Borisbee Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 What do you mean more vibrant? Is that planet the same as the one you linked a few posts up? Setting the opacity of the normal maps doesn't affect anything as far as I can tell, other than fixing the lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surface map is very vibrant, but I think the atmosphere obscures it, so I'm trying different opacity settings for the atmosphere to see if I can make it show up more....How can you set opacity for a normal map? Or are you just using something like Photoshop to change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just using something like Photoshop to change it?Yea I used an image editor to change the opacity on it. Although I *think* if you export the mesh from kittopia it will fix any lighting issues, not 100% sure on that though.If you're using photoshop or paint.net, just open the normal map and set the layer opacity down to about 50% and try that.

Lillz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You do have clouds covering the gas giant btw...I know, I put them there I converted the colormap to jpeg and it was only 7MB and tried uploading so you guys could see what I meant but imgur wasn't liking it.Apparently I'm confused what the '1' is in the rgb value of atmosphere settings.... I assumed it meant opacity, but setting it lower doesn't seem to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisbee Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can't set it through that config, you need to literally change the opacity through editing of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can't set it through that config, you need to literally change the opacity through editing of the image.Are you talking about the normal map thing? I saw that after I posted that.... but I also wanted to lower the opacity of the atmosphere's color, so the surface map shows a little bit more... The atmosphere isn't a map file so I assumed the '1' in the rgb color settings in a kopernicus config meant 100% opacity so lowering the number to like .5 would mean 50% opacity, but it doesn't seem to work that way...

Lillz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ah, yea I was talking about the normal mapso is that '1' after the rgb values opacity, or are you not sure either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisbee Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Technically it's opacity I believe, but it just doesn't do anything as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisbee Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Gravitasi, I was wondering if you could explain the way you generate scaledspace mesh. I'm wondering because if you add a PQSMod_VertexHeightOblate mod and try to generate the scaled mesh, it comes out as a sphere even though it should be more eggshaped. Is this a limitation of the current mesh generation? I took a look at the source code and unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable in the way KSP does it's planets so I couldn't figure out where the issue was. The only thing I can guess is because it's using Jool as a sort of template that it defaults to a sphere and ignores modifiers that change that? Although that doesn't make sense either since it can account for heightmaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas988 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 wow. That scaledspace resolution update is amazing. 8k planets look just... Awesome! http://i.imgur.com/pcyyzvc.jpgso biomes are working in this version now? Is that true?HOW DID YOU EXPORT TEXTURES FORM SPACE ENGINE IN 8 K AND GET THE NORMAL MAPS TO WORK?!?! uncaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellion Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 @Thomas:most likely using this guide. The normal map issue has also been solved afaik, I am not a 100% sure how though, just search for it in the last pages of the kopernicus threads.

Also, as for those normal maps, I couldn't find any information in the old Kopernicus threads on how to get them working. I think i'll just send Lilz a PM asking how they did it.

Drakoflame Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 _Augustus_ Said that OPM is incompatable with the new update, any word on that? is anyone else having problems? I know he's had strange problems before (his openGL thing and black planets), but I'm a bit afraid to update to the new Kopernicus Tech if i'm going to loose my favorite planets!

Tellion Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I replaced the Kopernicus.dll that comes with the latest OPM with the one from here and it is working fine - if anything goes wrong, just revert the changes (and restore the savefile from the backup you made).

Lillz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 So with my gas giant, the atmosphere rim looks fine from a distance and map view, but up close (entering the atmosphere, for instance) the rim is the green of Jool's.... any idea what I can do to make that not happen?

Lillz Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I think that's set by lightColor. Did you set that?Yah, I have: lightColor = 0.9647, 0.47843, 0.721569, 1.00 ambientColor = 0.45098, 0.08627, 0.40392, 1.00I even did a gradient similar to Sarnus from OPM and it still has the green tint up close (like less than 500km from orbit, the atmosphere ends at 320km). If you're above 500km, it has the tint that it's supposed to...Edit: This is my config for my gas giant (Name in progress, not sure if I like Porp or not ha). http://pastebin.com/3Mts9XNhIf you see any reason why it would still have Jool's rim, please say so Edited February 12, 2015 by Lillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellion Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Running the latest OPM with Kopernicus Tech works mostly fine, however I have discovered that I cannot use kittopia tech to update scaledspace let alone export the meshes. OPM now uses the main branch Kopernicus for handling scaledspace, so regenerating them is needed... Clicking the "update ScaledSpace" button will throw a NRE with thisNullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at PQSMod_VertexHeightMap.OnVertexBuildHeight (.VertexBuildData data) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at PQS.Mod_OnVertexBuildHeight (.VertexBuildData data) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at PQS.CreateMaps (Int32 width, Double maxHeight, Boolean hasOcean, Double oceanHeight, Color oceanColor) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at PFUtilityAddon.PlanetToolsUiController.WindowFunction (Int32 windowID) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at UnityEngine.GUI.CallWindowDelegate (UnityEngine.WindowFunction func, Int32 id, UnityEngine.GUISkin _skin, Int32 forceRect, Single width, Single height, UnityEngine.GUIStyle style) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 (Filename: Line: 4294967295)content. Complete logfile here. Any ideas?Edit: replacing nothing but the dll from kittopia resolves the issue. weird ._.

Candlelight Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have a question that i believe someone asked way before, but i'm not sure.Anyways, the problem is my surface texture for the planet wont load.When i'm looking at my planet from mapview or high orbit, it has the texture i made.But when i get closer (example: 100km orbit), my texture just fades away.Because today i was building a duna like planet.I got into a 100k orbit and as i moved in, my texture faded away. And when i got in close and clicked "Update ScaledSpace", it TURNED INTO Duna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't, use Tylo as a template. Edited February 12, 2015 by Lillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
