Does Parallax change the planets size or no?

It doesn't, and I'm unsure where you got that notion from.

[cube27]

Okay, thanks.

[cube27]

Also, how do you enable Tessellation?

Make sure your terrain shader quality is set to Ultra

If it happens on Minmus it'll happen on Vall too. They are the only planets that use the ice shader which uses the background texture

I know this is super old at this point, but have there been any updates on this by chance? Is this something Parallax or Waterfall would need to change for a more permanent fix? I'm still seeing some plume weirdness over Minmus and Vall.

As a temporary fix, you should be able to disable the distortion effects in the waterfall settings: https://github.com/post-kerbin-mining-corporation/Waterfall/blob/78da340533d0e50b69ff2878d2028b1863f682c8/GameData/Waterfall/WaterfallSettings.cfg#L27

This doesn't seem to have any effect for me. Looking at the waterfall source code it doesnt seem like that particular setting ever gets referenced at all.

just a question : do trees have collision, because it sure doesn't look like it.  I enabled collision in settings and it still did not work, any help would be appreciated

just saw that the end of the page is where the new responses are

This has been mentioned (somewhere back amongst the hundred+ pages of this topic), and -- IIRC -- the answer is no, trees don't have collision; there are practical limitations preventing this.

Use the Lifeless Eve patch found on the original post.

[Philip1]

Do you know what to do with this problem?

you know it translate codes for intel to what ever it is called with Mac. So would could it be?

I am getting this message when loading Kerbal Space Program:

Parallax error

your computer does not support shaders

please refer to the system requirements on the forum

page. 

I use a MacBook pro m1.

This has been reported to help massively boost framerates, and I advise you share these steps with anyone suffering from the same problem. These are the settings I use to ensure the game runs smoothly:

Step 1 - Update your NVIDIA graphics drivers

Step 2 - Replace the settings.cfg in your Kerbal Space Program folder with this: https://mega.nz/file/JEEgTZ5a#BDhp8Vm8WvcbYd3lO2VCIg_3_8xr1I4ns8-He8pQ_PY

Step 3 - Use these NVIDIA settings:

• Right click on your desktop
• If on Windows 11, choose "show more options", otherwise see next step
• Click "NVIDIA Control Panel",
• Click "Manage 3D Settings".
• Click on the "Program Settings" tab
• Find, or add, the KSP_x64.exe in your Kerbal Space Program folder
• Use the following settings. Not all of these settings will appear for you, but that is fine

 

Hi im trying to follow these steps but the link to the setting.cfg file doesn't work anymore. Can @Gameslinx or anyone else share a new one please?

I'm not sure if anybody saw my last post, it was waiting to be approved for a long time. When lifting off from KSC, roughly between 8km and 11km, I am getting flickering tree scatters level with the craft to the horizon. They disappear above this altitude. It's only the deciduous trees, not the grass or flowers or anything. I have tried reloading the packages (I use CKAN) and reset the configs and it's still the same. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions for config changes?

Eve has always felt alien to me so I wanted to go that route with its foliage and 'fantastical' nature. Laythe has a breathable atmosphere so I wanted to give it primitive nature; some mushrooms, grass and ferns. Otherwise, they would be kind of boring with just different rocks. I like to think that the mod has a lot of potential and I don't want it wasted by just modelling a load of stones

well as nice as that is, it would be nicer to have an option of having eve and laythe without any life on them, i saw a way to remove the bubbles off eve on the orignal post, anything to do the same to remove grass and mushrooms from laythe?

how to do that, but with laythe?

I don't know of any patch to do that, but I believe you could do the same thing by deleting parts of the Parallax Laythe config corresponding to the scatters.

[AdrianDogmeat]

I get stuck on the loading screen when using Parallax with other supported planet systems such as KSRSS

KSP Log in case you can find any leads

 

EDIT: Found out that kopernicus was causing the issue

would be nice if we could get a "no life" patch to remove life from other planets

[purpleskin]

Has anyone encountered these weird texture seams before? They are also present on mun, removing parallax fixes the issue so I'm fairly sure it's causing it, or at least partly responsible. Is this a texture tiling issue or something?

[Syczek]

Is possible to merge parallax configs from many mods to unify requirements??

I believe since the planet area increases by (2.5 * 2.5), you should increase set the density multiplier (in ParallaxGlobal.cfg) to 2.5 squared

So for a 10x rescale, it would be ideal to set this at 100, but that has an issue…

If density is set to 100, the save files will not load, even to the KSC scene. The entire PC would freeze, needing a force shutdown. Maybe it’s because more RAM is needed (I’m using 16gb), but I’m not sure. A potential solution is playing with scatters off at this scale, and in that case it’d be the equivalent of Parallax 1, which is absolutely still cool.

It’s probably not worth any rescaled optimization effort, because most players don’t use SigmaDimensions, and it runs perfectly at original size

Hey, Every!!

I got some problems when trying to follow these steps, While trying to fix the issues, All I could see on the surfaces were just glitchy, magenta spikes. Are there any issues when loading the textures?

I am not sure if already been mentioned but can we have a patch like the "ParallaxLifelessEve" but for Laythe? would be epic if we could.
Do not want think about if life can exist in another place and go off thinking about being first born in relation to the fermi paradox while playing ksp really.

what i was talking about myself, would be nice to have this

[kerbnub]

Is it possible to have only the scatters without the terrain tessellation, or are they tied together? I'd like to disable everything except Kerbin's trees.
