Hyomoto Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I was watching an older Scott Manley video earlier and Kerbin looked rather ... upsetting without its clouds. I have no doubts that Squad will get around to everything you are doing right now, but I think your work shows exactly why they were smart to open modding up and support it early on. Heck, you might just end up on the team for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesonicgalaxy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 What about the smoke that appears when a plane lands on a runway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyomoto Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I don't really consider any of my mods 'essential' for enjoying KSP, but I admit this one feels necessary. I'd like to see the sky extended on Kerbin (at 10km we're past the clouds AND can see well into the void). Here's my contribution to the old and new: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante80 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 A weird question. Is it possible to have clouds where you are inside the atmosphere, but not see them from orbit? I want to use a 50mb kerbin texture with clouds, and having the volumetric clouds on top of it makes it very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to toy with the rim settings on the over-layer to try this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothke Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 What about the smoke that appears when a plane lands on a runway?-snip-Tire smoke was implemented when drifting on Touhou Torpedo's modular multiwheels. I'm sure it could be implemented on landing with regular gears. It should not be connected to this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(dust clouds on impact, etc)Ooooh! This is a "visual enchantments" in general modification! So, cities and clouds are just the beginning? Why don't you say so!Here's my wishlist:- tire smoke on contact with ground- dust puffs when Kerbals are walking on dirt/snow(/water?)- headshake in IVA (camera-on-a-g-spring-with-noise-method) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanderTek Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Has anyone come up with some tweaks for Eve's clouds? By default it's pretty much just a fuzzy pink ball now. Which isn't bad... but I suspect this mod is capable of something cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb1 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Have you noticed that when in orbit the clouds leach some of the Ground detail into the clouds? It makes it hard because depending on the angle you are looking the terrain moves with the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleofKerbin Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I am currently having an issue with this mod. I have installed it correctly, put the BoulderCo folder into KSP\GameData\GameData and the mod still doesn't work with all my other mods.Here is the list of mods I use:KW RocketryNovaPunchBobcat's Soviet PackBobCat's American PackKSPXWhen I run the game WITHOUT this mod, KSP works fine. When I add the mod, the game crashes every time after loading! What do I do to fix this!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleofKerbin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 OK, so I did as you told to do, and the game gets to the little bottom right corner loading bar and crashes. What do I do now?? I want to play the game SO bad, and I'm not sure if this is an incompatibility issue or what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleofKerbin Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm thinking of deleting KSPX, because from what I hear it has some nasty incompatibility issues. But, if anyone has a suggestion on what to do, please don't hesitate to reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that you are running into the memory wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if anyone has a suggestion on what to do, please don't hesitate to reply! You're definitely hitting the memory wall. You should downsize some textures, set KSP to half-res and install the Active Memory Reduction mod. I'm currently using a VERY high amount of mods, including all parts from KW, NP and B9. I've installed the B9 extreme reduction pack by attosecond, it frees up more than 1 gb for other mods to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 @KyleofKerbin There is no conflict between this mod and KSPX. None that I've seen in weeks of playing and literally 100's of missions.Checking memory should be your first concern if you're crashing like that.You're definitely hitting the memory wall. You should downsize some textures, set KSP to half-res and install the Active Memory Reduction mod. I'm currently using a VERY high amount of mods, including all parts from KW, NP and B9. I've installed the B9 extreme reduction pack by attosecond, it frees up more than 1 gb for other mods to use.I would also agree about the half res-thing. It comes down to a choice between playing the game with lots of mods or playing at full-res. Also, as suggested earlier by rbray the memory reduction mod is an excellent tool for freeing up memory. Another essential thing for people that don't play vanilla KSP is installing the texture reduction packs for B9, KW Rockets, Squad and any other reduction pack out there. I run with millions of mods, play with texture replacer and city and clouds and am playing on Nathankells excellent Real Solar System mod Shameless plug for an excellent mod so I am regularly building huge 5m rockets and thanks to those measures I have loads and loads of memory left as you can see.

pingopete Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Not yet compatible with Real sized solar system, cloud and city light textures flash and flicker, divided into strange little segments, noticeable when viewing the planet from long distances; fades away when very close (map view)Edit: Just realized this doesn't happen when universe replacer textures aren't running. sorryRe-Edit: No still an issue even without any universe replacer textures running (VE:6-7). Also it appears that clouds fade to fast when close to layer: only just visible from surface, and once 90 km above.City lights textures rise off the horizon although All else is looking b-e-a-utiful!Dare I wish for volumetric clouds? One can only dream :'DWould be incredible skimming over/through 3d clouds high in the atmosphere or gliding through the layers of cloud on return from orbit in a shuttle XD Edited January 12, 2014 by pingopete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Eve (Venus) that will make it really weird, so try lower values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
