that's why I made sand lighter. It seemed way too dark.
hushed bronze
It might be aesthetically a simple fix to make one set of light colors and slap the same set on the other two lists lol
can't be more coordinated that that! π
Sand also has crumbling ROCK textures built in now
its not even sand anymore wtf

Damn I looked at earlier versions of night sky stuff and it's not referenced any different. Further evidence that the palette choice is controlled in the exe. That's it, I'm calling Sean.
hushed bronze
DO IT
and while you got him on the line, ask him why they deleted grass
And made pseudo grass texturing render at wildly different slopes at different LODs
supple wadi
i would love to be a fly on the wall at HG for some of these bonkers decisions
hushed bronze
Honestly I still think one or two lazy employees are taking shortcuts without telling anyone about it
supple wadi
would it be wrong to get people to mass report reduced color palettes and various other changes as bugs/issues π€
steel crypt
They could have left it as it was and simply remove the colors they didn't want in the palette. Like they did the day sky colors and frozen sky colors. It's easier to do.
Report it and just say for some reason you have a bug and are only getting 2 new colors with the Visions update.
supple wadi
lol
steel crypt
We need to gather all color mods, zip them, send it and say "pick something here for the update". Free palette work, have at it.
smoky wing
Even that frozen sky limitation since AR seems weird to me. I mean I assume they wanted colder color palettes, but just looking at older version screenshots, it was so much more interesting with more sky colors.
hushed bronze
Just send them some kind of old fashioned color wheel that artists used in centuries past
supple wadi
Feel like in a lot of ways they've been gradually trying to reclaim control over the game's generation in the most obnoxious ways possible
steel crypt
Right, blue naturally looks cold to us, but variety (within reason) is king in a game like this. That is the reason to keep moving.
supple wadi
Which is also why there should be more variety in the navigation of these different biomes
As it is you treat them more or less all the same
steel crypt
Yes, it would be nice to have many more sub biomes.
supple wadi
I should ask for like a weekend & several days off from work, two days to chill then the week to dive headfirst into working on that stuff
I was working on some ideas for that sort of thing shortly before Next dropped
smoky wing
Yeah. I can understand keeping one biome per-planet for gameplay reasons - that actually forces the player to explore (what a novel idea) more planets. But that doesn't mean there can't be more regional variety within the same biome type on a planet
supple wadi
That's also not what I meant though
steel crypt
I wish dude, I'm the boss, I haven't had a day off...wait I had 1 day off in 5 years.
supple wadi
That could help, sure, but if each biome/region is still being handled essentially the same it doesn't matter how many you have on a planet
great you're flipping between different colored hazard protection bars, whee
steel crypt
lol
supple wadi
yes there's the basic environmental and asset variety to boot, but gameplaywise they're functionally identical
steel crypt
what would you do to change that?
hushed bronze
I've just been cleaning up bits of my UI mod π
steel crypt
I've never really thought about it, that's a good point.
hushed bronze
No screwed up connector bar, unified transparency strangth
ignore the fucked grass that is seconds from deletion π
steel crypt
it looks like you could get caught in it.
hushed bronze
Its also the wrong color whenever you first load it
What are someof your ideas in biome diversity, Leon?
supple wadi
What I'd do to change that is at once simple and extensive, requires reworking a lot of interactions taken for granted, adjusting distribution of some hazards, and balancing out hazards in some different ways for each biome
I'd already laid out some plans for how I'd personally change it, but I hadn't gotten past some work on the scorched biome before Next dropped as I was having some little frustrations on what I'd made being at first too synced up and then not getting the audio effect timing right, etc.
Interestingly enough I think Next ended up introducing some hazard functionality that I'd been after that would better work than what I'd put together, since nothing else existed in the game that worked how I'd wanted
supple wadi
It's honestly stupid simple stuff, the hard part is just about getting it as one wants
Like I could have done what I was doing with the scorched biome without bothering with sound effects, but then it'd just seem like I was being a dick
hushed bronze
?
supple wadi
The overly ambitious stuff would be more in the vein of some other oddball ideas like reworking the entire factions system so that rep had more of a role in things or gutting much of the crafting
hushed bronze
That bastard, he didn't tightly polish the accompanying audio effects"
supple wadi
Nah what I mean is think about a boulder dropping without a shadow to give you an idea of where it was going to fall to move out of the way
That just seems like dickish design in a game
Similar idea to my mind with a hazard appearing without some sort of cue to let you know it was coming

hello peeps. how are you ? been a while, so who hasnt heard of projectaurora and would like some updates?
uneven bone
are there any mods for the current update that add new ships?
tame mica
Thereβs barely any mods that add new things.
They usually use new things or use assets to make new textures.
supple wadi
There were mods for new ships tho
And I think Winder's still working on some for the current version...?
Been busy so haven't kept track of where that was at
cyan oracle
@uneven bone I know @hearty wasp was working on custom ships same as myself.. difference is I think he'll be releasing his work once it's done.. problem is it's not a mod that's easily updateable.. kinda needs to be made all at once.
adding new ships in an update will likely change the ships that players' seeds generate.. unless the update uses all new files and doesn't append anything..
I also know that @hearty wasp 's had to take some personal time away from NMS.. so there's also that hurdle too..
hushed bronze
@uneven bone Hope is not lost! Some of these mods' modders involving assets and ships n stuff are just being hesitant, knowing full well that Vulkan conversion is basically guaranteed and will break everything built around non-vulkan.

Winder's mod adds a bunch of whole-ships, its not like a part diversifier. Still looks like a ton o fun

Are you using fantastic beasts for the flying snakes or you did tweak yourself ? I recognise the bending enable but not the fly. In fantastic beasts i ve enabled the bending but also tweaked the animation to be less shaking and bugy than on vanilla when simply enabled.

@lethal fog These colors are defined somewhere. wouldn't that be better? Didnt you already find that? What are you trying to do?
lethal fog
Hey Exo
basically need to match up each of the in-game resources with the hex codes so I can use them for the web
have the file that Moo pointed me to, just a case of matching up the resource names then extracting the colours and converting to hex... so the screenshot process might actually be quicker I'm thinking
hushed bronze
that could be true but turn less accurate, colors in game aren't reproduced exactly much of the time. Its probably not a real issue for pieces of the UI, though
lethal fog
yeah, the accuracy thing is the bit that would drive me mad... even though post probably won't notice π
happy with how these are looking right now though, I can always come back and add the colours later
heavy merlin
Eh, I can probably generate that list, if you want
lethal fog
If you could it would save me a ton a time, but don't go out of your way... like I say, I can always come back to this bit later π

Guys, i have found something weird
So, in the original Visions LUSHCOLORPALETTES file, it has all the grass colors
And it's marked as "Inactive"
So i changed that to the amount of listed possibilities
And now im getting some Atlas Rises tier color combos
Is that possible that the color nerf was a mistake?
I have tried also running it unmodded, only with my changes, and it works
Could someone try that too?
hushed bronze
Its not a mistake to type "inactive" over something lol
desert trellis
Idk, i thought they may have forgotten or something
steel crypt
@desert trellis It was "Inactive" to force another list to be used. The list being used at that point is in basecolorpalettes.
This doesn't make less colors or anything like that, it simply uses a palette that is also used for other things. You activated the list that is used only for that. Using the number of colors in the list as the header number is not good. The palettes are divided into blocks for a reason. It is a little tricky to explain, but for your case you should probably use "All" instead of a number for what you are trying to do.
desert trellis
Hm, thanks for advice
I still can't understand why they disabled it
It looks simply better
steel crypt
Well, if you mean disabling those colors, I understand what you're saying. If you mean disabling the list, well.....say you have a list of plant colors that you want to be used in toxic biome and scorched. You can have a main list in basecolorpalettes and then you can have an "Inactive" list in the scorched biome file and the toxic biome file for plants, and so the toxic and scorched biome will use the main (basecolorpalettes) file for the list, so that they will share a color palette. The other option being don't "Inactive" the individual biome palette and have two separate palettes for the biomes. Hope I'm making sense there. @desert trellis
@hushed bronze I got a quick question for ya if you have a sec?
hushed bronze
@steel crypt Sure, whats up

Off the top of my head, there are several "rock" colors in the base palette. ?Maybe 5? There are something like 2 for rock objects right? And then the rocksat,rocklight,rockdark are for land texture right? Can't remember and would have to test it all again. Also, you messed with land rock texture colors right? Did you do a "balanced" custom palette or did you ever try mixing the earlier light colors with the new dark colors? @hushed bronze
hushed bronze
All I did with rock, really was some basic testing several months ago, haven't built any palette from them
That said, pretty much every palette is just a list of colors and they all work about the same way
Best way to see the rock colors in play is to find a plateau biome, which gives easy opportunities to see lots of rock at once which is often mixed
steel crypt
Oh crap right, they will be blending them. Is that what you're saying? That makes it way more difficult.
hushed bronze
It does, lol
steel crypt
Okay, might try playing with it. Jeenkies, I might be asking for an ass woopin'

steel crypt
Yeah, right. Alright, let's see what happens here. Ready to load a planet and say "oh hell no"
hushed bronze
when I originally mass-lightened the palette, I just highlighted all the rock palette, and did about 5 replace-alls within selection. 0.4 -> 0.5, then 0.3 -> 0.4, etc
and there you have it, within just a handful of minutes, every rock color went higher by 0.1

hmmm okay, I see your point. Okay, will go mess with it now. Thanks dude!

Sure, best of luck!

So that no mans sky fantasy bugs out
Like the building missions donβt work and the auto pilot is bugged out
But the land scape and animals make it worth it

I ve never had bug with auto pilot and you shoud disable deployable exocraft mod until the awakening building mission is completed like the doc specify it
I do mod as a a hobby, some ppl are just not indulgant
lime mesa
no thing is forcing me to share my mods, as well as i dont force anybody to use them
lime mesa
i put wa too much efforts on those mods to make them as polished as possible, and i think i rather succeded. So it annoys me a lot to read that you think its buged out, because it is not. and it was lot of efforts for this result.
quiet island
And it annoys me that you decide to, instead of calmly assisting the guy, you toot your own horn and attack him.
So, back off of him a bit and actually see if it's something going on instead of "don't use it"
lime mesa
i am not a hotline, and i take any reproach on the mods as a personal attack
quiet island
And I take it as a personal attack when you come at one of my members in that way
lime mesa
u shouldnot

But I do. Could I say the same to you? I work hard on this Discord, as you do on your mod. If someone came to me with a problem, I wouldn't tell them to "don't use it". I'd find out if something is actually wrong.

my only concern is the mods breaking when beyond comes along
cyan oracle
could always just start a new save.. that's the best course of action for a new release anyways.. almost every update they've pushed out has altered/damaged/corrupted players previous save files in one way or another..
but I had a mod called "MorShips" in Atlas that added custom ships to the list of shuttles, fighters, science explorers, haulers and S-Class.. but when NEXT broke the mod, the save files trying to load the custom file paths would CTD.. so I copied the fighter proc and renamed it as each proc file in my mod to create a patch for players to use their old saves.. converting the custom ships from the Atlas mod into Fighters so the players could replace them..
this also made that patch unremovable till players sold off all of their custom ships and reacquired vanilla ships.. otherwise they'd still get CTD as the patch only made the custom ship paths valid for the game to load what looks like fighters..
so in short, a good modder will either update their mod or at least patch it as quick as they can.. I had that patch out within 24hrs of NEXT launching so players could use their old saves if they opted..
and Winder's been pretty good about updating Eucli-ea each rendition of NMS.. even if it is becoming more and more complex..
lime mesa
wouldnt mods ruin the multi player aspect of the game. im not hating on them they are just not my thing.
supple wadi
wouldn't multiplayer ruin mods
ebon onyx
well NMS already have multiplayer π
supple wadi
the simple answer is it depends
depends on the nature of the mod and the multiplayer and whether you like your meal well done
ebon onyx
worrying thing about mods in current multiplayer is that you can use gameplay affecting mods like launch reduction mods and such
ebon onyx
they are still considered cheating because there is zero launch cost mod
ebon onyx
creative is just for testing things
hoary drum
Well they could just make it to where multiplayer has to be turned off in order to use mods
ebon onyx
to do that they need to implement steam workshop support or NMS ID
supple wadi
creative is for true exploration π
ebon onyx
true exploration involves progression too π
supple wadi
progression is best when exploration oriented and not grind oriented
make NMS more metroid-esque damn it!
supple wadi
that's what i've been saying for ages now
ebon onyx
like some creative features like zero launch cost and all stuff costs just credits
supple wadi
one approach is to say fuckit and just add a custom mode where you can tune to your tastes
ebon onyx
wish someone creates mod like that
supple wadi
another is to say fuckit and drop the crafting and some of the survival elements in favor of a more straightforward combat/explore approach
earn/get stuff via finding & figuring out some puzzles or overcoming some challenges, including multitools and starships and freighters
ebon onyx
finding/buying* π
ebon onyx
like ships, ship parts and such
supple wadi
that always ends up just meaning grind
ebon onyx
well good games involves some grind
it gives meaning of achievement
if it becomes too easy there is no meaning to play game
supple wadi
nope
i have both actually bothered to complete and better enjoy more games without grind than with grind
i have started numerous games with grind and completely trailed off from them without a satisfying resolution because nobody got time for dat shit
ebon onyx
simply just reduce credit cost in things
supple wadi
and then it's just an uninteresting path to getting the things
wow i bought a thing
whee
ebon onyx
finding some things like ships and ship parts is another story
ALSO you can't buy gate codes or location of gates π
there is so much more in NMS than grinding

how are mods going to react to the update? Anyone know?
I removed my mods to prepare for the update, but I am curious. Most of the time mods have to be updated depending on the content release
vernal fiber
depends on what you use and what will be updated tbh
if they change flight mechanics or procgen for planets, corresponding mods prlly wont work anymore
dapper venture
I just read the previous conversations which somewhat answered my question
vernal fiber
on the other hand, i use a small mod which "translates" the wealth level of system since multiple updates
also, no need to delete the mods, just put the mod disabler .txt back in the folder
dapper venture
I wonder how that would translate in Beyond with the Online mode
my biggest curiosity will be if mods that make ships more powerful and effective will still work in Online, if someone wanted to pvp with it.. it would make it too easy for them
I'd be so mad if someone blew me up using superpowered mods
vernal fiber
we could already seen that happen, since you can technically already do mods in MP
but since ive never heard someone complain about it, i wouldnt be too worried
dapper venture
haha I know it could happen now.. but I assume Online will be on a larger scale. I guess the universe is a very large place anyway though. What are the chances of actually finding someone like that?
vernal fiber
for me, zero
i think the large majority of people, especially those who mod, play in SP
dapper venture

frozen wraith
@cyan oracle thanks for the info. I'd do it my self if I knew how. I'd cry if I had an updated version of that ship in NEXT
cyan oracle
@lost comet you'll have to use psarc to decompress the .pak files found in the PCBANKS folder.. personally, I use NMS-Modspace to decompress the original (and build the new) .pak files.. you'll also need mbin compiler to decompile the mbin files to a text format you can edit. At that point, it's a matter of looking thru the file and finding the value(s) set for the items you seek. You can also change the values of hardmodetype so survive/permadeath don't yield a smaller amount than normal mode..
Once finished with your edits, save the .exml file (the text file you'll be editing) and then recompile it with mbin compiler and build your new .pak with nms-modspace (or nms modding station if you'd prefer to use that tool)
I'm sure it sounds intimidating because there's a lot involved there.. but getting the tools and figuring them out is probably harder than making the actual edits..

Those biomes in #nms-photomode-gallery are looking brilliant - I just downloaded your NMS Fantasy mod yesterday, phenomenal!
Unfortunately it's not compatible with 'Fixed Lighting 1.4', superseding the correct lighting on the asteroids in space when paired with 'Black Space'.
I've checked the conflicting files with your modular set, and it's the 'GEN_FANTASY_WORLDS...' file that causes the conflict, however when unpacked it doesn't actually modify the same files as 'Fixed Lighting'!
I was hoping you could shed some light on this? @lime mesa

@lime mesa The experimental has swapped to vulkan, and there's no reason to believe that all versions of NMS beyond will be anything but vulkan-based. So it's a pretty safe bet that NMS will be rocking Vulkan going forward

@bronze osprey i have no idea why, do you have more info ?
what sort of conflict do you have ?
@hushed bronze @steel crypt yes i ve moded the fog, but i did it long ago back to alien worlds 3 , if i remeber right
( i did aw3, aw4, then fantasy worlds )
bronze osprey
That's the thing, I'm using NMS-MCD to check for conflicts, but it says there are none between 'True Lighting 1.4' and '_____GEN___FANTASY_WORLDS_by_REDMAS'
However, when I delete the _____GEN___FANTASY_WORLDS_by_REDMAS.pak from my mods folder the issue with the coloured lighting on the asteroids goes away. @lime mesa
True Lighting modifies files in the SHADERS folder, your mod modifies METADATA, MODELS, TEXTUERS and two globals
Lol, those underscores messed up the formatting
lime mesa
@steel crypt you can set it in GSSKYGLOBALS
possible its from the formating, cause the mods clearly doesnt conflict
bronze osprey
Have you taken a look at the Vulkan build yet? @lime mesa
lime mesa
i am running on vulkan
bronze osprey
Okay cool, so I assume your mod is fully compatible then - that appeared to be the case when I tried it earlier today
It seems to be the shaders folder alone that's fully overhauled since the API change.
lime mesa
yes, i eared that ( shaders are not my specialities )
i never mod shaders or sounds
we are lucky to have lo2k and others who are great with shaders
should ask lo2k too about your issue
( the modder of true lightning 1. 4)
bronze osprey
Not sure what he goes by here
bronze osprey
No I mean his name in the server π
lime mesa
@lo2k
bronze osprey
Well damn, apparently Vulkan has completely killed all of his shader mods
Which doesn't surprise me, the entire SHADERS folder has been overhauled - what use to be there doesn't exist anymore and there are also a bunch of new shader files.
The API change really did a number on this.
lime mesa
:/
firsts of the beyond genocide i am afraid
on the other hand, vanilla vulkan is quite good enougth
for the shaders
lime mesa
yes
bronze osprey
Yeah I'm enjoying the performance increase, but...
Shader mods have been made completely impossible
Lo2k has been answering comments and basically confirmed that mods like Black Space will never be possible due to this change in API
lime mesa
ok , quite sad news
if you have nms fantasy you can use the vivid filter mod
that darken space
bronze osprey
Okay so the old shader files have actually be recompiled using SPIR-V (.SPV) which are Vulkan-specific shader modules.
I just have to find a way to open them, edit them and recompile them

winged sandal
Does the model viewer still work?
steel crypt
There is a working version of the model viewer.
lime mesa
woah that's cool
Cool, u think i should release it like that ?
Or try to change colors and effects
lime mesa
It looks good as is, maybe try different colours and see how people like those
Also is it possible if you could do an interstellar warp effect?
I time stamped it
ok, i ll do that. Thx, th at s a good inspiration
winged sandal
@steel crypt where can I find it? all the ones that I find are outdated
supple wadi
@winged sandal pinned in the mod resources channel in the modding discord
buoyant bramble
Really nooby question but, if I mod my NMS can I still play co-op?
cyan oracle
yes, but players with out mods other players are using will not be able to benefit from the other mods the other player has.. both players have to have the same mod in order to enjoy the same change of gameplay..
lime mesa
lime mesa
any modder can pin the link ?
weary magnet
Anyone here know how to change the auto walk keybind via game files? Someone asked me to make a tutorial on it but I have no idea how lol
hearty wasp
textured glass in vulkan is finally working and it's fucking simpler than ever for me to update my custom models to vulkan to a more stanardised format
this is the before btw
cyan oracle
the before looks like a bad path to the material files.. but what's Vulkan?
ah, it's a display api..

stable plaza
Heylo peeps. I'm jumping across from the #help channel to ask if anyone might be able to help me extract a model from NMS?
I only have the PS4 version of the game, but I hear that it's possible to extract models from the pc version. Namely the Gek Helmet. I want to have a crack at printing one, Full size if possible
Can anyone assist?
could possibly stretch to the other special helmets as well if possible?
cyan oracle
@stable plaza not sure if this will print like you want (or at all).. and you'll probably have to fix the size of the model so it prints as big/small as you want it to..
you may have to export the parts as stl's and import them into whatever you would normally print from
hushed bronze
Has anyone here used multiple or all versions of my Grassfix and have an opinion on which one is best?
sweet wagon
Where can I find them?
hushed bronze
Most of them are here

I love it, I really need to play with mods enabled.

I'm just worried I'll take a bigger hit on performance considering its already so bad
stuff like Eucli EA and color mods I already use
hearty wasp
@lime mesa you better do it quick cos Beyond's gonna kill em all again
lime mesa
That's a pretty fair point. I'll setup a new directory tonight.
