[1.9-1.12.x] EVE-Redux: Performance-enhanced EVE + maintenance (v1.11.7.1 - 09/09/2022)

[Adiri]

Could anyone help me, Im trying to get 3D auroras, such as in this pictureIm not really sure where I could start but im assuming EVE would be a good place

[Stmbird]

I don't know why the game is stuck on the loading page at startup after I install this mod.

When I removed other mods and only run this mod alone, the problem is still exist.

Could anyone help me?

Very nice photos!

You’ll need a configs pack like SVE, Spectra, or AVP

[Virtualgenius]

Can you use the original configs that where packed into Boulderco Folder from Rbray

Should be fine, yup.

[Motokid600]

Is the 1,8 version still valid? I noticed that clouds haven't been creating surface shadows for as long as recent memory. Possibly since using this Redux version. Ive got the full suite of visual mods with AVP 8k. No tufx. I remember years ago clouds created shadows on the ground. And every now and then I see Reddit posts of images containing said shadows. Makes me wonder why they're missing from my install. Maybe just an AVP thing?

Check if AVP has not disabled those cloud shadows on purpose (they used to be super slow pre-redux). With that said the cloud shadows work in this version and you shouldn't use the 1.8 version.

It's an old EVE bug that probably is not going to be fixed because anyone who understands why it happens is long gone.

The good news is it's harmless.  You can cease worrying about it.

Nice.

[Staticalliam7]

I'm working on a modpack for low end pcs, would you mind if i used this (with credit of course)

 

edit: I'll just use this as a dependency since it is open source

Edited September 26, 2021 by Staticalliam7

[Krazy1]

So I installed 1.11.3.1 on KSP 1.12.2 (ignoring the loading NRE) and it doesn't seem to do anything. I clicked the EVE icon and it says: "No config! Please add a config with the content of "EVE_CLOUDS{}" to populate." 

The OP doesn't have a "Dependencies" section. I used CKAN and it has several "recommendations" but no required extra mods or config thing. Doesn't it ship with a default config?

This doesn't come with a config, in the OP is the link to the original EVE configs, or you can use one from a visual pack (Spectra, AVP, etc)

Ok I loaded the stock EVE config with CKAN and now it works... very nice. Except for Eve. It's just a solid purple sphere. No land, clouds, oceans... nothing.  I'm having deva vu. I tried this mod a year ago and had the same problem. Nobody fixed this I guess? I'll check old posts.

Update: I can't find any old post about this Eve problem. Anybody know how to fix it?

Screenshots and logs would likely let people better understand the problem you're having.

Hi, I have an issue when both Scatterer and EVE are installed, I get flickering dark/light areas at the edges of Kerbin, like so:

 

While playing, they are a lot more obvious than the screenshot as the flickering area stretches over most of the space/planet edge, they start appearing approximately after climbing above 120km, but not when high enough for the clouds to change to the distant versions seen from high altitude.  If only EVE, or only Scatterer, are installed, this doesn't happen, the settings for both these mods are defaults, and my installed mods are:

I get this too but I assumed it was because I was playing at 10x scale.

Just figured everyone "should" have the same issue with Eve. It's the stock config and I didn't change anything.

OK. Well, the "Invalid Name!" message is misleading. The cloud layer with that name has simply been loaded already. Suggest changing it to "Loaded" 

Opaque Eve clouds makes landing much more difficult...

Spoiler

Sort of changes the balance for Career missions to Eve. But it's an interesting challenge. An M700 resource scan doesn't help much.  Kerbnet doesn't give a persistent planet-wide view.  There's Scansat mod but I don't really want to add new parts and it still doesn't give a direct map overlay so it doesn't work with Trajectories. I can drop a bunch of pins in Kerbnet I guess.

New issue: I got exception spam in the Tracking Station when I clicked the EVE icon. I exited quickly so KSP didn't crash, but that's usually what happens when the log gets big enough.

Honestly I think you're a bit too worried about the exceptions, they're a fact of life for modded installs and most of the time they don't actually do anything.  Your game isn't at risk of crashing.

It's up to you, I don't make the BoulderCo configs and you can make your own configs with lighter coverage. As for the "invalid name", no idea what that's about, I will check it out next time.
