the surface happened when I launched a craft legitimately. I don't know about the Mun one, I only noticed it when I was testing stuff, which was cheated into orbit to save time.

Does anyone else have this issue with EVE? I've tried just disabling city lights in the config menu and it doesn't seem to do anything or help. Any help would be appreciated!

[Daniel Prates]

If I understood correctly, this enhanced eve is being tested and the idea is that it will one day replace 'regular' eve, right? What is the progress on that?

Good to know; just to confirm, is this intention no longer the case?

Ah yeah, that's no longer the case so I will change it.

That is already the case as of a few days ago

Oh goody goody! I saw today an update on ckan and imagined it would be that

You probably need config files. Get them from the original E.V.E. thread or from other visual packs - many of them come with E.V.E. configs.

i see everything else but not the 3d clouds

[Selphadur]

How do you make cloud volume as in pictures? After installing Spectra cload layers are flat. Thanks!

[hypervelocity]

whoa, great performance improvements! I will give this a go once there's an RSSVE build working off of this for RSS

Hi! I'm getting consistent hard crashes with this mod on Linux. The screen turns black, game is unresponsive but audio keeps playing on a loop, can't do anything but reboot. This does not happen without the mod, nor with with EVE 1.10.1-3 (the latest "maintenance" version). no, NEW INFO at the bottom!

This occurs consistently a short while after launching a rocket (around the time when leaving the atmosphere), when changing to map view, staging, or just moving the camera a lot.

    KSP: 1.11.1.3066 (LinuxPlayer), max graphics settings.
    Mods: EVE-Redux1.11.2.1 , Spectra 1.4.0, Kerbal Alarm Clock.

I found this in the logs, the only error(s) but not placed last on the log, may be related:

Uploading Crash Report
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at Atmosphere.CloudsPQS+<DelayedCheckForSphereInactive>d__28.MoveNext () [0x00046] in <568c46e2e01a42a8a864ad4995b1e66e>:0

(same message repeats several times)
 ----------------------------------------------

EDIT: This crash also happens with EVE maintenance 1.10.1-3 and original EVE 1.8.0.2. So, EVE in general. The difference is that with Redux this happens consistently after a while in the atmosphere, while with the others I can launch and deorbit some stuff before it crashes.

These crashes never happen without EVE, even with Scatterer installed which I had been using alone without issues, before replacing it with EVE, and which I reinstalled to check if it would ever crash by launching and deorbiting stuff and it didn't. I did find this in the logs after using it:

------------------------------------------------

SECOND EDIT: I did some more testing, all with EVE-Redux1.11.2.1. By using only the following config (with the relevant textures ofc) the game did not crash after several launches to LKO and long deorbits:

            }
        }
    }
}

 

However, when I replaced that config with this one, the game crashed during the first launch, before landing:

Sorry, so is This to Replace EVE (Delete EVE and Install This Performance EVE) or To Replace Configs (Delete BoulderCO and Install Performance EVE)
Also is It Compatible With Spectra?

You still need configs.

Also yes, but if you're using Spectra, delete BoulderCo

[AmateurAstronaut1969]

Ok Thats Great Thanks

 

[Hyomoto]

I'd like to throw my cards in the "I'm not seeing volumetric clouds" hat as well.  I tried Spectra and Astronomer's pack and neither of them display volumetric clouds.  It looks like Spectra doesn't have layerVolume defined, but Astronomer's does and still nothing.  I also tried the original BoulderCo and ... still nothing.  For clarity, as far as I can tell, all other effects are present.  There are the 2d layer clouds, and when you pas near to them they fade out as if the particles are being generated, but there are no particles.

Is there an option somewhere I'm overlooking to turn them off(or more importantly on)?  I'm using Scatterer.0.0723 and EVE-Redux1.11.2.1.

Edit: Probably should've done this first, but I threw out all mods except for BoulderCo and EVE and ... no volumetric clouds.  So, I'm really not sure why they aren't showing but it doesn't seem to be a mod conflict. Here is the KSP.log if that helps.

Having an issue with _BuildManager.dll on EVE version 1.11.2.1, on KSP 1.11.1 with expansions. On every game start, I get this in my logs, and it seems (maybe? I'm really not sure) that it *might* somehow cause a big heap of issues for other mods down the line. Or not at all... Is this something anyone else has seen?

I have tried this both on a heavily modded install and on one with relatively few mods (mostly utilities like EEX, along with EVE and scatterer on both installs). Both installs get the same error in the same place in the log.

Error reads:

I'm having an 'issue' with the planet shadows. Whenever a moon enters the shadow of its host, it turns completely black. This does not happen in pure stock and I found out it's caused by EVE, respectively the stock planet configs. I don't know if this is intended. Can anyone tell me how I can change the configs to ensure this won't happen anymore? Example photo can be found here.

Like many others, i also can't get proper Volumetric Clouds. Damn shame, main reason I used eve in the past. Tried BoulderCo and Astronomer's Visual Pack. "Seperatly" Everything else works except the coulds.

How so?

Can you provide a screenshot?

[Hyomoto]

I'm not sure a screenshot is really necessary here? The issue is the volumetric clouds do not display, but the cloud layers are visible. That said, if it helps then here is a screen shot without volumetric clouds:

The cloud layers display, but the volumetric clouds do not.  It's hard to see in this picture because they aren't there, but the clouds overhead still fade out as if the volumetric ones were being drawn but they aren't.  Again, multiple texture packs, etc...

[ItsJustLuci]

could we get the ability to link particles to a sound? I really would love to make thunder, rain sounds and wind sound to spice up my visual overhaul

[Souptime]

So i downloaded this with spectra, and none of the clouds and poof on vall/pol/minmus shows up

Odd Shadow in Map View

I'm using EVE, AVP, and Scatterer, In map view when I zoom in magnification a shadow appears under the vessel and obscures the planet/moon. I can reproduce this on any planet I'm orbiting. (Issue occurs in game with stock EVE config as well)

Picture 1 is map view at closest zoom without the issue.

Picture 2 is the view at the zoom level the issues starts. The more I zoom in, the bigger the shadow gets,

Any thoughts on the cause and resolution?

Small update here.  Did a bunch of testing, including rolling back to previous versions to see when exactly volumetric clouds stopped showing up and the answer is... they didn't work with any version.  That seemed pretty suspect so I deleted settings.cfg and gave it a try again.  In which case the clouds did show up again.  So I went ahead and brought the game back up-to-date and again, clouds.  So finally, I reinstalled all of my mods and its not working again.  Dear lord.  So then I start painstakingly installing one mod at a time to figure out which one is the death boi.  Which, surprisingly ended up being the first mod I tried: Scatterer.  Next up, try installing every mod except Scatterer and sure enough ... same problem.  Alright.  What the literal hell?  So fiddle, fiddle, fiddle aaaaaand settings.  It's definitely a setting.  Resetting them back to default fixed the issue, but what the heck about them is causing this issue in the first place!  I'm invested now, how can I not keep going?  Reinstall scatterer, try again.  Clouds are there.  Hurray.  Fiddled with a few graphic settings to see if I could figure out which one was the culprit but nope.  So I have no idea what setting is breaking things, but it does seem to be a setting.

That's a very long-winded way of saying if your volumetric clouds aren't showing, you can try reverting your settings to default and then reenable them to see if that fixes the issue.
