PlanetShine is not optimized very well

This happens without Parallax, I'm fairly sure. If not, it's something planet shine sided

After some more testing, this is definitely the case. I thought it was Parallax's fault, but nope, definitely Planetshine. Such a shame, I love the  lighting effects it brings to the game. Appreciate the response!

But i want to use it in 1.8

This mod is for 1.9 and 1.10 only. It will not work on any other version

My terrain looks very wobly, its constantly moving a little bit back and forth like everything is shaking a bit.
Is this a known bug?

Can you send a video?

Your file path is odd.

C:/Users/alexwang/Downloads/Kerbal.Space.Program.v1.10.1/Kerbal.Space.Program.v1.10.1/Kerbal Space Program Shared Horizons/Kerbal Space Program Shared HGameData/Kopernicus/Config/System.cfg

Why is Kerbal Space Program in your downloads folder?

The file path is being detected wrongly, and this will be fixed in a future update. For now, please rename your Kerbal Space Program Shared Horizons folder to just Kerbal Space Program and see if that works

hello, i have a weird bug that looks like the tessellation is constantly turning on and off

Very odd, your vessel seems to be in a constant state of unpacking: 

Unpacking eve rover boat Probe

This isn't Parallax related because the light on your craft is changing as well as the ground (this would not happen if it was just Parallax)

You have a lot of other mods which is making this difficult to debug, as well as this being spammed in the log, probably from the offending mod:

VesselView.VesselViewPlugin.OnGUI, settings is null

i managed to isolate rescale as the reason for it

here is a log with only rescale, parallax and their dependencies and it looks like it gives out specific errors from parallax

Parallax loads properly with that log

Didn't work. So, I think I understand, basically Parallax can't find its dependencies? 

 

So I wait for the new update to fix it, right?

I have been playing with this mod for a while, and i really like it. however, there are a few (small, visual and non-game breaking) glitches that I noticed:

I know this not a proper bug report (lacking logs and stuff), but these small glitches happened a handful of time over the course of weeks, I will try to get my hands on a log report next time it happens. My install has other mods, but none that modifies planet terrain or that is too disruptive of the stock game.

finally, a few thoughts/questions, given I am really impressed by what you did and achieved:

  • is it possible/sensible/worth your time to apply the parallax technology to comets and asteroids?
  • similarly, to cloud textures?
  • similarly, to ocean textures?

Underwater, the terrain does not render properly. I could totally see this being something parallax was not meant for, but I'm curious to know if it could/is meant to support underwater terrain.

Noted. This is a conflict with Scatterer, so I'll need to try and find a way around that

On some planets, lighting is not applied correctly. On a few occasions, the surface looked fine except for the quad where the craft was landed, which looked much darker. (forgot to take picture of this bug, my bad).

This could be an error in how Quads are calculated by KSP. If it happens again, write down the latitude and longitude and see if it persists after reloading / restarting

36 minutes ago, vinix said:

On another occasion, while I was landing on Eloo, the quads close to the ship were a lot darker than the surrounding one. But it only affected terrain eastward of the craft position. However, this glitch disapeares if you zoom out enough or use the map view (but comes back when zooming in again or switching back to vessel view)

Same thing here - Let me know what the latitude and longitude of that location is because it must be region specific

Thank you for the bug reports, I'll try and look into these before the next update

I would need to write another shader because asteroids and comets don't work using quads, and are instead one big part (I think). This could be done in the future but it's not something I'm working on right now

37 minutes ago, vinix said:

similarly, to cloud textures?

I would need to write another shader for this, too, but yes clouds could be tessellated. The only issue comes down to UV precision. I'm not sure how EVE gets around this - it's something I stumbled into when developing detail textures for the next update

I don't need to - Install Scatterer and it already does that

This mod is working perfectly fine in my windows install, but recently I decided to start migrating to linux again with most of my stuff, when I install KSP with steam in linux and copy over my GameData folder, I get pink textures and NRE spam. Maybe case sensitive files?

This mod is working perfectly fine in my windows install, but recently I decided to start migrating to linux again with most of my stuff,

Linux is still not supported. I'm working on it for the next update

I am a little bit confused on which one to download, only parallax(2 MB) or parallax stock config.(1 GB)??

If you are playing with stock planets, you need both. You also need Kopernicus bleeding edge and modular flight integrator as dependancies.

Small development update :)

Optimization - Biplanar Mapping

unknown.png

Now that I'm back home, development has sped up. You'll all be happy to hear about the performance improvements coming in this update.

Those who have been following development closely will know that I've moved away from Triplanar mapping (what the stock KSP shader uses) to Biplanar mapping. Visually, the two methods are almost identical however the massive benefit is in the performance!

gfx06.gif

Thanks to https://iquilezles.org/www/articles/biplanar/biplanar.htm?fbclid=IwAR2kgAFfQ_QY8-Cc-UaH2vQriqv6Qfl-cFlLvRLemZ7A4a-ea6zrscpI36Y 's implementation of biplanar mapping, I managed to extend it beyond just diffuse maps - The shader can also use normal maps using this technique.

Using Biplanar mapping I have managed to reduce the texture samples by a further 33% across the board. The GPU will do slightly more arithmetic to calculate the texture colour, but this is vastly offset by the reduced sample count.

With this performance uplift I have used some of the extra wiggle room to add detail textures to the surfaces of the planets. I still have most of the planets to do, but these are the changes coming to the config:

Textures:

  • detailTexLow
  • detailTexMid
  • detailTexHigh
  • detailNormalLow
  • detailNormalMid
  • detailNormalHigh
  • detailTexSteepLow
  • detailTexSteepMid
  • detailTexSteepHigh
  • detailNormalLow
  • detailNormalMid
  • detailNormalHigh

Properties:

  • detailResolution - The resolution of the detail textures for the current planet - this is important because they must all be the same size!
  • detailOffset - Height on the displacement map at which the detail textures display
  • detailPower - Blending power between detail and no detail
  • detailRange - Range at which the detail texture is visible
  • detail<Low/Mid/High/SteepLow/SteepMid/SteepHigh>Scale - Scale of the detail textures

Even with the introduction of the new detail textures, performance is still much faster than Parallax 1.1.1 (the current version). I'm also working on MacOSX and Linux support, and I hope to get it working in time so you guys can use the mod too :)

Feature - Collision

I'm sure most of you are looking forward to this - Collisions! Disclaimer: Not tried and tested ingame. This is not a confirmed feature.

By casting a ray from the ship towards the ground, I can sample the textures at that position and perform the biplanar coordinates calculation to get the displacement and vertex normal direction. I can then move a plane in the normal direction to push the craft's wheels up and down. Here's a demo of this in action:

Please note that this is a gif and the framerate is not representative of the framerate you should expect. I've tested 50 orbs rolling at the same time and maintaining 60fps

I look forward to being able to release this to you all :)
