No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul: (E3 "YAASRIJ" Biome Recreation) - Work In Progress

This is a work in progress, however, I am gradually recreating an "E3 style" biome that I remember seeing in the portal trailer titled "YAASRIJ" for fun. I've made progress, and I find it a joy... working with your game, as another avid fan of No Man's Sky since 2013.

This is one of the few variants of the "YAASRIJ" biome.

Also yeah, a bit for the Python stuff, as there's at least one or two key parts I missed in the first couple sweeps

Missions are dense & totally the output of some internal tools, lol

dreamy tulip May 8, 2018, 3:12 AM

#

The mission files are long and tedious

#

I've been mapping out certain palette related things

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 3:13 AM

#

The missions are potent all the same. The notification sequence feeds back into the dialog while scanning is sort of an intermediate between the two.

dreamy tulip May 8, 2018, 3:14 AM

#

Hmm, this isn't the missiontable no?

#

Was it in the....

#

scanning folder?

#

SCANEVENTTABLEMISSIONS and SCANEVENTTABLEMISSIONSCREATIVE ?

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 3:15 AM

#

The missions also have a sub-area for scanning events.

#

It's, uh, yeah. It's a whole thing, lol

#

The dialog section is basically a rip of the GcAlienPuzzleTable

dreamy tulip May 8, 2018, 3:16 AM

#

Ah yeah, I can see that as being tedious

#

I'm like, going to have to map out the biomepalette files

#

Which are huge

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

The missions aren't super bad, tbh, but they're definitely awkwardly organized

dreamy tulip May 8, 2018, 3:17 AM

#

Have you looked in them?

#

I'm going to look for which affects the water color

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 3:18 AM

#

Because you kind of have to go the bottom of the mission entry, so roughly speaking the notification sequence, then to dialog, then sort out how the scan event might have fed into either of those two

dreamy tulip May 8, 2018, 3:21 AM

#

Yeah, those kind of files are tedious

#

Where you have to look all over the place lol

Ah okay

kindred tiger May 8, 2018, 5:39 PM

Hey RayRod, I've got a question for you: do you know if it's possible to make a "cracking cockpit" mod? As in, the more physical damage the ship takes, the more cracks form on your starship's canopy? I think that's be really cool, and a nice throwback to Blaster for arcade.

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 7:52 PM

#

@kindred tiger Hmm. I don't think there's a direct way one could do that. It's somewhat tough to build specific things around the player state, and in turn the ship state.

There's not, to the best of my knowledge, a conditional for player health that can then create an effect on a model the player is in. There are obviously conditionals for visor effects, but these are their own thing.

flat bridge May 8, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

Can someone explain the affect generation detail has on no mans sky.

#

Is it referring to draw distances, or how detailed the landscape is?

supple wadi May 8, 2018, 9:27 PM

#

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think that's used by the game anymore. One of the patchnotes mentions no longer using it, as I recall.

flat bridge May 8, 2018, 9:52 PM

#

Oh ok

flat bridge May 9, 2018, 2:13 AM

Rayrod, when you do get the ps4 vanilla version of nms sorted out, would you consider making a pure vanilla mod for the game without the additional bugs/glitches?

So, TemplarGFX (the maker of the old better worlds mod) and I are working on some things. Check out the new lighting shaders (and other stuff) that he made, when combined with the shaders mods that I made, and a few of Lo2k's with his permission that I normally use... with one of my work in progress procedural forest biomes (which happens to be a swampy island right now) in the pics above
It's a work in progress by TemplarGFX and I (the shaders), and needs some tweaking still 😃

No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul: E3 Space to Planet Transition

https://youtu.be/U6alm8OJWng

``Thanks to TemplarGFX, we now have a smoother space to planet transition, alongside various other dramatic visual enhancing shader mods by TemplarGFX, (alongside various other shader mods that I've made), and others that are a courtesy of my other friend Lo2k for the next version of RaYRoD's Overhaul.

Here a few adjustments from today (Not to mention various others that are not written down here)

Modified PBR, IBL, Specular Calculation, HBAO, Subsurface Scattering, light exposure, shadow strength, ambient lighting
Phong shader lighting gradient cut-off lowered for smoother specular and bigger hotspots
BRDF Parameters adjusted for softer less shiny specular lighting calculations
Ambient lighting bounce and direct light influence lowered
Sunlight Scattering samples increased along with thicker atmosphere for visible strong sunlight
Subsurface Scatter power increased and scale decreased with adjustments to falloff ranges
You won't get super bright white-out planets anymore. Even those planets now have better, more full lighting on them. Dark can now be absolute pitch black (like caves at night time!)
The weird shine is gone from like everything, and skin now looks more like skin. Less like plastic.
Base exposure on light was set to 2.0, which basically just white-out'd anything that was already bright
so I dropped it to 1.0 (which is normal) and then upped IBL a bit to compensate
Adjusted the shadow bias for more detailed shadows
Formerly translucent tree leaves, now glow from the other side (only if the sun is behind them on a more direct angle) rather than always glowing
*Flying down to planets is now like the trailers with the transition from space to planets in regard to the generation. It's very, very subtle.``

Sick! How does it look with islands and colors? Sometimes it looks like a planet is full of water, but when I come closer it's not even close to mostly water. And are the islands also more accurate?

dreamy tulip May 9, 2018, 8:13 PM

Sorry, I've been away working on like 13k+ files to increase draw distance, help performance a bit, fix issues with some trees disappearing, structure things better, and also help in the way things spawn... which should also help make way for beaches

will you be making nms xbox mods?

supple wadi May 10, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

lol

#

That depends entirely on how developed the custom firmware scene on each platform is

#

And also just how much RaY wants to put into making mods for all the platforms

#

If the custom firmware scene is sufficiently developed, I imagine they'd be into it tho

#

But at that point, you open your console up to a bunch of different possibilities & options, so ya might not even be all that interested in mods for NMS at that point, lol

dreamy tulip May 10, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

Everything that's possible, and theoretically not possible with NMS... I wanna do it

#

If I can't find a way, make a way, if I don't know how to make a way, I must learn what I need to learn to make a way

#

Is the way that I function haha

But what GMR_Leon said is correct

supple wadi May 10, 2018, 11:28 PM

#

Not to my knowledge. After they made it so that you'd probably have to recompile to .dat it became way less accessible, & I don't know if anyone's made a tool to repack stuff into the .dat for the game to read from

#

I was looking into it for a bit but shifted focus back here

#

You can fortunately still sorta unpack the .dat, but from what I vaguely remember back when you could mod it, it was a bit like running NMS unpacked

dreamy tulip May 10, 2018, 11:35 PM

#

I remember that

#

Like, I Was just getting into modding it

#

But then, it was not working the way it used to

#

Was a bit upset

#

didn't the game also used to be more aimed towards a sandbox style?

supple wadi May 10, 2018, 11:40 PM

#

I mean it still is, more or less, but since they're trying to guide players more they added a much more structured intro

#

You can still jump right into a sandbox/creative mode tho, I believe...Might require the first area/mission's completion

Anyone here happen to have SVG versions of the various icons from the game?

dreamy tulip May 12, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

What does SVG stand for?

gilded saffron May 12, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

scalable vector graphics

#

images that don't have pixels, but definitions of shapes, so they can be scaled inifinietly

#

not for regular pictures, more for logos/designs type of images

dreamy tulip May 12, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

Interesting, thanks!

#

I personally don't have any that I'm aware of. Maybe someone else might

lethal fog May 12, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

I managed to get the DDS files and convert to PNG but converting those to SVG really doesn't work very well

gilded saffron May 12, 2018, 4:20 PM

#

you can probably find pretty close vector icons online

#

and of course there are image-to-vector tools, but obviously they aren't perfect

lethal fog May 12, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

yeah - I try a few others

#

it's mainly the icons for the various races and economies I need

toxic goblet May 12, 2018, 5:10 PM

Get inkscape and trace em. Not the best, but it works.

supple wadi May 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

That looks like something you caused, unless that's one of your custom biomes placing the weird planet assets elsewhere

midnight spruce May 13, 2018, 8:05 PM

Some systems can now be different variations of black, w/o any black space shader mod. While other's can represent pre-release footage, other handcrafted atmospherics that I've done, unmodded atmospherics, and darker than unmodded atmospherics with the overhaul mod.

Not keen on the black space, personally

dreamy tulip May 14, 2018, 2:00 AM

I personally like the black space that HG's had in their code, the brighter space that's used, the darker space (modded variations), and also the new E3 space that I'm doing

So, figured I'd make a mix of everything. 😛

Question, what if NEXT will release before the immersion update is released?

#

Won't you then need to rework almost everything to make it work again?

supple wadi May 14, 2018, 8:39 PM

Yup

#

Which basically means keep your Atlas Rises version backed up if ya wanna keep using your existing mods, at least until we can all update our work for Next

past mulch May 14, 2018, 8:54 PM

#

Good to know beforehand :P

dreamy tulip May 14, 2018, 10:06 PM

#

Some things may just likely require porting to the updated structs (if those files get updated structs)

#

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of things are just minor things to update

#

While some not at all

#

What would likely require the most updating are the globals (where there's not so many of those)

#

It's of little concern to me

#

Apart from that, what I'm working on, at the scale of it is more-so a custom build... and it doesn't really have to revolve around the most recent update. It will always be playable/portable and expanded upon. It's just the beginning (though it's come so far).

#

I am eager to update it though and see what's NEXT.

#

If anything, the biomes might be a pain to update (if the structs get updated)

#

Not because it's difficult or won't be possible per say to port it (given that that compiler's updated)

#

Just a lot for me to do, but It would likely be the amount of work that I do in a day anyway lol

dreamy tulip May 14, 2018, 11:57 PM

#

Yup, but it doesn't have to... as you can tell the water material to not use RGB

#

But, in this case it's shader and texture related work

#

The shader aspect is being worked by TemplarGFX for the overhaul mod (he's working on improving Lo2k's shader that I use with some adjustments that I've made in there before)

#

And also a lot of other shaders that are involved that aren't part of lo2k's shader mod

#

So, it's a combination of things

#

And also certain things that I did, atmospheric related, and weather related

#

And global setting related

Kinda confusing

The tedious/complicated aspect of working with procedural generation is that 1 slight change, can affect anything; anywhere in the universe. Every day I am making hundreds or thousands of changes at a minimum (carefully), but sometimes issues can occur. So, it's crucial that when I make improvements/expand variety, content, new features and other things that I creatively implement on a universal scale in unique, non-oversaturated, believable ways... that I search the planets within the in-game universe for potential issues, rare crashes, etc... or potential things that I may need to adjust or those spots that I may have missed and need to touch up like an artist's painting; so that I may fix them to ensure consistency for the end user. It can also be a lot to handle, with a project of such a large scale... alone, but I've created different methods of narrowing things down. I work off of a pre-written todo list, compiled based off of data mined research from observing pre-release, or general research by studying the files... but sometimes I get ideas/theories on the fly. Sometimes I dream of certain things and I try to manifest it into the game. A lot of things/changes/adjustments are done based off of community feedback. A lot of things are also replications based off of trailers, but the more that I progress, the more that I see potential and start to form ideas of more awesome things that I can do and implement for everyone to provide the best experience that I can offer with this next Overhaul update, prior to the next Overhaul update after this. So, everything is in a constant flux and a constant progression - and usually, one issue might lead to another (or one idea might lead to another) -

#

But I must get the perfect mix, which I'm pretty darn close to. Currently, I am working to expand in-game variety about 20x more than it already is expanded like 1000x more than the old v10 in a high effort way, and working on multi-biome aspects and making the game more beautiful in general, and adjusting certain things still to make way for beaches. I haven't taken a break (except to sleep) for the past 5 months on this update. The way that I see it, I won't do anything else until I get this out publicly. I am a perfectionist. Also, props to HelloGames for creating such an awesome engine.

#

In short, I would love to release it this month, even tomorrow or 5 minutes from now. However, it depends on how quickly I can refine these last touches. (Which I'm like 98% done with)

#

Which is part of the reason why I've been working excessively the past few days... (well, every day) trying to iron out the remainder of issues so that I can officially release it as soon as possible (in the most refined state) as the Immersion Update. 😃

lime mesa May 16, 2018, 12:28 PM

Oh that’s sounds great, and I’m sure all this hard work will pay off as with any perfectionist 😃

@warm thistle Thanks man! Also, thank you for being very helpful with bug reports (same to anyone else who has been a tester)

warm thistle May 16, 2018, 12:45 PM

#

My pleasure homie, I have enjoyed watching this overhaul grow immensely. Even before I had a pc and was playing mainly on ps4 I was in sort of awe at the work you had achieved in your overhaul, as it is everything in the sense of the word, overhaul. Testing it out for the first time was like playing a completely different game. I cant thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of the growth of this mod by being a tester, I def do no regret getting rid of my ps4 and building a computer lol

dreamy tulip May 16, 2018, 12:55 PM

#

I'm glad that you are enjoying it, and I hope to keep improving it! Glad to have ya as a tester bro!

#

Heya. I was wondering if Rayrod or other modders / dataminers could help me confirm something... It there anything in the game that confirms if MAINT_TECH3 refers to the superconductive locks on debris capsules?

supple wadi May 16, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

Looks like that may be right, yeah

#

Aand yeah, my memory was right in the pathing for that

smoky wing May 16, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

If that's the case then that should confirm the cause of the planeter/harvester/portal superconductive lock bug. I recently encountered the bug after doing extensive debris nanite-farming (which of course use those superconductive locks). Fortunately I still had a very recent working save to compare. In the end I was able to fix my save by copying over the entire section of the old working save that appears to track all the device locks/charges. The main difference between them was the addition of ~50 MAINT_TECH3 entries - which obviously matches what I was doing in the game. I suspect the game saves more entries than it can properly load, causing an overflow into unrelated device locks/charges.

#

I'm gonna try to blank out a bunch of those entries on the broken save next (instead of copying the whole section from an old save). If that works then a tool could be created to automate that as a fix for any PC players who have encountered that bug.

#

Just wanted to play it safe - see if I could get some confirmation first, make sure I wasn't accidentally doing something harmful elsewhere.

supple wadi May 16, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

Oof, if that turns out to be what's going on, I'm sure HG would dig that deep dive into the issue

smoky wing May 16, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

Yup, I wanna confirm it first, prolly get to it later tonight, then I'll submit something to zendesk

#

course at this point they've likely already found it and it's in next... they're certainly not gonna patch it before then

#

but still might be helpful info

supple wadi May 16, 2018, 10:14 PM

#

Yeah...Hard to say tho, depends all on what they've prioritized

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:08 AM

#

Templar and I found this global

#

@supple wadi

#

Graphicglobals, the first Unknown handles the game's brightness

#

That actually ended up being my issue

#

I had to deduce what was causing it

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:28 AM

#

Huh. Wait, what issue was that?

#

Also literally this:

<Data template="GcGraphicsGlobals">
  <Property name="Unknown" value="3" />```?

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

Yessir

#

It was set to 5 in the mod

#

3 imo is still overkill bright in vanilla

#

I had to find my sweet spot

Heh, found a little island

#

Wha, so increasing the value decreases the brightness? O_o

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

Nah, the other way around

#

It was too high at the value of 5

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

Oh, lol

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

default = 3

#

lowering it a bit imo helps the game

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

So at some point you flipped it about, lol

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

Templar and I were testing things, but that value was unintentionally left at 5

#

Which made the game overkill bright at times

#

The default is 3

#

But when I set it back to 3, it still felt a bit too bright

#

so I reduced it more than vanilla

#

Until it's not too bright or too dark

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

Hmm, I should check against older versions, has me wondering if maybe that's why some of the snowy planets can be blinding at times

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:53 AM

#

The sweet spot for me was

#

0.6499999762

#

0.65

#

And yes, that is the reason why

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

I think it's also a result of switching the filters

#

The vintage filter cuts back on the brightness a fair amount

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:56 AM

#

I use the default filter

#

always

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

I typically use it, but flip between default/vintage for shots at times

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

Ah, I see

#

Cool

#

Well, I think that value 0.65

#

Would really help

#

I tested on a snow planet

Those two shots are for changes to 1C, or...? Just to be sure

Within the UI globals you can adjust the angle/rotation of the lighting

Which I did a bit

Of the model

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 1:40 AM

It's not quite lens flare, I don't think tho

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 2:03 AM

I don't think it's a lensflare, but more like the strength of the sun rays?

Ah cool

Looks more natural like this

#

I always disliked how pointing up

#

Would do that

#

Caused me to almost always prefer dusk or night

#

lol

#

Overhauled the graphics a bit
No more overkill brightness, better balancing than vanilla
Better inventory model lighting
Light rays from the sun shining on you are no longer overkill and saturated but look more natural
fog colors balanced
a lot more

#

Frozen planets are also no longer blinding

supple wadi May 17, 2018, 2:12 AM

I'm of two minds about the frozen planets being blinding, lol

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 5:17 AM

#

Entire planets made out of sand should be possible, water plants, floating sand balls, planets made out of resources, resource deposit islands, flat planets, cave planets, sand caves, mountains caves, canyons, rough terrain, vanilla terrain, rock ground, two terrain overhauls, new kinds of resource deposits, lots of new shapes, made use of tons of unused slots to add different kinds of variety

Thanks! It's coming along

Trying to polish things up

I had to pull myself back from going too far into that rabbit hole

dreamy tulip May 17, 2018, 5:19 AM

#

So.. right now, the game thinks that the ground there is actually one of the rock multi-biomeish aspects that I did on this planet seed

Oh yeah

That stuff is a rabbit hole lol

#

I tend to go back to it when I have some new ideas

I went off the grid for a few days to work on another major private test commit that's a lot closer to the release of the Immersion Update. (Lots of fixes, crash fixes, graphical fixes, other things... new features, graphical enhancements, some more biomes that I made, polished up former biomes, no longer overkill brightness, a new terrain overhaul, and I re-made the mod from scratch (with all the biomes under a new organized hierarchy to help make updating the mod less tedious on NEXT). Also... entire planets made out of sand should be possible, water worlds, floating sand balls, planets made out of resources, resource deposit islands, flat planets, cave planets, sand caves,resource caves, mountains caves, canyons, rough terrain, vanilla terrain, rocky ground, new kinds of resource deposits, lots of new shapes, and I made use of tons of various unused slots to add different kinds of variety more variety to terrain.

#

That creature looked derpy

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

I'm not sure why the heads aren't properly scaling 🤔

#

That's even a vanilla issue

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

I legit think that's the size of the head xD

#

You think?

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

Yeah, it's been a noted issue by different folks, that the heads just don't scale to match the bodies very well for some reason

#

Although these aren't the super shrunken ones I've seen in some shots, but it's still...Off, which suggests to me that it may still be affecting things indirectly

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

Do you think it's intentional?

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

Smol heads? It might be, but the only reason I could see that being the case is something to do with the animal vocals associated with the head scale maybe

#

But that seems really odd

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 1:21 AM

#

Ah, I see

#

@supple wadi

#

Unknown914 in the graphics globals seems to force texture streaming and remove the fadein

#

When marked to false

#

Trying to find out what messed up the HUD

📎 275850_20180517213422_1.png

#

I'm testing with the other unknown bools in that pic set to false

#

looks so bad lol

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

lol

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

Okay

#

I have a diff perspective about Unknown914

#

<Property name="Unknown914" value="True" />``` seems  to only affect the other bools when set to false, and the other's as "True"
  
```xml
<Property name="Unknown915" value="False" />
  <Property name="Unknown916" value="False" />
  <Property name="Unknown917" value="False" />```

#

So, it seems like Unknown914 might be considered "DisableTextureStreaming"

#

Marked as true by default

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:06 AM

#

See, unless that's just how things spawn in at close range.

#

I'm not sure the stars have ever aligned for something like that to be caused, but it could also be a way to not completely break immersion with very close up creature pop in.

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 5:07 AM

That's a new animation, that currently isn't existent.

flat bridge May 18, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

Hey Rayrod, do you think taking a computer programming course for college would be beneficial, even if I'm not very experienced in that subject to start? Because I'm really interested in that kinda stuff.

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:08 AM

#

Maybe I'm crazy, but at the moment it kinda just looks like a slowed down fade in too. Dunno.

#

@flat bridge depends on what you mean.

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 5:09 AM

#

@mossy marten Did you see the warp animation?

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:09 AM

#

I did.

dreamy tulip May 18, 2018, 5:09 AM

#

@flat bridge I'm not sure, I mean... I have a desire to do so

#

Everything that I do is self taught pretty much

#

With the exception of a few things that some people helped me with

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:10 AM

#

Same here (in being self taught). Rayrod's more experienced than me with modding stuff though (because I don't mod things) so it kind of depends on what you're talking about there. If you mean modding? It could be beneficial, but you have to keep in mind college programming courses (iirc) are a lot more theory than practice.

#

I'm also only in high school though so my advice is prbably shit. 😛

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 5:11 AM

#

It's best to look into some programming documentation & try to scrap together some small things that interest you to make

#

If you want immediate practice, that is

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:12 AM

#

The language I would start with (mostly because it's what I started with, and it works well, and I found it simple to learn and use) would be C#

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 5:12 AM

#

And always feel free to research afield from the documentation, as there's a good chance someone's asked the same stuff on StackOverflow or somethin', lol

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:13 AM

#

Steps to learning to program:

Read the documentation for a bit.
Decide on a small emphasis on small I cannot say this enough. Project.
Work on the project over time, google things you need to do, try to learn from that.
Google your errors, learn what they mean, after awhile they just become second nature and guessing what certain errors mean becomes a walk in the park.

The best way, in my experience so far, to learn programming is simply by trying to program.

flat bridge May 18, 2018, 5:15 AM

#

I'd like to respond more, but I'm doing this on mobile so it's a bit tedious

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:15 AM

#

Not a problem :)

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

Also don't get too tied up in which language to start with, I started with C++ for awhile then moved over to Python just 'cause I found it easier, but each language has its strengths

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:16 AM

#

The second way I learned, aside from just doing things myself, was looking at how others programmed stuff as well. That helps out a ton. Looking at the source code of basic programs (there's tons on github) and just going through it, learning how it does things, helps a lot with figuring things out.

flat bridge May 18, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

Well I've been looking at some C/C++ books online, but I'm assuming guides and documentations like you mentioned would probably be more helpful and less expensive.

mossy marten May 18, 2018, 5:20 AM

#

C/C++ can be kind of rough to start with just because they require a lot of things to be done manually, that other languages don't.

timber lark May 18, 2018, 5:21 AM

#

if you want to learn about Cpp I highly suggest the youtube channels "TheCherno" and "One Lone Coder" they're both really great

flat bridge May 18, 2018, 5:22 AM

#

I'll take a gander

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 5:24 AM

#

But also yeah, definitely keep in mind Lexi's advice above. It's helped me a fair amount to learn a language more simply by doing really little projects more than reading a bunch of docs ever has

flat bridge May 18, 2018, 5:31 AM

how do mods work with this game if it all players technically exist in the same ~~world~~ universe?

supple wadi May 18, 2018, 8:49 PM

#

They basically result in different universes when heavily altering the terrain gen

#

But as long as you use the same mods you can find each other's discoveries

uneven bone May 18, 2018, 11:18 PM

#

huh

#

i feel like it should cause problems if, say, a vanilla player comes across a heavily modded base. wouldn't something break, or would the base not even appear?

#

or like, aren't there ship mods? how would a vanilla player see that?

sacred trout May 19, 2018, 12:07 AM

The modded version requires you to delete the text document that disables mods, and Hello Games might make in a requirement to have that active to play multiplayer. Mods are unofficial at the moment.

that would make sense

#

Oh wait nvm scrolled uo

dreamy tulip May 20, 2018, 3:30 AM

#

@wintry wedge I think the term "scripted" is used very loosely

#

The E3 creatures were procedural creatures, turns out even the static (non additional proc parts) diplo model was made procedural with a particular method by HG's that I've discovered. The E3/pre-release biomes were also procedural biomes in a procedural universe. They were surely demo planets used for showcasing purposes, but it's really in the same realm of logic of a person who would say, force every biome to a lush biome in the game's current standard format. There would still be a lot of variety.

#

I believe that it was another creature model, that's currently not present on the PC build tmk (but likely tucked away on the PS4 build) - as there's references to PS4 only scenes on the PC build.

#

Aaaand, I think I found the cause of all biome crashes with the overhaul mod.

#

With the overhaul mod, generation seems almost seamless now

I think they had proper beaches back in the trailers?
In the game they are not soo cool, or it's just me

dreamy tulip May 20, 2018, 12:26 PM

#

I also assembled the creatures from IGN footage PHLEK and LOUIL, various E3 footages. (and some others creatively)
The thing is... the proc creatures have procedural parts of real'esque looking animals. There's so many. But due to the amount of combinations, we rarely see any pure, natural looking breed. I suppose that alien is okay at times... but having assembled ones, even alien-ish assembled ones from HG's assets makes a world of difference
Lots that I can do with it
They did this stuff for old footages
Forced certain appearances
So, I've been re-assembling them and adding them as extra creatures and restricted them to appropriate biome classes
So, the PHLEK creatures will have a special PHLEK ecology table for the toxic biome
Alongside others I'll do

#

@wintry wedge I figured out how to spawn beaches, now I need to figure out how to level them properly 😛

#

Will attempt to re-model them after New Eridu

@sand sinew Hi! It's not... but I'm working hard on the newest version. I'm calling it "The Immersion Update" 😃

#

It's almost ready.

No Man's Sky: RaYRoD's Overhaul - Bubble Swamp Island

Build a home base anywhere you'd like in RaYRoD's Overhaul mod. I built mine on "Swamp Island". Here is a small photo album of this "procedural" biome that I...

Hence why I stated "playable" (for everyone) version 😛

#

I saw the youtube videos, really cool stuff 😃

#

Thanks... looking forward to releasing it as soon as I iron out the remainder of these last few issues and add in the last few new features on my todo list and also to whip up something else as an alternate upload. :)
About 98% there

Alright, and then the Next update will break everything XD

dreamy tulip May 20, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

I'll gladly update it

#

I see this more-so of a custom build that is portable and will always be playable

#

Working on a modernized E3 build and it's "getting there"

#

But super excited for NEXT

#

It's also a great learning experience on my behalf

#

Time to finish re-doing the ecology

#

Now that I made ruins destructable

#

It's a small thing, but it adds to immersion (imo) and makes the game feel a tad less restricted.

#

Should probably sleep and do it later

#

@dreamy tulip I think you said something about ps4 when you were on a Cobra stream. Can you talk about that or not.

dreamy tulip May 20, 2018, 7:35 PM

#

@lapis copper Hi, I can talk about it perhaps later on today. I'm long overdue on sleep

lapis copper May 20, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

No problem. Go get some sleep.

@wintry wedge The simplest answer is probably the correct answer, which is that as deadlines loomed, HG had to rework a bunch & what they showed before had to be cut as it no longer fit their standards/direction.

#

If we get mp and two people go to the same planet with rayrods, do they see the same thing?

supple wadi May 20, 2018, 11:55 PM

#

If they both have RaY's mod installed, probably?

#

If not, then nah

#

There's a good chance that running mods may simply disable some multiplayer features with Next

#

Simply to preserve some consistency of experience

#

@lime mesa Hi, if two people have the mod installed... they will be able to see each other and the same planet

Thanks

#

Running rayrods overhaul, can I only use portal addresses from bases also in rayrods galaxy?

dreamy tulip May 21, 2018, 3:24 AM

#

@half condor Likely, so.

#

Or maybe not

@dreamy tulip will save from the The Immersion Update be compatible with the current version.
because i want to play it now. and i still have no idea when it's coming out.

side note : did not mean to sound so angry in that last sentence.
i did not know anyother way i say it.

dreamy tulip May 21, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

Hi, there. @gilded basalt Not a problem.... there will a universal reset. The only thing not compatible will likely be the base (but it might work)

gilded basalt May 21, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

so just don't build a base yet got it. btw what are some of the new features in the new update?

dreamy tulip May 21, 2018, 11:29 AM

#

Too many to list honestly, it's like the overhaul v10 made 300x over

#

And polished, and still being polished

#

Two features that I'll name are that there's concept art, fan art, E3, IGN footage, and other pre-release atmospherics, lighting and visuals that have been handcrafed in real-time (on planets and in space)

#

Another would be atmospheric Atlases like the concept arts and old footages

#

and lots of other things

gilded basalt May 21, 2018, 11:31 AM

#

sound cool can't wait.

dreamy tulip May 21, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

A universal reset, as everything (all the biomes have new rules) and generate differently

#

Will also have another terrain overhaul

#

A new HUD like this:

#

There's a newer version of it

#

but that's still recent

Procedural buildings and locations

Draw distance as far as you can see

The game feels almost seamless
