Parallax Continued

Support development at Linx's Patreon

Installation Instructions - Windows

Make sure you first uninstall the old Parallax version if you have it installed.

  1. Download and install the required dependencies:

  2. 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
  3. Browse to ParallaxContinued.zip/GameData and move ParallaxContinued to your GameData folder

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

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

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

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

  8. 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.

  9. Launch the game

  10. 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.

Installation Instructions - Mac

  1. Follow the Windows installation instructions first, but refer to step 2 for running the game
  2. Run Kerbal Space Program using CrossOver with these settings:

If you don't follow the above step, Parallax Continued will not work!

Installation Instructions - Linux

  1. Follow the Windows installation instructions first, but refer to step 2 for running the game
  2. Run Kerbal Space Program using Proton and use DX11

Mods that are fully compatible with and enhance the visual experience when installed with Parallax:

  • Environmental Visual Enhancements (EVE) or EVE Volumetrics (Clouds, rain)

List of Supported Planet Packs

"Author Contacted" means not currently supported, but I've reached out to the author to help get upgrading existing configs started

"Release 2" configs will work with Release 3, but the orbit textures won't be improved.
