Threw out the old color map and started over.  Not entirely certain if I love this or hate it.

I know this is incredibly old (Duna's probably been done better now, I'm still just reading all the posts.) but I love Duna's look here.

Duna never was a realistic mars analogue, I always disliked how they lowered the red in the remake, and hated how in Parallax they made it a more realistic orange-ish color completely contrasting the deeper red visible from orbit/in the map view. A return to the old red is in order!

Damn, I found this page looking for a tutorial on how to make custom EVE effects, And I've left with a new mod bookmarked. This is perhaps one of the best mods for the game ever made, I do have one question though.

How will you manage the upcoming release of the true volumetric clouds in EVE Redux? Will the pack not come out until it has a config for those or will it release without them at first?

Somewhat recent events in the TTRPG world culminated in me starting to write my own game and thats been sucking up all my creative willpower. 

The mod isn't necessarily dead, and I can honestly pick right back up where I left off whenever, it just isn't what Im wanting to focus on atm. 

Plus I like to think it'll be a good thing in the end. When I come back inspired to work on it more it'll be the better for it, particularly considering only one planet needs "hard" terrain work put into it, and the rest is just making it beautiful which is the comparatively easier part for me.

Do you have an in-dev release we can play around with in the meantime?

I would really like to play along with this mod as well.

This mod’s development was good, I really liked what G’th’s idea was with the parallax scatter for OPM and the cool visuals like geysers and ash plumes. I wonder you, @G'th, ever had plans to have configs for the volumetric cloud mod by Blackrack for all the stock planets and the OPM planets.

in the "read me" in the download, it says to install the 43k cloud pack. I just wanted to let you know that the link doesnt work. Could you send me the file for your clouds if you have it on your pc. Thanks

Having played with the Volumetric clouds I can honestly say once its fully released I'd expect a +80% uptake in the community, its just amazing, utterly amazing.

I agree! My dream for that mod is that the entirety of the OPM mod’s planets have those clouds including the gas giants. It would be so cool to have an entire system with those lifelike clouds.

I'm working on a patch that will add fire storms (I asked him how to do it, pretty straight forward in that regard) and eventually fire tornados to Moho (there was talk of him adding in tornadoes & hurricanes, I'm just going to make them fire-like if possible). So patching all the planets in OPM by an experianced planetary modder (I'm not) shouldn't be too hard.

Apparently Auroras are also on the list to be developed, it will be quite a mod once fully released.

Sounds great! I haven’t been playing KSP that much but that sounds so interesting that I think I’ll start playing again daily!
