[sturdy holly]

Anyone have an opinion on the mod: No Man's Sky Utopia Revamp 2?

Was thinking of trying it out

[magic lava]

I haven't tried Utopia yet, but I've played other overhauls of his and they are enjoyable

[hearty wasp]

If you wanna see how a mod is, just try it

or read the mod page's comment section

[terse raven]

[terse raven]

thx

[supple arch]

Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone here knows anything about the game's save files, specifically which keys in the decompressed file relates to what aspect of the game, such as which keys are for inventories, currencies, items, and others. Even just a resource explaining the saves would be helpful.

[fresh arch]

IF you wanna edit your save data to give yourself stuff, just use the existing save editors

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor

https://github.com/zencq/NomNom

[supple arch]

I don't. I'm thinking about building a project for NMS and I need to be able to identify items in saves

[heavy merlin]

https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/releases the mapping.json there

[supple arch]

Oh awesome thanks
Now I just need NMS on PC 💀

For now random saves online will suffice

Is mbin the new nms save file format?

[heavy merlin]

No, the format the game's data is stored in

[supple arch]

Ah

[solid hawk]

@supple arch Related, a guy recently made this: https://github.com/RedHatter/nms-sort-o-matic/

May help

[supple arch]

Rad seems useful I'll be sure to check it out

Thanks

[solid hawk]

No problem. Seemed germane

[steel crypt]

Es ist nicht deutsch

[supple arch]

after a quick Google search, it definitely is. I'm planning on making a program that has to do with reading save files

Specifically inventories

On another note, does anyone have or know of where i can get some decently up-to-date save files I can borrow? I don't feel like buying NMS at full price and my PC is also currently broken

[solid hawk]

Just asking here, some may be willing to shoot you theirs. Can also try https://discord.gg/AEXcap6 in the savegame-edit channel

[solid hawk]

All of mine are very cheaty and whacked out because the majority of my time spend in game is specifically to test my published mods, not play, so I don't want to waste time with things like resource gathering and repairing stuff. lol

[sharp turtle]

Would it be possible to export terrain data for a given part of a planet, in something like a height map maybe, in order to use it in obs?

[solid hawk]

Not so much, I believe

[marsh eagle]

I'm actually thinking about creating such exporter but for 2d planet maps with POIs. But it's a huge task and can take 1-2 years of work.
So we have no tools or anything close that can help here.
Maybe some 3d live model ripper hack tool can help extracting the bare planet model somehow

[sharp turtle]

Yea, makes sense

[dim mason]

Hi how do I use this save editor?

[round sinew]

first you need a save to work with

[dim mason]

Bro how do I use it?

Lets say I have a save

[solid hawk]

Open up the save editor, choose save you want to edit. Go through the gui and make whatever changes you'd like, save those changes

[solid hawk]

There's two save editors available, NMSSaveEditor and NomNom. Both similar in scope, GUI based for basic changes, and meant to be fairly intuitive for operation. Just give a try and look around the interface of the one you wish to try.

[flint basin]

small question here, I am very new to modding, but I know there are multiple ways to change your ship appearance, but is it changing how you and only you, see the ship, or does it really change its seed ?

explaination: I have a S-class solar ship that I really love, it is the perfect part combination to me, and with a name I really like.
the only thing I would like to change would be its colors, since it is majorly red, and I dont like red lol

[fresh arch]

Mods like True Color change the color palette table the game is using, so only you see the change, and it doesn't affect ship stats in any way

Replacing the seed in save editor with change the overall design of the ship, it's stats and SC slot positions

[flint basin]

I m fully upgraded so I dont really care about stats and slots

does changing the seed changes the name too ?

[fresh arch]

Yup

[flint basin]

meeeeh

[fresh arch]

You can change the name of the ship easily though

[flint basin]

ye I know, but a changed name is not translated in every language, and its why I dont do it

I like names to remain natural

[marsh eagle]

I can recreate your ship with your new colors and possibly also the name

Just send me the ship creation command from nms.center and tell me the name you want

[flint basin]

:0

I ll try that then, if you think you can !

I m unsure of how the colors work on the simulator though (I cant get the right colors, it is instead coloring the whole ship)

[fresh arch]

Yeah the preview is simplified

You won't get a detailed colouring like what game would spawn

[flint basin]

ok then I ll check this out this evening ! may I ping you to recontact you ?

[fresh arch]

For ship customization you'll be better off with Mjstral here or on their server

[dawn gorge]

how do I save edit my save to obtain expedition items which are essentialy unobtainable for me now?

[dawn gorge]

okay so I checked pinned and theres NMSSaveEditor but I dunno how github works

can someone walk me through it?

[fresh arch]

On Goatfungus' SE readme

The blue bit is a link you can click to start the download

[dawn gorge]

oh yea

love you ❤️

[fresh arch]

Please don't

[dawn gorge]

kay?

how do I obtain the expedition stuff from quicksilver guy on anomaly in this saveeditor?

this?

[round sinew]

those are twitch rewards

some of which might have been prev exp rewards

[dawn gorge]

are twitch rewards still obtainable by any means?

[round sinew]

there's no twitch drop campaign running at this time

[dawn gorge]

well I aint gonna watch someone talking about a game while I could be playing said game lol

[round sinew]

see this pinned post here in #nms-modding

#nms-modding message

[dawn gorge]

well

I think Im just gonna check mark these 2 since those are from expeditions and twitch

thus unobtainable

I will make back up just in case

anything goes wrong

seems like it didnt unlock everything

any idea why?

[hearty wasp]

the list in the save editor may not be complete

It requires manual updates from goatfungus and is not automatic

[dawn gorge]

kay kay\

thanks a lot

[green prairie]

install consumerism, save edit quicksilver, buy the expedition items

[fresh arch]

Or edit raw JSON to add the keys for expedition 10 stuff

Guide can be found in pinned messages

gFreighter Custom Freighters

[sturdy holly]

Are there any mods that give more colour options for freighters? Mine came as a black and red and I wanted to change it to look like this one but the white and blue options we have for customization isn't the same, the white looks more dark or grey

[fresh arch]

Prolly not, my guess is we could change the elements of color palette, not add them

[sturdy holly]

Well I'd like a true white over the greyish one we have typically, wish we could change the colours of stuff with actual hex codes

[karmic elk]

Can you get expeditions rewards on a PS4 save using a PS4 save file on the save editor?

[flint basin]

are there mods to fix the hangar color glitch ?

[fresh arch]

Prolly not

[magic lava]

Yes

[karmic elk]

Sorry for all the questions. Can someone else do the editing or do you have to do it yourself?

[undone glade]

Calling all NMS modding experts: Is there a way to improve grass loading when you move fast in a planet's surface?

I feel like it takes a while to pop-in and looks off

[hearty wasp]

If Fine LOD or anything you search "grass" on Nexus for doesn't then no

[hearty wasp]

Can, yes, will, prolly not

[karmic elk]

That’s all I need to know 😊. Thank you.

[night adder]

@flint basin dont need mods, save editing home seed can fix hangar colours

[merry birch]

I need some help with this. I just downloaded the NMS modding station because I want to custom paint a ship

Howver Im having trouble with the MBINcompiler and the EXMLeditor

Whenever I try to set it somewhere it opens up my files and makes me select a .exe

What do I do??

Now its saying that I messed up the PCBANKS path. Ive been putting them in a new folder, but I fuess thats wrong? I need help lol

[steel crypt]

You can’t custom paint a ship….unless you are trying to change the palettes for all ships.

[merry birch]

Wait wut?

[steel crypt]

There’s no way to custom paint a ship via modding or save editing.

[merry birch]

oh

[steel crypt]

A particular ship that is.

[merry birch]

So if I change the color palette itll affect all my ships?

[fresh arch]

Yes

[steel crypt]

It will affect all ships in game except Royal ships.

[fresh arch]

If you want new ship colours for one particular Shi in your collection

[steel crypt]

Bio ships have their own separate palettes also.

[fresh arch]

You need to edit the seed value for it in save editor

[merry birch]

Thats ironic bcuz the one ship I want to change is a Royal

[fresh arch]

It will generate new stats, name and SC slots layout

[steel crypt]

If you are trying to make a color for a Royal that doesn’t exist in game then you will have to mod some Royal textures, which will affect all royals in game that used the original color you modded.

[merry birch]

Oh, that sucks

Nvm

[brazen pollen]

Is there a way to easily get (external to the game) all the planet/moon info like names, glyphs codes, etc. from every planet/moon one has a base on or discovered ?

[solid hawk]

Could invite a friend over to have a save edit party. 🥳

[solid hawk]

Not the discovery, but some of that should be accessible in your saves, via raw json. Both save editors can give you access. Up to you if you want to put together an automated means to parse and scrape just that info out.

[karmic elk]

That would be a good party 🎊.

[hearty wasp]

And sentinel ships, no?

[drowsy solstice]

my list of mods are building up, found this amazing mod that darkens the portal effect, absolutely love it

[rich harbor]

Hello there, I've been attempting to apply the crystal sentinels skin to either the drone pet or the buildable laylaps drone, but being new to this, I'm facing some challenges, haha! Could anyone kindly provide some helpful information or tips? Thank you very much!

[drowsy solstice]

is this a mod you are talking about ?

[rich harbor]

I'm trying to make it yeah, but being a novice what I know I'm learing as I go.

[drowsy solstice]

post a link to the mod and i will take a look

[rich harbor]

there is no mod uploaded just what I'm trying here locally

[drowsy solstice]

oh ok then im no good to you lol

[rich harbor]

shall i send the .luas

[rich harbor]

there is the https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1868 that has a mention of them but says its not active due to no having a GcCreatureComponentData entry in the xml but could I not just create my own and repack the .pak to implement the changes or does it go deeper than that?

[drowsy solstice]

i guess if you were to make the necessary changes it should work, give it a try, i mean the worse that could happen is it doesn't work.

[solid hawk]

You need to add the <Property value="GcInteractionComponentData.xml"> block CompanionPet adds to those creatures ENTITY files. This is what adds the E interaction menu for pets. Whether it'll work or not 🤷

Last time I tried enabling the crystal creature it was invisible. I co-author companion pet, btw

[hearty wasp]

SPIDER_SMALLQUAD_MESH.ENTITY.MBIN doesn't exist, for one

you'd need to do a lot more than shoving in an interaction component

you'll need to yeet anything enemy related

you'll also need to yeet any network related data

cos anything not vanilla being net replicated will break your connection in mp

on top of that I'm don't rember much how creature movement is defined but even if it all goes thru your new quad laylaps will prolly be floating

cos obviously you'd prolly need to use the laylaps creature type instead of the corrupted quad creature type

cos they are, in fact, two creatures with different configured behaviour

[hearty wasp]

that is, unless, you fuck with creature data table as well to change up the laylaps type itself

if it is a type that exists in that table

it maybe in robots table

[rich harbor]

a lot to go and look at thanks for the info it gives me some direction

[hearty wasp]

it gets easier when you actually get to know what each entity component does

get to reading the exml

[rich harbor]

yeah I decompiled them yesterday and created a backup so I don't need to again might take a break here soon xD too much for today is this page https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:Landing_Page still relevant? I would assume so but you know what they say.

[hearty wasp]

yeah on top of that I don't really know how the laylaps entity works

cos apparently it's got antagonist and destructible data

on top of that it uses FriendlyDrone and not Pet interaction type

[hearty wasp]

yeah it's somewhat up to date

but a lotta knowledge are just in brains

[rich harbor]

Not in mine sadly, Wish I had the knowledge to get it done with no issue xD but I'll struggle through until enough is enough or I get it done.

[hearty wasp]

you can just ask if you need to know anything in the exml

more modders in !moddinglink tho

[solid hawk]

I thought you were asking a play related question, not modding

[rich harbor]

Oh, my bad. I should have been more specific. I'm trying to make a mod and have little to no idea. LMAO

I have been doing some reading of a few endless pits of information but it's all new to me at the moment so gonna take a while to get a grip of it.

[solid hawk]

Yep, modding server is more in-line, for any further questions, after you take onboard what Quintessential Professional laid out for you

BTW, nice job with the scripts. Good to see a self-starter. 🙂

[rich harbor]

they only look like that as I have learned from yours and created a basic template based of that, thank you

[solid hawk]

I learned from others as well. We all start from 0 and build on that

Except the modder Lenni, who was born knowing everything

[rich harbor]

Some are GODS

I am not.

Just a pleb trying to learn, giving up for the night. xD

Need a break.

Peace out guys and ty

[solid hawk]

Night Hopefully TTYS

[serene sorrel]

The example/template scripts are a godsend for helping understand how they're arranged

[solid hawk]

Oh, just looked at the scripts you posted....seem oddly familiar. lol. Those are old and deprecated. That methology crapped out long ago. Wasn't worth the time or effort then to attempt to fix or figure out what was happening, since quad was becoming an official pet and sandworm could be acquired via CompanionPet. This was a hand-me-down mod to me. So I listed myself as maintainer. If I hadn't deprecated it and did a complete rework to fix, then I would change to co-author.

FYI, if your plan is to publish to NexusMods and you're going to use somebody elses script like that 1) ask permission first 2) you'll need to give credit in there to original author(s). For a simple value change script, not necessary, all the same, For the UniqueCompanions line, the methodology was unique (when it worked), so credit where credit is due and NexusMods is actually very protective of authors content.

[rich harbor]

I have no issues with this anything I'm doing here is for my own use and personal amusement/frustration xD However if I do get it to work I will give it over to someone here to post as I don't care for credit myself, I just like to play and mess with the files of games that allow it.

[steel crypt]

Probably yes. Haven't messed with those.

[hearty wasp]

understandable

[rich harbor]

Well this is the best I've got so far!

Might just be that guy with the horde xD

[fresh arch]

What the

[rich harbor]

IKR, All I want is a pet crystal drone

[fresh arch]

Hey, breaking shit to the point of absurdity is the 1st step to get shit done

So keep it up!

[serene sorrel]

I don't know why but it makes me picture a flock of seagulls

[rich harbor]

Thanks I shall 🙂 I ended up getting the drone to spawn but when it does it only spawns as a corruptdrone with all the traits, how could I implement it in the .lua that it makes the needed edits when building the mod if anyone knows please and ty

[rich harbor]

Once I get this Drone done I'll try xD

[undone glade]

Can someone help me find a specific mod? I remember playing with one that gave you more control of your ship when flying low, not having the game autocorrect that much for you so you don't hit the ground and in general giving you more leeway to move around, like a more realistic flying model

[rich harbor]

NaturalFlight_Fast_Brakes is a good one

[undone glade]

Can't seem to find it on Nexus?

[rich harbor]

it's in the NMUMSS ModScriptCollection

not sure of anywhere else tbf

Am I aloud to post files here guys? If so I can pack it up rq for @undone glade

[sturdy holly]

So I used the companion pet unlocker to get a sandworm but it seems like everytime I summon it, it runs off like 10 seconds later and despawns immediately, is there a way to prevent that? I even tried reducing it's size to see if that'd help

[rich harbor]

no idea sorry

[sturdy holly]

Oh he's also spinning around me at mach 10 lmao

[summer socket]

Wish I could mod the xbox version

[rich harbor]

Oh I have a flyer like that made by the one and only @elfin dagger

[rich harbor]

I could pass you a few Modded pets at some point later if you would like just send a DM with your friend code

[sturdy holly]

Has anyone used the REDMAS mods?

I'm using one and it's all good and dandy but it keeps changing my ships colours despite me changing the setting in the LUA as "OFF" for the repainted ship colours

[solid hawk]

It's basically a bad roll on traits. From a modding perspective, not much can be done to affect that. You can try save editing though. Read the article at https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/articles/100 and take a look at the comment. Passive is probably your best bet.

Have to keep in mind with the creatures in Companion Pet that HG never meant for them to be pets and in the mod, the main change made is only to add the E interaction menu so they can be pets.

[summer socket]

okay im new to this im just trying to get all the season rewards that i missed, so how do i get my save from xbox?

How to make your LS to have Mechanical after 4.0 update

On Raw JSON, your LS will now have new values in new directory.
Although it is a similar one like the one existed in pre-4.0, it's slightly different.

There will be a BaseStatValues folder within each Inventory folder, Inventory, Inventory_Cargo, Inventory_TechOnly.

Find these lines and remove it from all the BaseStatValues folders :

     "BaseStatID":"^ALIEN_SHIP",
     "Value": 1.0
  },```
... Congrats! now your LS can mount mechanical modules.

It would work on opposite way, by adding that line onto mechanical ship's BaseStatValues.

[hearty wasp]

Does this not invalidate a ship from having LS components anymore?

[mental marsh]

It sadly still invalidate 😢 , but there is weird instance though.

if you convert mechanical ship that never have became LS before into LS, the ship will spawn up LS's core parts while keeping its mechanical parts.

Ah right.. converting Mechanical into LS, I didn't explained that part, but you would know how to already.

Swapping mechanical ship's MBIN into cause LS's core part to respawn.

though I dont know what really causing that.. I might look into what making both tech validated next week.

[cursive hemlock]

can I somehow edit upgrade modules values?

[fresh arch]

Yup, by editing the seed values on the procedural tech

[cursive hemlock]

can I do that on NMSSE? if yes then how?

[fresh arch]

Not sure never did it

I would assume it's the value past the # sign

Or in raw JSON view

[cursive hemlock]

Where are ship's tech module slots located?

ve been looking

and cant find it

[fresh arch]

The big bar on top should have a section for starships

Then from the drop down list you select the starship you're interested in

[cursive hemlock]

we talking about json editor?

[fresh arch]

3 clicks from loading up the save

[cursive hemlock]

I do have eyes

[cursive hemlock]

I was talking about JSON EDITOR

[fresh arch]

And Im not

Because GUI offers the same functionality and it's more straightforward

[cursive hemlock]

this is useless cant change stats here

[fresh arch]

Sure you can

[cursive hemlock]

How am I supposed to know what ID to set to get the stats I want

[fresh arch]

You can use the !component command in #bot-spam to get seed values for perfect techs

[cursive hemlock]

yeah what about if I dont want the "game's" values and I want go over limit

[fresh arch]

I don't know if game will allow you go to over a limit

[cursive hemlock]

what kind of data does "mf_accountdata.hg" and "accountdata.hg" contain? I know its account data but what exactly?

[night adder]

@cursive hemlock Claimable expedition rewards and twitch drops, titles

There won't be a folder with your player / user name

[cursive hemlock]

yea I can see

there is just some random ass files

so how do I transfer the save??

There is a pin on converting the saves

So I reckon you should check it out

[cursive hemlock]

jesus its mad complicated

[fresh arch]

Well, that's the price you pay for doing something outside of realm of officially supported stuff

[cursive hemlock]

what if I dont have UID in my save

I just leave it blank

?

[cursive hemlock]

ayyy fucking ez

save transfer complete

without that useless pinned message

it made it more complicated then it is

only thing that changed is my freighter class lmao

it went from S to C

make a better guide and they will pin yours instead

also there's a mod warning screen when mods are loaded so you'll def notice that anyway

[summer socket]

im gamepass version im a tinker so thats why i asked

[hearty wasp]

neither of em really matters

[summer socket]

huh?

[hearty wasp]

mods work on gamepass just the same

[summer socket]

well i dont see mods menu?

[hearty wasp]

you need to be on Nexus to get mods

[summer socket]

oof ok im there my bad

trying to take to xbox lol

[hearty wasp]

xbox don't work

only gamepass on pc

[summer socket]

oof that sucks

they need to bring to console

[fresh arch]

Then I highly recommend letting "them" know

Instead of typing it for Nth time here

We don't make the game, folks at HG do

[hearty wasp]

if you wish to hack your Xbox it'd be more useful going to a xbox hacking community

not that I condone it, for legal reasons

wink wink

@hearty wasp true true I did 360 haha wasn't the best idea

[open wave]

Hey

Anyone on right now..>?

That can help me out?

Trying to find a download link for Atlas Rises 1.3

[fresh arch]

This is not something we support on this server

There is a community dedicated to playing the legacy versions of the game

You can find it easily with Google

[timid burrow]

Have an announcement to make...

I've been working on a small app/exe/bot (depends) for custom repainting ships. This is catered towards users that have access to save editor and know how to edit Raw JSON. Users will be required to paste the generated output of this app/bot into correct ship folder in the Raw JSON.

I'm almost at the last leg, so far this app/exe/bot will allow users to:

• Select a ship type (choices between fighter, hauler, solar, explorer, interceptor, living ship).
• Allow hex code to be inputted according to ship type in 5, 4, or 3 fields with easy to understand names.
• On a button press generate a JSON.

This JSON is formatted properly and can be simply copied to replace the Raw JSON in the save editor for custom painting the ship.

Currently only Fighter and Hauler is ready to being tested but the final version will have all of the mentioned ships. I can also make it so that Multi-tools and Freighters are included.

Once I've completed and tested the app/bot (special support and contribution by @night adder) I'll release it for everyone to use.

[fresh arch]

Damn, sounds awesome

[timid burrow]

I was pumped when it generated the correct JSON for fighter.

[flint basin]

that is great ! I guess it is only visible to yourself, and not to other players ?

[timid burrow]

Yeah, two limitations

1. Custom painting is only available to PC players (Xbox gamepass on PC users included)
2. Multiplayer doesn't show custom paints, if show an odd cyan painted ship.

Large message incoming

code generated output for hex #ffeeff when user selects "fighter".

[strange dune]

Hi, what are the best mods to make the game look better and/or optimize it

[timid burrow]

Does it loop after end?

[fresh arch]

Nope, plays one time and finishes

[fresh arch]

There aren't much optimization mods, the only mod that comes to mind is removing the lag when leaving planets

If you search the Nexus for "lag" it should pop up

As for visuals, highly subjective but most people will recommend you ArghWater, Duds Sky Colours, Exosolar's mods like Stratos

[timid burrow]

That's fine then. What if we start another song in the middle?

[strange dune]

And for terrain generation ?

[fresh arch]

Sadly the audio files will overlap

I'm just borrowing existing game pieces which play music on certain actions

And put them on an item one can hold in Inventory

Since the original music bits were not meant to be interupted or paused, neither are these

[fresh arch]

I don't deal with terrain gen mods, you might check out Redmas Utopia mod or Better Planet Generation mods

[steel crypt]

DUD’S SKY - TERRA FIRMA

[magic lava]

Self promo

He's not wrong though

Utopia doesn't play nice with anything else, so if you use that only use that

[strange dune]

Can i put DUD'S SKY - COLORS, Exosolar's Grass Fix, Exosolar's Expanse
, Exosolar's Stratos
, Exosolar's Abyss
and arghWater together ?

[strange dune]

ok thanks

[fresh arch]

Lol sorry for not including your other piece of work

[strange dune]

But people who don't have the mod see what in relation to me, and if I uninstall the mod what does it do to the planets?

[steel crypt]

Not at all friend. I got a chance to self promo for Gleam. 😀

If you uninstall the mods, everything will be like it was before using the mods.

[timid burrow]

Fair!

[steel crypt]

If someone isn’t using the mods, they will not see what a person using the mods sees.

[timid burrow]

It's still nice to have the actual soundtracks in the inventory.

[strange dune]

He'll just see me walking in the air or on the ground, same for my bases

[steel crypt]

I don’t exactly understand what you mean about bases.

[fresh arch]

Terrain data is not sent to other players

Your player position is

If you build a base on a mountain that is not present in vanilla game

Then the base will be floating in the air for other players

... probably

[steel crypt]

Correct….or underground or between.

[fresh arch]

This is why I don't deal with terrain gen mod, too much hassle and just asking for problems

[steel crypt]

If the other player uses the mod, they will see the same thing you do.

[green prairie]

if he uploads a base that was built on a modded terrain

the base will appear floating or buried to others without the mod

same as any base built on vanilla terrain, for you they will all show up either buried or floating depending of how much of the terrain changed

terrain mod is pretty simple if you don't care about others

[solid hawk]

You will have some conflicts in there, rule is, in these cases, last .pak in MODS applied wins.

[edgy star]

I have a situation that I cannot explain, mods work for me if installed into the standard nms installation folder from steam eg g:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS but not into an alternative install location such as g:\nms_modded\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS. I usually create a copy of heavily modded games so steam updates do not break my current play through, I do this for a bunch of games and normally don't have an issue but for NSM my second install just won't load the mods. For the second install I of course run the executable from the secondary location, not steam. Any ideas?

[fresh arch]

Does the 2nd location has DISABLEMODS.TXT removed from the PCBANKS folder?

[edgy star]

yes, it does

I checked for hard coded paths in any files I could find but I see none, I also checked AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS but I see nothing there either

ok, so here is something I have also not come across before, if I launch G:\NMS_Modded\Binaries\NMS.exe and open up task manager it tells me the running executable is in G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries, I am trying further things to understand why this is.

I renamed the original installation folder and as soon as I run the executable in the secondary folder I get an error from steam saying that original folder cannot be found and it tries to download NMS again. It seems that the NMS executable is heavily tied into Steam for DRM or something along those lines to the point you can't even run it from another location. That's a shame since we can't tell steam to no longer update games like we could a long time back.

Not being able to run from another location along with forced updates means we are basically playing with a ticking timebomb as to when our game will break from an update if not mods are not also updated to go along with it. I use this secondary install technique for games such as Valheim, 7 Days to Die, Empyrion etc to prevent this exact problem and they work fine.

[fresh arch]

we can't tell steam to no longer updates games

???

[edgy star]

you could a long.... time ago, not since a while now

[solid hawk]

Could try move install folder.

[edgy star]

Moving it doesn't help, somehow the exe that is launched is almost sort of double checking with steam if it's the "right one" being used (that's as best I can put it so that the idea gets across) and then launches the original exe, I have no idea how this is being done and is a first for me.

[solid hawk]

I know there's drm in the exe, but not seem what you are. I have my nms install in an alternate location, on my d:\ partition

As far as disabling updates I don't know, but I know who would....

Is anyone able to walk me through how to get the normandy ship as part of my frigate fleet

[solid hawk]

Use consumerism or season reward unlocker mod. Claim from the qs shop in the Nexus

[fresh arch]

Or use a save editor to edit the account data and check the box for Normandy reward

[solid hawk]

That too. A plethora of available options

[opaque flare]

So...how do I use a save editor lol. I am COMPLETLY new to moddiing NMS

[solid hawk]

If 4 equals a plethora, lol

Which, there's 2

[fresh arch]

Start with stating what platform you're on

[opaque flare]

You're gonna love this, MacOS

[fresh arch]

Ooofff

[solid hawk]

You're hosed

[opaque flare]

BUT I also have a tower I can use. Will that reward cross over to the Mac port?

[fresh arch]

Unless you manage to get save data via Steam cloud or something to PC

[solid hawk]

Maybe goafungus, as it's java based

[opaque flare]

Steam Cloud does sync the two

[fresh arch]

Step 1 then, get the save data synced to PC

Step 2, get this save editor: https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor, download link in description

(and you will need to install Java runtime to get it working)

[edgy star]

when using amumss to check for conflicts it tells you the pak filesname which are conflicting but is there a way to also find out the entry/line/variable that is conflicting as well?

[hearty wasp]

Can't

Not with AMUMSS anyway

If you like you can start unpacking your mods, decompiling them and comparing them manually

Else you can just beg the mod author to make a lua for the mod

[edgy star]

right, I also have lua's but the same thing would apply right, several lua's might edit the same entry, amumss will merge them and create a pak but you won't directly know which value it used for a conflict without going through in detail and comparing everything, it won't actually tell you which lines were conflicting

[hearty wasp]

If that's the case you may just want to not use one of the luas anyway

Most of the time it won't so I wouldn't worry about it

Unless you're using two mods that basically do the exact same thing

e.g. 2 different biome mods or terrain mods

[edgy star]

right, the mods are different but somehow conflict, amumss is a great tool but I was just wondering if there was a way to get it to also show the actual conflicts alas you have made it clear it's not possible

thanks for the info!

[hearty wasp]

You can know if you know how to read lua and the data structure

But that requires some learning and most don't do it

[fresh arch]

Maybe you could just post the links to mods here

And someone will see what's the conflicting data is

[edgy star]

while I would appreciate that I like to learn for myself so I can be self sufficient and do it for now and in the future, I mod most games I play so by learning I don't have to keep asking others all the time, I will work it out, thanks though

is it possible that amumms is simply announcing a "possible" conflict because it sees two lua's or paks referencing the same named .mbin file even if the values edited within might be different (and therefore no real conflict exists) or is that not how it works?

[fresh arch]

That's how it works, conflicts are detected on the file level

Modding works by taking an existing game file, modifying it and presenting the game with a modified version of that file

So 2 mods that modify the same file X, but one changing line 10, other changing line 2137 will still be conflicting, because each of them will try to push its own version of file X

What you need in this case is creating a combined mod, that carries over both changes in 1 file

This is done by putting multiple LUA scripts in AMUMSS and selecting the option to create a combined mod

[solid hawk]

You do know which, last script processed would win in the case of multiple changing the same line.

Let's take the example of two scripts that make changes to the same file. AMUMSS will pull a fresh vanilla copy of the file from your game files. The changes specified in script 1 will be applied, then the changes in script 2.

That modified game file will then be .paked up for your modding use.

Works a bit differently for patch .paks, but we won't go into those, too many potential issues.

[weary ruin]

if you want to see the differences:
You could run script A **alone **in ModScript, save the EXML_Helper\MODDED files to a A folder (as an exemple)
Run script B **alone **in ModScript, save the EXML_Helper\MODDED files to a B folder
Now you can compare the content of the MODDED files that were reported as CONFLICT

AppData is a folder that is normally hidden and it tends to hold configuration install. It doesn't hold the binaries.

[fallow meadow]

@lime mesa For save transfer, I recommend trying NomNom (save editor) first, considering it has updated again, asasuming transfer works properly again

[lime mesa]

Ok i will try thx

[fallow meadow]

The other solution linked to by @round sinew will work, but was made to be a temporary solution. If NomNom fails, it would work fine though

[lime mesa]

Do you have a link for how to transfer directly with nomnom? Because I just use it to retrieve my JSON me

[fallow meadow]

Should be pinned, but let me grab it for you

📌 #nms-modding message

[lime mesa]

Thx ❤️

[fallow meadow]

If you have any issues getting it to work properly, let us know.

[lime mesa]

Well once on the software I don't see where to convert it to pass the save to steam

[fallow meadow]

Ok, let me open up NomNom and look with you

[lime mesa]

Ok i find

[fallow meadow]

Once your saves have loaded, you can then click 'Edit' at the top, to select 'Save Transfer', which explains in detail.

[lime mesa]

And the USN / UID / LID to enter is that of the save gamepass or steam?

[fallow meadow]

You are transferring from Game Pass to Steam?

[lime mesa]

yep

[fallow meadow]

Then it knows the Game Pass already, because it has taken the info from the save you are going to transfer

[lime mesa]

So in the empty boxes there is the steam information

[fallow meadow]

I think so, although I do find it odd to see the XB filled in already for PTK, because the new platform should be ST

[lime mesa]

Yep me too

[fallow meadow]

It says you need to enter the info for 'both' sides, but I only see one side. Left side is choosing the Gaame Pass, and the right side should then be Steam. Maybe the right side will show later?

So now I think it wants the left side to be Game Pass, but I would not understand why, because that info is already in the save data

Sorry, I have never actually used it myself

Ah yes, I got it

So left side you chose the save to transfer from Game Pass (XB) and fill in the info from Game Pass.

At the right side you choose the Steam save to transfer to, where you then also get the option to fill in the Steam info

From what I know, it is recommended to have a Steam save created already, with just a single base made and saved

See image, where I have Game Pass on the left, and Steam on the right

The detection fails for both, so you will have to try fill this in yourself.

@lime mesa How is it going for you?

UID and LID are going to be identical for Game Pass on the left, which I do not know, and for Steam they are both going to be 76561198262138939

[lime mesa]

I will go try

Thats work !!!

[lime mesa]

I just want 3 mods ^^

A mod for stacking

And a mod for free builds

[fallow meadow]

Ok, so download the mods, then browse to the correct location to only put the .pak files.

Then you have to remove or rename one file that prevents mods from loading.

[lime mesa]

There are some mods without the .pak

[fallow meadow]

Every mod needs .pak file(s)

Do some of them create the .pak?

[lime mesa]

This mod is StackResize

And he have 2 files

StackResize.dll
StackResize.ini

[fallow meadow]

Is that mod on Nexus?

That mod

And for the link of the mod with the .dll and .ini is that one

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/108?tab=files&file_id=734&nmm=1

[fallow meadow]

The StackSize mod I can not find, but being a .dll, sounds like it needs to be installed differently, as I assume it does code injection

[lime mesa]

Well anyway I can't install any mod without any crash on loading so

[fallow meadow]

And that StackSize mod is from 2016, which is most likely outdated

I could be wrong though, but 2016 is long time ago

[lime mesa]

But the ohter

Last update 2022

[fallow meadow]

Might be outdated too

[lime mesa]

It seems strange to me, I will try with a very recent mod to see

[fallow meadow]

Try gBase, or Beyond Baase Building to replace the No Limit Building

[fallow meadow]

It is easy to check, just remove the .pak for it and see if it still crashes

[lime mesa]

Nope

[lime mesa]

I just want a mod that makes building free.

[fallow meadow]

Both base building mods I suggested, do the same, but not free resources by default. You can however adjust your game settings to make things free.

[lime mesa]

Ok and for the stacking ?

Any idea ?

[fallow meadow]

gStack Multiplier?

[lime mesa]

Il will try thx

[fallow meadow]

You can do a search for 'stack' and then sort by 'last updated' and see what you like. Updates regularly break mods, so make sure it was updated recently

Go by recently updated mods

[solid hawk]

@lime mesa Any mod, that isn't TEXTURE only, older than June of this year would, more likely than not, crash the game. With NMS, mods must be updated to at least the current major version to work.

So, do not bother looking at most endorsed or most popular, many of which would be abandoned older things, just use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently#, working backwards, to see what's updated.

[cursive hemlock]

how do I unlock derelict frighter bps in nomnom?

[hardy dune]

if i verify my game files would that get rid of my mods

[hearty wasp]

no just yeet DISABLEMODS again

verifying game files never delete files, nor does moving your install folder

only replace where contents don't match with the depot

[kindred stone]

what's this robot type ship in the nms save editor?

[kindred stone]

why is my expedition 10 rewards still locked? I unlocked every expedition reward using the save edit

[fresh arch]

Robot = Interceptor

As for expedition rewards, what exactly did you do?

We have a guide to unlocking those in pinned messages

Did you follow it or do some other steps?

[kindred stone]

i opened the save editor and checked unlocked for everything in the season rewards

just that

[fresh arch]

Last time I checked the Goatfungus SE was not updated for rewards for Singularity, so these did not show up on list in account data

Instead one had to manually edit the raw JSON and input ID codes for each reward

That's what the guide is about

[kindred stone]

ohhh icic ty, I will check it l8r

[fresh arch]

So yeah, last update of Goatfungus SE was BEFORE the expedition even launched

[kindred stone]

Dang, I missed the expedition, was hoping to get it that's why I installed the save editor 😭

[magic lava]

What about NomNom?

[kindred stone]

NomNom?

Is it buggy to change my ship by editing it's seed thru save editor?

[fallow meadow]

NomNom is another save editor which has updated to include Expedition 10 rewards

[kindred stone]

Ohhh ic

Will try that l8r

[fallow meadow]

See link here: #nms-modding message

[fallow meadow]

Not that I am aware, but what exactly are you trying/expecting?

[kindred stone]

I want to start a playthrough with a ship that I plan to keep forever in that save. A main ship

Like the first ship I own(the crashed one) will be a ship that I'll use mainly, so I want it to be one I like

[fallow meadow]

You can alter just the seed, which will give you different colours/parts for that specific type of ship. You can also alter ship type or class itself. Just keep in mind that you are not getting the base values to match doing it this way

So sure, your starter is a fighter, if you have a seed value for a cool one, you can change it and it should match looks

[kindred stone]

Can't I change the base stats too?

[kindred stone]

I want to change that crashed fighter ship(the first ship) to a sentinel one

[fallow meadow]

Yes, there are values you can alter. Just be careful to stick to values that make sense. I have seen issues when players gave it insane values

[kindred stone]

Yeah, I'll search online for the base values for sentinel ships

[fallow meadow]

Just look at the editor options, and you will see there are quite a few things you can alter

[kindred stone]

Other than that, no other problems when editing the ship?

[fallow meadow]

Not that I am aware, although some ships will require different technology to be used, so keep that in mind as your inventory/tech is already occupied with specific tech

[kindred stone]

Yeah, it automatically deletes tech not supported by the ship

Thanks

[fallow meadow]

If it doesn't quite work out, feel free to ask for assistance again

Oh and make sure you have a backup, just in case

[kindred stone]

Ayt

[solid hawk]

The big stat to watch out for is Maneuverability. Set it much above 60, I believe is the cutoff value, and your ship will turn into a fidget spinner.

[fallow meadow]

Setting Shield value too high will break MP

Not sure what the limits are though

[solid hawk]

Good to know

[kindred stone]

Where should I look for ship stats?

I honestly don't know where to look haha. Can you guys give stats I should just give to my sentinel

[fallow meadow]

An easy way to do it properly, is to get an A-class, add whatever you need to upgrade class at the Space Station terminal, and make it S-class there

That way you let the game handle the values

[kindred stone]

Does core mean base stats? Without the modules and stuff

[fallow meadow]

Yes, that should be the core values for your ship

But those are calculated values though, not what you see in editor

[kindred stone]

dang

[fallow meadow]

Here I have some values from my S-class Interceptor

[kindred stone]

Thanks, you just made this so much easier

[kindred stone]

what should I download? this is for nomnom

[fallow meadow]

On the right side of the page, you see 'releases', go there and grab the top one (.zip). Or scroll down on the main page until you find 'Download'

[kindred stone]

yeah I found it thanks

[plain oyster]

Is it possible to also get NomNom on my xbox console

Rather then just my pc

[night adder]

@plain oyster no

But provided you can load nms onto a PC, you can use cloudsave to xfer from XB to PC,save edit, then sync cloud from PC and grab the edited data to play on XB

[plain oyster]

Damn

[cursive hemlock]

is there a risk if I change my nickname in JSON file?

[hearty wasp]

it'll prolly have no effect so no

[cursive hemlock]

yea it didnt even change

[wispy onyx]

are there any mods for performance`?

[fresh arch]

Not really, I can think of only one such mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2672

[wintry cedar]

Is there a way to remove a quest . like Starbirth with a save editor ?

[hearty wasp]

Sure but it can cause instability

It's better if you just finish it instead

[wintry cedar]

ok ,,but how could I do it .. have a backup if something goes wrong

[hearty wasp]

You just delete the related block of data in the json

Use NMSSE for that

but just so you know a lotta quests are interlinked with each other

[wintry cedar]

The goatfungus you mean ?

[hearty wasp]

so if you yeet one the others can bug out

[hearty wasp]

ye

[wintry cedar]

ok.. than I guess I´ll stay from it .. thanks 🙂

[hearty wasp]

most of the time we just make people advance their quests when it's not progressing

[wintry cedar]

hmm

can I delete it ?

[hearty wasp]

idk what you've selected on the left

if you gonna upload a screenshot next time just upload the entire window

[wintry cedar]

Current Mission ID .. got that damn Settlement mission

[hearty wasp]

it usually has more data

[wintry cedar]

thats all

[hearty wasp]

I'm assuming you're selecting just the ID field

[wintry cedar]

Did not visit it so far

[hearty wasp]

screenshot the entire window

[hearty wasp]

that's your currently selected mission

not the actual mission data

[wintry cedar]

ok

It pops up all the time

[hearty wasp]

can you not just select another quest

in game

[wintry cedar]

yeah ,, sure ... but this one is really anoying .. it always pops up in between

but ok ... was just a question ... if it would be an easy task .. but in this case .. I stay with it

[hearty wasp]

you do understand if you delete that quest your entire settlement may just also bug out right

cos they're related?

anyway if you want to delete it so much just go in missionpregress, search up that mission ID in the screenshot, and delete the entire block

[urban blade]

wait is modding a thing in NMS? with it being a multiplayer game and such

[urban blade]

wait the small freezing when leaving a planets atmosphere isnt just me??

[serene sorrel]

Mods are a bit limited in scope compared to like Skyrim but yes PC can be modded. You can use multiplayer while using mods but anything that affects enemies, animals, terrain, etc can cause issues because what you're seeing won't be what they're seeing. Don't do MP with any sort of gameplay/terrain affecting mods unless everyone is using identical mods

Visiting someone else's base while using a terrain affecting mod might have their base appear underground or in the air, for example

[urban blade]

i just learned this and im baffled

[hearty wasp]

Read pin #nms-modding message

[solid hawk]

It's easy, mods run locally only. Full data is not synced. Let's say somebody else is running a terrain mod. You can see that person running across the sky, because to him/her it's mountainous, but for you a flat plain.

In other games, mods may break MP, because they are designed to do so. In NMS they are designed in a way not to. At least not as often.

[timid burrow]

Hey all 👋

So I took a small detour from the original app I was building, the NMS Ship Repainter, to work on a something I have been ignoring for a while. That being said, I've found time and created an app for everyone to use (those who can initially). This is a proper "installable" application for Windows, and I am planning to share the project on GitHub as well.
It's nothing fancy, just a simple GUI based NMS Power Calculator for base parts that require power.

You can download the app from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gGHKVE7vBLvmOI_1Bx-c9ezz9ZEY0lRd/view?usp=drive_link
The images show what the app does.

[fresh arch]

Nice work @timid burrow

[timid burrow]

Thank you 😄

[wispy onyx]

idk much about how the game saves its stuff but you could try parsing and reading the save game file?

[timid burrow]

It is done by the Save Editor. NMSSE or NomNom are best for this work

[drowsy solstice]

late response but this 1 is better as it allows you to self update with each game update if needed https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2812

so no need to wait on the mod author to do it

[fresh arch]

The original mod had instructions on how to build it for every new game version

[drowsy solstice]

really ?

i never noticed

[fresh arch]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2217

See the DO IT YOURSELF section

[drowsy solstice]

ah so it did, i never really looked as it was old

ah i see the difference the one i posted is simple 1 click method, just a quick run of a .bat file

basically the same method just simplified

[drowsy solstice]

downloaded, this will help me manage my power a lot thanks mythos

[timid burrow]

You're welcome. Please share errors or things you may want to see improved if possible. 😄
I hope this tool comes handy

[drowsy solstice]

will do

[plain oyster]

how do i get the Living fragment A and B base parts
when adding expedition rewards through editors it is not present, despite it being a expedition 10 reward
I cant find it in the JSON either

[round sinew]

what save editor are you using?

[plain oyster]

Nomnom

[cursive hemlock]

can I edit freighter seed so it is full black?

[round sinew]

have you tried reading this pinned post #nms-modding message ?

[plain oyster]

wdym?

im just asking how to get this item lol

if it is even an actual useable item

[round sinew]

if you read that link, that link teaches how to unlock exp rewards..

[plain oyster]

I already have them all unlocked, I’m asking if the item is from the expedition.

Or what it is from in general

[round sinew]

that wasn't clear at all

[plain oyster]

^

How do I get the living fragment a and B base parts

[round sinew]

i mean, if you just wanted to know if living frag a/b are exp10 rewards, all you needed to do was ask precisely that

[plain oyster]

Thought I was lol

[round sinew]

"are living frag a/b exp10 rewards?"

you wrote about JSON, editor, etc etc

[plain oyster]

Alright

[round sinew]

yes, living fragment a and b are exp10 rewards.

[plain oyster]

Alright

[plain oyster]

100%'d it, nowhere to be seen here..

[cursive hemlock]

I dont have the NMSARC.451C674F.pak file, my files have normal names like NMSARC.MeshPlanetOCEAN.pak any solution?

[round sinew]

"451C674F" and such were the old filenames

[cursive hemlock]

yea mb for pinging FF just checked comment section

and there's a equivalent to that NMSARC.451C674F.pak file

[round sinew]

no idea sorry

[plain oyster]

In the NomNom expedition rewards section the living fragments are not present

Nor are they present in game in the listed rewards, which via the heads I have there show that I have 100%’d it

[round sinew]

odd. iirc, they're phase 3 rewards, along with crystalyzed drone. have you double checked your build menu?

[plain oyster]

Yep

Not present there either

Gonna do some more diggin in JsON

Might find it

[round sinew]

have fun

[green prairie]

the new one is a script that you double click and it does everything

[hearty wasp]

Fuck's a living frag

Oh the ourple crystals

Consumerism should have em if they're rewards

If not lmk

[serene sorrel]

Yeah consumerism guarantees they're available. I haven't done any expeditions but I got em

Thanks for that btw 😛

[hearty wasp]

Tbh if they ain't in the redeem section they're prolly just community unlocks

[fresh arch]

Living Fragments are variants of the Crystallized Drone

If you got it unlocked, you have LFs as well

Check out the variants of this part in the build menu

[sharp turtle]

Is there any mod for increasing the scale cap for objects, or am i stuck using glitches and the base builder app

[hearty wasp]

check BBB/gbase

or just search "base" on Nexus there're a few base building related mods you can just read their features

[wispy onyx]

Ive noticed you can apply this to every single file in the pcbanks directory, and my game is running so much smoother

you get a file tamper warning thingy but the performance doubled for me

especially because my cpu sucks

[drowsy solstice]

yea it is amazing

[wispy onyx]

i literally emptied the entire folder lmao

[drowsy solstice]

i dont need it for the performance, i just use it to stop that 1 seconds pause when leaving planets

[wispy onyx]

its running so much better

this is on an intel i5

thats why it spikes so much

but just look at those fps

on high/ultra 1440p

[drowsy solstice]

wait how is your game running if you removed all these files

[wispy onyx]

i extracted them to the parent directory

it makes it so that the game doesnt have to extract all of that stuff while its running

tradeoff is storage space

[drowsy solstice]

oh interesting

no wonder nms is so small, everything is archived

you would mind DMing me how to do all of that as my sons pc struggles to run it and he really like the game but doesn't like the lag and that could save me some money overall

[wispy onyx]

literally just do this but with every other file in the pcbanks directory as well

just look at this, no freezes

its crazy

[drowsy solstice]

what settings you running that on ?

[drowsy solstice]

damn not bad at all

[wispy onyx]

terrain thingy set to minimum because my cpu literally fkn dies with it on

[drowsy solstice]

lol

[wispy onyx]

oh god i just realized how bad discord compressed that video

[drowsy solstice]

yea its bad

[wispy onyx]

do u still need help how to do it

also back up your save file just in case

[drowsy solstice]

yea im lost, my brain is fried lol

[hearty wasp]

we call it "running unpacked" back in the day

cool to see it still works

weird how the game still found the files when they're not inside PCBANKS tho

[drowsy solstice]

maybe the game is set to search the base folder first

in coding you can set it to check an order of folders

or maybe the game is coded to check the GAMEDATA folder and all sub folders

[wispy onyx]

0. just in case, backup your save files
1. you need https://github.com/periander/PSArcTool/raw/master/PSArcTool.zip (unzip and place the exe somewhere accessible, like your desktop)
2. go to nms install dir and find the PCBANKS folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS)
3. drag one of the .pak files in the folder on top of the PSArcTool.exe you downloaded (it should show "Open with PSArcTool.exe" while dragging it above the exe)
4. once the cmd window closes, delete the pak file you dragged on it
5. you should see some folders pop up inside the PCBANKS directory, move them to the parent directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA)
6. repeat until there are no files left except for BankSignatures.bin and DISABLEMODS.txt (not sure if they are needed at all, it might be possible to just delete those, i didnt test it)

[drowsy solstice]

woah

nice step guide thanks

[wispy onyx]

at the end, this is how the directories look like in my case:

i could try automating this with a python script

[drowsy solstice]

would it not be easier with a batch file that uses psarc like the LAG (DIY Edition) mod does ?

[wispy onyx]

idk how to code bat files lol

[drowsy solstice]

if i had the time i could code this into a tidy GUI based 1 click mod

[wispy onyx]

but i know py2exe (python file to exe converter basically)

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok lol

[drowsy solstice]

ah see im more of a C, C++, C# & Java myself

[wispy onyx]

i wanna get into c# but just looking at it overwhelms me

i know python, lua, gdscript and a little bit of js

[drowsy solstice]

no no its actually really easy

[wispy onyx]

how long did it take you to learn it

[drowsy solstice]

not long i used this guy to learn the basic and stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N775KsWQVkw&list=PLPV2KyIb3jR4CtEelGPsmPzlvP7ISPYzR

that and trial & error with some googling to help a bit more

[drowsy solstice]

@magic lava if this is not already pinned which i think it isn't could you pin this please as it is extremely helpful thanks

[magic lava]

That's part of the modding tools in the wiki that is pinned

[drowsy solstice]

oh ok

[magic lava]

Good idea though 🙂

[drowsy solstice]

😁

[drowsy solstice]

backing up all my .pak files before i attempt this as a test before i proceed to repeat it on my sons pc

[wispy onyx]

if something goes wrong you can redownload them from steam

[drowsy solstice]

oh i know that but i cba with waiting for the download lol

[wispy onyx]

lmao

the entire game downloads in 10 minutes for me its not that bad

[drowsy solstice]

btw is this normal, 1 of the pak files extracted these instead of a folder

[wispy onyx]

yeah had that too

just be careful when moving

[drowsy solstice]

kk

[drowsy solstice]

sorry to keep bothering you, so im moving the folders and this came up ?

[wispy onyx]

what files are those?

also 69, nice

[drowsy solstice]

lol

they are controller & vr json files

[wispy onyx]

you might be able to overwrite them, i dont think i had to do that tho

[drowsy solstice]

ok it works

right time to do my sons

[drowsy solstice]

and done right time to revert my game back to normal

@lofty nimbus if you want any screenshots made into a background mod just DM me the screenshots and i will get it done

[green prairie]

I wonder how running the game unpaked would work when using amumss, since amumss looks for the big pak to do the changes

[solid hawk]

Wouldn't find files

[hearty wasp]

Yeah you'd just be fucked

[solid hawk]

For this scenario, the question now becomes, if game files fully extracted to GAMEDATA and leave .paks in PCBANKS, does the game use the files in GAMEDATA? Thinking it should, but not enough spare drive space for me to test this.

[green prairie]

don't even know how you would be able to tell unless the performance difference is that big

[serene sorrel]

The difference would most likely be felt in terms of CPU and drive read/write usage right?

[drowsy solstice]

after testing it on my sons pc i can say the performance isn't a gold medal achievement but it is noticeable and does make the game playable for those with weaker computers

[serene sorrel]

What's the damage on drive space? A couple hundred GB?

[wispy onyx]

30

[wispy onyx]

.

[serene sorrel]

I think I saw a tiny hitch but yeah that's such a huge improvement, wow!

And it doesn't interfere with the functioning of mods?

[wispy onyx]

idk, i dont use mods..

[serene sorrel]

Ahh

[wispy onyx]

btw, this was on an intel i5 lol

[serene sorrel]

I don't think it matters what your rig is for the planet hitch thing. I get it on a 12700k, and I got it just as much on my old poor overloaded 7500

Given you have little to no hitching there, I'd assume it's related to how the game packs and unpacks data on the fly

[cursive hemlock]

@drowsy solstice You unpacked every pak file in nms storage right?

[wispy onyx]

I might have finished a working script to automatically do this

currently testing it

Okay i was able to properly load in

Should i share it as .py or as .exe?

I need some people to test it please

[serene sorrel]

Be a bit before I'll be home but I was planning on major adjustments to my mod list anyway so I'll be happy to try it

[wispy onyx]

Do you have python installed on your machine?

I am currently too lazy to convert it to an .exe file, its 4:30 am

[serene sorrel]

Yeah

Need it for some bethesda game utilities lol

[wispy onyx]

Okay I'll dm you the script then

Just a sec

[cursive hemlock]

swarkin can you send me NMSARC.MeshMisc.pak?

I want to reverse pak files

[wispy onyx]

Just do a steam file integrity check

[cursive hemlock]

dont have the game on steam

[wispy onyx]

oh

[cursive hemlock]

Oh I even fucked up more I deleted pcbanks

so I have nothing

lmao

[wispy onyx]

just reinstall then

[serene sorrel]

Gog has a verify files function as well

[cursive hemlock]

[serene sorrel]

Ohhh gamepass? It doesn't have a verify files function?? That's bizarre

Small indie provider, please understand? 😛

[cursive hemlock]

Didnt say it doesnt

I just have gamepass one

[serene sorrel]

Ahh

[wispy onyx]

I put it on my github

I'm gonna go sleep it's literally 5 am

also it only works on windows I think, saying that here just in case

[cursive hemlock]

where's your github link at
