A_Kuba Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 When is the mod expected to fully come out? Im aware that there might not be an exact date set for the release but I would really like to know how close the mod is to the full release.

It will be free when Blackrack is ready and posts the release version, not before...kinda like Gandalf never being late . 5 hours ago, A_Kuba said: When is the mod expected to fully come out?

It'll be released when Blackrack's ready and, for many of us, it'll be a welcome surprise when it does. The running joke throughout the forum is Soon™, meaning "whenever it happens". I'm sure that in your review of the last few pages you've seen the progress made and the wonderful examples from those who have contributed to Blackrack's Patreon. If you want to have it now, head over there and donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafni Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The pre-release works and looks amazing. I am happy to report I was surprised how little it impacted the game's performance on my rig. Running the old faithful 1080Ti and I get way more frames than I was expecting. Excellent job @blackrack I have a basic question that might be unrelated tho: those Auroras that people make, are they part of E.V.E configs or are they part of Scatterer configs?? I apologize for my ignorance. Same for this "glow" or faint dust that people sometimes use, do they use E.V.E or Scatterer for this?? Thanks in advance.

Both use EVE, you won't be able to mix them with the new clouds though, true volumetrics and the old style clouds don't render correctly together.

Not trying to mix anything myself here, I leave the config magic to you guys. Just something I always wondered, for my general understanding of what comes from where. As for incorporating other features etc, I am sure once it gets public all those nifty mod creators and config magicians will come up with all kinds of packs once more. Thanks again and have a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bQuest Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hope someone makes a custom Jool config to at least get us through until BlackRack releases the official (and perfect) one, I tried myself but I didn't get past the "Combine all other cloud layers to make the omega cloudmap" step. We were allowed to mess with the configs right? Just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to share and distribute your config changes as well (preferably as ModuleManager patches) but you just can't distribute any of my textures or modified versions of my textures, other than that, have fun!

Dafni Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 @blackrack et al., while I am "asking questions that I always wondered about"... is there a way to disable clouds (or other visual mods for that matter) in map view and/or the tracking station??

Best I can think of would be removing the layer2D, but that would also remove them in-flight from orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not advised to run any older cloud configs alongside the new volumetrics, there will be conflicts. Just dont do it (yet, wait for the AVP guys to incorporate the updated base mod and write their own configs) 1 hour ago, CatKing1179 said: Will Jool have the volumetric clouds? Eventually, yes, I would bet. Please keep in mind we are seeing an early access dev build, a work in progress so to speak. And, on top of what the final version of Blackracks own configs will bring, you will soon get other config packs like the AVP mentioned above. And I am sure we will see some amazing interpretations of Jool's atmo quite soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derden Kerman Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 What are the lowest benchmarks on the volumetric clouds? I have a gt1030 GDDR5 and while I doubt I could run it smoothly I was pleasantly surprised by parallax 2 so was hoping this could be similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs at I think 15-20 fps? I personally wouldn't recommend it to you with a gt 1030 (at least until it's in public release) because it has noticeable motion artifacts and some trailing/blurriness at lower framerates.

I personally wouldn't recommend it to you with a gt 1030 (at least until it's in public release) because it has noticeable motion artifacts and some trailing/blurriness at lower framerates. Yeah, as far as I know the mx150 is fairly comparable to the 1030 (it might be somewhat worse due to being optimized for a laptop). And yeah that was about what I got, 15-25, no parallax and all at default settings (so it may have been better with lower settings, but possibly worse with also parallax) - but I would add, those of us on cards like that are likely to kinda be used to framerates like that already (and the motion artifacts do go away when paused or simply not moving too fast so you can at least still get decent screenshots), and that test may have been further slowed down by external factors since the framerate was slightly lower in space far away from the volumetrics too. 3 hours ago, Derden Kerman said: What are the lowest benchmarks on the volumetric clouds? I have a gt1030 GDDR5 and while I doubt I could run it smoothly I was pleasantly surprised by parallax 2 so was hoping this could be similar Basically the final "what it came down to" of that test is on my laptop with a 2gb MX150 (also GDDR5) it was about a 30-40% reduction to framerate compared to the basic EVE redux, depending on whether you consider the high space fps reduction to have been evidence of an external factor to the slowdown or not.
