I went ahead and tried something else, I copied all the 4 dependencies into my GameData folder, starstriker...thats the comets folder, I stuck the actual starstriker folder into GameData and then copy pasted inside that folder the Comets folder from v5.

I then went into each individual folder in GameData and just added or replaced files or folders that were missing or had to be replaced...now I am stuck on KerbinSpaceInside3000 or something at the loading screen...

Alright im going to update on where I am on with Mac platform.

I removed that kerbin...3000.png file from Defaults in Texture Replicator. It continued with the loading screen but again stuck on Loading icon bottom right just frozen with black screen after all the files were loaded.

So i went ahead and I removed everything except the v5 files and EVE, still had the issue!. I removed then both boulderco and eve and no problems...obviously...what am I doing wrong? It's something w either EVE or boulder co that I am doing wrong. I am unzipped EVE first off the addon's page, installed EVE and boulderco folder. then I unzip v5 and click into gamedata for each. I copy paste and replace any files already there or copy any missing files into respective folders....any advice?

So I got V5 successfully installed on my mac without the solar flare. The only problem I'm having is that the rings don't wobble. I would suggest installing EVE first, starting up the game, closing the game, and installing V5. I would also try a fresh install of KSP.

Try using the low res version, I think I know the problem.

stanz250, would it be possible at all to give some sort of clear cut instruction on exactly what you did. I downloaded the 4 files on the 1st page, also the v5 file...what to do without the solar flare, and did you have to ALt+N? directions would be great...thanks!!!!

and rings don't wobble? what would it normally do

thanks for that stanz. did you install eve and the other 3 packages as well, including the starstrider42...did that actually go into GameData or the folder inside, CustomAsteroids that goes into GameData.

Then we open KSP, close it, install V5 (replace any files already there), and restart?

The inclination and wobble works for me? Also could you put a download to that jool ring texture like this?

How? Would you mind telling me what you did to make it work? Also, I will.

In the mean time, I've updated the download to make the rings more noticeable. Just re download and only place the Kittopiaspace folder in.

Mac has problems with high res textures with EVE. I don't think it's possible to fix.

I've actually had the Kittopiaspace mod for a while in my GameData and just overwrote it with this.

Hey Sonic, what happened to the stormy Laythe config?

As excited as i have been for this, I've got to say I'm disappointed to see the number of dependencies in terms of secondary mods you need climbing so high. I was hoping with v5 you'd be able to cut the RSS dependency and require only EVE, but instead have picked up several others. Thats the main reason I stopped playing RSS, it just required so many secondary mods. Having BA5 follow that trend in quite discouraging, especially as they are separate downloads now.

Derp.

Fixed now. I really am sorry about all these "dependencies"(You don't really need them except for EVE, but they are designed to be used with them). If I could I would get rid of them all but EVE.

And don't worry, a stormy laythe config is coming up probably tomorrow. I just don't feel like it tonight.

So I tried it with the EVE v8 prebuild, doesn't work properly, which is really a shame b/c it really does some neat stuff.

Overall I've got to say I see a mixed bag of some amazing looking stuff, along with a few things that really tend to stick out. This picture from Laythe looking toward Jool sums it up pretty well, vxL9mXl.png Jool looks amazing, as does the aurora clouds above, but the cloud layer atmosphere line is really jarring.

Here's another s8toOkA.png You can see two of the layer lines, but Jool looks stunning if you look past it.

Beyond that, I think my general feedback would be Duna and Eve especially look better from ground than orbit. Eve looks sweet from the ground, orbit just doesn't convey it's turbulence though. Duna looks almost resorty from orbit, and while the ground shows much more in the way of sandstorms, it still isn't really intense enough. I can't wait to see stormy Laythe. Jool's rings seem to have lost any texture and basically are just a dark shader now? what happened to the particulate designs we saw back in May? The rest of the bodies for the most part just appear to be made sharper from orbit is all. I'd love to see more down in the way that Minmus got the ground cover effects. I'm not sure if you've checked out the astronomers pack for EVE, but the way it added additional particulate even to places like pol was neat, and I'd love to see that adapted here.

Otherwise, Jumping to support EVE v8 beta's, even if it means not supporting 7.3 anymore would be great. I was actually rather surprised when u said u were building for 7.3 after u talked so much about wanted features from v8, I'd figured for sure you were building around the betas for it.

Hope I don't come off sounding too harsh. What you've done looks great, I just cant help but compare it to astronomers pack, which I was hoping BA v5 would be a big step up from, overall it seems like each pack has it's leads though. looking forward to seeing the tweaks u make going forward. :)
