RSS Reborn Install Instructions

This page is a step by step guide on installing RSS-Reborn, there are a few recommendations and notes before we get started.

You will need either:

  • 7zip
  • WinRAR
  • Equivalent zip utility that supports partial zips and 7z compression, this does not include the default windows zip utility.



It is recommended that you install RP-1 first via CKAN which can be found here:

https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/releases



If you are currently using the Google Doc version of RSS-Reborn, it is important to completely remove it before hand as the two versions aren't compatible, this includes:

  • RSS-Configs
  • RSS-Terrain
  • RSS-Textures
  • RSSVE-Configs
  • RSSVE-Textures



Automatic Installation (thank you @drobie22)

RSS-Reborn now has an automatic installation option!

You will need to remove folders previously installed by CKAN, it is important that after removing these you do not update them through CKAN

  1. Remove the following folders from your GameData:

    • EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements

    • RealSolarSystem
    • Scatterer

  2. Download my Kopernicus fork from here.

  3. Install EVE and Scatterer from blackrack's patreon.

    a. Do not use StockVolumetricClouds

    b. Do not use StockScattererConfigs

  4. Verify that Parallax is installed, install only Parallax_ScatterTextures, Parallax_StockTextures is not required and can break things.

  5. Download RSS-Configs from here

    • Open the zip, open the zip's file structure until you see GameData, open the zip's GameData folder, you should see RSS-Configs, extract RSS-Configs into your KSP's GameData folder.
