EVE not working

[TriCkz]

Trying to add some detailed clouds to my game , have followed all instructions I could find and made sure all required mods are installed such as scatter etc but i cannot for the life of me get the clouds to appear , the game has the haze and new shadows and looks fantastic but the clouds not being there is annoying me. Ive installed manually and tried multiple version of EVE but nothing. Is it still supported or could someone point me in the right direction here ?

EVE Redux, right?

Did you download the configs as well? You need configs (typically provided by another mod, e.g. Astronomer's Visual Pack) but there is also a default config for EVE you need in lieu of this:

https://github.com/WazWaz/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements/releases/download/EVE-1.2.2-1/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-Configs-1.2.2.1.zip

(This file is listed on the EVE Redux forum page in the "Configs" section near the bottom of the main post.)

Also, using CKAN might automatically install the stock configs, but if not, you're looking for the "BoulderCo" mod. This is what's inside the zip file I linked right above.

Just followed your instructions and installed everything listed to be sure , again no joy. everything else seems to be working just no clouds at all , even with graphics cranked to the highest setting

Are you using any other mods that could be interfering with EVE, by chance? What's your mod list?

[TriCkz]

astronomers visual pack
EVE
Kopernicus
ModuleFlightIntegrator
ModuleManager
Parallax
PlanetShine
Scatterer

i just followed a youtube video but ive just installed CKAN and now its saying "AVP-8kTextures v1.13 depends on AstronomersVisualPack, which is not compatible with the currently installed game version"

very new to modding this game so ive probably messed up somewhere.

Ah, okay, I didn't realize you were trying to set up Astronomer's Visual Pack. AVP has it's own EVE configs, so in this case, the BoulderCo default configs are definitely not what you want and can be entirely ignored and should be removed from your mod list.

(You only need the BoulderCo configs if you're just using stock EVE, but other mods, like AVP, will provide their own configs for EVE.)

Sadly, I don't have experience installing mods via CKAN, so I can only sort of guess in regards to that version warning it's giving you, but I have manually installed pretty much every one of the mods you listed at some point, so hopefully I can help you sort this out regardless.

----

Gonna start off ignoring anything related to Parallax, and will mention it separately after the first batch of mods.

Make sure CKAN is installing the following mods, and your game version is 1.12.5:

- Module Manager 4.2.2
- Astronomer's Visual Pack 4.13*
- AVP Textures 1.13 (2k, 4k, or 8k depending on how much pain you want to put your PC through)
- Scatterer 0.0838
- EVE Redux 1.11.7.1 (just the base mod, you do not need any configs, e.g. BoulderCo)
- PlanetShine 0.2.6.6

* AVP 4.13 should work fine for KSP 1.12.5. I don't think the mod has actually been updated in a long time, but I've had good luck with it since KSP 1.12.3 at least, which is when I started playing. My guess is CKAN is warning you that AVP is technically outdated, but as long as AVP 4.13 is what it installed, I think you can probably ignore the warning.

If you start with a clean install and only install these mods, it should work. I would recommended maybe just trying this mod list first to make sure EVE and AVP are working correctly. You should definitely be seeing clouds (and some nice ones at that) if everything worked correctly.

Parallax.

I think this works with AVP, but honestly I'm not 100% sure. I can't promise this mod doesn't conflict with AVP, because I never really used both mods at the same time (I don't really remember why, exactly), but theoretically you should just be able to add the following mods on top of what I already mentioned above to get Parallax to work:

- Parallax 2.0.6
- Parallax Stock Textures 2.0.0
- Parallax Scatter Textures 2.0.1
- Kopernicus 139+ (155 is the latest)
- ModularFlightIntegrator (dependency of Kopernicus; included with manual download, but I'm not sure about CKAN)
- HarmonyKSP (same as ModularFlightIntegrator; I'd assume CKAN would install it automatically, but you didn't list it in your mod list. It's "000_Harmony" when installed in the GameData directory)

----

The actual files that should be inside your GameData folder after installing all the mods:

- 000_Harmony
- AstronomersVisualPack (note: the AVP Textures mod merges with this folder and doesn't have its own)
- EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements
- Kopernicus
- ModularFlightIntegrator
- Parallax
- Parallax_StockTextures (note: the Parallax Scatter Textures mod merges with this folder and doesn't have its own)
- PlanetShine
- Scatterer
- Squad (base game)
- SquadExpansion (base game DLC)
- ModuleManager.4.2.2.dll
