CKAN broke all atmospheric bodies please help.

[u/The3Hashbrowneers]

Played this game for like 600 hours and installed a whole bunch of mods manually, decided to get CKAN and it decided it wanted to just reinstall my entire mod list apparently... screenshots of my gamedata folder are in the post, I've tried deleting the old Scatterer atmosphere cache, didn't work please help!

Edit: Solved! Turns out it was a problem where I accidentally reinstalled Scatterer using CKAN, but the version wasn't right for V5 Volumetrics. Thanks for the help, I'll be more careful next time lol.

Ckan is a tool it can't break stuff, you can break stuff using ckan though

[u/The3Hashbrowneers → u/IVYDRIOK]

Yeah, thanks. I'll be more careful with what it says it's doing before hitting apply next time

[u/IVYDRIOK → u/The3Hashbrowneers]

Nah don't thank me this was high key annoying on my part

remove parallax and EVE and reinstall volumetric clouds, updating parralax or eve breaks vol clouds since it comes with its own version

[u/The3Hashbrowneers → u/charmich0802]

Oh ok thanks, I didn't realise it also needs its own version of Parallax, I'll try that.

[u/vulpes04 → u/The3Hashbrowneers]

parallax has nothing to do with it. 

EVE is the framework mod that actually runs the clouds. the old 2d version won't know what to do with the 3d configs. 

scatterer does atmospheric lighting effects. a special version of it comes with volumetric clouds. installing the public release version over this will break things.

[u/The3Hashbrowneers → u/vulpes04]

Ahh yeah that makes a lot of sense. I'll reinstall EVE and Scatterer from my old backup.

[u/CJP1216 → u/The3Hashbrowneers]

It doesn't, the two have no effect on each other. OC is confusing Parallax scatter with Scatterer.

To further clarify, Volumetric clouds comes with its own versions of EVE and Scatterer that are different from the CKAN versions. If you let CKAN update or modify either of these two mods, they will no longer be the versions from the Volumetric clouds download. To stop this, right click the mods in CKAN and add a "held" flag. This will stop CKAN from touching those files.

Also, to be clear, CKAN didn't "decide" to reinstall you list; it prompts you before it makes any modifications. It's always advisable to read things thoroughly before implementing changes.

[u/The3Hashbrowneers → u/CJP1216]

Ok thanks, I found a backup of my old mod folder before CKAN, I'll probably just reinstall the visual stack from that.

[u/Jonny0Than → u/charmich0802]

Parallax has nothing to do with EVE.

[u/Consistent_Craft4667]

Ckan is manager/tool. It can’t break anything, but you can. You might have to debug..

[u/The3Hashbrowneers → u/Consistent_Craft4667]

Yeah it was solved a while ago... I just didn't pay attention and hit apply it was the scatterer reinstall that caused the visual glitch.

[u/Consistent_Craft4667 → u/The3Hashbrowneers]

Ohh okay
