Parallax not working

[Thumper]

so i installed Parallax in Ckan and there is no trees or anything just emptiness

[Mike Garrison]

Those are scattering elements. I seem to recall an issue with Kopernicus and Parallax and the scattering elements. There's a fix for it, I think, but I don;t remember exactly.

Also, when you say "Parallax" do you mean "Parallax" or do you mean "Parallax-Continued"? Because Parallax is depreciated and Parallax-Continued is the one that is supported. (As I understand it.) https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/227476-1125-parallax-continued-100

Note that you need to turn the scatters to high or ultra in the graphics menu of KSP, they're set lower by default IIRC.

to be clear: you're not just trying to see the trees and such from the space center main screen are you?

because they only show up once you actually launch a vessel and are active in the world, the actual menu that shows the space center and all the buildings is NOT part of the actual game world, it is a facade.

I dont use ckan, i actually manually install all my mods straight from the github repos (most of them anyway).

With CKAN it should do everything automatically, but here are the manual instructions for it.

I do see some stuff while on the space center screen, could be a setting in the cfg though.

Installation Instructions - Windows
Make sure you first uninstall the old Parallax version if you have it installed.

Download and install the required dependencies:

Kopernicus: https://github.com/Kopernicus/Kopernicus/releases
KSP Burst: https://github.com/KSPModdingLibs/KSPBurst/releases
Ensure you have downloaded the following files:

ParallaxContinued.zip
ParallaxContinued_StockTerrainTextures.zip
ParallaxContinued_StockPlanetTextures.zip
ParallaxContinued_StockScatterTextures.zip
Optional lifeless Eve patch - ParallaxContinued_LifelessEvePatch.zip
Browse to ParallaxContinued.zip/GameData and move ParallaxContinued to your GameData folder

Browse to ParallaxContinued_StockTerrainTextures.zip/GameData and move Parallax_StockTerrainTextures to your GameData folder

Browse to ParallaxContinued_StockScatterTextures.zip/GameData and move Parallax_StockScatterTextures to your GameData folder

Browse to ParallaxContinued_StockPlanetTextures.zip/GameData and move Parallax_StockPlanetTextures to your GameData folder

If you downloaded the lifeless eve patch, move 'ParallaxContinued_LifelessEvePatch' from 'Parallax_LifelessEvePatch.zip/GameData' to your GameData folder

OPTIONAL - Delete the Settings.cfg file in your Kerbal Space Program folder. This ensures your planet configuration is clean and any junk from previous planet mods is gone.

Launch the game

IMPORTANT - In the main menu, click 'Settings', then 'Graphics', and set 'Terrain Detail' to 'High'

NOTE: If you use Deferred, you might need to install Deferred manually (not via CKAN) if CKAN reports a conflict! Any issues? You can reach me on Discord (linked in my Patreon description) or the KSP forums as 'Gameslinx'. I go by 'Linx' anywhere else.

Did all the prerequisites get installed? You made sure to set terrain detail and terrain shader quality to high or ultra?

I have a problem too. I manually install all of my mods. when I load parallax continued, in the loading screen is states, Kopernicus>config>solarpanels.cfg. This Solarpanels.cfg keeps getting errors and when i load into the game, parallax doesnt work and there are no trees anywhere. Is there a fix for this?

Use Kopernicus release-227
this was the latest release at the time of the last Parallax update. worked like a charm for me
