scopex Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I got a new computer, so I've been trying to download all the best visual mods that I can get. I've been playing with stuff on the Mun, and I can't help but notice: this weird glow on Kerbin appears whenever I'm on the Mun during daytime, but never during the Mun's evening or nighttime. Could someone tell me what's happening, and how I can get the night side of Kerbin to stay black? List of mods I have downloaded that I think could potentially effect this: Scatterer, EVE Redux, Planetshine, Distant Object Enhancement, Kopernicus, Spectra If ANY more info is needed, please let me know! I'm looking forward to a solution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadJohn Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Do you mean that the dark side of Kerbin is dimly visible? The would be due to reflected light from the Mun's lit surface. Planetshine or Deferred are the most likely mods to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbejans Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 from what i can see i think it is the reflection from the sun if you mean the white spot over kerbin's shores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have Deferred installed, so it’s probably PlanetShine… is there any way that I can get rid of the shine on Kerbin from the Mun? IIRC this started happening after I downloaded Scatterer, but I don’t remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC this started happening after I downloaded Scatterer, but I don’t remember I use Planetshine but never did much with its settings. Maybe it has some setting to control the maximum distance of reflection so Mun light can't reach Kerbin. Another option could be to add TUFX to your mods. Pick a profile or make your own with more contrast for deeper shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I’ll try playing with PlanetShine’s settings, and might try out TUFX again if I have to (had it before), thank you for your advice.

scopex Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Just tried uninstalling PlanetShine out of sheer curiosity and the faint glow is still there… what else could it possibly be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Kerbin Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hmm…. redownload Scatterer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scopex Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 I just found out what was causing it, it was simply the stock reflection settings... seems odd but apparently a stock issue, not PlanetShine nor Scatterer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check if you have the mod Minimum Ambient Light installed. IMO you call it a stock issue but I call it a feature It's not fun to play a game where I can't see my own ship or the surface where I landed. You can probably find settings to make the shadowed side of planets 100% black, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
