[0.25/0.90] Better Atmospheres [V5 - June 14th, 2014]

[Thesonicgalaxy]

I'm not sure if this is my hardware or not but as awesome as this pack is, it really kills my fps. On normal EVE is runs just like KSP runs in vanilla but with this it cuts my fps from 30 to about 15. I have tried the high res, med res, and low res, but that didn't change anything. I can run other games with high settings like Arma 3 or DayZ. Any ideas why this is happening?

I'm trying to figure out the cause of the lag too. I'll post an update if I find anything.

[asheft]

how do you install the lens flare on mac?

For mac users, the sharedassets10 file is accessed by right clicking KSP.app and selecting show package contents. It is in the contents/data folder

I also don't know if that Unity Explorer program works on Mac.

It doesn't.

So on the topic of the lag, do you guys only get lag when you're at the ram limit, or is it always there no matter what?

[BigFatStupidHead]

Well, if my problem is in any way related to this, let me fill you in some details.

I'm running Linux 64, so memory limit should be a non-issue.

I've only noticed slowdown on, or orbiting and looking at, Kerbin. (Kerbin is the only place I have tested that has an atmosphere)

There is no difference in what resolution pack I use.

Using alt-N, if I either delete or reset the cloud layers to default EVE, the problems go away. I have to delete ALL the cloud layers though, and even adjusting them (turning off volumetric cloud layers, for example) doesn't do anything.

Hope that helps!

So if you deleted every single cloud layer but one, the problems are still there? You have to delete every single cloud layer in the pack itself, or just kerbin?

I am actually getting lag on a stock install with nothing but these mods.

I can't get the BA clouds. I replaced cloudlayers.cfg, but I still get the EVE clouds

The BA clouds are a separate config named cloudLayers-BetterAtmospheres which is including in the download.

Are you using custom asteroids? If so, how many asteroids do you have in your current save?(TRACKED AND UN KNOWN)

I tried it with only the BoulderCo or clouds part with a different and it runs a bit faster, not much though. Weird, because I get almost no lag with Astronomer's pack.

By deleting all of Kerbin's cloud layers, I have no more lag on Kerbin. I really need to get a big ship to another planet and test it there. Duna ahoy!

I put that in

Is there any way to make this compatable with PlanetFactory? I need it to be!

[tygoo7]

I put that in

What is the problem again?

Why wouldn't it be?

I'm getting the EVE clouds, not the BA clouds.

Do you have a screenshot?

[LvL]

I did a clean download, and didn't replace the files this time, but it still came up like this

there's one

there's one

That looks normal to me.

go look at the original post. or zoom in. whichever one. they're not the same patter as the BA ones, and they don't have nice shadows

*posts how to install lens flare on mac*

sharedassets10 isn't a file on mac

Is it because you're using low res version? It looks like a low res version of the pattern.

kerbol isn't white from far away (not so close that Kerbol is taking up your entire screen)

and, kerbol isn't white

The flare or the actual body? IIRC you can't replace the flare on Macs.

[Thesonicgalaxy]

By deleting all of Kerbin's cloud layers, I have no more lag on Kerbin. I really need to get a big ship to another planet and test it there. Duna ahoy!

So even if you have one cloud layer remaining(doesn't matter which one), you still get it? Or is it only when you have a certain layer left?

[LvL]

can I have my clouds and city lights high res and everything else low res?
