• I don`t seem to find a 1980x1080@60 option in the graphics menu. There are 2 instances of the 1980x1080@30 option instead!
• If I go underwater and manage to do that glitch where you see through the ground, I can see a smaller version of the Earth in the distance! D:

Go to your user data directory, typically Windows User/YourName/Outerra, open eng.cfg in text editor:

Code: [Select]

renderer_config =  (renderer_config) {
screen_width = 1920,
screen_height = 1080,
fullscreen = true,
swap_interval = 0,
msaa = 3,
debug_mode = false,
debug_async = true,
refresh_rate = 60,
disable_composition = false
You can manually set the render configs here.

I've found the the context menu for the resolution in the Graphics settings menu seems to either not have the option (sometimes), or you can't scroll down enough in the menu to see it.

If you are ever having issues after an OT update, it is recommended you delete both eng.cfg and world.cfg and restart OT, which will generate those files from the latest default files. Sometimes an update will not update the parameters in these files and they become corrupted or incompatible with the new version.

P.S. Can you post a screenshot of the mini-Earth inside Earth? I've never heard of that before.

And we shall call it....... MINI earth!! (Cue dramatic Dr Evil music)

You sure it's not the moon underwater?... 

[John514]

Thanks for the fix!
Here`s the mini-Earth:

As you can see, the terrain of the normal sized earth is on the top of the screen and the mini-Earth in the distance!

Jagerbomber assumed correctly, that is the moon seen through the planet. Since the earth mesh is only rendered from one side, the normal side, if you are under the surface, everything is transparent, thus, you can see the moon. It wouldn't be good for performance to render both sides of the terrain mesh.

Wow, I blame me being colorblind!
It was only after I zoomed in I realised thats not the Earth!

[Uriah]

You can also change the moon size by adding this parameter to world.cfg:

Code: [Select]

moon-scale = 4.0,
It isn't there by default, just make sure if it is the very last parameter, to add a comma to the parameter before it, like so:

Code: [Select]

cfg-version = 6226,
moon-scale = 4.0
I have it added under planet parameter, like so:

Code: [Select]

planet = "earth30",
moon-scale = 4.0,
The scale of 4.0 corrects for angular FOV, as seen from Earth.
