When I splash down on the oceans of a planet I made, this weird graphical bug occurs:

I see a couple issues. First, your fades aren't correct. ScaledVersion should be fully faded in before PQS starts to fade out. Assuming your PQS fadeStart/End are correct, then I suggest you use something like this:

Spoiler

		ScaledVersion
		{
			fadeStart = 90000
			fadeEnd = 110000
		}        
		PQS        
		{        
			fadeStart = 110000
			fadeEnd = 220000
			deactivateAltitude = 230000
		}

You can tweak those numbers, but you want ScaledVersion/fadeEnd to be equal to or less than PQS/fadeStart.

The second issue is you are using PQS materialType = AtmosphericExtra. That is ancient and is never really used anymore. And I don't think the textures in CTTP are compatible with it. The new shader that is pretty much used universally now is AtmosphericTriplanarZoomRotation. You should make that switch. Also, the Material subnode is going to have to change a bit because the one you are using doesn't appear to be completely compatible with AtmosphericTriplanarZoomRotation. The following is an example of a Material subnode that you can use as a template - it is from stock Moho. You can probably replace the textures with the ones from CTTP that you selected. You can also tweak whatever other numbers need adjusting to suit your needs.

Spoiler

			Material
			{
				factor = 7.73
				factorBlendWidth = 0.1
				factorRotation = 15
				saturation = 1
				contrast = 1
				tintColor = 1,1,1,0
				specularColor = 0.0754716992,0.0754716992,0.0754716992,0.200000003
				albedoBrightness = 1
				steepPower = 1
				steepTexStart = 0
				steepTexEnd = 200000
				steepTex = BUILTIN/MohoSteep
				steepTexScale = 1,1
				steepTexOffset = 0,0
				steepBumpMap = BUILTIN/MohoSteep_nrm
				steepBumpMapScale = 1,1
				steepBumpMapOffset = 0,0
				steepNearTiling = 2000
				steepTiling = 20
				lowTex = BUILTIN/MohoLow
				lowTexScale = 1,1
				lowTexOffset = 0,0
				lowTiling = 100000
				midTex = BUILTIN/MohoMid
				midTexScale = 1,1
				midTexOffset = 0,0
				midTiling = 100000
				midBumpMap = BUILTIN/MohoMid_nrm
				midBumpMapScale = 1,1
				midBumpMapOffset = 0,0
				midBumpTiling = 100000
				highTex = BUILTIN/MohoMid
				highTexScale = 1,1
				highTexOffset = 0,0
				highTiling = 100000
				lowStart = 0
				lowEnd = 0.3
				highStart = 1
				highEnd = 1
				globalDensity = 1
				fogColorRampScale = 1,1
				fogColorRampOffset = 0,0
				planetOpacity = 0
				oceanFogDistance = 1000
			}

I really don't think the low and high textures even work. At least they have never worked for me. I always just used the midTex, which then gets applied to the entire planet. The mid is also the only one that uses a bump map, which I've never understood. If you can't get lowTex and highTex to work, then just omit them.

There could be other issues with your config that I didn't see. I stopped looking when I got to AtmosphericExtra. Hopefully the rest of it is good.

EDIT

I just noticed something else - your planet has no template. It is recommended that you always use a template. A template just uses a stock planet as a starting place, then you change whatever needs changing rather than starting from scratch. This assures that there is nothing critical omitted from your config because you didn't know or forgot to include it. Your planet just inherits the missing item from the template.

Since your planet includes an ocean, I suggest using Laythe as the template. Just add the following:

@Kopernicus
{
	Body
	{
		Template
		{
			name = Laythe
			removeAllPQSMods = True
		}

New in this latest version release-204:

1.) Fixed the antispam logic in the messaging system for kerbals near lethal scatters. No more spam!

2.) Added eratta note about BetterDensity and lethalScatters/heatemitters. These don't work well toghether, and possibly more things with BD, as that facility is pretty broken. Really, avoid BetterDensity and use in game density facilities when possible. Consider it deprecated.

See Known Bugs & Caveats for known bugs.

This really helped, but due to the "Laythe" template, my planet has an atmosphere, so I just decided to add a really thin one instead, and that should work well.

Edit: I was able to completely get rid of the atmosphere by turning off "Enabled" in an atmosphere node.

That works, or I think you can also add removeAtmosphere = True to the template.

Another issue - When making gas giants, the gas giant seems to completely black out around the star. No matter what the config I did for the gas giant, it just won't work.

I'm not seeing anything obviously wrong in the configs. I'd like to test something, however. What happens if you try to place another Jool in Ignis' place? That is, let Ignis inherit all the settings from Jool except for name and location. If that works, then maybe we can start to narrow on what the problem might be. Try temporarily replacing your Ignis config with the following, and then report what happens:

Spoiler

@Kopernicus
{
	Body
	{
		name = Ignis
		Template
		{
			name = Jool
		}	
		Properties
		{
			displayName = Ignis
		}
		Orbit
		{
			referenceBody = Deben
			semiMajorAxis = 1.197E+11
		}
	}
}

By the way, we really shouldn't be having this discussion here in the Kopernicus thread. These are issues with your mod that we are talking about and not issues with Kopernicus itself. You should either start your own mod thread, or report back to me in a private message.

New in this latest version release-205:

1.) Fixed Kittopia heightmap exporting to use the proper range, stopping some heightmaps from clipping and other oddities.

2.) Added/edited a lot of the Kittopia export descriptions in Orbit and Atmosphere nodes with the help of our resident scientific genius, @OhioBob

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but is it possible to use Kopernicus to create a sun that can flicker? I'm considering making a system pack with a pulsar, and having the flickering starlight would be an awesome effect.
