How can i open up the Ingame GUI?

How can i open up the Ingame GUI?

ALT+N, I believe.

[Themorris]

W

Then it wouldn't affect ships. I have another idea in mind.

Ok, then I'm curious. There are already so many wonderful things that happened in this thread.

[Dooz]

ALT+N, I believe.

Thank You.

Wich *.cfg is applied when multiple cloudLayers.cfg are used and how to achieve to use them all or just configurations that are missing?

[Starstrider42]

Wich *.cfg is applied when multiple cloudLayers.cfg are used and how to achieve to use them all or just configurations that are missing?

All the configs are read. Unfortunately, since they tend to be redundant with each other you'll have to remove the extra cloud layers. Hit ALT+N while in-game to access the editor, then delete the extra copies of the layers that are in both files.

[sebi.zzr]

as you can see im using BA,but BA dont have moho clouds(sun particles) like KSPCR,and when I want to change to use different folder for moho will not let me.

I think the way forwards with this may well be decreasing the size of the billboards and increase their numbers a bit. With high res 2D maps for their placement I think smaller more dense cloudlets will make the whole volumetric cloud scene look nicer/more realistic. They'd follow the real world cloud coverage (2D layers) better and be more defined.

- and maybe prevent them from being uniform by some basic vertical random scatter spawning script for the billboards?

Is there a way I could tweak any of these parameters?

You can see what I'm referring too on the middle left of this image, where the volumetrics stop.

We are currently using a random offset placement mechanism, so it isn't particularly uniform. There is a problem trying to use more particles. You can see this for yourself. In the eve config, you can update the number of divisions to something larger, each resulting in a doubling of particles. Performance drags very quickly when it is enabled.

[pingopete]

New volumetrics looking promising, as well as BA's new release X)

[skykooler]

The use case for this is for planet-wide fog/atmosphere. Think Jool and Eve. Maybe laythe, but less thick.

Could you use this to make certain latitudes fade to white - so that mountains that intersect the cloud layer do so smoothly rather than a sharp edge?

Working on it.

[Duxwing]

Oh my GAWRSH! I downloaded the mod and LOVE EHT! I aerobraked at Laythe today for the first time in Career mode: the clouds were so thick I could not see the ground and so wonderously beautiful I almost cared not.

Sorry for the already asked question(probably).

But did Astronomer release his newest pack with the Aurora Borealis?

If so - where can I find it(the reddit doesn't seem to be updated)?

And the most important question - has anyone tried to combine the Duna duststorm effects with Astronomer's cfg/pack? I want to do it, but can't figure out which part of the Duna duststorm cfg is actually relevant to the duststorm. There are just so many parts that are related to Duna there.

Delete everything except the parts with "BoulderCo/Clouds/Textures/duna2" as their texture. Those are the dust storm parts, the rest are duplicates of the default texture.

rbray, anyway I can increace the number or vorticies/sides on the 2D cloud meshes for RSS, it would fix a lot of what currently looks weird on RSS

[jstnj]

Anyone know what's up with my install? I have EVE + Better Atmospheres v4 installed. Im running 23.5 on mac. The cloud textures never seem to render unless i'm at a weird angle, and when they do...they look like this. Any help to solve the above glitch is appreciated!

You will have to use Low-res. Macs don't support the 8K textures.

Thanks rbray, that was simple...and it fixed it.

i keep getting a network error when i try to download this plugin. can anybody help me? (other plugins do work)(i use chrome)

Paul, when you post some code lines, it's much better to use the "code" and

replace " with [ , just like I did for /code ; edit your post

it works just like for example

tag around it
