exi Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm using the 4k resolution textures provided in the first post, everything is in the right place and all the files are there but this happens - a quarter of the texture is missing (there's another 'border' 90* to the right):?-----Aside from that, provided I don't look in that particular direction: Wow. Space looks like space now There is just an error in the uploaded UniverseReplacer/Plugins/PluginData/UniverseReplacer/UniverseReplacer.cfgEdit the file and change: GalaxyTex_PositiveX = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveX GalaxyTex_PositiveX = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveY GalaxyTex_PositiveX = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveZTo GalaxyTex_PositiveX = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveX GalaxyTex_PositiveY = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveY GalaxyTex_PositiveZ = Textures/Skybox/Skybox_PositiveZand you are set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Would it be possible to change the HUD resolution? I play with the HUD up at huge and it's kind of blurry at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeroignite Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Not sure if this has been done already but I used this image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tycho_catalog_skymap_v2.0_(threshold_magnitude_3.0,_high-res).jpgto make a skybox with more stars. 2048 resolution.Place this in your universe replacer folder.The image is a fantastic start to a skybox, i think i'm going to try to do some blending and add galaxies.Looks awesome, but according to 7zip most of the files are broken. Can you try re-compressing and re-uploading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castun Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'll be checking this out for sure!Why didn't someone think of this ages ago? Those goofy galaxy sprites have been irritating me since, like, 0.18Plenty of players I know have been wanting this, I just don't think anyone figured out how to do it until now.

Moose Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Please do link that low-key field. I always find the current skybox a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try re-compressing and re-uploading?You can't open the images in a 7zip until you decompress it. It will always give that error if you try to look at something in a 7zip. Unzip it and the files will be there, I just tested it.EDIT: So sorry, reworking things. file broke in the upload.

Superfluous J Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I got a very nice "reality" based on the single hugest Tycho data I could find, the max res download from The Tycho page on NASA. I may play with it and try to overlay a prettier version of the Milky Way, which is visible but not nearly as spectacular as Rareden's beautiful image is.Here's a zip (sorry I am not a 7z fan in general) of the 6 images that you can put in your ksp\GameData\UniverseReplacer\Textures folder:2048x2048 Reality.zip (right click and select "download" if your browser tries to open the file)And here's a pic of a munar orbiter getting between Orion and Taurus: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried renaming the images to be compliant, but they do not seem to be loading into the correct layout - the seams do not match.Edit: To fix it you just need to switch the names of NegativeY and PositiveY. Then it's perfect. Thank you for the realistic skybox. Could I request a version saved as TGA, instead of JPG? JPG tends to corrupt stars. Also how about a 4096x4096 version?Edit: Just read that the Tycho dataset does not include nebulae, or the Andromeda galaxy, for example.

rkman Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I used to do a lot of backcountry skiing. Up high and in cold air you really can see things like that. There is a definite glow to the entire sky. Under good viewing conditions the night sky does look a lot more impressive than what most people get to see, but it still does not look like a Hubble photo. Astronomy photos show lot more stars and a lot more color than what the human eye can see at such low light levels, even under very good conditions.The unaided eye can see down to about magnitude 6, which amounts to some 9000 stars in the entire sky. Due to the horizon we can see about half of those. That's exactly how crowded it is. Of course there's also the milky way, which 'glows'. We can not discern the individual stars in it, and in urban areas it's usually barely visible at all. Edited August 4, 2013 by rkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreyATGB Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This might sound pretty dumb, but you can still see planets as tiny pixels even with a different skybox right?Also, is there a simply higher-res of the default one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
