#

I disagree on that. That makes the variation superficial at best.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

for example

#

But look at toxic and lush biomes for example

#

They are drastically different.

#

Variety/visual wise.

#

Ofc

#

They are varied differently.

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

A toxic biome should be paired with poisonous flora, and venomous creatures.

#

Yet they haven't that.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

Yeah, I agree on that.

#

I'm referring to interactable objects

#

I mean

#

Are we talking about two different things?

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

Flora and creatures are interactive elements largely rendered hollow by current implementation.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

I wonder why HG didn't restrict the toxic biomes to relevant creature types.

#

That can easily be done

#

I did so in the mod

#

Yeah, my mod has different flora functionalities and a lot of them interact different from one another.

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

It doesn't matter much given the creatures are still limited. None of them will poison you and make you lose hitpoints and scramble for antivenom.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

Is that something that you would like to see implemented into the game by HG?

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

Same with the flora.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

It's something that I would like to see

#

There's dangerous flora in the game

#

unused

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

Yeah. I think it would be a tiny step towards helping realize the places as places.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

Okay, I see what you're saying.
That "variety wise" that biomes in general for NMS (Modded or Unmodded) would feel more immersive if the very things in them felt more interactive in an immersive way. That it doesn't really have to be buildings or whatsoever.

#

But something that feels more alive.

#

Is that it?

#

Like what you described about toxic biomes for exampl

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

Yeah, basically. That each has more to them than a different visor effect and hazard warning.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

Yeah, that's what I'm aiming to do the furthest extent that I can push it with in-game assets ofc.

#

But a lot of things as we both know

#

Would need to be implemented by HG.

#

However, It's true that in general thngs with NMS could be pushed waaaaayyyyy further

#

with what's already here.

#

It's just time consuming to do so

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

It's across the board, really. It goes down to the very basic behaviors of the plants and animals to the potential for the strange and dangerous in structures.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

Yeah, every assett in the game could be re-worked.

#

Or a lot

#

Would make a huge difference overall

#

I felt the same way about the ecology

#

Actually

#

In the ecologytable that I'm working on... I thought to myself... "Why are there antelopes on toxic planets?"

#

So I had to do something about that

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

But yeah, like ya said. A lot of it is on HG's end and for us it's a matter of trying to make the time when we have the rest and motivation.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:43 PM

#

And began to asemble certain custom creatures

#

From E3 files, that I researched, found the updated information for (As some things are outdated), and ported over

#

And restricted them to certain biome types

#

and also lowered the amount of life overrall and changed their probabilities

#

and setup dozens of rules per creature type and adjusted the values in a unique way for each of the rules

#

So that they should make sense

#

It's a small step

#

But I feel that it's a lot better than default

#

There's multiple ways to restrict creatures

#

Although, as discussed...

#

Creatures in their approach

#

needs to be ovehauled

#

On HG's end

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

What I'd kill for, even on a basic level of implementation, are more really alien creatures. I feel like the reason for seeing cows/antelopes in unfitting feeling environs is in part from the limited pool.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

Like hopefully they add new animations, and new functionalities to them overall

#

Yeah

#

Well, I'm planning to do custom creatures

#

in time

#

It's possible

#

I prefer not to say too much about it though

#

Also

#

I guess working with what we have right now

inland sky Jan 27, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

There are more alien creatures, but cows and antelopes are the ones set to be the most common

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

There's a lot of things that can be done that would make a good difference

#

ecology wise

#

That I did on my end

#

The way I would go about that is...

#

I would restrict them to certain biomes, re work the actual table that it's being called in

#

And then in the datatable force them to only spawn when their id is being called

#

And also adjust the way those creatures behave, alongside their physical appearences

#

etc...

#

And go into the scenes and entities

#

And make further relevant adjustments

#

And look for anywhere else in the files where something could be potentially ported/crossed over into that creature file.

#

A few things I did for the ecology overhaul

#

Another thing @supple wadi

#

HG specified unique creatures with more advanced rules and appearences per biome pre release.

#

If that slot was utilized it would make a HUGE difference.

#

I've been working on it still

#

I'm porting ove those pre release creatures into the standard game and creating custom rules for them

#

Also, some of those older creatures have certain animations and behaviors that aren't currently utilized. It's quite interesting 😃

#

You know what would also be great?

#

More realistic creature sounds. 😛

#

Need to find out if the frequency has any relevancy for it in the creatureaudiotable

#

Or if the game chooses based on their size

#

I remember reading an article that talked about that

supple wadi Jan 27, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

I'm telling ya and anyone else that's listening we need to test big head mode on creatures and see if it's tied to that or the torsos.

dreamy tulip Jan 27, 2018, 6:55 PM

#

This article talks about it

#

https://www.redbull.com/int-en/no-mans-sky-interview-and-preview

#

Hello Games has invented an algorithm that scans the bone structure of an animal and combines them with different heads, feet and necks from other species. After that, the system alters the bone structure so that every animal we've seen so far looks like it was designed by hand. Even the sound of their voice matches the volume of their body. And they are not just there for show: they genuinely appear to live their own lives.

#

Very little of the audio is procedurally created, only the creature vocals and background fauna. At the moment it’s too expensive and risky to widely use this approach, although there are several tools in development that may help with this. Procedural audio is just one more option amongst more traditional approaches and the best approach as always is to use whatever combination best works for a particular project.

@narrow monolith , @north raft , @narrow zinc, @warm thistle How is terrain variety with the mod?

#

I'm looking for input in regard to the terrain overhaul that I made for the mod. Does every planet feel unique terrain wise in it's own way now?

#

Or does it feel repetitive.

narrow monolith Jan 28, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

I'm finding the variety very Good, but that's comparing it to vanilla so it's always going to feel great.

dreamy tulip Jan 28, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

Thank you for your input. My goal is infinite terrain variety, or near infinite terrain variety. I personally believe that I achieved that... however, if not, I will not stop until I actually do. One thing that I can say is that within the past 3-4 months... there has not been a planet that I've landed on that has been similar terrain wise yet after rewriting the voxel generation nine times.

do i still need to save at a freighter if i want to use the overhaul on an existing save after installation?

dreamy tulip Jan 29, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

@old tendon No need anymore. 😃

#

The overhaul is now fully compatible with vanilla saves... except for vanilla bases.

old tendon Jan 29, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

Awesome!

#

Thanks!

warm thistle Jan 29, 2018, 2:35 AM

#

It's pretty awesome how much customization is possible, the skies of the e3 biomes you've been adding look so alien yet beautiful at the same time

dreamy tulip Jan 29, 2018, 2:37 AM

#

Thanks, and I love it

#

It's fun to do different things

#

I like the feeling of having a lot of variety to explore

#

I just made those grassy plains biomes procedural

#

Tomorrow, I'll likely work on multi biomes

#

There's a lot I did recently

#

I also gave appropriate collisions to biomes that lacked them, made more underwater and cave biomes, and also gave the cave/underwater biomes proper colission

#

As the one's in vanilla lacked colission in some places

#

Also, sensible things should be able to be destroyed by the exocraft

HG needs to add this mod to an official update

thin valve Jan 29, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

I have an explanation for that @dreamy tulip @old tendon

#

It's because the entire radius of the planet you were on shrunk due to the mod making planet sizes differently

#

The ship however doesn't move to compensate

#

And remains landed at the height it was before you installed the mod

#

It happened to me on multiple saves

#

Both underground and above the surface

#

It's pretty strange

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

@dreamy tulip Just cleaned my folder, reinstalled your mod etc. I noticed previously (deleted now from recycle bin) I had 6 individual Redmas alternative ships files, but I can't seem them now in your mod. Are they automatically installed or do I need to redownload those and add them again?

inland sky Jan 29, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

Redmas stuff was removed in the latest versions

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 4:29 PM

#

ah ok, so if I want to reinstall all the extra ships, which mod will be needed?

#

Only ask because my save game I wasnt flying a vanilla ship, and now I've deleted my mod folder and reinstalled the latest RayRod stuff, I dont want there to be a problem as the mod ship wont be included in my saved game that I load

inland sky Jan 29, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

There is still tons of ships from the moarships mod included

#

or what kind of ship was it?

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 4:31 PM

#

cant remember the name, it was flipping awesome looking though. Think it was a fighter, black with red accents, like a fork at the front with 2 jet engines at the back.

inland sky Jan 29, 2018, 4:31 PM

#

the moarship ones are the static models which are quite different from the vanilla ones, redmasses ones are the ones with different part placements and slightly different looks, longer parts and similar

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

ah might have been this one

#

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/561]

#

looks like ill need to install moarships mod then right?

inland sky Jan 29, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

its included so shouldn't be needed

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

ah ok didnt realiie

#

realise

#

think it was the "Krant Fighter"

old tendon Jan 29, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

@thin valve ah I see, thanks!

dreamy tulip Jan 29, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

@thin valve @old tendon
Actually, that issue is related to something else.

#

Altering the planetary sizes and solar system scales should not cause a ship to do that when starting on a fresh save

#

The core mod no longer changes the solar system and planetary scales alongside their positioning. The E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems mod is now optional.
If you start a fresh save on the E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems mod your ship should be normal.
If you enable the E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems mod on a pre-existing saveyou will be floating in space, rather than on a planet as a result of the positioning of everything in the system changing.

#

What would cause you to be underground or above ground when loading up a vanilla save with the mod is the internal terrain overhaul (which isn't vanilla terrain).
What would cause you to be underground or above ground when loading up a new version of the mod with a save made with the mod on the older overhaul version would be because the biome changed. (A lot of things are subject to change, and I'm still making new biomes daily.) Biomes interact with the voxel generation in certain ways.

#

The reason why it was recommended to start a fresh save or save in a freighter prior to installing the overhaul mod in the past was only because E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems was formerly a part of the core overhaul mod file. Freighters were also the only thing that did not get repositioned with the mod. Space stations sorta could work, but they did get repositioned a bit... so a freighter was best. Now that it's optional, the mod is fully compatible with vanilla saves (with the exception of not compatible with vanilla bases; because the terrain overhaul is likely to change the leveling etc... since it has near infinite variety).

#

I also highly recommend using the optional "E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems" mod that I made located in Optional Mods > RaYRoD > E3 Scaled Planets + Solar Systems

#

This optional mod scales the planets and solar systems slightly down to resemble E3 style planets and systems. This can create some really nice visuals and aesthetics. I primarily use this as default, but it has been left optional due to some people not reading the instructions and having issues.

#

@narrow monolith Alternate ships by Redmas will no longer be included with the mod. I chose to remove it some time back. However, you can optionally download it from his page.
Also... Moarships by Krem is integrated into here in a particular way and the standalone is not needed/compatible with the overhaul.
There are also a few ships that I made, and more that I'm working on.

#

I also love the Krant from Moarships 😛

#

Nice choice

narrow monolith Jan 29, 2018, 5:17 PM

#

:) yep didn't bother with redmas alternate ships seeing as the moarships has everything i need.

#

Just wanted to clean out my mod folder to see if that helped my ecology spawning situation.

#

Planet after planet the only fauna I now see are flyers. Really starting to frustrate me as I want to 100% a planet.

dreamy tulip Jan 29, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

Lots of stuff (ecology related is coming soon) including improvements and fixes
You're gonna need to hang on... or I can make you a vanilla ecology hotfix in the meantime. 😛

#

I'm heavily working on these things/multitudes of things (for the next BETA) and it's time consuming.

I need to remove that, it's redundtant the craftable tech

#

@warm thistle Awesome man, lots coming. I'm actually working on ecology now

#

Have bene for the past few hours

#

So far I have a list of 23 custom creatures that I've put together, I just finished 13 of them so far.
There's already a ton of custom creatures in the game with the mod. The new beta will have better creature life adjustments. The old version likely has it too low. However, the mod will make ecology slightly more rare... as we don't want every planet over saturated with creatures.... (like vanilla)

#

Aiming to make those moments special an varied

#

I'm also porting all E3 creatures rules from all E3/pre-release planets

narrow zinc Jan 29, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

oh speaking of sentinel ships. I was once in a trade station and there was like 5 of them. does that mean it was just a hostile planet or they were just normal ships that were very common in that particular star system?

Not much, because everything has been overhauled x10

but some things still

tawny peak Jan 30, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

Just curious Rayrod, what kind of things are possible to change under the engine? like clearly you can fucking go nuts with generation, but is it just as easy to say, change how the grind works (on a technical level)

supple wadi Jan 30, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

Grind's a lot easier, lol

dreamy tulip Jan 30, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

@frosty vine What do you feel that I did better in PF?

supple wadi Jan 30, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

If we wanted we could totally rebalance a lot of the grindy aspects of the game.

dreamy tulip Jan 30, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

@tawny peak What gmr said is right

tawny peak Jan 30, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

that gives me hope for modding, and for the vanilla game

#

Hopeful all round guys!

supple wadi Jan 30, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

But there's a load going on there in terms of different techs/products/etc. and trying to feel out a good balance is tough.

dreamy tulip Jan 30, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

I wrote this in the past in regard to what I'm doing:

"The game is actually more difficulty than vanilla with the mod, but there may be a few things that could make it be easier in some aspects; which I could null out for you.
So, even though it's largely exploration based
The game is also more difficult than default; with minor adjustments to prevent redundancy
So that you still need to grind, but it doesn't feel overwhelming and the exploration incentive keeps one going. I'm trying to create a good balance, making adjustments here and there to perfect that. :)"

supple wadi Jan 30, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

What I feel is good balance may not match with others', after all.

supple wadi Jan 30, 2018, 6:57 AM

#

But that doesn't make for great gameplay, and creative basically handles much of that.

so how do i find bases without the booster?

Okay, so... alike vanilla, there is a certain way that you have to add certain things to bases

#

You cannot place a construction terminal in the main base room

#

You have to do so in a new room, or floor

It depends on what kinda snake you're after, tbh.

make a corn snake

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:37 AM

#

Well, the one in the picture there... I'm thinking more-so of a snake slithering in the grass

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:37 AM

#

But generally a snake's body is roughly cylindrical, and the head tapers off into a flatter portion, with some variance depending on the type of snake.

#

Basically you can do as you've done with skies and pull up some reference photos, pick a type you like the look of, and try to find something that matches with to a degree.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:39 AM

Yep, it's an eel

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:41 AM

That's the eel one

#

The actual snake one looks more so like a dragon

#

There's a few other files with snake parts

#

May take a look

#

Like the shark for example

#

Also, I've seen a PS4 build only snake reference (That might actually be the trailer snake)

I've been surveying the star systems recently to get a better handle on the biome probabilities.

Oh cool.

For the spectral class types right?

I recall seeing a wiki about it

#

In the past

#

Not sure if it changed though.

#

On 1.3

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:54 AM

#

Not that, just the biome probabilities within like yellow/red/green/blue.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

Ah

#

I've been looking into that too a bit

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

I know we have values for those in a file, but adjustments there don't translate as precisely as I'd like, so I'm trying to pin down why.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:55 AM

#

I was last night

#

Like, the values 1, 2

#

for example

#

I'm thinking either it increases the probability

#

Or... could it mean 2 lush planets possible?

#

I'm thinking the former

#

As always

#

But I do wonder what causes multiple biome types per system

#

Lest it's solely probability

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

It for sure sorta increases the probability, but cutting down to 0 isn't a certain: "This won't ever appear." Except in the case of Exotic planets.

#

So I'm thinking there may be some underlying values at play which those then act as a sort of modifier for in some way.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:57 AM

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

There's some custom assets mixed in, like ships, but those are adjusted by Krem to work in the game.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Yep

#

Those are not in-game assets

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Yeah I was about to say with the ships. But it's amazing that you've done all of this just with whats in game already

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Well, some are paritally there

#

partially

#

Not all

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

you've restored some of the e3 stuff right?

#

have you found like the e3 buildings? I loved the look of them

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah, lots of E3 features.... and more to come 😃

#

I'll be working on those soon

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

cool

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

It's basically what many of us in the modding community have said for ages. Many of NMS' variation issues are more to do with distribution & arrangement than anything else.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:00 AM

#

Have been on my todo list for 4 months

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

RaY's work more or less proves a ton of that.

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

Its not the size that counts but what you do with it

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

Same with other less extensive biome mods, tbh.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

Yeah

#

I'm an ocd perfectionist

#

And I have lots of stuff temporaily disabled

#

Until it meets my standard

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

whats like the probability of you reworking water? if the next update doesn't do it?

#

is that feasible or nah

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

So, the motive here is...

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

Which aspect of the water, lol

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

all of it

#

haha

#

the texture, the spawn rate, the physics

clever adder Jan 31, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

joey just pour water on your screen

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

lol

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

✅ solved

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

So the motive/ambition here is Quality over Quantity
Yet.... Quality and Quantity

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

Textures can be adjusted, "spawn rate" is an odd bit that can sorta be adjusted. Physics is...Mm, not entirely sure what of that we can mess with.

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

by spawn rate I mean generation sorry

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

Yeah, nah, I followed.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

In regard to water... I have wroekd the water a lot with textures, and also a bit in the shaders.. (also included Lo2k's edits)

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

cool

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

It's something that can be messed with, for sure.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

Well, Physics is another thing,... I messed with water physics a tiny bit

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

Like we can get tides working through shaders to a degree.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

Not sure how much can be done with that

#

And the way water can spawn, I've done a lot with that

#

Within generation

#

It's voxel based

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

so flowing rivers and waterfalls would be tough?

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

I think so

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

damn

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

I bet it could be done with the shaders

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

~~damn~~ dam

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

HG used shadertoy for a lot of things

clever adder Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

xddddd dam cause water

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

Yes & no, depending on which way you want to see. If you wanted an illusion, there's stuff that can be worked with to that end.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

And there's really dynamic water that can be made in the shaders w/o the need for textures

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

I see.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

The game actually does have a flowing liquid effect

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

it does?

#

haha

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

Just barely used, and not sure how far it could even be expanded

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

If you want a retro approach to a nice looking controlled flow effect, the game supports scrolling textures, so. lol

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

Yeah, the oil in abandoned buildings

#

But likely a scrolling

#

effect

#

Now that GMR said that

#

Not sure lol

#

But it legit looks like it's flowing

#

unless

#

It's a prop hanging down

#

With an oilish texture

#

And a scrolling effect

#

lol

#

idk

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

oh shit yeah you're right

#

I dunno, I just think some verticality with water just appeals to us for some reason

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:07 AM

#

There's also the weird orb plants on scorched planets.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

Oh yeah

#

That oil looks more like that

#

But I do recall that someone mentioned Sean at GDC talking about how they desire/intend to work more on the water

#

And the terrain

#

The water shader at E3 looked much better than now

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

I'd love some avatar pillar cliffs with waterfalls just fucking rocketing down the sides

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:08 AM

#

Alike the clouds

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

So like if someone wanted to, they could totally create some spring-like objects or even fountains probably, for some occasional isolated little flowing liquid bits.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

And planets, and planet visual variety imo

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

yeah i noticed the water effects looked super good in the e3 demo

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

Ah cool

#

About the liquid bits statement

#

And yeah it did

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:10 AM

#

its tough. I'm kinda thinking that NMS might be better off becoming more modular with its generation

#

but I dunno

#

having some set prop types instead of leaving the generation to chance

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

You know what I would love?

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

what?

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

Despite how broken and outdated it might be

#

If we had an option to select an E3 build

#

Via the menus

#

But that would be extremely complicated to do I think xD

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

Yeah

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

Or imagine a portal taking you

#

to a parallell universe

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

I'm sure they have the local files

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:11 AM

#

Of E3 Nostalgia

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:12 AM

#

I'd love to see that nightime glowy planet

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:13 AM

#

I partially got something like that working

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:13 AM

#

ooh

#

hows the framerate with all the light effects going off?

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:13 AM

#

Perfectly fine on my end

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

lol we should just pin your specs tho.

#

Because you are running a pretty powerful config.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:14 AM

#

My Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Amp Extreme!, 16GB Ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4960X CPU @ 3.60GHz (12 CPUs) ~3.6GHz, 8TB HDD, Samsung 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

#

It's a variation of a particular tree model, and likely other stuff going on

#

But I also believe it relates to lighting and certain visual effects

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:15 AM

#

alright

#

actually low key one of my biggest gripes with the game

#

is the cockipt variety

#

or lack thereof

#

It just grinds my gears haha

#

krem?

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:16 AM

#

Krem's moarships has more cockpit variety*

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:16 AM

#

oh

#

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:16 AM

#

Kept hitting enter prior to typing it all

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 1:17 AM

#

haha I hate that ay

#

NMS vanilla could do with some ship decals

#

also I saw his mod but I dunno. I'm not really into custom ships in that way.

#

bit lore breaking and feels seperate from the vanilla stuff

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 1:19 AM

#

Ah, the overhaul mod utilizes lore only based ships

#

And there's an extra file

#

to add the rest

#

And then there's the basebuild menu

#

sec

It's categorized in the way I set it up

Off to sleep. Today, I ported all ecology data from every version of the game, including dozens of custom creatures that I assembled, and various E3 creatures that I assembled. I also added around 30,000 more rule variations for the creatures ontop of the former 25,000.

tawny peak Jan 31, 2018, 8:06 AM

ruby torrent Jan 31, 2018, 10:02 AM

#

What is ecology data?

supple wadi Jan 31, 2018, 10:15 AM

#

Ecology data likely encompasses the the how/where flora & fauna may appear. So probably carrying that over from previous biome settings.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 10:35 AM

#

Ecology data as in creature related data and behavior

narrow monolith Jan 31, 2018, 12:12 PM

#

really looking forward to this next Beta, my ecology seems completely broken on every planet I land on. Nothing but flyers or planets that meant to have a dozen plus creatures yet I dont see one in hours of roaming.

#

the last video you made RayRod is amazing

#

i don't understand tho why with a GTX 1070, a I7-4770 and 12gb RAM my game doesn't go so well as in your videos. I understand you have a better level in your rig but it's not so far from my PC and the difference i see is big

#

maybe it is something else slowing my game? when i play Fallout 4 i'm supposed to play it at Ultra but my PC can't play it in Ultra...

narrow monolith Jan 31, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

@dreamy tulip hi mate. Just watched your recent upload to YouTube. How do I get the external flying camera?

clever adder Jan 31, 2018, 5:45 PM

#

chico you might be playing it at a higher resolution 🤔

narrow monolith Jan 31, 2018, 5:54 PM

#

Ray doesnt specify what in game settings he is using, but I'm pretty sure he only plays at 1080p. I think on your rig you should be getting upwards of 60fps easy on a 1070 if you're at 1080p that is

#

For reference I get around 70fps @ 1440p with the game maxed out on a 8700K @ 5GHz, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600mhz and a Vega 64 @1700/1100.

dreamy tulip Jan 31, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

Temporarily waking up to answer a few questions

#

@west notch

I'm playing at 1080p fully maxed out.

These are my specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Amp Extreme!, 16GB Ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4960X CPU @ 3.60GHz (12 CPUs) ~3.6GHz, 8TB HDD, Samsung 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

I'm not sure why the game is slow for you. However, the next BETA will have major performance optimizations. I know that one of the BETA's before the most recently uploaded one from a week ago or so lacked the perfomance hotfix. However, the new BETA will include the performance hotfix and various other performance adjustments that I made.

#

@narrow monolith I'm going to inbox you a test file, maybe it will help.

@narrow zinc Yeah, I coded a 3rd person flight mod in C++

#

It allows you to toggle in-between first and 3rd person view seamlessly.
Here's an older video of the mod (recorded by my friend Cyrus), from back when it was still in application form. Now it's a .dll that gets injected into the executable when inserted into the binaries folder with hotkeys:

@narrow zinc Rayrod uses a 3rd person flight already in the egine. He find a variable that make it available when changed. Another modder did a dll injection in c++ that allow to do it endlsessly. But the view is right behind the ship, its unplayable. And its very buggy. Rayrod cant update the mod cause he cant redo the dll without his modder friend.

#

it's the volcanic Yellowstone Lake btw

#

that would be so cool to come across in NMS

dreamy tulip Feb 1, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

@narrow zinc Lakes like that are in the overhaul 😃

dreamy tulip Feb 1, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

Also, in regard to what @lime mesa said about my 3rd person flight mod:

The 3rd person flight mod that I coded in C++ is based off of an in-game mechanic that Hello Games added. It is a boolean that is marked by false by default. This may also be an indication that Hello Games may very well be implementing it in themselves. The mod is also hacking various other files, (mbins, global mbins, external files outside of the mbins), and is also changing the game's field of view in real time by tweaking the tkgraphicsettings file in-between in real-time in-between using various hotkeys

For me it is not buggy at all and it works fine. For some they experienced rare issues, but I haven't had the time to fix it yet.

What was really buggy and unplayable was this old method, (the one that Redmas once found was cool but extremly buggy and unuseable because you couldn't land and would crash). Sadly, that was a dead end.

Now, I understand that a lot of people have absolutely no clue at all in regard to how I made the thing... but yes, I can update it. I also have better news... It doesn't even need updating! :P
Thanks to the fact that I've found consistent patterns in the memory, it has worked for the past 3 updates. In the event that it stops working I will update it, without needing help from my modder friend whom I worked on the extension directly with. His dll is coded in C++. My extension is also coded in C++ and I still have my C++ base for my flight mod; where I am planning to look for any potential issues when I have time as I'm pre-occupied doing everything else at the moment. Prior to the mod being in .dll form I was updating it every update in filebased and executable form. There's multiple ways that I can make the mod, but it's on temporal hold.

So, if you wanna give it a try... i'll send you the file; it may even work fine for you, as it works flawlessly in my videos @narrow zinc.

Be back soon

I was talking about the lack of interrest in the chosen views. The way its placed makes you hit everything and is not fun at all. Talking about my feeling about using it. Also the views slider werent working for me. Thats why i did a mod that placed the cam the way i liked. My 3rd person was very playable but was never released because the landing crash was systematic. People asked to test it because it was fresh new at this time. So i leaked pak of it. The fact that people added it in their mods pack to download is not my problem : D

dreamy tulip Feb 1, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

@lime mesa I understand that you are salty, because I kindly asked you to remove my flight mod from your mod page (and that you were abusive towards me in dm over it) and that you've decided to transfer that attitude here. However, I think that it's best that you let the authors of their own mods, answer questions about their own mods. There was no need for you to go out of your way to discredit my work within the range of a question that was directed towards me. I don't want anything to do with you.
