[1.12.x] Outer Parallax - Parallax Support for OPM and MPE w/ Custom Assets


Lithium-7

Recommended Posts

This is a set of comprehensive patches which add new Parallax surface textures and scatters to the various bodies included in Outer Planets Mod and Minor Planets Expansion.
Two patches are available; which are meant to be installed separately. When installed together they will merge and overwrite some files.
Both patches are in 2k resolution, as this is the resolution I use for playing Parallax- though many scatters directly reference assets from your Parallax_StockTextures install, which is a required dependency.
The Outer Planets Mod patch also includes a few custom scatters for Slate and especially Tekto, including new models. These two bodies also come with new science definitions(supporting DMagic Orbital Science) that reference these changes.

Parallax v2 Releases

Update: I haven't touched this in a while, but jthero3 went ahead and made some updated configs for Parallax Continued!

I can't make an update for those versions myself, as I don't have access to Linx's Patreon at the moment.

would you be willing to provide your custom parallax textures, perhaps? needing a lower-res version of the textures for ram usage mindfulness.

I don't think the license allows me to redistribute such textures.

Got confused finding this thread and downloading it to realize I already had something similar installed that I got directly recommended from the Parallax ReadMe. It seems that a more recent update for this mod has been made but although that mod's github ReadMe points to this thread no mention of the new version has been posted here for some reason. Making this post here to remind me in the future

Sorry about that! It's been a while since I played Kerbal. I'll go ahead and update the OP.

I love this mod, but for some reason around Slate there is a weird texture overlay that looks like it moves across the surface. Here is what I mean. Any ideas what could cause this? I'm using Parallax continued

Well, assuming you're using the Parallax Continued update by jthero3, you'd have to ask them about it. I don't have that version of Parallax myself, so I can't help.

Using Linx's Old Config file for OPM gave me the same results. Its not just Slate by the way, Priax and Wal had the same texture issue from orbit. I opened up the Debug toolbar and saw that I was getting the error, "cannot find preset "high" for pqs "slate" as I entered the orbit of Slate. Not sure if its an issue with Parallax Continued or perhaps something going on with Kopernicus, I left a comment describing the issue on Linx's Parallax thread but haven't gotten any replies yet.
