[1.8-1.12] TextureReplacer 4.5.3 (8.2.2022)

[Mitchz95]

hey guys. how do these reflections work? I Installed latest TR and Bentley's (J-PRO-91) Suit Kit . im not getting any reflections on the visors. is there something I don't know? isn't TR "reflection ready" and I have to do something for it to work? I read some part of this and the old thread and I just don't get how one makes this work.

Download WindowShine. It makes the visors reflective by default, and most of the windows on command pods as well.

[techstepman]

is opengl not compatible with reflections?

[Capt. Hunt]

I didn't so that might be it. I'll test to see what happens.

Personally, I went with a somewhat less absolute but more elegant option. I just put a whole bunch more non-orange suits in the suits folder. This doesn't completely annihilate the occasional orange suited random kerbal, but it makes them a whole lot rarer.

Yes, but not on Windows.

[techstepman]

Yes, but not on Windows.

After several hours of testing I found that you were right, excluding suits setting is required for uniform custom suit setting use, otherwise it's random. I assumed incorrectly that custom suits settings would take priority over randomized suits.

I can now start tinkering with more complicated setups like rank armbands in addition to colour coded suits. Thanks again.

Not compatible with "Kerbin Side" icons on map appear to be a black square

Wish it will be fixed http://imgur.com/lCqZSqx

Then post it on Kerbin Side's mod page. This isn't TextureReplacer's bug to fix.

Do you have texture compression/unloading/mipmap generation enabled? Could you upload your log?

I also noticed earlier that a 'rescue Kerbal' from a contract named Peggy got an orange spacesuit as well...these are 2 low level Kerbals + RescuePeggy. One pilot, one engineer and one scientist:

Made an updated version that excludes random suits and forces them to pick from the list, if you want to try it again. After 10 hours of gameplay I haven't seen any incorrectly suited kerbals.

Updated pack to new texture replacer directory structure.

[Capt. Hunt]

cool, thanks, I just thought it was kinda weird that the Tourists spawned in the same random suits as all the trained kerbalnauts. So if I understand your code right, setting a class to GENERIC causes them to use whatever setting you have for generic kerbals, and DEFAULT sets that class to the stock textures?

Yep.. GenericKerbals:excluded suits stops kerbals from grabbing random suits, I listed every directory in /suits/.

So if I understand your code right, setting a class to GENERIC causes them to use whatever setting you have for generic kerbals, and DEFAULT sets that class to the stock textures?

Ah not quite, but it's a bit confusing so let me explain.

CustomKerbals sets the Original 4 to their set suits, by name. I use DEFAULT in my CustomKerbals for the faces but "DEFAULT" for TextureReplacer refers to the /Default/ directory. But, since I don't have any face textures in my /Default/ directory it uses the Squad stock face textures, I probably should have used GENERIC. The keywords are a bit confusing.

ClassSuits is where the various new kerbals (recruits and tourists) are assigned their suits.

Tourists don't need an EVA texture, any texture not set will default to what's in the /default/ directory, then to squad's original "generic" textures.

I considered adding levels, but there's no way I've found to setup a kerbal piecemail. 5 levels of kerbal would quintuple the size of the textures, since there's no way to re-use the same helmet or jetpack for a certain class. Like for me, all scientists have blue striped helmets and blue striped jetpacks, but to make 5 levels of scientist I'd need to copy that helmet and jetpack texture 5 times. Even though only the EVAtexture and kerbalMainGrey (texture for when kerbal is in IVA) would change.

[shaw]

Textures that are the same for all levels, don't need to be quintupled.

The KSP Add-on Version Checker is telling me there is a 2.4.5 version available but the link redirects me to the 2.4.4 version. You may want to check that Shaw

I'm just uploading 2.4.5.

Female helmet normal map works perfectly now, thanks Shaw!.

BTW, I don't know what have you done, but this time wip-EVE atmos are perfectly reflected (at least from orbit). I need yet to test if it's working so perfect from groud, and with scatterer... but anyways great, great work.

Probably you're above 160 km. Or maybe disabling atmosphere rendering fixed it.

is a black atmo is not a buffer skybox i think?

ok, I'm confused, I added Tourist to class suits

but the tourist setting in the toolbar window is blank and tourists are not spawning in the suit I put in the Tourist folder, instead they still have random suits.

Also, I've noticed that they are wearing EVA helmets instead of IVA helmets

Edit: The EVA helmets in IVA bug only occurs if the user selects "Remove IVA helmets in safe situations"

Edit2: Ok, I think I figured it out, you still have to set the tourist suit in the window, I was just clicking on the wrong button, so I didn't see it.

Forget "CustomKerbals" and "ClassSuits" sections, they have no effect on existing games since the GUI has been introduced.

They may only be used by modders who create texture packs.

[W1ntermute]

in 2.4.4 you have written in the changelog:

• disabled texture compression, mipmap generation and unloading by default, these functions will be removed in the next major release
  

but in 2.4.5, it says:

• re-enabled texture compression, mipmap generation and unloading
  

what ever happened to removing these functions? Or were you specifically removing the function of disabling these? Could you please clarify what you meant exactly?

[veryinky]

Could it be possible to have a "set kerbals to pre-sets" button in the GUI which does set kerbals in existing games?
