Hi. I know this thread is for GPP, but I’ve been trying to get your Parallax Continued configs for JNSQ working and just keep getting an error stating that Kopernicus can’t load the custom system. JNSQ loads fine itself and with JNSQ Volumetric Clouds.  I’m using Parallax Continued version 3. Any thoughts or perhaps more thorough installation instructions in case I missed something? Thanks!

I'm planning on using this thread for both of them so no big deal, so on your issue, try deleting the Parallax _StockPlanetTextures and try again, if not, just try to install JNSQ alone first and the go with parallax. Let me know how it went

Hi, I seem to have found an issue with the configs, as there seem to be square holes in the ground whenever I move the camera around a bit or whenever I move across terrain. 

It seems to be an issue with the configs for JNSQ exclusively AFAIK, as this does not happen on the stock configs for Parallax continued

Let me know if I should provide a log file

Yeah the issue is on me, too low subdivision, for now go into GameData\Parallax_StockTerrainTextures\_Configs, find IncreaseSubdivisionCount.cfg and change the subdivision lvl on Kerbin from 7 to something like 9 or 12 and should fix until I update the mod

The issue is with the subdivision range being too low for the level supplied. The terrain steps up in subdivision levels with decreasing camera distance. If the subdivision distance is too low, Parallax isn't able to step up the subdivision level by 1 and ends up skipping levels which causes holes in the terrain

 

Subdivision Level impacts the tessellation quality. Parallax needs to create extra geometry on the CPU because most of the time the GPU hardware limit of a 64 tessellation factor is still too low. When you increase subdivision level you're creating more triangles, where the number of triangles is 1 + 4^subdivisionLevel . IE each time you increase subdivision level, you multiply the number of triangles by 4. Pay **very** close attention to the terrain tessellation quality when making adjustments to this level; you want it as low as possible while looking good, because it doesn't come cheap
