Yeah. Because you cant see planets when you're in space. So they dont exist

Ill add that to my list "mod out all the planets"

That actually could be an interesting challenge mode lol like a "deep space" challenge

I think if galaxy map was pretty much empty, with no real choice to travel to, it'd be kinda interesting

like just couple of stars, where you really starting to think where to go according to race, economy, conflicts and etc

hearty wasp Mar 28, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

That can be done

#

But that wouldn't change much imo since there's already so few variety of NPC interactions and missions to do even if you do find a system with em

#

Maybe I should start making mission mods now that people are giving up on current version and waiting for next update

Mission mods?

#

Like new types of mission? That’d be really cool

yeah it'd be less cool when it crashes your game on save

I want the galaxy map to show new stars only as I get "in range". Then they will be forever mapped. Like...mapping it as I go. Maybe range is determined by current warp range.

#

It's a thing I've been noticing with games lately, can't pin it down but something about gunning for realism (which isn't necessarily what RaY's been doing, just higher fidelity generally) has had me noticing everything looks visually noisy & hard to parse.

It's not even like reality, which is detailed as fuck yet still much more readable to me than games' attempts at emulating it

#

wat

#

Stars can be seen in space...

#

The only reason they arent captured in space photos is cause of exposure...

#

What kind of logic would it be that we can see stars on the surface ((through atmosphere distortion)) but not in space lol.

#

Stars are clearly visible in space. Actually, we can see them better from space than through our thick atmosphere. That’s why we keep sending telescopes there.

The reason they are not visible in photos has a lot more to do with photography than with astronomy.

Stars are very dim and the light reflected by the Earth and the Moon is just so much brighter. To take good pictures in space you need to have a high shutter speed and a very short exposure, which means our planet and satellite are clearly visible but the stars often can't be seen.

Hello, i need help on fixing a bug on my WIP mod. Now, i have ported Atlas Rises' color palettes for grass to Visions, but im getting white grass sprites wherever the secondary grass color should be.
This is how the problem looks like: https://imgur.com/a/nA6zPTO
Do anyone know how to solve this issue?

hushed bronze Mar 29, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

I may know- (maybe)

#

The top of the colors file has grass colors, the very bottom has GrassAlt

#

From what Ive seen so far every planet uses corresponding copies of these two colors (IE : if it use color # 43 it will also use altcolor #43) so making a single color palette should be as simple as matching the colors @desert trellis

#

Probably not though, it doesnt really explain the white at all

desert trellis Mar 29, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

@hushed bronze
So, i have the BASECOLORPALETTES.MBIN and BIOMEPALETTES.MBIN, so which one has the secondary?
And if i understood you correctly, i don't want to have single palette, but rather multicolor grass, just like in pre-next

#

I just want the white sprites to match the ground color

hushed bronze Mar 29, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

No i mean the alt is in the bottom of the same file, 20,000 lines down

#

Still though Im not too sure what the white is about, maybe one of your files is not in modern format?

#

Better help can probably be fiund here :

desert trellis Mar 29, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

Also, if its important, the white grass appears only on the secondary

#

Primary is correct

smoky wing Mar 29, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

There's a lot of new palette entries post-Next, did you just copy all the AR ones over all the Visions ones?

hushed bronze Mar 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

I would guess maybe you tried to copy the old version color file flat out and maybe its missing the alt section? The alt seems to be affecting the ground color so that doesnt seem likely either

smoky wing Mar 29, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

lol, great minds

desert trellis Mar 29, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

@smoky wing Yeah, i did so.
@hushed bronze I just tried adding the LUSHTILETYPES.MBIN, the white sprites disappeared, but the color also changed

hushed bronze Mar 29, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

You gotta read these files, man

#

The majority of them are written with enough plain english to understand what theyre about

smoky wing Mar 29, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

Yeah, so like Exosolar was getting at too, if you copy the AR entries over make sure you don't delete the new ones added after Next. See if that'll work.

desert trellis Mar 29, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

MBINcompiler is giving an error when i try to decompile them

#

@smoky wing Sure, ill try this out

hushed bronze Mar 29, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

What I do if I wanna copy things, I usually open up the modern version as the mod basis, then open the version whose effects Im trying to get, and if Im blanket-copy, I take specific portions and paste into the NEW version's file, rather than trying to use old school files outright

#

That sort of thing can also avoid scattered effects you didnt want like screwing up all the rock shades or something

#

to be frank I did not care for supercolorful prenext rock, just looked f***ing wrong to me

his immersion mod never got "released"

Back to foundation is probably the only terrain mod that I like

#

and it's really good too

hushed bronze Mar 30, 2019, 8:18 AM

I find that DE and Redmas both are very reckless in what they do. Some worlds come out great, but most are just randomized trainwrecks

lime mesa Mar 30, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

oh yeah

#

it was the same with rayrods in immersion

#

It was just so

#

Like

#

There were good planets

#

but the ships looked funky

#

there were way too many particles on planets

#

dust particles

#

and the tree textures were so large that they looked strange

#

like the normal trees weren't made to be enlarged by that much

#

no textures were

#

and it just looked weird

#

it also messed up collisions with a lot of things

#

and colours never felt right

#

It is the same with DE and Redmas's overhaul too

#

My only problem is that rays work is just like DE and redmas but he over-exaggerates his work and makes it sound like the second coming of jesus

#

he also makes it into a word salad

#

also he banned me for asking questions about his mod on his discord

leaden laurel Mar 31, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

@hushed bronze recording game content also drops the FPS.

#

So I guess it might look slightly better on her end without recording. But yeah extra stuff for any system to render in, so there will be a very slight performance hit.

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2019, 10:21 AM

#

Well I was referring to the difference between her fps looking at trees and her FPS as she panned down to the grass

#

So I'm going to bed moments from now but here's my idea for the future of Grass Fix (which would have to be renamed if it expands in function)

First the simple part - running around making sure there arent any serious issues with the standard fix. I am aware of The occasional patch of missing grass and have almost totally eliminated that issue (It comes down to the fine balance between using more grass and not using too much which makes the game stop placing it and you get big square gaps)

Then, I want to totally change up the megaexotics' lesser flora. RN they're all the same, and I want to theme them toward the thing theyre giant version of, instead. The planet with supersized heat world stuff? Use lesser props that also come from heat (or arid) and not basic lush. The planets with the giant seaweed? Seaflopr flora.... not basic lush

#

Rock planet gets lots of rocks and no grass at all like a detailed megalithic dead planet with an atmosphere

#

In stock they all have this shabby, half-assed horrid grass you've all seen, and one way or another I think they should all be flush with grass or devoid of it tbh

leaden laurel Mar 31, 2019, 10:27 AM

@hushed bronze ahh I see, sorry did not look at her video, my bad. But what you are doing is a God send. Planets look sexy again. I am still on your V2 pre published mod, should I upgrade to the nexusmods one?

@hushed bronze You might try density settings and play with them to get extra fps. Also, the types of trees....the ones with a lot of smaller detailed leaves.,. eat fps. Same with the same type of bushes. The other planet types don't have them so there won't be as much issue with mega. I would personally try play with density on the non slope areas because it would be harder to tell the difference. But just saying to get some fps if you are trying to.

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Well unfortunately the gap between glitches from density spawning too much grass and leaving carved bare zones (arou.d 0.18 / 0.6), and the grass being too sparse to look good, isn't as wide as you might hope. (0.11 / 0.4)

#

I still caught broken spaces appearing at 0.18

#

So far though, my current version hasn't shown any glitch spaces so I'm hoping I've just about got that wrapped up

#

Im not saying your idea isn't correct, just that by the time I actually save any frames vs. the currently uploaded grass mod, the grass looks crappy again, though the flat vs slope idea, I can try that but my range is pretty tight

I had one planet where the colors were all pretty normal lushy colors and even most rock colors were normalish, but the mountains were hard Cyan

@hushed bronze I have a question regarding your mod for grass correction

#

Do you think you could merge it with Back to Foundation's asset modules? These mods both modify the same files

leaden laurel Apr 1, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

@lime mesa first make a copy of the game in a separate directory, unpack the game (I completely forgot how, modded last in 2016), get a grep application and search in the unpacked directory for what you want to mod. Like if you want to mod jetpack search for jetpack, and it will tell you which files contains the word jetpack. Once you get the hang of it all it's quite easy.

#

But yeah the wiki is probably the best place I guess.

You also get a modding tool on nexusmods I think.

@desert trellis BTF Assets already has a similar feature, and also I havent been able to open the BtF's own files. That said, BtF Assets' less-refined grass fix is what inspired me to make mine in the first place.

To be more accurate I suspect BtF just straight ripped off whatever the grass settings were traditionally which is why grass wasnt broken before Next

Found the night water definition in gcwaterglobals.global, but it's just white there. So I'm guessing HG fixed it to be affected by lighting, but that doesn't seem to be applied to the new colors I added :/

hushed bronze Apr 2, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

Maybe hit the A number which theoretically is alpha

#

alpha in some apps is transparency

#

also even if it is just white, 1.1.1, you could drop to grey or dark grey like 0.3,0.3,0.3

#

But I think If you have transparency control that should cut it

For example this first one im working on (first one I found in order to test properly) I'm pushing out all the "common" resources which unclude all these standardized plants n shit, and asserting mostly Barren and Scorched type assets instead

#

Also in the case of Scorched and Rock I mean to totally erase grass like you see there

#

And in the others, they get full grass (though I think I migh de-grass radioactive too? I dunno yet

Half-baked grass suits nothing

I always found RaYRoD's stuff to be a mixed bag... some planets are real gems, while others a haphazard mishmosh. That video above from 11:04 on is a nice example of when things go right. It's funny how it incorporates so many features that made it into Next, but is still strongly Atlas Rises style visuals. Man, if Hello Games could reintroduce more of that style & variety back into the game I'd be so much happier with it.

I have hopes of making the two modern Lush types distinct in the future - I wanna make Lush 1 (with the tall grass, use generally brighter colors, as well as oldschool trees n stuff, while Lush 2 (New style with the shortgrass) I want to use all new-school assets pretty much as-is but use more cold "alpine" ish colors as well as figuring out how to swap out its superheated rain weather for the former freezing rain

Basically, two distinct styles, one more Tropical, one more Alpine / Highlands / Northern

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

I've thought of that kind of thing myself, probably a perfect use of subbiomes. The idea could even eventually be extended to other types of biomes to create more varieties of those as well. More power to you if you can get something like that started!

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 10:58 PM

Well It's an Idea I had based mainly on the fact that it uses existing biomes, which makes it within my reach as a non-coder type

Lol, true. And of course we're all off on our own tangents too. Like that's definitely something I'd be interested in, but right now I've gotten myself fixated on this AR retexture thing that'll prolly end up nowhere.

Any of that lend to the ability to provide textures from outside NMS?

(Need to throw together a pic for this)

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

Yeah for models that should be doable, I think I've found the tools needed for that. Terrain is something else... the format they use is strange - the photoshop plugins can read the files, but can't seem to save them back into any compatible format.

#

The game had no problem still loading the AR terrain textures (I assume they're the same format), but I couldn't actually edit them successfully.

You see this green sub-grass texture

or w/e color the grass is

#

What I want (desperately neeeeed)....

#

is a way to control that

#

its near lod spawns that texture at slopes way steeper than it should

#

I want it to terminate at the same slopes that its lower LODs do

#

Any ideas how that might be accomplished?

Hrmm, honestly no idea about that. 😦

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 11:10 PM

Well, even so, It would be cool if you kept an eye out while working textures

#

Because for what I personally have in mind, that there is the only idea I have that involves editing textures or their behavior in anyway

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 11:11 PM

I do find the LOD blending pretty weird sometimes. I know what you're talking about, you see some rocky outcrop in the distance, then you get like 30 feet from it and it suddenly sprouts bright grass.

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

That damn characteristic LOD's itself right over grey stone. looks stupid as hell 100% of the time, lol

#

Because grass color suddenly appears over top of beautifully textured rock and looks like shit, no motter whether or not grass actually will spawn there

#

in other words, changing the grass behavior seems to have no effect on the subgrass behavior

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 11:12 PM

Right, and it wouldn't be so bad it if looked grassy from the distance

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 11:12 PM

right

#

The stark shift from dark stonbe to blazing orange is the part that looks worst

also that subgrass looks like crap anyway its an under-texture, not really meant to ever be bare

its why I made the grass Correction in the first place

#

that subtexture is not meant to see the light of day its an LoD tool really

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 11:14 PM

I'll keep an eye out, I agree that always has me shaking my head. But I really dunno where that would be found. I tend to think of the texture like it's moss.

Oh, right I remember seeing that. On rewatch it looks like a different texture. I think he's just recoloring the model texture to match the grass

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 11:17 PM

Its possible it just used something similar looking and tied it to grass color but still interesting

Because it still looks like the ground texture in that scene

at least the lower half matches the local ground

smoky wing Apr 7, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

Yeah but it's still technically different. Models use a completely different texture setup than the terrain, so even if it's the same, it would be two separate image files.

#

I also think that's an old video from Atlas Rises. It's funny how many little things in that made it into Next, like 3rd person, volumetric clouds, etc.

hushed bronze Apr 7, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

But the fact that he managed to target that atexture at all is a hint, thats all I'm saying

obsidian tree Apr 8, 2019, 1:31 AM

#

only slightly following the above, but FYI, there is a boolean value in the files which specify the levelone objects in a biome which is 'match ground colour'. This is used and is implemented through the shaders (UBERFRAGMENT IIRC)

#

not sure if the above information is at all useful, but I hadn't seen it mentioned above and it may lead to a fruitful avenue of investigation

smoky wing Apr 8, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

True, it's also settable on individual items in the object spawn configs. I once had trouble getting a specific rock to change color and eventually found the problem was it used that setting.

hushed bronze Apr 8, 2019, 1:51 AM

#

@obsidian tree The term "levelone" what does it mean exactly?

#

Also, thanks for the tip

hushed bronze Apr 8, 2019, 2:10 AM

Its not transparency

📎 20190407200819_1.jpg

#

If you got a sharp eye, you will notice that certain secondary grass bits take a different color instead of being color-matched like in A=1

#

Though I dont know exactly how that effect works

smoky wing Apr 8, 2019, 2:15 AM

#

weird

obsidian tree Apr 8, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

@hushed bronze umm, not exactly sure the best way to explain what the term itself means, but levelone objects are ones that spawn on planets that aren't buildings etc. So some kinds of rocks, random checks, that kind of thing. It's just a way for HG to spawn stuff on a planet outside of the building table I guess

#

Also, what is the context on that A parameter?

hushed bronze Apr 8, 2019, 6:17 AM

#

RGBA

#

in all the color palettes

#

So I fucked with A, to see what it does

#

turned out it was not something I would ever have guessed

#

@obsidian tree

obsidian tree Apr 8, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

well it depends on the palette

#

if you want to know what it does, you could look at the shaders...

smoky wing Apr 8, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

I don't think I've ever seen any value other than 1 in the [biome]colourpalettes files. So I wonder if the weird results are from trying to do something that's normally considered undefined.

Amazing

No more blue trees happygek

rugged cloud Apr 10, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

yeah....HG really upped the blue in the cold biomes

#

it was gross

#

I have a LUT I made that cuts it down some but it needs more tweaking to look nice

steel crypt Apr 10, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Most if not all the blue can be controlled by the snow biome or base color palettes. If you don't want to cut down on blue in say building parts or whatever. The "snow" palette is used for most of that. Then there will be "plant" and "leaf" palettes. Just FYI

rugged cloud Apr 10, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

interesting thanks ... I will look at it later

#

like a little blue I understood cause cold but they took it way overboard

steel crypt Apr 10, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

If it helps at all, DUD'S SKY - colors has a frozen mod in it that does that. You can see what I changed in there.

rugged cloud Apr 10, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

ok will check it out thanks again 😃

#

I was planning on trying out duds sky after I finished redoing some stuff I am working on cause overhaul mods are always nice

smoky wing Apr 10, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

A lot of the blue is also the sky. The game uses the upper sky color for shadow color, and the ONE frozen sky is very blue.

#

It's like everything is ultra blue in Frozen now. Sky, snow palette colors, and screen filter.

hushed bronze Apr 10, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

Are you sure, because post next every night on every planet is the same blue

#

Or maybe you're talking about a mod

smoky wing Apr 11, 2019, 3:13 AM

#

Since Atlas Rises, night sky is defined separately from the other skies, in gcskyglobals. And it's very blue even though the game replaces the color with stars.

rugged cloud Apr 11, 2019, 3:57 AM

#

well the LUT I use does help A LOT

#

its still has some slight blue but overall its nicer .... cloud shadows bring back the strong blue hue though

Quick question: for this freighter on the NMS seeds sight, the first one is the home seed and the second is the model seed right?

You could always just screw around with them a little and find out 😄

keen scaffold Apr 12, 2019, 4:48 AM

I mean I did that with my old freighter and it just made it all black and messed up, and putting in new seeds didn't do anything haha

#

So I'd rather avoid that

hushed bronze Apr 12, 2019, 4:50 AM

Its undoable though isnt it? Just put the original numbers back in

keen scaffold Apr 12, 2019, 4:52 AM

Save-editing freighter seed may be a bad idea. I know pre-Next if you changed it to a different model, it would mess up your base, make it inaccessible.

those purples you showed----they create sections of light on the surface of the planet. it's weird how the grass effect makes it look like the planet is glowing..unless there's what used to be antrium.. or marrow bulbs over there

#

the distance rendering must be what it is, it's not at a high enough level of detail for draw distance. that's what is making it look like that

that is pretty, up close though

hearty wasp Apr 14, 2019, 10:40 PM

ruins in game is MODELS\PLANETS\BIOMES\COMMON\BUILDINGS\RUINS\PROCRUINS

you can just kitbash em if you ain't gonna need whole new parts tbh

since all of em are references

gusty fulcrum Apr 14, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

What do you mean by that?

hearty wasp Apr 14, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

you don't need to use blender if you can just use references in the scenes

#

the wiki's got more info on how it works

gusty fulcrum Apr 14, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Oh ok, thanks! My original Idea was to use blender since that's where I'm good, but I'll take a look at the wiki

hearty wasp Apr 14, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

greatest advantage for using references is that you don't need to modify or regenerate the geometry

#

and you can do it straight in notepad++

gusty fulcrum Apr 14, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

I may try to make something from scratch using reference images and textures from ingame. I've had a look and tbh I think I'd do a better job with just making something

hearty wasp Apr 14, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

if you ain't tearing a small specific part of a model out from a scene it still holds

#

that way you'd only be making your custom parts and mixing them with the vanilla scenes

#

saves you time on the work in the long run

Good luck! 😃

#

Two heads up: Theres a bunch of different rock sections unless you start deleting them, and, anytime you add or subtract them, it changes up the spawns and sometimes can totally reshuffle what is appearing because each of those things is actually directing to a set of choices for rocks rather than a specific rock (usually)

ain't no major changes since 1.75

thin viper Apr 15, 2019, 7:08 PM

@hushed lichenit works for 1.77

And for resources,there is a resource spawner that you have to download separately

That will spawn vanilla resources on most planets as per type

Enhanced version is the old one

You'll want to click the menu dots in the upper right hand corner, then click pinned messages

My audio program doesnt load the proc gen tracks

#

They are handled differently by the game to other tracks

Those are nice lights, we definitely need more styles. Just better lights in general, especially some with greater range. I'm sure they gave us only puny lights for performance reasons, but just give us the better lights and slap a warning on using too many in one place. It's crazy inconsistent how we can build those tall spotlights, but unlike the bright spawned ones ours barely light up at all.

Oh well then @smoky wing try this one on for size 😄

#

📎 Light.pak

#

It cranks the lamppost style lights power way up

#

Its an experimental thing I threw together a while ago because Im nyctalopic and cant deal lol

#

Heh thanks. I remember an older mod that did similar. I wish it'd be in-game though.

#

They still put out pure white so its not aesthetically great yet but thats because its a toss-together lol

#

Im thinking if I go to seriously offer that mod The white lights will get a soft-white color change and then Ill get the colored lights boosted in power too

#

The ol mod I totally ripped off to learn my own only cranked the luminence, didnt change the falloff, which I did

#

I switchd falloff from quadratic to linear

smoky wing Apr 17, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

Ahh, yeah. I think being able to tweak falloff is key, otherwise you just blowout everything. A single dim light with a long linear falloff can be enough to light a large area. Then the normal smaller quadratic lights can be more decorative.

#

Ive been thinking I might take it too far and actually add items (method is known though I havent learned it yet) so that each light is available in game in both modes

#

Also i think it might be possible to add the on/off feature tot he colored lights. Dunno

Ahh, like the interactive lights? That'd be kinda cool. This is where this kind of mod-based customization bugs me though. Like I'd love to get all fancy with a modded base, but then only people with the mod would be able to see it.

#

True but then, Just bully them into installing your mods 😄

I love the stuff I'm seeing with Eucli-ea, but it's a shame not everyone will see it.

hushed bronze Apr 17, 2019, 11:55 PM

everyone who matters will 😄

#

I think you should just make bases either for or not for the mods, Include a little code at the end of the name like "Cherry Creek M" for Modded or something

#

"Orange Paradise V"

smoky wing Apr 18, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

Hrmm... It should be possible to use a mod to build with the inexplicably-removed parts (infrastructure), and everyone should still be able to see those. They're in the game, and people can see them when they're restored on legacy bases.

#

Similar to how you can remove base restrictions and use underwater parts anywhere, and everyone sees those.

I've 2 lights already with different models so I dunno if I'll add more models

#

I may add different colour lights but that'll be layer

OK so here's what I want, no idea if possible, difficult, w/e
