Alek,
Here's a better example (I hope):



The black line parallel to the horizon is what I'm talking about. Clouds are turned off on the right. The surface is pretty much completely flat, so it can't be mountains intersecting with the clouds, if the were still rendering.

I think the atmospheres need a bit of fixing. A variable must be out of place or something.

I don't have this same bug, but I second the assertion that something's up with the atmospheres, as a few times now I have encountered planets whereupon the visible part of the atmosphere (you know, the "sky") ends at very low altitudes - in one case, it could only be seen from the ocean or beaches, and in a more recent case it seemed to actually begin and end below sea level.
If nothing else, could the "atmospheres from sea level" checkbox be brought back?

Purely aesthetic bug here. The atmosphere is rendering over the foreground, like so:
I assume these are caused by incorrect atmosphere parameters, but it couldn't hurt to point it out.


It's a chronic illness of the Eric Bruneton's atmosphere code. It cannot be fixed. I spent many hours during last years tweaking the parameters, and what you can see is the best solution.

Ah, I see now. Pay no attention to me then.

its seems like that if you go lower the temperature is higher:
i went 3 kilometers underwater and the temperature is much higher than the land.
its a bug or normal?

Normal. SE only calculates based on atmospherics, it does not take water into account.

But I found something important about this bug: In version 0972,this bug is invisible!(I am sure wink ) So I think it might be a good idea to cover the code in present version by the old one from ver. 0972 smile





Who am I ?

Are you sure? Try to find (or make) the same planet in 0.972 and 0.974. This atmosphere artefact is very sensitive to conditions. Make a terrain 100 meters higher and you will not see any artefacts.

All updated to the date:

Changes:
- Label rendering for selected object is independent of distance and bright
- Separate buffers for left and right pass in stereo modes
- Rendering in the equirectangular spherical projection
- Added quintuple star system 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5
- Ship HUD is hiding in interstellar mode
- Planet SurfStyle can be updated in the Planet editor
- Updated palettes for titans and iceworlds
- Alien vegetation on titans with terrestrial life
- Reduced too often impact bassins on iceworlds and titans
- Random global tint of a planets into shades of brown
- Polar caps on cold selenas and iceworlds (Ganymede-like and Pluto-like thin frost deposit)

Bugfixes:
- Fixed render of orbits in the Map mode
- Fixed bug with infinite radius of black holes, neutron stars and white dwarves
- Fixed wrong camera positioning at program startup
- Fixed artefacts with black hole and ship warp effect in stereo modes
- Fixed wrong calculation of orbital period of catalog binary stars
- Fixed interstellar ships magnitude calculation
- Fixed crash on building a ship in interstellar space
- Fixed sprites rendering order in nebulae

Screenshots:

More interesting palettes on titans:


Alien lifeforms on titans (for now they used the same tiles in atlas textures as terras):

YAY~!
So does this mean 0.9.7.4 revision 5 is imminent, or that 0.9.7.5 is on the horizon?

I knew that you would have changed a bit planets appearance after Pluto's encounter cool

Very nice new features by the way!
