and where are you from? same time in here 🙋

[wispy onyx]

I'll dm you

[wispy onyx]

germany

[cursive hemlock]

I am your polish neighbour

[plain oyster]

whats a seed for a perfect squadron pilot trait

[serene sorrel]

Probably wrong channel for that

[drowsy solstice]

yes every pak file in the PCBANKS folder

sorry for late reply, was in bed sleeping

[vivid wadi]

Hello, PS% player, was in the Anomoly when some dropped a butt tonne of modded (I assume) gear, what do I do with it

PS5

[fresh arch]

Discard everything in the red boxes

[vivid wadi]

thoought so, no way to extract it

pity though always wanted a golden ship

[fresh arch]

It's possbile to get one from another player but not like that

They need to sell it to an NPC and you have to buy it immediately after

[vivid wadi]

use the LFG or Trades ?

[fresh arch]

Yup

[vivid wadi]

all good, thanks for the heads up

[summer galleon]

I have a question with the pet unlocker mod. I just installed it and notice all my pets have the ‘cant carry more eggs message’, even pets that have never given me eggs because they are babies.

[cursive hemlock]

ye np. I did the same thing and my sound started to glitch when I leaved planets

[drowsy solstice]

yea my son is experiencing the same issue so i ordered him a better GPU instead lol

[cursive hemlock]

lol can u order me one too

anyway my 1650 Ti aint bad just sound was glitching game is running smoothly

And by glitching I mean turned off for 1-2 sec while leaving planets

[solid hawk]

Haven't had anyone else report this, so maybe an interaction with another mod that makes changes to the egg stuff. Run the Lua through AMUMSS and when prompted "Do you want pet egg times to be reduced?", answer N to generate a new .pak with the egg timer settings disabled.

If it then goes away, edit the Lua, changing CREATURE_INCUBATE_TIME at the top to something higher than 0, run again, saying Y to the above question and see what happens.

[summer galleon]

ok

I saw that I tried to adopt what was an infant turtle go straight to elderly when I adopted it.

I only have a building mod here, but I had hit Y on the egg pet times. I'll try again with N.

[solid hawk]

That's controlled by that same variable, {"PetGrowthTime", CREATURE_INCUBATE_TIME}, --Original "1209600"

[summer galleon]

Question, if I change the mod, do I have to revert back to my old save?

To fix my pets?

[solid hawk]

You can see everything being set by that variable at the bottom of the script and the original vanilla values.

[solid hawk]

Well, if they've already aged, that won't change. Would just be changing the timer settings moving forward. So, if you want the ages to change, you can either revert to an older save or do some save editing on the individual pets.

[summer galleon]

ok, I'll revert back

then install it with the N

To revert back is just replacing the save folder on Roaming with my old backup, right?

Wanna be sure I don't mess stuff up again.

[solid hawk]

Correct, can just do individual saves instead of the whole folder structure too, but up to you.

[wispy onyx]

I made a python script that does this automatically:
https://github.com/Swarkin/NMSUnpack

(@drowsy solstice in case you still need it)

[drowsy solstice]

oh nice, i will download that to my NMS mods folder

thanks

[wispy onyx]

Its a one-time-use python script, not a nms mod

But Im not sure if mods work when running no mans sky "unpaked"

Its mainly for the unmodded game

[solid hawk]

Mods will work with the game .unpaked

[wispy onyx]

Oh nice

I never used mods before so yeah

[drowsy solstice]

i know its not a mod, i have a downloaded mods folder in my downloads to store my nms mods before putting them into the game so im just storing alone side them so i know where to find it for ease of access

[wispy onyx]

ohh alright

Would still be great if some people could test this on fresh nms installs, it worked for me and @serene sorrel but better too much testing than too little

[serene sorrel]

Can confirm it works from testing, and mods work fine as well. It moves GAMEDATA into the root NMS directory and then creates a new PCBANKS folder, so you will need to move/create the MODS folder inside the new PCBANKS folder. But it otherwise works completely fine with mods

It does add a "file tamper" warning in addition to the mods warning on startup but just like with mods you can ignore it since you know where it's coming from

[drowsy solstice]

i wonder if i could make a mod to remove the file tamper & modded game warnings hmmmmmm

[fresh arch]

There are already mods for that

Though quick look at the comments says they don't work anymore

[summer galleon]

Reverting back and using N fixed everything!

[serene sorrel]

Note that it seems to cause issues with using AMUMSS to create merged mods. I'm getting a whole train of errors indicating various .EXML files it's looking for do not exist. I've made this same, identical merged mod before without any issues. I'm guessing AMUMSS is looking for files that were previously contained in the various PCBANKS paks and which are no longer there?

[fresh arch]

Correct, AMUMSS is looking for PAK files inside PCBANKS directory

[serene sorrel]

Hmm... Maybe I can verify files to recover them and then just delete the pak files afterwards

Worth trying!

[solid hawk]

To use AMUMSS, you'll need to unpak the game files to GAMEDATA, but also leave the game .paks in place in PCBANKS

[serene sorrel]

Yeah, it's working after I re-acquired the paks. The game would seek to use the paks over the unpacked files in GAMEDATA wouldn't it?

So you'd still need to remove the paks in PCBANKS?

[solid hawk]

If this is Swarkins script and it automatically clears the PCBANKS folder of .paks, after extracting, then probably needs an option to not delete the .paks

[solid hawk]

We're not sure yet, needs to be tested.

[serene sorrel]

Is there some means of determining which it's using? I didn't notice a huge performance difference unpacked vs packed - mostly just no more hitching when entering or leaving planets

[solid hawk]

If there's a spot in the game that you normally get lag, like leaving planet, with game file .pak, try that in-game now, with both unpaked and .pak game data. See what happens.

[serene sorrel]

Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of. Very simple to test, at least

[solid hawk]

My guess, it'll use the unpaked files first, but as I said, needs to be tested.

I don't have enough spare drive space to do so myself

If you try it, please post back the result.

🙂

[serene sorrel]

I'll give it a check after I finish making these merged mods. Just gonna try it without any mods running since that'll remove any possibility of mod files interfering with it

Hitching on leaving planet, and no mention of tampered files. So it's looking like it uses the packed files in PCBANKS if they are present

[fresh arch]

It is important to delete the .pak file from the PCBANK folder else it'll be looking for it before using the loose files)

Wouldn't be the first game to "prefer" loading archives over loading loose files

[serene sorrel]

Easy enough to compress the paks (compressing the compressed files, lol) and stash them somewhere in case I have to fiddle with mods again

[solid hawk]

Dang, oh well. Easy enough to make a small batch file to move the .paks back and forth between PCBANKS and another folder, to make it easier.

[fresh arch]

Is there really a benefit to run the whole game unpacked?

Sounds like a drag if you wanna run mods on top of that

[serene sorrel]

I'm assuming there would be performance savings for low-spec computers. I can't tell any difference other than the lack of hitching on mine. Which is pretty dang nice, but that mod already does exist to solve that

[grizzled zealot]

So is there a mod to skip the void egg timer that works ?

[fallow meadow]

@grizzled zealot Have you tried this one?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1921

[solid hawk]

What sort of time frame are you looking for?

[grizzled zealot]

Ya it's not doing anything tho I don't see an actual timer vaule in game nothing has changed just says to wait for contact still

[grizzled zealot]

nowish lol just really not a fan of the super long irl timers for the game I don't get to play often so 4 irl days could be well over a week for me of waiting

[solid hawk]

Here's one for 2 hour. Can change the time inside, in seconds. Then run through AMUMSS to generate the .pak

[grizzled zealot]

I'm not familiar with AMUMSS ?

[solid hawk]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

Step by step quick walkthrough of setup and basic usage, with screenshots

The above Lua, can be edited in any text editor

Just change the 7200 (seconds) to whatever number you wish

AMUMSS is used to update and combine conflicting mods via Lua scripts

Currently used by about ~5k NMS players, so not a niche thing. lol

If you run into issues, don't understand something, or have questions, feel fee to step into my office, https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H #amumss-lua channel. 🙂

It's the one with the door that says doofus on it

[timid burrow]

I'm here with an update everyone. The previous version of the app was not working properly. I've made proper changes in the app. Please download and use this version.

NMS Power Calculator is a simple windows installable application allowing users to calculate how much power they need in their base to run different base modules that require power. The list of all of the required base parts is tallied with the base parts in game and in game files.

You can download the zip file, extract and simply install the app on your PC (windows). In case windows does not recognize the app please add it as an exception in your firewall, although the app is properly signed and this should not happen.

[vivid hedge]

I JUST BROKE SOMETHING 💀

everything is flickering

SOUNDS JUST STOPPED

💀

im not even holding anything

and its flying

ok wtf everything is breaking

[vivid hedge]

i used the spacebar thing

and it teleported me 2^31 units outside of the system bruh

which is maximum negative value for a 32-bit signed binary integer

[night adder]

@vivid hedge It's likely not exact - notice it's actually the maximum negative value, meaning all you reallyknow is that youre beyond the max positive value so the game cant display it accurately 😉

[vivid hedge]

oh

well

i didnt play nms for few months

maybe some mods are outdated

i use only 2 tho 💀

[fresh arch]

Even 1 outdated mod can break the game

So look for updates on Nexus

In case LUA or C# scripts were provided, compile the new versions of mods with AMUMSS or NMS Mod Builder respectively

[vivid hedge]

ok the hyperdrive one was breaking the game

[drowsy solstice]

made a simple yet amusing mod for those Sean Sean's Sean fans lol
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2830

[hearty wasp]

Sean Murray is truly an inspiration to us all

[fallow meadow]

Ahuh ...

[drowsy solstice]

omgggggggg

lol

[fallow meadow]

Feel free to steal it (UI\INTRO_FEED_DEFAULT.JSON)

[drowsy solstice]

ty, much appreciated

[drowsy solstice]

wait all these names have to be changed or can i just have 1 line ?

[fallow meadow]

It randomly picks from the list, so just having one will make them all the same. The second string for each is the bottom part as shown in the image

[drowsy solstice]

oh ok got ya

cracks fingers

lets do this

[fresh arch]

Make it show rick roll lyrics

[fallow meadow]

A rick roll could be fun. Did some different lyrics for someone before 😄
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58seUsB1Vok

[fresh arch]

I saw the title and noped the fuck outta it

[fallow meadow]

hehehe 😂

[drowsy solstice]

when repacking that file whats the file structure as i put it in UI and thats it or is it TEXTURES\UI

[fallow meadow]

It's root UI. Not sure what you are using to create the mod though. I used NMS Modding Station here

[drowsy solstice]

i use PSarcTool

it works for everything else just not that for some reason

[fallow meadow]

It likely expects an .MBIN

This is already a .JSON

[drowsy solstice]

ahhhhhhhh ok

[fallow meadow]

or actually, exml, to pak to mbin

So yeah, PSARC might not know what to do with json

[drowsy solstice]

fair enough

i will look into NMS Mod Station

[fallow meadow]

Modding Station uses PSARC internally when required

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok sweet

[fresh arch]

Another benefit of using the modding station: when copying files to a project it preserves the structure / path

So even if you were to do some changes outside of MS, the files will still have the proper structure

[drowsy solstice]

ooooooooooh thats handy

[fallow meadow]

Only downside is likely the fact it will 'unpack' all game files, which takes time. PSARC is great for quick and dirty single mbin/paks

[drowsy solstice]

ah i don't mind if it unpacks the entire game, i have a 4TB SSD for modding anyways

ok i am gonna need a lil help here as i am learning still how to mod NMS, how do i edit or even make an MBIN file

[fallow meadow]

With Modding Station?

MBINCompiler is what turns mbin to exml, so you can edit, and vise versa after. For Modding Station you will have to download MBINC and specify the path it is located

@crystal coyote

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok thanks

[crystal coyote]

thx

[drowsy solstice]

[drowsy solstice]

@fresh arch sorry to bother you, i thought i would ask in here as its more appropriate, what program did you use to unpack & recompile the Darker UI mod? I used PSArcTool and after removing the UI folder and recompiling it into a pak file the mod didn't work

[fresh arch]

Yeah with the PSarctool

[drowsy solstice]

hmmmmm i must be doing something wrong then

[fresh arch]

Step 1: put both the mod PAK file and PSarctool.exe in the same folder
Step 2: drag and drop the PAK file over PS exe
Step 3: go to the UI folder that pops up, delete the font files
Step 4: select with mouse both the TEXTURES And UI folders, drag and drop them over to PS exe
Step 5: wait for PS to finish working, it should spit out a new PAK file in the same folder

[drowsy solstice]

oh wow thanks, was not expecting that

[fresh arch]

Dont remove the UI folder as whole, just the font files inside of it

[drowsy solstice]

noted

omg thankyou, finally dark ui no fonts

[fresh arch]

👍

[merry wasp]

oh god it's spreading

[plain oyster]

is there a mod manager for nms windows\

[night adder]

@plain oyster No need for one, as its just a matter of mod files being inthe correct folder

[solid hawk]

You can use NexusMods Vortex or MO2, BUT they also can introduce a host of issues because of what they can't do......specifically, detect or resolve mod conflicts (one or more mods that make changes to the same game file(s). The last loaded .pak will "win"). Now will they warn you about out of date mods. In NMS land, non-updated mod = one way ticket to Crashville.

With NMS, manual is the smart way to go. For conflict detection and resolution, https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2626

With NMS, this is the best page on NexusMods to look for mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/newrecently

Due to out of date mods being unuseable, pages like most downloaded or most endorsed don't have the value they might with other games. Many are long abandoned and not useable anymore. You can look at those, but also have to keep an eye on that Last Update metric.

[plain oyster]

once I export a base does it auto save
or is there something on the companion I gotta press

on the companion app

[solid hawk]

As an example, if you look at most endorsed, in the top five, 4 and 5 have been dead for years.

[solid hawk]

This?

[plain oyster]

yeah

is there a button to commit the changes

[solid hawk]

If exporting, would be saved as a file, so shouldn't be any change to your save file itself.

[plain oyster]

no I moved a base to another

its an option in there

how do I commit the change to the save file

the button is export and you press it to bring one base to another

[solid hawk]

I honestly don't remember. Don't use the app much anymore. I'll defer to a current user of it.

[plain oyster]

what?

[solid hawk]

It's not an app everybody uses. I'm not sure, so best to wait for someone who knows more

[plain oyster]

oh I meant the defer to a current user of it

didnt get that

[solid hawk]

Ah, me and my 25 cent words. 🙂

I never used it for bases, only creature/pet imports.

[plain oyster]

ah

[green prairie]

pretty sure when you export a base all it does is create a file with the info for the base

when it needs saving the app tells you with a blinking message saying to save and reload

at least it does that when you import a base

[tacit token]

Hello! If AMUMSS says there is no conflict with my mods, I don't need to merge any mods, correct?

[plain oyster]

cant backup cause of this error?

[plain oyster]

then once again.. how do I save the changes on the app is its asking me to

[green prairie]

what are you trying to do? When you import a base iirc it saves automatically when you click on overwrite, the app them tells you to press to reload on the top

can't try now because I deleted all my saves

[plain oyster]

How to commit changes to my save

so I press reload to commit it?

[green prairie]

if you want to save edit, it's better to use the save editors, either nomnom (if updated) or the goatfungus one, the companion app is mostly used for importing/exporting bases or pets

when importing a base to change a base you have (because that's how it works) it automatically commit the change when you press overwrite and select the file of the base

[plain oyster]

so im free to go to my game then

[green prairie]

unless things changed from the last time I used the app, yes

if it didn't work it will be obvious since the base won't be there

[solid hawk]

Correct. Just be sure, that as you add more mods, you re-check for conflicts. 🙂

[solid hawk]

Thanks Syzzle

Been too long since I used that app and kind of didn't want to muck up one of my saves playing with it to jog the memory. 🙂

[tacit token]

Ok, thanks!

[solid hawk]

No problem. Enjoy

Any suggestions on mods that fix the exocraft camera issues. In particular looking for fixes for when you drive down a hill and the camera is jumping all over the place, clipping through the ground so you can't even see where you're going.

[green prairie]

gCam does camera shit, if it fixes that only testing to know if not said on the description

[serene sorrel]

any idea what could be causing this? I don't recall seeing this kind of thing happen while running vanilla files

[steel crypt]

I don’t know. None of my mods cause this. Maybe if I look at your mod list I might be able to guess?

[serene sorrel]

DUD_Skies, DUD_GraphicFX, and DUD_Asteroid are merged with other mods using Babscoole's provided luas, but I wouldn't think they'd affect foliage like that

[steel crypt]

None of my mods will cause that. (DUD'S)
I don't know if the LUAs are 100% identical to the actual mods. I'm pretty confident Babs is making sure of that though.
None of the other mods stand out as a possible issue, but there are a few I don't really know.
If it were me, and I couldn't get a better answer, I suppose I would remove half at a time to find the culprit. Then I would try to figure out what's going on with that particular mod.

I'm curious what it is too. It's a weird issue.
Does it happen in vanilla?

Does it happen on alltree models? Does it hapen to any other models?

[fresh arch]

First step of troubleshooting: disable all mods, check if the same happens in vanilla game

Second step: disable Jason's mod, for the rest disable them one at a time and check in game if the issue persists

[serene sorrel]

It appears to happen on any tree that uses color palettes, including cacti and even echinocactus. It doesn't happen on the burned trees in volcanic biomes. Be interesting to try and figure out which mod is the culprit

[junior furnace]

happening in vanilla PC since 4.38

also happen on ruins, multitools, and some other stuff

[serene sorrel]

ahhh dang

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention during my vanilla files

[fresh arch]

Uhm, you sure about that?

[junior furnace]

I do

july 13

[fresh arch]

Huh appears to be true

Will check with mods disabled

[junior furnace]

I play with absolutely no mods

ruins are broken too...

this is current state of the game

[fresh arch]

Yup, happens in vanilla as well @serene sorrel

[drowsy solstice]

anyone here have a link to a save editor thats updated to singularity ?

[livid owl]

do any mods exist that can help with optimization? my fps is super inconsistent with reasonable graphics settings and i just don’t know if it’s an optimization thing or not

[hearty wasp]

it's a game thing

[livid owl]

ah ok, i’ll tweak my graphics settings again

[wispy onyx]

I managed to reduce my loading times by like 90%

[green prairie]

the game got all weird lately

not only the performance got worse last time I tested

but the load times increased depending of what mod you had installed

and sometimes the game loading would even ramp up the SSD usage to 100% freezing everything

[fallow meadow]

See pins 📌 #nms-modding message

• NomNom is updated for singularity.
• NMSSE is functional, but slightly behind, missing new mappings/items for singularity.

[fresh arch]

New mod project, back to good old times

[green prairie]

I need to test how possible it is to create multi tool new weapons

new techs that just change stats is easy

but never tried to create a new weapon

[serene sorrel]

Yup I get those occasional drive-max things. It's a gen4 M.2 so I'm pretty sure it's not due to insufficient drive power...

[serene sorrel]

A skip Artemis mod?

[livid owl]

turning vsync off just about instantly fixed my fps issues 💀

[wispy onyx]

lemme check what happens to my nvme

[serene sorrel]

Oh, yeah you should NEVER use software vsync unless you have to

[green prairie]

build-in vsync has input delay

[serene sorrel]

If you need vsync, enable at hardware level

[green prairie]

the first thing you do is always turn it off and enable on nvidia panel

[serene sorrel]

AMD and Intel offer it in their GPU management tools as well

I just use RTSS to limit fps though

[fresh arch]

No. Open your own mission log and find the differences

[wispy onyx]

it barely uses anything for me

[serene sorrel]

Yours looks more compact

[green prairie]

how many mods you have installed

[wispy onyx]

I didnt realize you meant modded Lol

my bad

[fresh arch]

🤦‍♂️

It's blue

Since Waypoint updates backgrounds and buttons are red

This is how game used to look like before 4.0 update

[serene sorrel]

Shows how much attention I pay to that stuff lol

[livid owl]

crazy how turning off vsync and slightly lowering graphics made it better instantly

and game still looks great on enhanced graphics

[serene sorrel]

In many cases, the difference between high and ultra in games is negligible but has major performance impacts

Especially if you play at low resolution like 1080p

[green prairie]

most of the time the "ultra" is just increased post processing effects

which when done well the changes are like night and day

[green prairie]

I didn't notice either, but it's probably because I spend like 5 seconds on menus at most

[solid hawk]

Yes, 100%

[solid hawk]

Much of the changes for 4.3x were exe only memory optimization and lots of textures. I'd be surprised if stuff didn't break.

[serene sorrel]

Yeah I have lighting/postprocessing on ultra because it's definitely a noticeable difference. Godrays seem to be diminished significantly on high. I also swapped back to TAA from FSR, but otherwise everything is on high instead of ultra and I couldn't tell too much difference on ultra

[hearty wasp]

unless you gonna make a rigless gun that doesn't animate chances would be p slim

replacement rather than add-on would be way easier obviously

oh wait you mean new projectiles

someone's done a long time ago for ships

and GameMaster had done a grenade variant in the past

[green prairie]

nah, not the gun itself, I mean the weapon tech

because my mod still needs the Samus Cannon to work the way it should

[hearty wasp]

you'd still be limited to vanilla stats but there's a wide range within those stats still

theorectically it's as simple as setting up the required components in the tech/projectile/damage tables

and one that does projectile model/textures specifically that I forgor but if a grenade variant is possible I don't see why a gun variant wouldn't

[green prairie]

yea, gonna fiddle around to see, the hard part would be to see if the game actually can have separated projectile scale size

so the normal shots are small, but charged is big

because from what I tested before the scale is for both

[hearty wasp]

the sniper one does similar thing right?

but then that's a ray and thus just a texture

[green prairie]

the javelin?

need to check, never used it

[plain reef]

Hi is there an easy mod for playing expeditions anytime. I saw very detailed method but it seems overwhelming.

[fresh arch]

No there is not and there will not be

For the expeditions from current year, HG usually repeats them at the end of the year

For rewards from previous expeditions, use save editors or mods like Consumerism to unlock the rewards

[nimble drift]

I've looked around but the comments section is confusing with only 1 report sometimes of mods being broken on nexus. Is there a mod that changes or removes the 3 hour time requirement for frigate rescue? Or one that's not broken that lets the first one be a capital ship instead of the second?

[fresh arch]

First idea: https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/blob/main/other-authors/MoreFreighterBattles.lua

Second idea: https://github.com/MetaIdea/nms-amumss-lua-mod-script-collection/blob/main/other-authors/CapitalFreighterSpawns.lua

Thank you

I like the look of the first one if it functions. Saw similar on nexus with just the most recent comment being "doesn't work" with no one corroborating or responding haha

[fresh arch]

Yeah lol most of my creative thinking process ends up in stealing shit from other games like Borderlands

[serene sorrel]

To be fair borderlands has a really cool thing going with the different manufacturers and their gimmicks

[heavy merlin]

Better in 1 IMHO, before Hyperion became big bad

[serene sorrel]

2 is where they really properly differentiated the brands though

Maliwan pretty much always being elemental, Torgue invariably being the best and coolest, etc

does anyone know what pak file these images are in ?

[gaunt hemlock]

Will the space station B mod ever get an update? I was tryna install it last week and the space station didn’t load int, just the runway and interior

My pfp?

Or bio

Nerd dog

Damn, I hadn’t even realised 😂

[fresh arch]

Probably not because it relied on assets HG put in the game, but later removed

[gaunt hemlock]

Ty

[gaunt hemlock]

Ah

That makes sense

Could someone download those assets and make a new mod with them

[fresh arch]

I don't think HG would like someone redistributing their stuff like that

[gaunt hemlock]

Yh, that’s fair

So ig we just have to wait for them to put them in the game in a future update?

[fresh arch]

Only if HG decides to actually put them in game

Not all stuff that slipped into game code did end up in live version

[fresh arch]

Try NMSARC.TexMisc.PAK

Folder is TEXTURES\UI\FRONTEND\BACKGROUNDS

[drowsy solstice]

ah thankyou

[drowsy solstice]

yes it worked, now to change the font colour as its a bit hard to see

actually i will add a black fade at the bottom like the base game

[fresh arch]

Yeah good luck getting into the mess that are UI files for the game

[drowsy solstice]

yea

[serene sorrel]

Maybe that's why HG doesn't work on the UI lol

[drowsy solstice]

thats why i decided to add a black fade instead lol

ah much better

lowered the fade a tad as it felt to high

[hearty wasp]

next time you can use NMSPE/NMSMB to directly search for files and folders and extract individual files so you can just ask for the directory instead if you can't unpack the whole game

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok that sounds good

[serene sorrel]

That looks real good man

[drowsy solstice]

Thanks

[next tartan]

editing the ui without the editor or mxml is schizo

good luck lol

[plain oyster]

Is there a mod that lets me to place a settlement were I want

[fresh arch]

Nope

@kindred stone You need to find the PersistentPlayerBases within the PlayerStateData section and within there are all the bases you have one of them will be for the freighter .... replace the contents with the freighter base from the creative save

will any of these mods conflict with DUD'S SKY - COLORS

can mods alter main game files at all ?

i only ask because i came across these trees and they dont look normal 1 bit

Question is irrelevant because #nms-modding message

well i did ask can mods alter base game files so i would assume it is modding related

[hearty wasp]

ik

But since it's not modding related it's irrelevant

I can still answer that if you care

[steel crypt]

I saw your issue report on Nexus. (DUD'S SKY - COLORS)
Please:
Before you report issues with mods, at least remove all mods first and see if the issue persists.
If an issue is happening without mods then it's not mod related.

Also report problem to HG if you want it to get fixed:

!hg

[odd crater]

Second time I'm seeing this tiling issue on lush trees. It's generally not due to the textures but the model itself.

Maybe HG changed something with some of them but didn't adjust the bark texture properly.

[steel crypt]

It happens to ruins and multitools also

Maybe they did.
My understanding is it started on 4.38

[odd crater]

Did they mess with the shader pipeline again?

[steel crypt]

They did a lot of shader changes around that time.

Also broke the refraction shader badly.

[odd crater]

I'm gonna have to take a look at this.

Maybe this can be fixed easily.

Just some shader properties is my guess.

[steel crypt]

This is how the current refraction shader is behaving.
With all refractions flag F_30, the refraction has a mirror image...it seems.
Might be a related issue? Not sure.
(Don't pay attention to the box outline...that's okay and normal. Just look at the black area, that's not supposed to be like that)
Can see it in all refractions in-game if you look close enough.

[drowsy solstice]

i hope HG fix this issue tbh, its so visually displeasing

[odd crater]

Any way to fix this or is this engine level?

[drowsy solstice]

its something the devs need to fix first

so i would say possible engine level

[odd crater]

Ok.

Anyway, regarding the trees, it's called "normal tiling". The texture is repeating in order to increase detail and not stretch it.

The problem here is that the moss overlay is repeating too. It should not.

So definitely a material properties issue.

[drowsy solstice]

yea i have reported it with screenshots to HG so hopefully results will be a positive outcome with next update

[steel crypt]

Sorry was afk.
No idea if the texture tile issue is something in exe, shader, or in material files. Would like to know if you figure out anything else about it.
The refraction thing is either in shaders (most likely) or possibly exe. It’s not anything that uses the shader pipe like materials. The setting in those didn’t change. Also it’s global and not limited to certain models/emitters etc.

With the texture thing, it’s affecting a lot of models. Must be something common.

[solid hawk]

"in exe, shader, or in material files." possibly in exe, shader, and/or in material files.

Could be a bad combination/interaction between changes in multiple vectors.

[serene sorrel]

So the tiling effect there is likely due to moss overlay being tiled incorrectly?

[steel crypt]

yes
But why it's happening is the question.
My guess would be that some tiling settings are being ignored since it seems to be a global issue.

We can fix things, but if the problem is in the exe we can't. If it's in shaders, it's near impossible in 99.9% of cases to do anything.

[serene sorrel]

I guess I never paid close enough attention to tree textures. Didn't realize there was a separate moss layer

[steel crypt]

I haven't looked in a while, but there are 3 layers to tree bark on most trees...I believe.

[steel crypt]

True.
Just a guess, but...
I think this tiling issue and the refraction shader thing are maybe semi-related and are both a shader issue. They both happened around the same time and a lot of shader things were changed at the same time. Nothing as far as material files or textures were changed with trees, multi-tools, ruins, effects, emitters etc. Seems like how the shader pipes are using materials is borked somehow.

[solid hawk]

Lots of exe changes for "memory optimization" the past few updates too. Vague enough could easily play into this. lol

[serene sorrel]

I'll bet these issues are a good explanation why we've heard nothing since 4.38, even though we're about due for expedition number next. Probably a real pain to identify and fix these sorts of things

[solid hawk]

Just a theory, I know no more than anyone else, but another factor may be NOT wanting to go head to head, for new game sales, at release of Starfield. Take an extended break to fix some broken thing and have an old style feature release with lots of new stuff, not just one or two fairly minor changes.

I wouldn't be surprises, if when Starfield hits, a significant portion of the NMS community goes poof for a month.

I'm not aware of anyone reporting any mod working on the mac. As for other tools, they would have to know how to unpack the mac pak files, and|or know that some of the files and folders may be different e.g. MACOSBANKS instead of PCBANKS, MBIN.MACOS instead of MBIN.PC, ...

[night adder]

The ability to construct those Portable Research Stations

[worthy stream]

which one is my save

what do i click

[fallow meadow]

You are in the correct folder for the save editor to recignise your save files. Just click the 'Open' button, without having anything selected there

[worthy stream]

ok thanks

[fallow meadow]

Are you using NMSSE (goatfungus)?

[worthy stream]

yea i believe so

but nothing is happening

oh wait

game slot

ok

[fallow meadow]

Yes!

[worthy stream]

ok question

[fallow meadow]

I know it is not that straight forward, could be done better, and hopefully see it auto-detect with a future update

[worthy stream]

how do i reorder my bases in the portal menu?

[fallow meadow]

Hmmm, bases are ordered by initial creation data, followed by bases from other players if present in the system you are in.

[worthy stream]

yea

i read somewhere that the save editor can reorder them

is it possible?

[fallow meadow]

It would require Raw JSON editing, but to do it fully correct, this is something to keep in mind as well. I have often seen it suggested to just re-order the bases without even a mention of this fact. Perhaps it has no consequences though, not sure

Hmmm, hang on and let me check NomNom, the alternative Save Editor. Perhaps it has it implemented as a feature

[worthy stream]

alright

[fallow meadow]

Ok, it does not look to be a feature in NomNom. So it would indeed require JSON editing.

I can help you on your way, and explain a few things, but I also want you to make a backup first, just in case

[worthy stream]

alright wait

[fallow meadow]

So if you go into the file explorer, to the location you found your saves in, just copy the full 'wgs' folder to somewhere save as a backup

wgs was prior to getting to that large alphanumerical folder

[worthy stream]

k

backup made

[fallow meadow]

Alright. So now click 'Edit' and select 'Edit Raw JSON'

A new window pops up, with a left side folder like structure, and a right side data part for what you selected on the left

[worthy stream]

wait edit what exactly

[fallow meadow]

Your Save Data

(assuming you selected the save you wish to edit)

[worthy stream]

isnt the save the entire folder

do you mean this?

[fallow meadow]

Are you still in the file explorer?

[worthy stream]

yes

[fallow meadow]

You should close the file explorer after you made the backup, and open up the Save Editor to select your save slot.

It should pick the latest save (auto/manual) for that slot

Then you click 'Edit' to select the 'Raw JSON editor'

[worthy stream]

ok

[fallow meadow]

It should now show something similar to this

[worthy stream]

ah

i see

ok now that im in that now what

[fallow meadow]

That is all the save data, which is honestly a lot!
Now to find the bases, you select the left side first to narrow down where to look

Click/Open PlayerStateData, which will open a whole lot again

[worthy stream]

ok

[fallow meadow]

Scroll down to a whole bunch of 'Chest....' stuff, with something called 'PersistentPlayerBases' above it

about halfway I think

[worthy stream]

ok got it

numbers

[fallow meadow]

With that selected, All of the base data is on the right side

[worthy stream]

so i reorder them like that?

swapping around the folders?

[fallow meadow]

If you open it, you see numbers, basically each one being a base. But for what you aare trying to do, you first have to make a copy of it all

Sort of, as they are not actually folders

They act kind of similar, but they are technically 'indices' of a 'list'

[worthy stream]

k so how do i change them around

when i scroll down i see each base's name

[fallow meadow]

But first select the main part called 'PersistentPlayerBases' on the left, then you will have to copy the full right side data. You can easily do this with your mouse in the right side, press CTRL+A, then CTRL+C to copy. Then you can paste this into a text editor to do the reorganising and editing.

[worthy stream]

and how exactly do i reorganize

do i copy numbers from here and put them there?

[fallow meadow]

Correct, eaach number is a single base, including your freighter base if you have a freighter. It can also have other player bases listed there

[worthy stream]

yea so i copy the entire text/code for persistentplayerbases

put them in ms word or something

or notepad

[fallow meadow]

It is easiest to work with a text editor that allows to recognise the text format to be JSON. I would suggest to get yourself Notepad++ or similar

[worthy stream]

ok

i'll try that

but how do i reorganize

like what exactly do i change

[fallow meadow]

Notepad can work, but will be a bit more work

You could also just copy each full single base to Notepad and then put them back one at a time in the correct order. I would however also recommend to make some small additional changes to do it correctly when it comes to the time they were created.

Just make sure you do it right, because the format is very important or it will not work or mess it up

[worthy stream]

so 0

is the first one

1 is the second

copy the code of each base into the slot i want it

etc

thats how i reorganize?

[fallow meadow]

No, you have to reorganise the data, so 0 becomes 5 for example.

It all has to stay in that same list.

[worthy stream]

yea i know

[fallow meadow]

just shuffled

[worthy stream]

i swap the code for 0 and 5

copy paste 0 into 5 and 5 into 0

[fallow meadow]

Yes, that would work to change order

[worthy stream]

alright then

tysm for your help :)

and how do i save after im done?

just x out?

[fallow meadow]

But make sure to put all your bases as the first numbers, followed b other player bases numbers after. Not sure there are other player bases in your list?

[worthy stream]

i just wanna reorder a couple bases nothing major

but how do i save

[fallow meadow]

If you close that window and changes were made, it will ask to verify the changes. You still have ot go to the 'Main' tab and select to save once more to actually get it saved to the file

[worthy stream]

ok

again thank you sooo much

[fallow meadow]

If you mess up, you can use the backup you made.

[worthy stream]

this helps a lot

[worthy stream]

yeah

[fallow meadow]

One more thing though.

[worthy stream]

yes?

[fallow meadow]

Click one of the numbers

[worthy stream]

ok

[fallow meadow]

Open the number on the left

[worthy stream]

yes

ok

[fallow meadow]

Look for Owner

Open it

See the TS?

[fallow meadow]

You see that for your selected base too?

[worthy stream]

yea

a number

what do i do with that?

[fallow meadow]

On the right side it will show a value, right? Something like 1688498622

[worthy stream]

yes

what do i do with that number?

[fallow meadow]

This is called a TimeStamp (TS), it is amount of seconds since january 1st 1970

[worthy stream]

uh

cool?

[fallow meadow]

Each base you made, has this value. The game normally organises your bases by this value. To make sure you do it the way the game is supposed to do it, you may wish to alter these TS values once you re-organised, to ensure the first base has the lowest value and the last base has the highest value.

[worthy stream]

ah ok

makes sense

i'll keep that in mind

ok byee

[fallow meadow]

Now it may work without making these changes to the TS values, but I would personally edit them to make sure it is correct according to the game.

These values mean something, so make sure to give them correct values accordingly.

This is likely something others would not be bothered with. It may work regardless, I never tried to be honest.

I just do want to mention it, in case it will be required to prevent issues

Now this TS of 1688498622, would mean:
Tue Jul 04 2023 19:23:42 GMT+0000

So that is why I say that IF you decide to alter them, to make them meaningful and correct.

(I just don't want to be the one who said not to bother about it, for it to work regardless, and be held responsible)

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask

Unpak the game files and it will all be inside the main AUDIO folder. You will need tools to then work with the audio files (Wwise / other)

You may not need to extract all the game files, as there are 2 pak files containing all this
NMSARC.audio.pak and NMSARC.audioBNK.pak

[worldly mist]

Okay... treat me like an idiot... I can't seem to unpack the .pak files

[fallow meadow]

Ah, new to modding I guess, sorry, my bad. I would suggest to have a look through the pins in this channel. This one perhaps giving you a start: #nms-modding message

There is a Wiki linked with lots of info. The Modding Discord will most certainly get you lots of info and helpful users, of which many are present here as well

[worldly mist]

Not looking to mod... Just looking to pull the audio files.... its looking like I have to register with 15 websites to download 15 tools...

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, just looking for a specific audio file. That can be quite a search unless someone is truly familiar with them. There is a SOUNDBANKSINFO file that may help narrow it down though.

[worldly mist]

I understand there may be 20,000 audio files in the archive... that doesn't bother me... i just need to open the archive.

[fallow meadow]

You will need tools to get to the files and have them in a format that will play

Might be able to figure out which audio is used through the so called 'ENTITY' files for the specific hangar 'model' used.

[fresh arch]

Working with any kind of game file for any purpose will require you to get the dedicated tools, whether you like it or not

Notepad and 7zip won't cut it anymore

[worldly mist]

Perhaps... i prefer my privacy over downloading a piece of software... ill just do without.

[fallow meadow]

I'd love some of that magic at times ...

[fresh arch]

If safety is your concern then you'll be glad to hear most of these tools are open source and hosted on GitHub for you to examine their code for malicious actors

[worldly mist]

Sure, but if I have to make an account on some website I have never heard of to download a tool.... I'm just not interested.

[fresh arch]

You do realize you can download stuff from GitHub without any account, right?

Or are you just hating on stuff you don't know for the sake of hating on stuff?

During the last 10 minutes you could have gotten both the psarc to decompile game files and some BNK extractor to decompile the audio archives

[worldly mist]

Uh... for example... well Devilin's ling to the pinned message doesn't seems to be giving me the same message... but it wanted me to download a tool I had to register an account with to download it... some Wwise or something.

[fresh arch]

Devilin was pointing you to a general guide on how to start modding the game

Which itself doesn't tell you to download any stuff, just points to already established resources

[worldly mist]

I have a PNK file that i used 7zip to open, but it has another archive file in there I can't open.

Its alright... this seems more involved than I care to get... moving on.

[fresh arch]

Imma do this

Immaa point you to this guide that has basic file extraction laid out: https://nmsmodding.fandom.com/wiki/Getting_Started

The links for Modding Station or AMUMSS do point towards Nexus Mods which you will need an account for

But the same tools (or their bits you actually need) can be found with a little search on GitHub

Now it's up to you to either actually check those out or going back to complaining

Im rooting that you go with the 1st option

[worldly mist]

@fresh arch I think you are taking offense to something that doesn't exist. I am not complaining about anything. I am stating I don't want to register with a website to download tools (because in the past I have had my email destroyed by doing so) and that this is more involved than I care to get for what I want to do with the file. Now you are a modder, and these tasks may seem easy and routine to you and they probably are. It isn't to me. I have weighed what I wanted to do with the audio file vs. the value of the time I would have to spend reading this information and figuring it out vs. doing something else with the time. I have deemed not worth my time and am moving on.

Please lets return the channel to modding rather than personal attacks.

I appreciate your effort by the way.

[fresh arch]

Im letting you know a) tools are open sourced b) are available to download without any account. It takes 5 minutes to open the guide, then google "tool name github" to get started. This is what I and Devilin are trying to convey. You choose not to do that, that is not my problem anymore.

And if you feel attacked, modhelp command is for everyone to use

[worldly mist]

Understood, thank you.

[fallow meadow]

@fresh arch Can you confirm if that tree texture repetition / bark or somesort issue has been fixed with the current Experimental update?

[fresh arch]

Nope because I'm not on the experimental build

Im a public branch boi

[fallow meadow]

Ok, thanks though

@round sinew noticed how cacti appear to have been fixed, which looked to be a pretty similar issue (#nms-questions message)
Maybe someone else can confirm

[fresh arch]

Uhm wait a moment

So textures / models prolly untouched

[round sinew]

hmm

[fallow meadow]

Hmmm, interesting. Already had a laugh at DualSense adaptive trigger feedback being the culprit apparently, but yeah, nothing really changed that we know should make a diff?

[round sinew]

i didn't update any mods recently so it couldn't have been that either

i can test vanilla to see if it's still fixed there too

[fallow meadow]

Have you noticed trees with issues as well?

[round sinew]

me? yeah

[fallow meadow]

Ok, because I have not paid attention at all, or I would know where to look for an issue that 'was' there prior

[round sinew]

here's how cactus looked like

[fresh arch]

I'll be 100% honest here

The 1st time I saw the tree moss texture issue posted

I thought the bug was "why is the mining indicator so high up"

I completely missed the weird looks of the textures

[fallow meadow]

I'll add a link for reference, so I do not have to scroll that much (#nms-modding message)

[drowsy solstice]

Anyone know of a mod that adds freighter scan abilities to starships ?

[worldly mist]

@fresh arch @fallow meadow UPDATE: My wife, being the one who wanted the file, gave me a death stare. Alas, I was sufficiently motivated to figure it out and did. Thank you immensely for the assistance.

[round sinew]

@fallow meadow that screenshot was taken on the 24th of july. here's some on trees, from july 27th (just found ones from july 23rd). oh and - found another shot of cactus from july 13th, also with the issue

4.37 dropped july 13th. that might have been when, actually.

[fallow meadow]

Just checked similar trees in the NMSCord Hub, but there they looked fine to me

[round sinew]

i can say for sure that distira trees had that problem for me too

i'll go and check real quick before dinner

[fallow meadow]

🪄 it is!

[fresh arch]

I think this is hardcoded in the exe so we can't add that as a mod

[drowsy solstice]

oh ok no worries, thats a shame really

[fresh arch]

From the game files (GC Technology Table), the freighter scanner room uses the same stat type as the starship's econ and conflict scanner

[drowsy solstice]

then theoretically shouldn't it be possible to do so, i mean i know its not but you would think so

[fresh arch]

I don't see anything that makes game the starship modules do this and the freighter module do the other thing based on the stat type called

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok

the only mod i could find remotely close is this https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2144?tab=description but i cannot for the life of me figure out how it works lol

it uses a UI interface to pinpoint certain things, not the same as what im looking for but i guess its something

[round sinew]

hehe it is indeed 😄 i'll check more trees later

[fallow meadow]

@drowsy solstice You mentioned issues with tree textures too if I recall correctly? For some reason it may have solved itself in the current Steam Experimental. Are you able to confirm?

[drowsy solstice]

yea i have them issues

and still do lol

[fresh arch]

Mod adds various scan events tuned for different structures

Reward objects call these scan events

And dialogue options call the reward object

[fallow meadow]

And you are playing the Experimental branch?

[drowsy solstice]

no unfortunately not

[fallow meadow]

Ah ok, that explains, as we are only now noticing this with the current experimental update

[drowsy solstice]

yea i read that part, i guess its the best i'll get considering the limitations due to the hardcoding

[drowsy solstice]

well i look forward to public release so my trees look more glorious again

[fresh arch]

This is basically borrowing what game already uses to find structures for missions

Copying it hundred times, one for shelter, one for trading outpost, etc...

[fallow meadow]

Appreciate it, thanks for the feedback

[fresh arch]

Then for each of them making a dialogue option which calls the reward object which calls the scan event

[drowsy solstice]

so basically it takes what maps do just in a slightly different way

[drowsy solstice]

no worries

[fresh arch]

Either maps of game missions, can't tell exactly

[drowsy solstice]

ah ok

im gonna give it another go and see how it feels if i can figure it out

[gaunt hemlock]

is there a way of stopping the popup that says that you are running a modded version of the game from appearing when you load a game?

[hearty wasp]

Not atm

[plain oyster]

From the website, how do I get standalone photos of these

Was told to ask here

Don’t want them all clustered

[round sinew]

@plain oyster basically, you need to unpack at least the game file (one of the PAK files inside game install folder\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\) that has the TEXTURES\ folder, with the icons you need (see attached image for path example:)

sorry in that one they're already converted to png

(in my pc, here's what DDS files look like: )

personally, i really like using NMSMB for achieving part of this task, you can find it here, https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilder

i don't know which file exactly has the icons you're looking for but it shouldn't take long to find them once you've got the hang of NMSMB (the quick start on the github page can help)

i'm going to logoff in a few, but when i'm back i don't mind assisting further, if still needed

[hearty wasp]

Some of them you don't

HG's known to have put some decal textures into these collages that don't exist in the game

But otherwise what bk201 said

[hearty wasp]

Renderdoc with Compressonator makes em show up as thumbnails

That's what I'm using anyway

[night adder]

@fresh arch Maps or missions... so you eliminated scanning tech as a possibility?

[fresh arch]

No thinking process was involved when I was writing this

I just said whatever comes to my mind that could be related to this functionality lol

[blazing crescent]

@thorn timber i have no idea if its even possible to mod the game on Mac but Im sure you could save edit in the helmet, its specifically called the Wayfarer's helm and was obtained in the Singularity expedition a few months ago, otherwise they do re reruns of previous expeditions at the end of the year so you could stay tuned and wait for that

[thorn timber]

I might give that a shot and see what happens if I wait honestly, if I do end up figuring it out though I’ll try to remember to tell you so you know it works lol

[steel crypt]

@fallow meadow @round sinew I know it was mentioned that models and textures were not changed in the experimental, but they are probably not the issue. The repeating textures issue is most likely in a shader file or the exe. If there was a change in exe that fixed it, Lo2k or anyone doing a diff compare wouldn’t show “no files changed except exe” or “no file changes” because we are only worried about the other files in paks

I don’t use experimental, but it should be easy to see the issue/lack of issue if you go to a lush planet with trees. Most of those trees, if not all, would show the issue.

[round sinew]

ime so far, they are fixed all across the board

makes sense to me that it would be a change inside the exe

would it be expectable for this to have fixed heatwave fx, jason? at the same time?

[steel crypt]

Not sure. Not sure if it’s related. I can see it being both ways.

I sure want the refraction shader fixed! You will see a much milder heatwave and an unbroken black hole if so. Prob easiest way to tell. I would check myself if on experimental. Have checked every update for a while now.

[round sinew]

will double check, and let you know

going in game in a few minutes, got some other stuff i need to check anyway

[round sinew]

@steel crypt apparently not

heatwave doesn't seem to be working

pretty sure this planet had the strongest heatwave setting

[gaunt hemlock]

anyone know of any nice shaders which look natural?

[cinder valley]

If anyone hasn't seen this yet, I made this last year and it's still providing amazing caves. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2528

[proper flax]

i’m scared some of these maybe viruses

[fresh arch]

Each mod file uploaded onto Nexus Mods gets scanned

If you click on the green icon you will see the scanner report

Plus many mods have their "source code" in form of LUA or C# scripts available on GitHub

[steel crypt]

Yeah but that could be a big conspiracy. Nexus could be not scanning them, and instead adding viruses! 😲

[fresh arch]

You mean like adding on top of mine?

What a waste of processing power

[cinder valley]

I've been modding since the beginning, if i was putting viruses i would have been banned by now lol

also probally should change my name on here to my nexus name

[steel crypt]

Nexus doesn’t just scan. If you try to upload certain file types, they will quarantine it until you request they manually look at the file.

[fresh arch]

Didn't know that

And I guess from end user perspective that's not relevant

If the mod's available to download, that means it passed the safety checks

[weary ruin]

all mods are a virus in a way, they infect the standard game to change its behavior 🙂

[fresh arch]

Says the person responsible for virus factory 😄

[rapid sandal]

pak files don't contain any 'code' that executed by the game, they only contains static assets like textures, config files, audio files, ... so for a pak to contain a virus the author would have had to reverse eng the game and 3rd party libs (like wwise audio), looked through the pak item load functions, found a vulnerability like a buffer overrun, then created an asset that exploits the vulnerability in some meaningful way.

[wintry bolt]

hey, does anyone know how to be teleported to a randon galaxy via "galactic address"

[green prairie]

you mean vortex? 😮

the only way to travel galaxy other than someone inviting you to it, is through save edit

well, other than doing the jump into the galaxy core, but that's not random either

[hearty wasp]

Galactic address is intra galaxy

Which galaxy you're is in another param

[lime mesa]

Can anyone update this mod?

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/234?tab=files

[hearty wasp]

People will do it if they want to

Even if you put up a bounty

[lime mesa]

Oh i would because i really want this mod

i tried to do it myself but its really hard to do

i'm not a modder

[green prairie]

by looking at the xml there is a lot of shit that was either added to the game (most likely) or were already there and the modder removed them to make his UI work

[lime mesa]

Yeah except it doesn't work because the game crashes with this mod installed

[green prairie]

ye, a lot of new shit was added to the UI since that mod was made, so I don't even know if it's possible to make it work without remaking the whole thing from scratch

[lime mesa]

Welp its a lost cause then

unless there's a modder i can pay

[green prairie]

that's alot of greens and reds

[lime mesa]

jezus

Well i don't know i have no idea how to fix that

[lime mesa]

there way to speed it up to make the night come some mod exist about day/night cycles i want choose night or day i need?

[hearty wasp]

Can you rephrase that

You want only nighttime?

[solid hawk]

Look in GCSKYGLOBALS.GLOBAL. property called DayLength. Set in seconds

Numerous Lua scripts for AMUMSS to set this and generate a .pak

What compiler version did you use for the modded mbins? It's gotta be a really old one. Do you have copy or link?

[green prairie]

I used amumss to extract

it tried mbincompiler until it went through, used 1.30 and something

[steel crypt]

Thanks. I might have time to look at updating it just to see if it will even work with the exe and shaders now. Kinda doubtful lol.

[quartz trail]

Hello, do you guys have any must have mod suggestions?

[fresh arch]

Most people will recommend ArghWater to improve water looks, Duds Sky Colours for a more vibrant game and the No Lag When Leaving Planets mod for a slight optimization

Gumsk has some nice custom ship and freighter models

Apart from that, pick any recently updated mod from Nexus that strikes your fancy

:o

Thank you, this is great

I don't need to try to learn anything

[drowsy solstice]

yea an extreme amount

[serene sorrel]

It sounds complicated but it was quite simple! You basically put your game path into the packaged text file (if different from default) and then run the bat and it does the rest 🙂

[cinder valley]

Thinking of making am app to track discoveries

[steel crypt]

I looked into it. Many things have changed since then. Systems for making the HUD are done differently now. Without getting into the details, it would have to be a ground up rebuild...if that's even possible because it might get into shaders which are kinda off limits. Doing it back when this was made was waaay easier because things were much more simple then.

I think maybe it can be done, but would be a difficult project.
Maybe a modder more familiar with HUD stuff and some shader knowledge could do it.

[fresh arch]

Damn HG making complicated things in a complicated way

/s

[steel crypt]

That's confusing. Are you saying that it's not working incorrectly....but it's just not doing anything at all?
If so, that's interesting.

[serene sorrel]

Huh. I can kind of see why HG changed the HUD but that old style HUD suits the pulp sci-fi aesthetics pretty well.. hmm

[green prairie]

hopefully with the next update the game runs better so I can not be disappointed with playing the game and maybe get ideas for new mods

because right now the only idea I have it's impossible to do

[hardy dune]

is there a mod that guaranteed to have freighter battles in outlaw or all systems or even one that makes them more common than every 3 hours

[green prairie]

you can remove the cooldown, remove the warp amount or both and make everytime you warp has a battle, which is kinda annoying

[plain oyster]

how do I save the change

[hazy void]

Quick question as I haven’t modded my game previously, only did so a few weeks ago and all I installed was a few graphics mods. Since we potentially have a new update soon, should I disable all my mods before updating? Just checking as I’m really enjoying the graphics mods, but I don’t want to break my game on a new update

[fresh arch]

Yeah you should

Each mod that is not updated could cause all kinds of problems

Learned that once myself

[hazy void]

Thanks!! I figured as much, I appreciate it excited for the new update though

[solid hawk]

Disable mods temporarily when a new NMS major version comes out. Can re-enable mods as they get updated for the new release.

[leaden laurel]

@summer dew you use a save editor mostly

[summer dew]

How do I keep my items

[leaden laurel]

It just replaces the base part of it, like the inside. Does not really effect your inventory to much. But the app that does this is a bit complicated, but the person does give a tutorial on it.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2439

[summer dew]

No I meant my storage containers

Should I just move everything into ones on a planrt

[leaden laurel]

Well, anything in storage containers will stay there, as long as it's in another place like a planetary base.

They all share the same space.

[summer dew]

Planet and frieghter storage containers are the same?

[leaden laurel]

Yeah

[summer dew]

Didn't know that

What if I delete the frieghter ones and don't have ones on a planet

Will the items delete

[leaden laurel]

never tried that before tbh, but im guessing it should still be there once you build the container again.

[summer dew]

Maybe I'll try

[leaden laurel]

Yeah, lemme know also please hehe

[summer dew]

But thx for the info I'll look into improrting that base

I've always wanted a cyperpunk base on my frieghter

[leaden laurel]

I got lost in it lol

[summer dew]

That's awesome 😍

[summer dew]

Also the new ||robot race|| will be perfect npcs there

[summer dew]

Im gonna save edit in a base on my frieghter is there anything I will lose?

I'm already making storage on a planet

[marble slate]

can anyone share their modlist? I messed up on mine.

[solid hawk]

Mods are completely subjective. A mod you like might be one I hate or vice versa. Choose ones you want to use yourself. 🙂 Start with the question, "what do I want to change about the game?", then seek mods which make those changes.

[leaden laurel]

Sorry, fell asleep lol. Did you do this?

Oh

Is there a fix

[hearty wasp]

Get a better CPU

[hearty wasp]

That may help too

[summer dew]

Where is that option

[hearty wasp]

In game

ok it works so much better now

thx gleam

[jagged spoke]

Can anyone get me the sound file for the starship communications alert sound? I really want to set it as my ringtone

[green prairie]

did you enable the game to load unlimited parts of the base?

[summer dew]

Theres a bug on the freighter base i just imported via nmsc where I plant plants and walk away and when i come back they are gone

not invisible just gone

[smoky cloak]

is it normal that i literally cant see any save files where they should be? i use the XboxGP for PC version and im trying to use NMSSE and the only thing in "c:\users<profile name>\appdata\HelloGames\NMS" is "defaultuser\cache" and no save files

I tried using nomnom, need to find out how to add items and technology I dont already own, or at least duplicate ones I already do

Once you've entered a save for editing, to add an item, right click on an empty cargo spot

Choose Add/Replace to bring up the search dialog. Then you have to find whatever it is you're look for.

To refill/add inventory to an existing item, right click on the item, can choose Fill, which will give max, or Details, where you can be more granular.

For unlocking Equipment or craft items, use the Catalogue tab.

As it's a popular mod: To those who use CompanionPetUnlocker, more specifically the Lua script for it, the upcoming mod update for Echoes will be using a refactored script, utilizing some features of newer versions of AMUMSS. If, for whatever reason, you don't wish to update your old (pre 4.1.x) AMUMSS install, keep a copy of the "old" script to use.
