my attitude was to clarify what u meant by i"did a 3r person flight in c++"
dreamy tulip
Not entirely.
Nor was it accurate, but like I said... I think that it's best that we let the authors of their own mods, answer questions about their own mods.
versed flint
yes, hello
I'm going to step in
if any of you resort to trashtalking eachother in any way, you will lose priviledge to post in #nms-modding
no excuses, no "He did it first"
This is for Mods and images of them
not personal grudges
thank you
lime mesa
At a time, you ll have to create a platform were real modders can talk about real problems, like that
brazen pumice
DM
versed flint
like the modding server
lime mesa
Nope
brazen pumice
like we have said 100 times, or as gall just said, the modding server
versed flint
This is not up for discussion
dreamy tulip
@versed flint
Thank you, let's keep things civil here.
I will remember what you said.
brazen pumice
rayrod, this warning goes to you aswell
versed flint
And I hope you can go through with this, at least this time
dreamy tulip
I 100% agree. ๐
lime mesa
what this modding channel is for ? i dont get it
brazen pumice
to share your mods, its as simple as that
mod discussion, mod pictures, modding help
as gall said, not for either of you to say 'he did this' or 'he did that'
lime mesa
what you mean by mod discussion ?
talk about your mods, show them off
not petty squabbling
that was a mod discussion.
brazen pumice
this is not up for discussion
our decision is final, you can either listen to the rules or lose priveledges entirely
lime mesa
i think we have an issue if the moddisccussion channel is not up for mod discussions
No
the issue is
as expressed a hundred times
this channel is not
will not
and CAN NOT
be for infighting
I don't care who it is
or what about
Take it to DMs
or the modding server
this channel was created for allowing modders to reach the community directly
you see fighting, i see bringing another point of view of" look i am god"
I don't care how you see it
and neither does any other moderator
it's annoying
it isn't up for debate
versed flint
Strictly about images, mod download links, and actual mod discussion ("Hey, i found this mod" "Check this thing i found in X mod") etc
lime mesa
thats why modders never come here. You freakout every time u see real ones
Alright
Listen. Since you clearly don't understand this
nope i dont
This channel
and this server
is for anyone, and everyone "real" modders or not.
and as such
petty squabbling
And infighting
about mods will not be tolerated
this drama has gone on long enough
This channel is a place where you can reach the community directly
that was no drama
about your mods
not bicker wither other modders
you are sentinels level 5 i just mine a damn rock
grim lava
I don't quite understand that
brazen pumice
its a game reference, and to be honest, im losing patience here
grim lava
All I know is that you two throwing insults at each other does not equal to talk about modding
brazen pumice
@lime mesa take it or leave it, if you dont like the rules, leave the server
lime mesa
i know, thats why theres no modder here
great
we're not a modding server
this channel was an extention of good grace
and you're about at the end of the rope
if you dont want to face the true u ll live on lies
lime mesa
there s a truth noone wants to hear about here
versed flint
certainly not me, after 5 months of having to deal with this bullshit
but let's not keep on beating that dead horse
brazen pumice
@lime mesa seeing as there is not enough real modders here, i have removed your role as a no mans sky modder. if you'd like it back, show us some good behaviour, have a good day
lime mesa
thats not knowing me, and i dont need you to tell me if i am a modder or not
and people know my work
versed flint
ok, this is it
lime mesa
i mean people who cares about modding
brazen pumice
๐ Channel Unlocked ๐
This channel has now been updated with a new channel description to help everyone understand what we do and do not tolerate here. Please feel free to share you mods and discuss them, but any personal issues should be discussed over DM's. Thank-you for your co-operation

No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul - Grassy Plains
Exploring a few "grassy plains" biomes. There are a lot more variations.
warm thistle
I love love love those grassy plains, seems like an overall peaceful biome to get lost in
dreamy tulip
Thanks man! :)
Yeah... I thought it was really relaxing. I just made this biome for the next "immersion focused" BETA
So it will be included
narrow zinc
naiss
it's beautiful. nice work! @dreamy tulip
oh also, today i encountered a bug. I wanted to land near my base and the ship landed in the middle of the square habitable base instead
dreamy tulip
Not sure what would cause that, but I wouldn't call that a bug
I mean, in the vanilla game... lots of weird landings can happen
Unless something totally different happened
narrow zinc
idk, it just seemed as though it detected the base as a landing pad, because it clipped through the roof and landed exactly in the middle
dreamy tulip
That's weird, I'll look into it but that never happened to me like that
And there's nothing in the base telling the ship to recognize it
Thanks
narrow zinc
๐
lime mesa
I think you should close this channel for good
just wanted to share good ideas
Because Rayrod is banned from the "real" modder server. So i dont see why he can talk freely here
This is not the modding server.
yep, this channel is making no sense
dreamy tulip
@narrow zinc Looking to see if there's a bug now bud, if I fix it I'll send the file your way ๐
narrow zinc
alright. Thanks man
civic scaffold
is there a mod that gives you 100% of your materials back when you change bases_
?
dreamy tulip
@civic scaffold I am not sure, as I don't have much experience changing pre-existing bases. However, if I find a way to do it... I'd gladly make a mod for it for you.
Unless another modder here already knows or has a mod for it. ๐
civic scaffold
I havent found one yet
at least that works on the latest version
as far as I know, you loose a significant amount of materials when you change bases (without removing block by block your current one)
junior furnace
50% to be exact
warm thistle
Beautiful black lush planet i just found, at night time tons of the unused fiend crabs spawn on top of everything being black already, super scary
lime mesa
its a texture bug ๐
lime mesa
oh ok, couldnt tell
junior furnace
nice, why is EVERYTHING black ?
warm thistle
@dreamy tulip I haven't come across that one yet, that looks damn chilly haha so much I've yet to come across and I've put well over 12 hours so far with your overhaul installed, I've gotta ramp up my exploration and start visiting every planet in the solar systems I visit instead of just the visually appealing ones from space๐
warm thistle
Btw meant to ask, are moons removed with the e3 planets scale mod installed?
dreamy tulip
Yep, yes they are. However... it's possible to re-enable them with cheat engine.
I might make an extension for it in C++ though so that it auto injects when you boot the game.
It makes all planets different variations of smaller, E3 scaled, and adjusts the solar system scale (allowing space stations to appear in the atmosphere on occasion as well)
And can create some pretty visuals
The planets at E3 were typically smaller (There's preset data for it where HG specified various planetary sizes)
But they can also be scaled up
To the size of super earths via hacking the executable with asm code
warm thistle
Damn that's crazy, I play a lot with the e3 scaled planets mod, it def does make for some astounding views
dreamy tulip
Thanks man, I hope to get that moon re-enabler file based still ๐
Rather than needing CE
warm thistle
Damn I wonder how small the moons would be haha
civic scaffold
@dreamy tulip so you have any idea bout the item return value? (from bases)
lime mesa
As a protest To the Rayrod behavior against modders and the otherwelming prooves of it that i have in knowledge . I will make Space Adventures not available for public ( ask me in private if you need more information / update / fix )

Good to know
lime mesa
no u dont care
dreamy tulip
@civic scaffold Hi, again! I currently do not know as I haven't looked for any data related to it yet. @inland sky might know ๐
inland sky
me neither, haven't looked for it yet

something Ket does not know about values in NMS

lots of stuff I dont know
cinder delta
The walls between the simulations must be falling
dreamy tulip
Haha same here
There's a lot I don't know, a lot I do and am eager to learn ๐
It's like a treasure hunt
But a good learning experience
supple wadi
Lol. It's a wonder Ket keeps track of half of what they've gathered info on.
dreamy tulip
I don't write notes personally
supple wadi
Which is bad practice. 
dreamy tulip
I love the logs that Ket does (very helpful references)
Nah, I remember everything by memory
cinder delta
My memory is fucking shite lol
inland sky
stuff gets a bit fuzzy over time, even if you got the general idea, easy to miss things
dreamy tulip
Ever seen that guy who flew over NYC and painted the entire city by memory?
inland sky
yes, but that's not a common thing
dreamy tulip
That's the way that my mind works (but only with things that I give emphasis to remember).
I forget things at times that aren't important to me haha
cinder delta
Eidetic memories are good
inland sky
still far from perfect

If I had a good memory I would be a super genius instead of a regular genius. Good side is...everything is new! Like buy a few good movies and you're set for life...eat the same thing every day (wow I never thought that would taste so good)....yeah it's almost that bad.
dreamy tulip
Jasondude, Hi!
Haven't seen you in awhile... hope all is well
With movies? That's the best lol
It would be like enjoying it for the first time all over again
Haha
steel crypt
Oh yeah, everything is cool. Life's got it's good and bad, but all good. Just been busy with work. I run a company, and do a lot of things, so it can get tough sometimes. (Got some folks that depends on me).
I have an extremely selective memory.
I can remember the texture and color of the blanket I woke up on in mid...July of 1979 as a baby (4 years old) and about an hour after that is very vivid. But I also have a secretary that is available 24 hours because there is no way I can remember what all happened at work today. I walk into rooms and have no idea why I am there (normal right?) but with me I literally carry a notepad and write my thoughts down constantly especially what I need to do. (And I'm talking like ...get a drink....or eat before 5pm ..etc.) Sorry for the wall -o- text...been a while.
dreamy tulip
I'm glad to hear that you have been well. Hopefully things will get even better!
No worries, It was an interesting read. Haha
My mind kinda works like Sherlock's mind.
Preminition, insight, deductive reasoning, analysis, intuition, seeing through things from more than one perspective (often an actual person's perspective next to me or by role playing a person's perspective that could actually potentially occur in real life, if they were present during that particular matter, all in my mind), while also keeping the full context of the matter intact in relevancy the reality of the matter in truth.... and also weighing all of the details in-between both perspectives in my mind logically, and then coming to a logical resolve...
steel crypt
I have been watching your stuff, just not a lot of time to do it. But I do pop in to check how people are doing.
dreamy tulip
This gift also helps me to figure out things within modding the files as I've been able to do the same within the files to figure out things for myself. Deductive reasoning. It's all by memory without taking notes.
By role playing scenarios in my mind of why HG may have done this or done that or did not do this or that
I think it's a mild aspergers thing
Awesome man
Glad to know that you pop up here and there
steel crypt
Yeah, I think the same kinda way, but without the good memory. I used to play some chess, and there was this dude named Fischer that thought like us too. It helped him to whip ass in chess. Do you also OCD (some people call it) some things to death? Like you really have to conclude something to feel at ease?
steel crypt
*Sorry for jacking the modding channel folks...hahahha pardon me :)
Yeah I have met some of us before, but we seem to be rare.
dreamy tulip
Awesome man, well it was nice talking again.
Have you seen this mod video?

no, i don't think so. Will take a look now. The work I have seen is cool as hell. I'm gonna have to try your mod (it usually not my type of thing), it just looks too cool. As soon as I get a few minutes, I'm gonna download your latest version. I have a low-med spec PC, so maybe I can help debug/report stuff to you based on my PC if that helps. Okay off to give the kid dinner. Stay cool dude!

@steel crypt That would be lovely, if you were able to tell me how much performance has improved with the mod for a low-medium end PC. Thanks a bunch man
Enjoy your dinner
supple wadi
Lol, so it's no wonder my first run at updating this old mod didn't work. There are way more specific adjustments to it than the original modder let on. Having to compare between 1.24, mod, and current 1.3 files to make sure I'm not gutting/adjusting stuff they couldn't possibly have known about back when they made it.
supple wadi
After a brief intermission, think I may have finished updating it a bit ago...Giving it a check on my laptop now. ๐ค
dreamy tulip
What are you updating?
dreamy tulip
Oh okay
Yeah, comparing the modded PF shader with the vanilla PF shader, and also with the 1.38 shader is the way to go
I'm thinking that's what you did right?
supple wadi
This one actually operated off of the Pipelines files, which is really slick, since it leaves shaders and such open for other tweaks.
supple wadi
That's what I had to go over a bit ago. Lots of interesting changes from 1.24 to 1.3, and some off the walls tweaks from Ahad.
dreamy tulip
Yeah
Sadly some things are not do-able anymore
I'm afraid that project potatoe won't work
Alike the internal resolution multipier
I think the required data needed to do it has been moved elsewhere
But please let me know if it works for you
Might give me the motivation to go back and do some internal res mods
Like I used to here and there
supple wadi
I drilled it down to the core files that come standard with the Pipelines folder, set aside this weird ScreenView file they had in there. I suspect that might be what you're referring to.
supple wadi
No, that's one of them, but there was nothing quite like res tweaking that I saw in there.
supple wadi
I'm guessing around Foundation?
dreamy tulip
My mod is currently modifying the pipeliensdeffered, and pipelinewaterreflection
In 2016
Pre-foundation
supple wadi
Ah, okay. Project Potato was updated for Path Finder, so it may have tweaked that once in the past, but worked around it later.
dreamy tulip
Sweet, so does that mod lower the res?
If it can be lowered, I assume it can be upscaled still
supple wadi
It adjusts some scale values here & there, but I'm not sure what res you're specifically referring to.
dreamy tulip
It used to be possible to increase the internal resolution of the game, within the game engine
w/o needing to adjust your screen res
Sort of like the internal resolution multiplier inside of the dolphin emulator
Where users can upscale the game's internal resolution to even 8K
The old 2016 method done through the pipelinesdeffered was rendered useless
After updates
But now that I think of it....
I have an interest in taking another look because
Maybe it's possible again
supple wadi
Well atm my NMS is sitting at a white screen, lol. But it always takes it a bit longer to load in on my laptop.
dreamy tulip
Ah, I see. One issue that has occured when tampering with it is a white screen
or extremely dark effects
or weird visual glitches
Sometimes slide show effects
supple wadi
Hrrm. Gonna clear my shadercache & check again.
dreamy tulip
Awesome
supple wadi
Lol, remember thinking we needed to do that for every other thing just in case?
dreamy tulip
Yeah, now I rarely ever do it tbh
supple wadi
Same here. But with this kinda thing? Probably worth it.
dreamy tulip
I honestly don't understand it's purpose
Removing the cache
I mean
Or haven't seen a need for it yet
supple wadi
I think it's to make the game recompile/recompute the shaders, in the event you've adjusted something to do with shaders.
dreamy tulip
Fair enough
supple wadi
Although in most circumstances it seems able to account for those without issue.
dreamy tulip
Yeah, like... say you compile an error
and it gets cached
If it's a serious error
Removing it would help
I take
naive blaze
any optimising mods I can get to run NMS on my potato laptop?
dreamy tulip
This glowing cube removal file that I made might help
You can also download the No Fade mod by Lo2k
naive blaze
wasn't there a project potato mod, that heavily optimises?
supple wadi
There was, but it's outdated.
dreamy tulip
There used to be but isn't updated yet
supple wadi
I'm working on trying to restore it.
naive blaze
is that your mod, leon?
supple wadi
No, it's Ahad's, but they said it'd be okay if I restored it.
naive blaze
aight, cool
supple wadi
I mostly just have a couple goofaround mods, like a buildable fireworks launcher & a cockpit removal mod for taking videos.
I have some other sidestuff in the works that I've been toying with, but nothin' to my standards for putting out yet.
naive blaze
aight
supple wadi
_< Just getting white screened now.
dreamy tulip
Oh darn lol
supple wadi
Will have to review things again. >_> Oh well.
dreamy tulip
I think that someone tried to update it formerly
supple wadi
I had it sort of working earlier, where it would properly display the surroundings for a brief time, but then parts of the environment just totally dissolved into white.

I overlooked a few small spots because of the different organization of the files.
dreamy tulip
Ah, alright
supple wadi
Even after telling myself to go back over them. >_>
I feel like the current version of the file is better organized, but makes translating things from previous disorganization a tad more difficult.

_< Still not having much luck gutting the pipeline. They really embedded some of these glossy little effects.
civic scaffold
@dreamy tulip sorry for bugging but have you found like the base code and stuff? (for the 100% material recover)
(Base I mean like, base you build, not the engine lol)
dreamy tulip
@civic scaffold Hi, sorry I haven't really been around today. I haven't looked into it yet either. I'll let you know whenever I do
supple wadi
Having to more finely cut apart the deferred file to try to identify what it is I'm removing/changing that's breaking it.
supple wadi
Making headway now that I'm not just torching the file! ๐
I turned off the lights! ๐
dreamy tulip
Oooh nice!
supple wadi
Giving my cache a quick clear to verify if I've narrowed it down to the core set of files necessary to enable its effects.
I think I'll also add a couple comments on certain spots for myself & anyone else that I may pass this on to to maintain.
supple wadi
lolwhat. So I went back through this trying to pin down what I disabled to make it so you couldn't tell what biome a planet might be from space, and right as I thought I found it, I enabled something else just to see what it was doing anyway...
To comment its functionality and all that, and it enabled seeing the planets' approximate biomes from orbit. O_o
Niice, was right about the other method working.
supple wadi
๐ค These variants are so very minuscule in overall effect I'm not sure if they're even worth keeping about.
thorn scarab
would be really cool to see planet biomes from space
i see a nice looking green planet thinking it could be lush and turns out not to be
narrow zinc
i think that'd require lots of memory
narrow zinc
idk i can't even computers
tawny peak
haha
narrow zinc
i think if the shape of seas, biomes, islands stayed the same and their resolution would just get bigger and bigger as you descend into a planet's atmosphere, it could work. This way you could see the highest mountains sticking out as you come down
that would look awesome
but idk if that's viable
and if it wouldn't cause terrible lags
idk like i said, i can't computers
so I'm just guessing
supple wadi
Tbh they've been gradually improving planet terrain visibility from space across the updates, but yeah, it's a challenge to figure out the optimal level of detail to render.
narrow zinc
I'm sure this game will look unrecognizably better in like 1.8 or so
look at subnautica for example
it looks amazing now
thorn scarab
so what's the limitation of an accurate representation of a planet from space? Hardware or the engine?
lime mesa
engine
Or so I believe
Since I remember them saying something about it in the GDC talks
It was either Sean Murray or Paul
thorn scarab
i see
i think if PC was the primary platform to build on with its potential hardware capabilities, especially those with high end PCs could see some sort of planet preload into the memory to give an accurate representation of not just colour but other features too.
narrow zinc
ye
supple wadi
It's not just color. When you see blue splotches, that appears to be an attempt at representing bodies of water, or in the event that it's not water, depressions along the surface that near the depths of water. Not the best way to go about it, obviously, but just seems to be the way it goes.
You can see that this is the case pretty well with island planets, where the splotches of green/red/gray/brown are representing the landmasses.
thorn scarab
Yes I think 'water' worlds are the only ones that look near enough the same from space
narrow zinc
@dreamy tulip I got a new multi-tool and the target icon looks weird...
only on terrain manipulator though
dreamy tulip
@narrow zinc Can you send a screenshot of your mods folder?
supple wadi
I just got permission from another old low end PC modder to integrate/maintain their work in mine. โค
Hoping to see some more significant changes/differences with their work.
dreamy tulip
How did updating the potatoe mod go?
supple wadi
It's going well! I'm about to get started checking on the other variations of it Ahad included with Project Potato (5 more to check) to see if they're worth retaining or not. Once I'm done with that, I'm going to compare them against Yendorion's work and see if there's any further improvements to make based on their changes.
I think Ahad already integrated their changes from back then, but I prefer to be thorough. Besides that, I also wanted to give proper credit for some of the early modders for their work. Ahad removed/reduced shadows/volumetric lighting/depth of field effects, while Yendorion disabled bilinear filtering & supersampling. Possibly more than that, but I'll know after I check. Regardless, I felt they both deserved credit, so did the due diligence to reach out to both.
dreamy tulip
That's great, and the right thing to do. :)
Well... I'm glad that it's going well. I'm working on a few things on my behalf... here and there, but currently repairing another HDD on the side.
One of the HDD's on my system wouldn't initiliaze, in which I have important data on it from some of my non nms related projects
supple wadi
O_o You have the worst luck with those.
thin valve
What if you modded freighters to be landable
Like on very flat areas
That would be pretty cool
dreamy tulip
I've made them warp into systems, skid along mountains, and crashd into planets before
And I can make them pilotable/landable
thin valve
Nice
dreamy tulip
However, it would function as a dropship (not a walk in freighter), but theoretically it could be possible to add that function
Krem and I may work on a freighter
When there's time
dreamy tulip
I think it would be awesome too
Thanks for sharing
This was the only kind of land on this planet:
thin valve
Rip
warm thistle
That's crazy
supple wadi
Well this is new. ๐ค This variation made the screen black.
supple wadi
Hmm. Some values I've tweaked that work for the lower end might need to be put back to defaults for these last few variations to work properly.
supple wadi
Well, I'm currently at a bit of a loss as to those last variations aren't working anymore. Once I had the core part of the mod working that I was interested in, the rest of what I've been doing is testing the value tweaks between the variations.
So there shouldn't be any substantial change from one variation to the other to cause screen blackout. ๐ค
Going the shadercache clear route to be entirely certain it's not getting caught on something there.
supple wadi
...Yeah, I'm at a loss as to what's breaking these. The only thing I haven't tried is just out & out restoring the very things that were disabled to acquire performance improvements to begin with.
(which isn't how the old version handled this, hence why I'm not doing it.)
supple wadi
Ooh, I really like how Yendorion went about their mod. It's not as far reaching in some respects as Ahad's, but it's very targeted in what it adjusts.

@supple wadi what will be the minimum specs for NMS with potato mod?
also will it be compatible with rayrods mod?
supple wadi
RaY mentioned having adjusted some pipelines files before, but I can't recall if their current work does so or not. If my work adjusts the same files as theirs, they may conflict. However, considering that the bulk of their work is in various other files, you might be able to cut those out (or RaY could separate them out as optional), and so there would be no conflict whatsoever.
supple wadi
@naive blaze The previous minimum spec with this work, according to Ahad, was on a laptop with an i5 1.7 ghz processor & GeForce 820M graphics card. My laptop was a step above this with an i5 2.5 ghz processor & Radeon HD 7670M with 1 gb VRAM, so I only know that it can improve performance a ton on that specification.
naive blaze
good to know
supple wadi
Oof, so I thought I liked Yendorion's work, and I still think I do, but it's somethin' to update. Due to the fragility of the deferred file, I'm basically having to change a line, pack, check, reverse change or continue forward pending results.
supple wadi
lol so it took me approx. 35 iterations to restore one of these, as the file's a lot more finicky than I guess it might've been when the original mod was made.
some of those were dumb oversights on my end, and others are just trying to restore it 1 to 1 with the original.
End result is roughly the same tho, so despite not being exactly the same, it's good enough for my standards.
dreamy tulip
@lime mesa Nice. I see you found the rare crystal biome.
lime mesa
I was in awe, entire planet was full of them. All different colors.
I doubt I'll be seeing anything like it again. ๐
dreamy tulip
@supple wadi There would need to be a compatibility fix, for someone to use the potato mod. The overhaul mods the pipelinedeferred but it's an essential file, that another component depends on (used to prevent certain visual glitches)
@worn bison Thanks
And @lime mesa Nice shot(s)

Doesn't it kill you sitting to game after an 8 hour shift? It wrecks me. I just wanna lie on the sofa like a lazy man that I am hah
lime mesa
Yeah sometimes it does, I'm not gunna lie. Sometimes I don't start work until early evening cause I end up playing game before work.
When it's that way around, it can be a problem to motivated.
worn bison
Hah. I'm slightly more fortunate in that I work set hours so don't have to self motivate! Console gaming isn't too bad, and some exclusives are great. But the mods man... These screens are all AMAZING

Just finished
supple wadi
Hmm. I don't know to what degree we could make a compatibility mod then. The changes may be too at odds to work out.
dreamy tulip
It's okay, I believe that the overhaul doesn't need a performance optization anymore, as it has it's own
I'm sure that the project potato mod will help a lot of people in general
A few people said something similar to this with the overhaul:
https://i.imgur.com/nXOD1qv.png
supple wadi
Yeah. I mean my restoration work is far more aimed at those with way lower end machines.
dreamy tulip
Yeah, absolutely
The thing is (it kinda confuses me), I've been hearing that from people with lower end rigs
supple wadi
Also thinking I may rename the mod to make it more clearly distinct from the original.
dreamy tulip
After recent adjustments, that it's performing better than vanilla for them
Nice
Have been studying python today (for the first time)
Just wrote a script
supple wadi
Python's good stuff. Really helpful for streamlining tedious tasks, but that goes for about any programming language.
dreamy tulip
Agreed! I'm likely going to be uses it a lot more for different things personally
tawny peak
yeah, that is odd
you made the game run... better?
by adding stuff to it?
hahaha
if only that was how my body would work. getting healthier the more i eat junk food hahaha
dreamy tulip
But I still want to dive deeper into some other languages that I've been studying... also heavily studying C#, C++, asm, and hex right now
supple wadi
Some of it's adding but a bunch is also rearranging a lotta stuff. I'd be poking for which biomes are giving decent performance like that to nail down what it is.
dreamy tulip
The recent performance fixes were actually glsl related
Instead of being biome related
supple wadi
The screenshot above though, prior to that or...?
dreamy tulip
In the past my mod had pretty much vanilla performance (if not slightly better, as a few beta testers on low end rigs were reporting the same a long time ago), but I had set a few values too high in a few shaders down the line. After making adjustments and extra adjustments it fixed that issue and complimented performance overall. However, the biomes are different now as they can be dense or non dense, lots of ways... so, perhaps rearranging like you said could have a part in it, in comparison to vanilla.
As all NMS versions are existing in the mod + more
Think it's time to get back into IDA
As much as I hated it in the past when working with GTA V
supple wadi
Lol
IDA being expensive as hell puts me off from it. x64dbg isn't the same but it's the next best thing I know to work with.
dreamy tulip
Yeah, IDA is expensive.... overkill imo.
I've never used x64dbg yet
Have you much?
supple wadi
Just enough to know it can sorta help digging through the exe.
dreamy tulip
Ah nice
supple wadi
I adapted Monkey's IDA guide to it awhile back.
dreamy tulip
I was using IDA in the past for bypassing online checks within GTA PS3's eboot.bins back when I was creating my mod menu in assembly
I hated it
Also had to do a bit of ppc
I learned enough to do what I wanted to do, and then moved on from ida and worked on stuff elsewhere
But it's been so long
Likely forgot
supple wadi
I keep meaning to learn a small bit of Assembly and C# to help out Monkey but they're both a bit much.
dreamy tulip
Ah
Cool
My current focus is C#
I started writing, began studying it from the ground up the other day (lots more to study/learn/apply)
I'll keep at it until I become well seasoned with it and start writing applications
And see where it takes on from there
Then more C++
As I still want to get more familiar with it and create more .dll based mods
And I might create my own injector
Just in case the other messes up, since my friend disappeared and it's closed source
Haven't you been studying python? @ Gmr_Leon
I think I saw you tweet about it before
supple wadi
Yup. I threw something together to make a mod of mine easier to make whenever I get around to it.
dreamy tulip
Awesome ๐

Anywho, got Yendorion's work basically 98% back up and running. Going through some more tests to see how many paks I should put together.

dreamy tulip
Just finished overhauling/expanding all space and on-planet ship AI activity (while still keeping vanilla space activity.) I prefer to add content to the game instead of replacing most of the time.
Never stopped working on the next major BETA update (Except to sleep ofc). Currently a bit over a week into it so far. Lots of new stuff is coming.
Today, I also fixed that commonly reported missing base issue
And I also expanded features in-between multiplayer bases
One of the things that I did yesterday was integrate half a million new, procedural, fog and heightfog colors each for every time of day separately, and also space separately Day, night, dusk, and space have half a million each.
Still a lot more on my list to do... and there's a couple hundred other things I did in the last few days that I haven't written
Just finished these off the list. There's two 4 other portions todo before releasing. There might be some other things that I add. Not sure yet (Lots of typos as I roughly wrote that quickly). I'll keep the rest of the list private for the time being.

Thanks a lot! If you're on PC and ever have a mod request/if possible... I'll make it for you.

I have no requests but i was wondering if it is possible to make more variety in the crashed freighters? Ive only encountered one model so far

I did so recently. ๐
tawny peak
actually yeah, is the pre release crashed freighter model acessible?
dreamy tulip
Already in the mod ๐
tawny peak
genius
still latch
What really? How the hell did i miss that haha
tawny peak
๐
still latch
Nwm then. All my wishes are fullfilled xD
dreamy tulip
The way that I prefer to do things iis to add content to the game, rather than replace. Also, to make sure that it's not overaturated. :)
The vanilla content still exists, and there's still exploration incentive.
There's actually a particular biome with E3 grass and crashed E3 freighters
That I made based off of the 2013 first trailer
And there's others with procedural ones, just rare
And the vanilla ones exist
And there's some other stuff going on
And pilotable E3 freighters.
tawny peak
so not so much an overhaul then? ๐
dreamy tulip
There's multiple overhauls in the overhaul. ๐
The next BETA will be like the v10 overhaul, overhauled.
tawny peak
i suppose, but your core philosophy isn't an overhaul, not that it even bloody matters
since overhaul could also just be referring to the like 500 billion changes you've made to the game
dreamy tulip
A few examples of that would be a visual overhaul. Done partly by my friend Lo2k and also by me.
There's thousands of visual changes. A bunch shader based. More of them are non shader based.
There's a terrain overhaul
Infinite terrain variety
A lot of things are replaced
There's an ecology overhaul
Lots of other overhauls
And core game replacements
However, when it comes to various things where it's optional to keep both vanilla, and the new. I'd prefer both.
One example of that would be...
Every former version of NMS that has ever existed is ported and integated into the mod.
Where, it could've been possible to replace the AR biomes/content ofc
But the AR content is unique in it's own way (and should be kept imo) โค
So there's a bunch of everything.
dreamy tulip
Saw this guy talking about the overhaul mod.
https://youtu.be/aw18MUPFtoM?t=416
In regard to what was mentioned about PS4 modding, it's definetely possible. It would require a specific ps4 version at this current time though.
cyan oracle
@supple wadi I think if the Tesla is uncapsuled in space, it's going to smash to bits when it finally reaches the surface to mars.. and it's really sick to see the rockets detach and return themselves to a landing pad.. as for space cars, I could make things like 2015 Hill Valley and put flying cars everywhere.. but aside from the BTTF and R&M cars, I don't think any others are practical.. plus if I made a flying Tesla, I'd probably need to loop in the David Bowie's song on an audio trigger..
tawny peak
the tesla isn't actually going to land on mars
its doing a solar orbit, which will pass over mars
so it might in fact stay up there forever
unkempt island
^^^
supple wadi
Heh true enough Krem. Thought I'd see what ya thought of just the Tesla in particular.
cyan oracle
so wait, I'm confused.. are they putting it into orbit around Mars or slingshooting it around the sun and to/past Mars? All I remember reading is it's being sent to Mars; implying that it was going to be touching down on the surface.. I already knew falcon heavy wasn't going to be descending, but I thought the tesla was going to at least.. TBH, I kinda thought Musk was sending himself transportation for 2024..
unkempt island
it's just gonna be in an orbit that passes by earth's and mars' orbit rings
cyan oracle
wow, so they're not even actually sending it to mars, they're essentially creating a vehicular asteroid?
unkempt island
think of it more as a space time capsule
supple wadi
buuut yeah, it's pretty wasteful

yea, it Musk be nice to have that money to blow

Wtf, imagine if the tesla actually was transportation for 2024
Casually driving a fucking car over the surface of Mars

That could kill Richard Branson's hopes and dreams..
marsh aurora
Still having this as a mod would be very cool
Also with a cockpit of that car
With the DON'T PANIC screen holding the information that's normally on the middle screen
cyan oracle
IDK if that's going to happen.. I can't find a free model.. they're $99~$129 on avg..
cyan oracle
not that well..
I can fix/manipulate.. but creating is overwhelming for me.. so far I've only created very simple models..
not to mention finding the model premade, converting and doing whatever is necessary is much quicker than making the model myself.. if I were to make each ship myself, I'd be lucky to have a dozen ships finished between NMS updates..

But, in regard to subnautica etc...
Nah man
That stuff was already possible/in there
But it's immersion focused
tawny peak
yeah, twas a joke. but more underwater stuff is always a good thing
dreamy tulip
Yep, there is more underwater stuff, and various improvements for the purpose of aesthetic
I added collision to all underwater props as one thing, and re-adjusted them... so the sensible objects get destroyed by the exocraft
And others sensibly collide into you on foot
And certain do not, like bush's and seaweed strands ofc
As vanilla doesn't really handle that well I think
dreamy tulip
If you notice in that video there, my exocraft is going through some of the rocks and flora
That was prior to changing it

how deep can the oceans go?
have you developed like deep ocean biomes below the more reefy surface level stuff?

They are always different
But can be very deep
Sometimes not

@lime mesa I'm using my overhaul mod, which is all my work (with a few extra contributed components from a few other awesome modders) mentioned on the page.
The pictures that I've been sharing are a few random snaps from an update I'm gradually working on... but if you'd like to install the last uploaded version... you can here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/497/
dreamy tulip
Making/improving the overhaul mod has been very time consuming since early 2016... I've joyfully invested almost of all my time into it.
Often, from the moment that I wake up, until the moment that I go to sleep... I am studying Hello Game's files (often with repetition to check for things that I may have missed) and then creatively applying/implementing that knowledge which I've obtained from that studying in mulitiple ways.
I find working on the mod so extensively a lot of fun, but it actually has almost literally, physically, "killed me" several times. My mind has a tendency to lock in on things that I work on until I'm fully finished with it, but this is an endless fan project... that I enjoy. So, it's like a cycle. I've also lost a lot of sleep and dealt with extreme panic attacks and shaking on rare occasion. I've also suffered sickness, pain in my eyes from working with the screen for so long and bloody noses from focusing too hard for too long.
To get a good idea of how much I'm obssessively working on this (in which the next BETA) will be even larger... I just assembled all extra components from a few awesome modders and unpacked it to assess the file size. It amounted up to 110MB. However, the scale and size of my components amount up to 1.41GB.
I'm excited to keep working on it. It's a lot of fun and the in-game outcome is what excites/motivates me. ๐

@lime mesa, er...You don't have to pay for an account to download mods. It may take a moment, but after clicking manual download, it should pop up with a window to Open the file with, or Save File options.

I recommend the drive link in this case actually, as it's faster than NexusMods.

I never got around to it loading up with it yet.
If it works, then I'll let people know to download his mod if they'd like more of a boost
However, the next BETA which is immersion focused will also highly be performance focused and I'll have my own adjustments too
I gave one of my friends a test BETA and he said that performance is like vanilla for him now
And this is with my own stuff

@dreamy tulip bless your soul lmao, how much does it hinder performance? cause i only have 1050 ti lol
dreamy tulip
The mod reportedly runs well on mid end rigs... but I suspect that in some areas it can be quite GPU taxing (depending on how dense it is).
The next version will address most, if not all of that.
From what I've heard, on that version is that it runs close to vanilla actually.
And someone even said "better than vanilla"

supple wadi
@echo oxide Sorry, was playing another game. Since I'm busy experimenting with a bunch of stuff myself, I haven't really tried my stuff with RaY's work, but as they point out, there's at least the one file that conflicts. I'm betting it's also where the bulk of the changes that improve performance with my work come into play.
lime mesa
@dreamy tulip will i have to start a new save file for the mods to take action?
supple wadi
Shouldn't need to HGoetz, but you'll probably want to save in a station.
dreamy tulip
Yeah @supple wadi There are some visual adjustments in that file on my end. It might not be noticeable though if removed/overwritten, but I'll give it a test soon
After I finish these python templates
supple wadi
Tbh depending on the nature of the changes it shouldn't break anything, just rework it so it looks downgraded enough to squeeze out some better performance, lol
dreamy tulip
That's great
Need to fix the error on this line
lol
Also, another one of my HDD's died last night
smh
Just added all E3 sky colors, and space sky colors
And all other pre release space sky colors, and sky colors
And created millions of pallettes

For each separate time of day including space.
I also added the space from the IGN footage system
From here:

tawny peak
haha those freighters tho
dreamy tulip
Yeah, they warped into the biome and flew by ๐
Just did a bit of math
So, it's more varied that I initially thought
I programmed something that wrote millions of lines for me. Therefore, the daytime sky colors, the dusk sky colors, the nighttime sky colors, and the space sky colors are more varied than ever. With 40*500,000 procedural height fog and fog color possibilities. Resulting in 20 million procedural combinations. I also imported all of the E3 skies and space skies, and all pre-release skies and pre-release space skies like ign footage skies for example.
narrow zinc
are there unused creature sounds too? @dreamy tulip
because they're pretty repetitive in vanilla
dreamy tulip
It's possible, but I think there might be unused creature audio actually
Not sure yet.
But if you look at that broll footage
That my friend Elca uploaded of ign footage awhile back
There is different creature audio
This audio is still present in the rc1 version of NMS on the bluray when you delete all the updates
I'm guessing it's either a sfx, or that it's an audio file
not used anymore, or removed

have you mucked around with gravity much?

I'm not sure if anyone's confirmed encountering another player while using mods such as Rayrod's Overhaul.. but, TMK, you can still upload and share discoveries.. most other mods don't even effect the game that deeply
however, each mod may have some limitation to it as far as MP goes.. like I have a mod to grow thamium, platinum, zinc, kelp bulb, cave marrow (or w/e the new antrium is called), radnox, omegon, aquaspheres and vortex cubes.. if someone visits my base without the same mod, they'll just see empty planters.. if they do have the same mod, however, they can harvest my plants just the same as if they were regular plants..
@dreamy tulip do you know if anyone's encountered another player while using your overhaul mod?

Alrighty, thank you!
got the game and the mod, I have this icon on the right side of my screen and got no clue what it is

Okay, yeah, that's somethin' wonky with Ray's work then.
They'll probably pop in here at some point, I imagine.
It might be something they've already fixed in the next version of the mod that they've been working away on.
hollow kraken
Yeah, I've been looking through the txt files you get with the mod but I don't think it's something I can change as a result of me screwing up the installation or something, but thanks anyways
hopefully it'll be fixed soon
supple wadi
No problem, if one knew where to look, it probably wouldn't be too much of a problem to fix oneself, but Ray's got a buncha stuff going on with that, so figuring that out is...Yeah, a bit much.

@cyan oracle Hey, yeah I've encountered other people before. There was actually a time that I fell asleep, and someone found me. They also weren't using any mod.
There have also been other times that I've found other people using the mod and the voice chat servers connected.
@hollow kraken Hi! That's really bizarre. Do you have any other pictures of that issue?
dreamy tulip
Cool, what texture settings are you playing on?
dreamy tulip
Also... I read that you are using only files from my overhaul, but would you mind sending a screenshot of your MODS folder?
I would like to see the combination of modular, external, overhaul optional/mods that you might be using.
Thanks
And also the dates and stuff on the files
Shown on the side, if possible

dreamy tulip
Thanks. Can you send your TKGRAPHICSETTINGS.MXML file No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS file from binaries>settings ?
dreamy tulip
Yep, cool
That's really bizarre. So, I'm looking @ your mods folder. That's the latest uploaded version?
From the official mod page*
Just to be sure
hollow kraken
downloaded from nexus
dreamy tulip
I'm going to inbox you something that should help, moment
visual shard
cyan oracle
Is it possible the icon could be another program's overlay and not something to do with the mod at all (similar to my Xsplit program in this screenshot)?
nevermind, I see in the reddit post that you do have the same issue w/o the mod installed.. so I would troubleshoot background programs and find that overlaying application..
hollow kraken
I can't think of anything that could do that, I don't have it any other games
and even without mod and fully cleared shader cache
even when starting up the game this circle haunts me
i fgirued it out
jesus christ
apparently it was an overlay from a program called "Nahimic 2"
who would have thought
supple wadi
O_o
warm thistle
That's strange man, were you able to play NMS at any point without that icon onscreen? Or was it something that just showed up once you downloaded the overhaul? Can't say I've seen that before.
inland sky
he figured it out ๐
dreamy tulip
Just had to reinstall windows again
My Windows OS on my SSD got corrupt somehow
This is like the 5'th windows install in the past 3 months lol
Also my other HDD failed (a different one)
clever adder
๐ค have you had them all for a long time ?
dreamy tulip
The HDD's yeah, they were all Seagates. I've been told that they aren't good HDD's

dreamy tulip
If you use the optional expanded ai ships .pak then they can function as AI.
Without that file, it's only accessable via the "StarShip Swapper" in the basebuild menu in the "Starship Swapper: (Non Lore)" section undernearth the "Starship Swapper: (Lore Only)" section.
clever adder
๐ค yeah seagate got sued for one of their 3tb hdds
dreamy tulip
Oh wow
Yeah, all my Seagates failed xD
Like 5 of them
My Toshiba HDD still works
So I'm just using that alongside my ssd
unkempt island
nervously looks at external seagate being used for backup
clever adder
toshiba and western digital are the ones that are supposed to last a long time ๐ค
worn bison
Even WD ive had bad experiences with. Toshiba have always been good to me
dreamy tulip
SeaGate's look enticing because you can get really large drives for good prices
But down the line...
I'm thinking it might not end up so well
Crazy how 5 of em died out
worn bison
Yeah :/ it's just not worth it. Cost is one thing but reliability is the most important. The amount of work I've lost with bad hdds
lime mesa
So which file do i extract and put into my mods folder?
for the overhaul?
It says to drag it all in
just all the contents and drag it in?
cyan oracle
SeaGates aren't that bad.. but I'd prefer WD.. IMO, SeaGates and Toshiba HDDs are very comparable.. and tbh, I've had 4 SATA drives for ~8 years and the Western Digital died before either of the two seagates..
hard drive temps can play a significant impact
cyan oracle
you extracted the full archive to the mods folder.. you only need to extract zNo Man's Sky - RaYRoD's Overhaul (v10).pak
lime mesa
ohhhh the bottom one?
cyan oracle
yup.. and any additional mods you want to tailor the game to your play preference
consult the text documentation for further instructions
lime mesa
okay ty!
cyan oracle
the additional mods are found in the "Optional Mods" and "Extra" folders
clever adder
i think rayrod said you can keep your save but if you're on a planet your ship might be floating
cyan oracle
if you use the same save, I'd recommend saving in a space station/freighter before installing the mod..
lime mesa
so whats in the normal overhaul?
