a.g. Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It seems it also solved the HUD interaction issue. What probably was happening actually is that because of the uninitialized tangents, the attribute value in the shader became whatever stateful garbage was in the opengl state before, so the texture coordinate changes done by HUD code ended up affecting the value.

ri00t Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is great mod! Looks so realistic from space and after rocket start. I use only clouds and Release-4 make some improvement. Many players want to make everything realistic. I like it too, but I really want to see unrealistic clouds, like unrealistic and funny Krebals are. There is possibility to use textures "face me" below desired altitude to exhibit cloud thicknes? I mean some random cloud textures moving along and not precisely releated with your mod.

Tw1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I just tried tiling the image in paint (after setting the BG to black) and it looks like there are some noticeable seams. I passed it through the GIMP seamless mapping, but it isn't as good as making it truly seamless. If you can get back to me in time, I'll use an updated version, otherwise I'll ship with the "seamless mapped" one.I had a look, I think I can fix it. GIMP made some pretty bright cities, reminds me of the paintball look in the early versions.When my exams are over.The Kerbin clouds are looking great now. Kinda spooky here.

I probably never would have thought of that on my own. Very new to graphics/modeling programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanKell Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A page that might prove very useful to you, rbray, given your earlier question: http://chrisholden.net/tutor/rocknorm.htmI'm playing around with the technique right now, since the existing normal map doesn't work right for RSS.Also, is the alpha channel of the detail texture supposed to do anything? It doesn't seem to, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookoo_gr Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just tried this plugin and it appears to be great. One thing i noticed is that at Eve the clouds are really thick(?) and the terrain is barely visible from the map view. I don't know if this is intended and from a skip of this topic i saw that you change the cloud setting. If possible can anyone tell me how to do it because reading 40 pages is way too much reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreyATGB Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm not the dev but I'm fairly sure that's intentional. Eve has a very thick atmosphere (like Venus) and like said planet, you can't see any of its surface from space. I imagine Eve being very unwelcome when weather makes its way in the game.

A dense atmosphere with a cloud layer that totally obscures a deadly surface hot enough to melt lead. If you want to change it you need to go to the config file and search for the eve layers. There you can either remove those or change the target file with the kerbin cloud cover if you just want partial coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanlock Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks a lot for your mod, it's amazing. First time I go to LKO with this mod, i'm awed at how beautiful Kerbin is. This really makes the game that much more visually stunning and realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jduchock Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 while i didn't install the latest patch to this mod last night, i can confirm that the keystrokes above do the same for me. My oldest son is moving out today (YAY / cry) so i wont be gaming until Sunday to run any tests on the new patch nor make those crash files available....but i haven't forgotten...Balu0: are you running win8 64-bit?Found my problem: believe it or not, it was the driver for my monitor (28 inch HD)... To test this, i moved my video output to my 51 inch HDTV and ran it for about a week with no crashing. After moving back to my monitor, crashing started again. after doing a bit of research, it was a win8 driver issue with my monitor. After updating it, crashing stopped........but things looked so damn good on the big-ass TV, i moved everything to the den and am playing from the couch now !!

Superfluous J Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He soon will be able to... sooner rather than later with any luck Sweet! And I've confirmed that I have awesome powers over you that you don't even know about. Every time I get around to upgrading to the current release, you release a new one. I JUST upgraded not half an hour ago to release 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acl8610 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 hmmm... Interesting. Do you have a video? Are you running with Release-4?Ok, so very delayed response here, but I finally had some time to find some video capture software and get some shots, biggest issue is the horizon flicker. The slight ground texture shift isn't that noticeable in the video but I can live with it. Also as for other mods, I have mechjeb only. This is release-4.
