Super awesome! I'll keep an eye on this. Could be as reveloutionary as the Volumetric Clouds by blackrack.

I'm confused, is this for KSRSS or RSS? I saw the vote but all the github options say for RSS.

I elected to go with the option that’s less of a total pain to develop, which is RSS.

If you would like to use it with KSRSS, go into the tile config and set the scale to 2,1,2

Just a note, this isn't dead, I've just been working on other projects and making a nice platform to set this up on.

 

(Note these are RSS with 64k textures and normals)

Is this mod compatible with KSRSS? and how to install in KSRSS.

Discord screwed up something with image embedding, so it's not just here that's affected :sigh:

How is Discord related to the image embedding?

I used discord embeds for the images, unfortunately discord got tired of their platform turning into a pseudo-image sharing service meaning that any image link copied from discord will now have a hash with a timer set, after the timer is expired the image is offloaded off the server.

Honestly not sure why they did this, I'd assume images having individual hashes would be even more server intensive than just a reference to the image but oh well, such is life.

Dammit, Discord!

Does this mean we have to replace every image we used Discord for in the past with Imgur?

@ballisticfox0 I'm contemplating a new KSRSS playthrough and trying to decide which options to add.

I'm confused by the difference between "Map The Earth" from this thread, and "Earth UHD" that I think is also your mod but discussed on Discord rather than on the forum. Should I install both? This thread has been inactive for a while so maybe EarthUHD is just a new name for Map The Earth?

EarthUHD uses cubemaps to make the stock ksp terrain system even higher detail, where as MTE uses meshes to make what looks like terrain on the ground.
