What are some QoL mods that y'all recommend?
QoL mods don't let your character do anything they couldn't already do, or any faster than they already could. QoL mods only alter the interaction between the player and the game, not anything "inside" the game.

dud's sky colors
dreamy tulip
@steel crypt's Sky colors is awesome
I haven't released this yet... but
I improved the game engine's TAA+FXAA
dreamy tulip
I think you have to live in Guildford and work in the office haha
calm sinew
It looks cool so I will bookmark and dl when released

I live nearby, I can go in and pretend to be you if you like ๐

Is thier a better ship flying mod? Instead of you leading it the ship turns with no lag at all?
dreamy tulip
I have a ship mod, unreleased if you'd like it
Oh wait
I didn't add my handling changes, nvm
I did other stuff to it, lemme check the code
It does a lot, but one of the iconic things is...
At this time in the video
You can notice a subtle takeoff transition
Doesn't launch you 20ft in the air
granite sapphire
thats good, makes it more realistic

Oria V โค
granite sapphire
save me getting whiplash too
dreamy tulip
The palettes of Oria V fused into a planetary ring
Getting it prepared for when I do my own take on Oria V again
Going to aim for a better remake of that planet
granite sapphire
looking forward to seeing that

Does anyone remember Balari V?
granite sapphire
not me
dreamy tulip
Here is a variation of Balari V that I did (from IGN footage): https://youtu.be/BHgeIZhAf0g
And here is a take/variation of Yavil from that first IGN video: https://youtu.be/Q46jff0Sd1Y
Hoping to eventually do them all
granite sapphire
such an improvement
dreamy tulip
They will be included in the fan project, alongside other pre-release style planets
And every released build of NMS (Including the PS4 RC1 Biomes ported to PC)
granite sapphire
what I would love to see are multi biomed planets
fluid wing
yeah like something else on the other side of the planet
granite sapphire
yes
dreamy tulip
patent bane
Awesome job RaYRoD, is there any ETA for your release?
dreamy tulip
That was 25 forest biomes in one
peak anvil
Ray, are you perhaps going to add lumincent and neon type of biomes too? like the one screenshot you send that you said wasnt post processed
fluid wing
@patent bane
Working with procedural generation can be extremely tedious and tricky. As Sean once mentioned, one subtle change can break the entire universe. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to test and make sure that what has been added meets a certain standard of consistency.
I am convinced that it is not ideal to announce a release date with procgen work until you are fully satisfied with it. The reason why HelloGames was able to announce release dates with their patches is because they had already finished what they were working on and had been play testing for awhile. The first time they did that, it got delayed.
patent bane
sure, just asking!
fluid wing
dam this looks amazing x)
dreamy tulip
@peak anvil Yes! Excited to do that
granite sapphire
What is the possibilities of having a biome structure similar to Earth though, so that sometimes it is forest, other times desert other times snow desert
dreamy tulip
Here is one
peak anvil
oh my lord, im actually going to cry if i see that lmfao, and is there a way to make space nebulas 3d modelled and rendered? instead of just plain textures (i think they are that atm)
dreamy tulip
Nebula are actually shader based - and shader modding is very experimental for Vulkan at the moment
peak anvil
oh rip
dreamy tulip
If anyone might do that, I imagine GaticusHax would figure it out
calm sinew
Imagine ray tracing shaders for no mans sky
dreamy tulip
I'm not too experienced with glsl
But have been getting better. I did a lot of it for the overhaul
peak anvil
holy frick thatยดd be amazing
calm sinew
Ik MC is getting it
calm sinew
I already play with shaders on MC so I'm not to sure how the community behind it feels like
peak anvil
@dreamy tulip Maybe something like this would be groundbreaking,
https://cdni.rbth.com/rbthmedia/images/2018.12/original/5c07032f15e9f9178a38923c.jpg
granite sapphire
MC ? Minecraft ?
calm sinew
Yea
granite sapphire
okay
peak anvil
also sorry if im asking a lot of questions, is it possible to make a "black light sun", like the light that makes neon colors and paint glow?
peak anvil
granite sapphire
cool place to get ideas, guess that is why you are here ๐
peak anvil
actually i meant like, when the sun shines on the planets, its all glowey and colorful, but when the sun sets, the colors start fading and it becomes dull and only sparsely colored
calm sinew
Are thier any public release shaders for nms?
peak anvil
and it shouldnt be like the sunlight, rather more like a "black light" sun, that makes neon colors shine
calm sinew
Also if you want one color then goto a charred planet in indium system. Legit only color is gray
I was slowly going insane building stuff on it.
peak anvil
i get strong migraines on such planets
granite sapphire
I want to go insane fast so I'll pass
peak anvil
and it feels, like the planet is actually dead
calm sinew
It really does tho but the money is good so what can I say
Oh also is thier a community patch(like borderlands 2 pc)? Or nah
Cause the bugs make me go insane
peak anvil
there has been a "long" lack of patches
either they are making one big one, or are still trying to fix stuff
calm sinew
Ik but the game has been out since 2014. Ya think they would have patched it. But I think when that one spokes person said multiplayer they had to rush to that and forgot about the bugs
And ngl I have only met one staff member that actually has useful info on this server
granite sapphire
they do have an experimental build, but it is only slightly ahead of the release atm
calm sinew
Doea it keep the saves you have now or nah
granite sapphire
yes it does, you can switch between them np
in Steam, go to beta and put the code 3xperimental
but don't hope for much in the way of extra fixes yet, the release is too new
granite sapphire
well it is where they test fixes
calm sinew
True
granite sapphire

question, if i mod this into my game, will other people see the faces and armor or no? https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1168
fluid wing
probably yes because it's using assetts from within the game
lime mesa
Failing that, "Getting Head" has a section stating it does work in multiplayer and does basically the same thing.
heavy merlin
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/853 does similar, I believe, and says... ^ Since this mod is setup so that it uses vanilla scene nodes, IDs and descriptors, every single helmet is visible by every player, even if they don't have the mod installed.
dreamy tulip
The new npc's look cool. I hadn't seen em until now
spare thorn
Hm, the getting head mod page is busted

Nexus Mods as a whole has been busted for me the last couple of days.

for how god awful the water surface graphics are in this game, they sure manage to tank my fps when looking at it. Still havent found any updated major water mods
fluid wing
yh they changed the shader or what ever for water so ever mods for this are limited to like texture stuff it's bleeeh
dreamy tulip
I did manage to partially restore the Atlas Rises water
But I didn't finish it
I had custom water that I made on AR
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/489956243809501184/607101197362397184/LOGO1.PNG?width=1214&height=683

Hopefully, I'll be able to bring that back as an alternative
But I did make improvements to the Beyond water that I haven't released yet
icy glacier
How has Hello Games not hired you to make this mod as an expansion pack lol
I've got a question, for the mods that make things darker at night, are there mods that ... add headlights to exocraft or make them brighter or something like that? Or is there a way to add them that I just haven't found out in game?
I was trying out Dud's colors and thought they were fantastic but they also made it so dang dark at night, and with my exocraft I couldn't see where I was going at all lol
I found some headlight mods but I am not sure if they would work anymore because they're from next update
I guess it wont hurt anything to just plunk them in and try it ๐
Okay they cause ctd that was easy to test /o/
umbral pumice
You guys should collaborate with redmas, i think... This is so dope!
fluid wing
you have a torch on you just use that and problem solved 
icy glacier
You can't use your torch when you're on an exocraft
If you could there wouldn't be an issue at all ;_;
But the exocrafts stop you from turning it on, and if you go into them while the torch is turned on it turns it off u_u
hearty wasp
@spare thorn all my mods are on NMSmods as well
vocal zodiac
yknow i meant to ask - any yall made a mod that just introduces non-harmful weather? like heavy rainstorms and the like
ive always wanted something like that and i might just start learning how to do this stuff if there isn't anything about
hearty wasp
not sure if that can be done in an additive way
maybe only tweak it so that most storms only rises the temperature by a very limited degree
hushed bronze
It could even you consider the exotic weather s to be disposable extra templates because they're really just worthless Humid clones ๐
vocal zodiac
honestly that's really what i'm looking to do
hushed bronze
It would involve a pretty heavy language file mod too though because the game doesn't know to use the correct words if you give alternate weather
vocal zodiac
also maybe modify some of the spacecraft interior ambience generally and in heavy weather and the like
hushed bronze
like in my biome mod from last night, if you land on a lush planet with fire storms, it's gonna show "Occasional Cloudburst" and a storm warning will read "Superheated rain incoming"
it has no idea to use the fire weather's words
vocal zodiac
now that i know that i'm just thinking simple file replacements and config tweaks
hushed bronze
well the weather files themselves can be a bit complex to figure out, but I mean, it should all be very much possible ๐
vocal zodiac
i'm sure if i bash my head into it hard enough i'll figure it out ๐ btw does nms allow loading of loose files or does it all have to be packed?
hushed bronze
All the weather indicator naming and storm approach naming would have to be turned non-descriptive to work with incorrect weather types though like "Extreme Storm Approaching" instead of "Radioactive Supercell Approaching"
But I mean if you just wait a week I'll probably make the mod and already know exactly how to do most of it, because I want to do it for my biome expander
vocal zodiac
couldnt i just make a separate lang file? or is that a big no no NMS crashy time
hushed bronze
That does sound risky.
vocal zodiac
well i could do it as a personal project for myself i suppose, i'm hella bored
hmm
i mean, create an entirely new separate lang file isolated from the other and lift strings from it
hushed bronze
i know what you meant. Possible. could be risky, could be a cakewalk. Im not 100% on how the weather system references the lang file but since its not in the weather parameter file, it could potentially be hidden away from us which means you would likely be stuck just editing the bigger file
spare thorn
@hearty wasp I installed it, can't wait to use it
...I like how all the popular mods on nmsmods are cheat mods, lmao
hushed bronze
Yeah most of them are just hax lol
spare thorn
Oh boy, I'm gonna get murdered for this, but I wanna double check, as long as a mod doesn't introduce NEW assets, it works with mp just fine, correct?
lime mesa
Both yes and no.
hushed bronze
Depends what you're talking about and what sort of desync'ed experiences you're willing to tolerate
Changing out the trees for example, you would just see modded trees where your freind see unmodded trees instead
base parts, you would see a magnificanent base and your freind would only see the pieces that are stock
Terrain gen, you and your freind will be walking around on incredibly different grounds
None of them kill MP but you may be seeing and interacting with wildly different things
hushed bronze

wary elk
Is there a mod that allows me to delete the damn discovery timeline entries?
I have dozens of discoveries from other players that I have just gotten at completely random times
hushed bronze
That's probably not possible
I've even modified and deleted entries straight out of the save data before and they just resync with the server and restore themselves.
wary elk
fuck.
ah well, lengthty bug report sent
its actually ruining a large part of the exploration for me because my list is now chock full of other people's explorations
and the waypoints to these systems are active in the galaxy map which makes it impossible to chart a route back to my own systems

@hushed bronze I just seen your mod on Nexus Mods. I have a question if I use your mod but am playing with a friend who doesn't have a mod will the biomes be completely different for us
hushed bronze
You should get matching biome types and terrain gen, but you will probably have different grass and trees
@frigid tanglei would actually be very interested in having you confirm exactly what does and doesn't align when only one of you plays the mod
rugged cloud
I am just waiting for my prescription lenses on my VR ... then I will play and be annoyed by stuff I want to try and fix again ๐
frigid tangle
@hushed bronze I dont have the mod installed yet so I could join you if you would like
hushed bronze
I'm out studying college stuff lol. But I encourage you to try out the mod. As with nearly all mods, changes it makes will just revert if you uninstall it, and since it doesn't relocate the ground or space stations, there's not even a real risk of putting you through the ground or anything
rugged cloud
Exosolar is trying to fix what annoys him now..... I am thankful he made a way to hide wires cause like a toggle from HG would have been nice ๐

Ugh, yeah really

Could someone make a Unit multiplier or is there already one ? xD

Whats its Name ? ๐ฎ
hushed bronze
Idk but it's pic is a pile of gold coins iirc
hushed bronze
I heard save editor is unstable atm, is that wrong?
cinder cradle
is it 100% Save ?
rugged cloud
well I have not used it yet but goatfungus said he updated it
how would it be unstable is just a gui JSON editor
hushed bronze
I haven't tried it either.
rugged cloud
if anything edit the value manually
heavy merlin
Yes, I've had no problem. You may have problems if you do stuff with the GUI stuff, I don't think that has been updated fully.
cinder cradle
So you can confirm its 100% safe ?
heavy merlin
And just updating units or whatever is probably fine.
hushed bronze
Alright that's several reliable votes for it being safe, it's probably safe
cinder cradle
idc about the save
heavy merlin
Make backups anyway. It makes backups itself too. But backups are always a good idea.
cinder cradle
i care about my pc xD
rugged cloud
it wont destroy your pc
cinder cradle
IF my save deletes its self iam fine xD
heavy merlin
Yeah, only problem would be save messed up.
rugged cloud
at worst crash the game...but then you load the old save
hushed bronze
@cinder cradleworst case, copy backups of your saves that you can recopy if the editor ruins it somehow
heavy merlin
You need java.
rugged cloud
save editor is good if you want to have everything for like testing mods and stuff
cinder cradle
Its Windows Defender so the normal thing every Windows 10 has xD

oh look I can paste pictures in here now. Figures my first one wasnt mod related oops
I had a thought about grass today. Can the sprite texture be an animated gif?
aka can we make hot planets have fire for grass lol
ded
hushed bronze
best i could do with animating grass is to modify the wind effect lol. Would be very difficult and do a poor job of true animation
peak anvil
is it possible to make grass a 3D rendered model?
or would that require a rework in another engine
hushed bronze
Its already so heavy on rendering as a 2d model though lol
modest lintel
@hushed bronze friend of mine was talking about how he wished some of the base building stuff could of been done better... so i sent him to your mod and now he's like a kid at a candy shop
floral shoal
have you guys played KSP?
I want a mod that just in general lets you manipulate the local position of a base part. Ever since the landing pad thing, i've started noticing other slighly off center attachments. It really seems like they just eyeball some of this stuff.
modest lintel
yeah that off centre stuff is kind of annoying
like that power inverter is off center in some cases
torpid yoke
I thought there was supposed to be an "undo" feature in base building ?
floral shoal
never heard of one
modest lintel
you can delete things to refund materials
i know on control its left trigger + right trigger to confirm

torpid yoke
I could have sworn it was in the Beyond update notes, maybe not
fluid wing
oh what when you delete stuff you get the materials back?
modest lintel
when you're base building yeah
fluid wing
does it work with dismantle?
modest lintel
dismantling you get some stuff back
torpid yoke
yes you do.. I just hate when you accidentally delete something that's UNDER something else.. and you can't put it back without destroying half your base
fluid wing
floral shoal
@torpid yoke ive not had trouble putting something under something where I cant see
all possible nearby snaps are displayed
I can imagine it being a problem for weird situations. just never run into it
hearty wasp
@floral shoal use the blender basebuilding plugin
floral shoal
for what
hearty wasp
"manipulate the local position of a base part"
floral shoal
wait is there a way to export and modify your base in blender and import it back?
floral shoal
oh my
hearty wasp
again I'm not sure the save import / export works
floral shoal
says only compatible with an old next version
hearty wasp
make a backup of your save just in case
it won't destroy your computer from you just trying

I saw someone create an array of satellite dishes recently after Beyond if that's anything to go by.

why isn't one of the top mods for this game one that gets rid of this absurdly offensive white speckle crap on water?
hushed bronze
Because nobody can seem to pull it off lol

But I agree, its absolutely disgusting looking
hearty wasp
will take a while for them to get the hang of the new decompile tool

Anyway, Updated the Biome mod with a low-range grass version and a MUCH more comprehensive description. ( iwas so damn tired last night I couldnt be bothered witha lenghty descrip lol
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1185
floral shoal
so that addon is a planet wide biome, or makes planets which have multiple biomes?
hushed bronze
More possible planet-wide biomes
floral shoal
ok. Does it seem possible to have multibiome planets, maybe based on the existing defined planet regions?
hushed bronze
I suspect radmas did it in his. But, when many modders say "sub-biome" they may be referring to a file list terminology literally known as "subbiome" which is just another way of assigning alternate planet-wide biomes

@floral shoal hi, you can try a BTF - Water file from https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/980?tab=files
This removes the foam
Not the reflections though
floral shoal
@hearty crypt anything to take away water surface effects that exist in stock lol.
Like many things in this game, I fail to imagine a dev looking at that and saying "ya that looks right"
without a LOT of nipnip in their system

just gotta look at the grass
it's spawning at max 1m in front of you
for lod it's teh worst, you literally have to stand in front of the model so it loads up

by default the grass is like one step from the character
you do two steps it starts poping the grass in front of your nose

@hushed bronze do you know if there is api that returns elevation or z coordinate of player on planets?
Id love an elevation readout on my visor/ship
hushed bronze
I dont think so
floral shoal
ships give what appears to be an x and y coordinate but no elevation.
hushed bronze
but anyway, honest opinions on this style of fog?
(Its not like... dialed in its just a rough experimental result)
floral shoal
need comparison
or send me the pak and ill test it on the world Im currently considering for new base
the fog here is thicker than i want. I want to be able to see farther
hushed bronze
its way too rough for that lol Im just aking if you like the style of fog with the enhanced color influence n stuff
fluid wing
oh wait did'nt you update something
hushed bronze
Yeah I put a low range grass patch on the biome mod
fluid wing
what's that for
hushed bronze
Also I added a bunch of detail to the description page. Let me know if there's more that I should mention in the descrip iof the biome mod ๐
fluid wing
oh yeah didn't notice
floral shoal
can you do a screenshot of that area without the fog mod?
hushed bronze
MULTIPLE people immediately complained that I was buttf||uck||in their fps lol

i 100% agree Procedural Traveller

I turned all my graphics down and am now hitting 90 to 100 fps most places. really loving it.
cant wait for my 2080 ti to show up and see what it can do
might even turn on grass again
hazy fulcrum
@floral shoal My 2080 Ti can easily hit 130 FPS on most planets, can even max out to 160 on some sparse planets.
floral shoal
on ultra?
i have noticed that ultra doesnt really impact fps that much compared to high
hazy fulcrum
High
floral shoal
most games ultra is nonsense. they dont even try. the caps on things are all over the place
here its just an incremental step from high
floral shoal
i cant wait to have 130 fps in nms. sept then im gunna finally feel like vr is worth getting and spend another 1000
I think that worlds water color is a bad example for that fog color, but I think if carefully picked based on color theory for the given world colors, it could add something nice
@hushed bronze
hushed bronze
I can't pick its colors I dont think, its hard linked to something
but I mean random rolls will get something nice at times right ๐
floral shoal
oh. are you just increasing the value of that bluish tinge in the second photo?
hazy fulcrum
@floral shoal What CPU are you rocking? That also impacts FPS
hushed bronze
I am raising the color force, yes
floral shoal
@hazy fulcrum 8700k cool at 4.9
hushed bronze
i raised it a TON ( do this to ensure that I can see differences if there are differences)
floral shoal
i can oc it to 5.1 but it literally starts effecting my electric bill noticeably lol
hushed bronze
i just wanted to know if you guys think more-colored fog is a good direction to take, not if the obviously over-juiced fog in that pic looks perfect or not lol
hazy fulcrum
Nice, recently upgraded from the i7 9700K to the i9 9900K
floral shoal
@hushed bronze I think it has potential, but I don't think its a money maker
hallow pumice
Iโm using the values from the mod, chromatic skies for my own personal use, I really like that amount ๐

@hushed bronze what about re-dimensioning and reusing the volumetric clouds as thin but wide layers of fog just below the peaks of mountains?
that could be sick

Does anyone know a nice warp mod for Beyond?
floral shoal
@sweet wagon the only one I know of is the one that replaces the regular one with the black hole one
sweet wagon
Hmmm not really interested in that one...
floral shoal
you can look through all of the mods that have been updated since beyond released in like 20 minutes on nexus. I did it yesterday
thats all there is right now I think
hushed bronze
@floral shoal Ive thought of that but it seems that such a change would be global and it would make lousy fog if youve ever stood inside a cloud effect
floral shoal
What do clouds look like when you stand inside them? Isn't it just white?
omg. a black fog world with lots of hostile creature would be an amazing Halloween mod lol
just cover the whole world is super thick fog where you cant see more than 3 feet in front of your face
and put it on a super creepy world with nasty creatures
might be easier to modify storm effects to simulate that. I have a base on a world that is pretty much always dark because it has super dark brown storm weather and a storm every few minutes.
hushed bronze
@floral shoal Well I mean.... My biome mod makes Extreme Firestorm Jungle planets a possible thing... find one and wait for night ๐
But also thats like a 1-in-72 chance to find an extreme Firestorm Lush planet in my mod
floral shoal
just need a mod that makes all fog black and 99% opaque for Halloween
getting sick of all the earthlike planets having disgusting yellow puke skies
floral shoal
has anyone made a star wars mod that makes you look like a jedi with a lightsaber? I'm starting a new base on an extremely hoth type planet complete with satellites and crashed megaships
id settle for bobafet with a blaster = multitool
hearty wasp
that's possible
cos technically the guns works similarly to the ships in terms of entities afaik
I've actually thought about making something similar
but instead of lightsabers I want MP5s
floral shoal
its so sad to go to the nexus and see a dozen fighters with 48+8 lol

@floral shoal I mean... you know there's a scanner bug that reports your own ship's specs when you point at another player ship?
floral shoal
@hushed bronze I just noticed that like 2 minutes ago
hushed bronze
lol
floral shoal
it permanently reports your own ship stats regardless of what ship you are pointing at

Works fine on AI ships, only does it for player ships i think
Anyway I'm loving the mysterious explorer effect of redmas's blackout planets with no infopanel readout ๐

@hushed bronze what happens if I create a portal on my freighter and jump through? I feel like there was a good reason they didn't allow us to build portals on our freighters without your mod

*teleporter
floral shoal
ya, portal, thats what I said.
heavy merlin
And that implies they do things for good reasons 
modest lintel
If you make a portal on your freighter, it acts like any other portal

I use mine all the time on my freighter to goto other stations

its I portal away from it, can I also portal to it?
floral shoal
portal portal portal @heavy merlin
ok thats probly a good thing
portal: a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and imposing one.

they would, but you keep showing them your butt

That's a motivation

and they forget
hushed bronze
Lol yeah IDK why they didnt default allow portals on freighters. Maybe they thought it would be OP, same reason they probably limited the gas collectors n things like that

@hushed bronze probably because theres no reason that have a teleporter on freighter. Ask bum.

my freighter is a mega farm
floral shoal
oh shit
fluid wing
i sent it twice on exploration but i find this useless
floral shoal
i didnt think it would autocorrect it to actually mods
fluid wing
modest lintel
so i goto my freigther, do the farming thing, then teleport to a station xD

wow you did the same misspell I did 10 mins ago
floral shoal
get your weeb vibes out of here

So Im making this little mini mod I'm calling "Mysterion" Inspired by the accidental buggy trainwreck the latest update made out of another mod ...
It takes away all the info panels planet details except the Titles and uses enough fog to visibly obscure the planet so you can make out where land vs ocean is, but not particularly what kind of planet it is
Because I accidentally played with no planet info panel or ability to see the surface and I felt like a frontier explorer like that and I thought hey I should make a mod that does this in a more controlled, intentional manner ๐
modest lintel
freaky lol
i just spent the last bit looking through the fleet globals >.>
trying to figure out if there was a daily mission timer hidden in there somewhere with no luck
wonder if that's either a) hidden somewhere else or b) done through the discoveries server
or something
floral shoal
any of you able to quickly access info about how black holes damage modules?
I'm wondering if they can damage modules in the tech slots too, or just in the storage slots on the ship. It would make huge amounts of sense for modules in the tech slots to be safe from damage, making the high tech slot explorers good black hole jumping ships.
modest lintel
it was just the storage slots if i remember correctly
i think i remember reading that on the wiki
yeah, tech slots don't take damage from black holes
floral shoal
@modest lintel are you gleaning that from their wording in the tips and tricks section, because it seems sort of implied but very non explicit
modest lintel
nah, multiple hits from a google search
floral shoal
oh. Ok im going to update the wiki
is it safe only if you have star seed?
ive seen talk that star seed somehow helps
floral shoal
ya thats a shame
as far as I've found in this game, health points are basically pointless. once your shield is gone your health goes almost instantly
would be great if it extended protection from black holes to all modules on your ship

"Fairy Forest" biome.
lime mesa
nice
dreamy tulip
@hushed bronze Looks pretty. I like the filter loaded.
hushed bronze
Well, I'm designing the fairy forest as a rare by being one of the options for Hugelush, the one I found happened to be that filter type ๐
Its actually orange/yellow, the filter saved it from ugliness ๐
dreamy tulip
Ahhh. I see. Nice job
That's a good idea
Some environments should be extra special
hushed bronze
Here's another type i'm doing, "Savannah" just uses a trick I learned almost accidentally where I discovered that stretched out NEWLUSHGRASS (the shortgrass of AR and NEXT) looks totally like prairie grass
dreamy tulip
Nice
I had a savanna ish type biome, towards the end of this (very outdated and less refined video) - https://youtu.be/M21rO1FH50E
hushed bronze
That grass is an asshole to balance against performance though, thats what Im working on RN, not making savannah 25 FPS slower than everything else lol
dreamy tulip
It can be tricky to deal with, but once you get it you get
hushed bronze
seems everyone with any sense for biome mods puts the fog back in lol
hushed bronze
It is, but also imo it's sorta necessary to mask certain graphics / draw / LOD issues as well
Large tree pop-in disappears with some fog ๐
dreamy tulip
In Beyond, certaintly. The vanilla water looks like it's clipping in the horizon
As if there's an edge to the planet
hushed bronze
Puh the Water is probably the ugliest thing in this entire game if you ask me
dreamy tulip
My fan project has something that I developed called "Seamless Generation"
hushed bronze
what the hell are they doing whut
dreamy tulip
A near consistent universe where everything feels as if it always was there and always will be there
hushed bronze
I dont like the shitty low res particle textures either but I would drop them by half if it meant decent water
dreamy tulip
There's no pop in. The entire planet generates at once (almost too subtle to notice it).
The only thing that you can see fade in, is the grass (but it's far in the distance) and it blends in so is pretty much unnoticeable anyway - without glitching
You can see things to the edge of the planet
hushed bronze
Yeah I notice the grass would be a lot more blendy if it actually matched its supporting texture's color
Im pretty sure they werent mismatched in old editions
dreamy tulip
It would blend better if it matched the environment
hushed bronze
Well I just got a mod to run global DOF lol ๐
dreamy tulip
I have depth of field, but it requires extensive changes throughout the files to get it to not be broken, as it's handled more than in that global
Try going in photo mode with it. It will likely glitch all over the screen
DOF was also iconic to prerelease
It took me awhile to find out why that thing was buggy
Also, here is a custom underwater depth of field: https://i.imgur.com/g1UVNCF.png
hushed bronze
Maybe vulkan or something, but I just tried it out and it slips into photo mode no problem
modest lintel
pretty
hushed bronze
no i mean maybe cleared up by that
dreamy tulip
Did you try going into photo mode and looking up?
hushed bronze
not Up, i dont htiink
vid incoming
anyway it seems to have worked perfectly for me
dreamy tulip
Aside from the ghosting, I don't see the issue based off of that video.
So, it appears to be fine
I'll give it a test myself soon
I am curious now
hushed bronze
I mean, its WAY over-amped but the fact remains it appears to work right ๐
BTW i thought maybe we used enormously different methods, this is SKYGLOBALS just for reference
dreamy tulip
Yes, it's handled in the skyglobals and also in the weather files
And some other files
And also in certain shaders that are not accessible ideally right now
I wanna load up. If I don't have that issue, I will be happy
One thing that is still broken is that cloud level in photo mode
It's been broken since NEXT
hoary drum
IKR. That cloud level thing doesn't seem to do anything
hushed bronze
Just remove the option if you are never gonna fix it, right?
dreamy tulip
Okay, it is fixed. So, you're right.
I just checked. That's good to know.
Decimals do have an effect, but...
It has to be a high value
1 was too strong for me, so, I had to find the lowest value that it would detect
hushed bronze
I figure its just a whole-number percentage instead of 0.25 =25% thing
Did you find a floor number?
dreamy tulip
It gets stronger (subtly) from 1.0 to 1.1, 1.25, 3000
etc..
Yeah
Just finished HD re-texturing most of the game's flora assets
south vortex
Wow
hushed bronze
Are you giving out RTX 2080Ti's with the release of the mod?
modest lintel
that darn exosolar
tempting me with extra biomes so that i have to close nms to install it
how dare he do something kewl
hushed bronze
Completely forgot that I made a Lush GIANT CRYSTALS biome lol
modest lintel
oh god my eyes
hushed bronze
Better?
modest lintel
lol that's better
dreamy tulip
@hushed bronze Haha
No performance drop, thankfully!
All unused assets that have been previouly broken are now repaired
No more visual glitches or collisionless assets with no functionality
Will eventually add custom functionality to them
hushed bronze
Just tearing it up over there arent you
Not even in photo mode for that one
THEY CAN GROUND-MATCH!!!!
modest lintel
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
i want green on green
emerald on green
just cus that's my favourite colour lmao
hushed bronze
Well now, if you find a Green Lush crystal panet, they will have Green crystals
in the mod I havent updated publicly yet ๐
hushed bronze
I'm spitshining whatever biomes I run accross atm
that one's already there, actually, just not polished up like it is now
modest lintel
i see
hushed bronze
Luckily, its late so I'm just about done here and I think I'll upload the changes very soon ๐
hushed bronze
well i gotta be able to do school and become an educate
modest lintel
oh right, i suppose that is kind of important
dreamy tulip
Sorry had to run out
But yeah man, as much as I am doing (currently 17 hours straight into writing code for today)
I still have so much to do. I try not to get overwhelmed
But it's a great learning process
So much that I don't know yet
Oh, I sculpted a Joshua tree for NMS
Will soon get around to Joshua Desert
hoary drum
Looks good
dreamy tulip
Thank you
hoary drum
Hey I have a question
dreamy tulip
Yeah?
hoary drum
What would the recommended system requirements be for this mod?
I eventually plan on getting a pc so I can use this mod
dreamy tulip
If you can run vanilla, you should be okay.
The older version of the fan project ran better than vanilla for me, and it's about the same - but better now since vulkan
I still would suggest getting a high end rig as you can't go wrong with that
After upgrading to a 1080 amp extreme, it's benefitted me a lot
But low - mid end users were able to use it fine
I know it looks super taxing
But it's not
Because of how I am doing things
hoary drum
Thank you. I wanted to make sure because if I'm going to get a pc I at least want to be able to use this mod for the game
And another thing
I know you are trying to do a PS port for the mod. Will you eventually do one for Xbox?
dreamy tulip
No problem.
I'm on edge about Xbox
I come from the console modding scene
One sec, was eating, have food on my hands brb lol
hoary drum
Lol alright
hallow pumice
That poor keyboard ๐ญ
dreamy tulip
Lol
Back
Yeah, I come from the psx modding scene
Back in the day, I managed to get access into gamespy's servers from my PC and interact with PS3 users - on Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
After learning a lot of how the server functions, I removed all public chats on their server and replaced them with more interesting rooms for the community that people liked
There were also a lot of players who would cheat, in the game, which people couldn't stand
And a toooon of crazy chat abuse
There was this glitch where people could play as superman and groundpound or the flash and do this move, where you could never get out of it.
And they would spam that move until they won. And if many people were about to lose, they would disconnect their ps3 to prevent taking a point
So they would appear with like 5k wins (or some crazy high number) and 0 losses
So, I went into the private GS server from my PC... started speaking in the ps3 chats from my PC, got admin access and put the cheaters in time out
And also created new rooms
I managed to fuse the PS3 player portion of the server with Xbox 360
hallow pumice
RaYRoD anti hack ๐
dreamy tulip
And created cross play
hoary drum
Thats pretty cool
dreamy tulip
And I coded a custom hotkey for my controller, whereas if someone were to cheat - pressing 'select' would instant kill them
lol
I rarely ever used it
Someone reuploaded a vid of it that I had from 2008, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYN9a1SMNWE
dreamy tulip
After the GS servers shut down, my friend CHC cloned it and renamed it to openspy
@maiden flame Hi. I am still working on it (also as of a few minutes ago)
After MKvsDC it was just GTA V
hoary drum

maiden flame
So good
dreamy tulip
Thanks for the kindness
@hushed bronze Keep up the great work ๐
And thanks for tuning in. I look forward to sharing the fan project so anyone interested can enjoy
hushed bronze
Figured out how to get those darn crystals to render at long distance, which was necessary given how big they can be
dreamy tulip
Regarding GTA V (referring the xbox question)...
I created one of the first mod menus for GTA V, alongside Chrome x Mods (on the ps3).
My brain learns things differently. It's wired differently.
Also, at the time I naturally found it more difficult to understand high level language like (C#, C++) than low level language.
It was easier to learn a lot of asm than it was for C++ or C#
So, I learned a bit and wrote 19k lines in a month
here is the source code: https://pastebin.com/uCGEpTPy
But I am glad that I stopped modding GTA V
Some of my friends got swatted
hallow pumice
Good update there @hushed bronze Iโll have to check it out ๐
dreamy tulip
After R* declared it illegal to mod online
And I remember when my friend Geohotz got swatted by Sony. After he created the first jailbreak. Now he works for Sony, I think?
After GTA V it was just random PC projects, and then NMS
But when I tried logging online on a modded xbox
Literally 3 minutes after that I was banned from xbox online
and also xbox falsely banned one user (under the accusation that they loaded modded nms contents) on day one
After NMS launched for xbox
So, that's why I'm on edge lol
But I'd totally (if feasible) dig through the files
hoary drum
Thats crazy
I would understand if you decide not to
Thank you for answering the questions I had
dreamy tulip
Thanks for reading all that, I tend to write more than necessary
But would be pretty cool. I don't have the latest xbox though
And I dunno if it is even exploited
hoary drum
That's perfectly fine. I didn't mind reading through it
Yeah I only have the one s so I wouldn't really know
This isn't really an important question but I noticed you've been alot more active on here lately. Are you planning something?
Or are you just trying to get more engaged with the community?
dreamy tulip
Sorry, was away
hoary drum
Thats ok
dreamy tulip
Oh, nice. How is the One S?
I have always been around, but just in my Discord server. I never left.
I left this server by choice a bit back. There were some things going on and I needed to focus on my work
hoary drum
Its good. But things like load times, download speed, and fps for games and main menu are meh
hushed bronze
Hey Ray would you happen to know much about this factor here?
<Property name="MaxRegionRadius" value="3" />
It seems to have been the ticket to getting super long range spawns to work well but I don't know if it carries any scary drawbacks
hushed bronze
I'm considering blowing out my PC by using it on grass ๐
dreamy tulip
This should do, for grass:
modest lintel
@hushed bronze what is the stock grass range thing do?
dreamy tulip
public static int NextStyle_Grass_MinRegionRadius
= 0;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_MaxRegionRadius
= 19;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_MaxImposterRadius
= 10;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeInStartDistance
= 80;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeInEndDistance
= 70;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeInOffsetDistance
= 10;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeOutStartDistance
= 9999;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeOutEndDistance
= 9999;
public static int NextStyle_Grass_FadeOutOffsetDistance
= 0;```@modest lintel Thats just a low range version of the mod for people who have performance problems with insane grass
dreamy tulip
Ignore the name "NextStyle"
modest lintel
ahhhh okay
dreamy tulip
That is identical the value of what trees were used as
on Next.
Grass you don't wanna push too far
It will cause a slideshow glitch
But that should still be great.
hushed bronze
I will push till it breaks ๐
dreamy tulip
From my experience, that is the highest I would push it
Because though grass may be stable on one planet
The next planet it may not
Taking into factor the different types of environments and their densities
Certain combinations (if that stuff is up too high for the fade) will cause it to bug out
So, we don't wanna go too low, but we don't wanna go too high. Need that golden setting
modest lintel
i think i'll actually play the game now. i was being silly and digging around the files trying to look for two different things lol
hushed bronze
Goddamn
modest lintel
one was to see if i could find if there was a place to adjust when the fleet expedition lists updated and could be adjusted, the other was to see if i could adjust the cartographer nav data exchange rate. to make it an equal trade of 5:5 just to speed it up, but couldn't find either xD
lime mesa
@hushed bronze carpet bomber grass fix when
hushed bronze
Oh. In like a few minutes lol
dreamy tulip
Does anyone have a 'least favorite' vanilla biome type?
desert umbra
Fungal
hushed bronze
I used to like fungal somewhat, they were weird and colorful
now they're just green trash looking places
desert umbra
I mean, it has potential, but I just wish there were more fungus types represented than just cap shrroms
Also that
dreamy tulip
Yeah, I feel the same
It's like once you've seen it once
It feels redundant afterwards imo
hushed bronze
I was gonna focus my next several new biomes in my mod on those poor neglected places ๐
hushed bronze
I cannot believe the duplicate mod of my scanner cleaner has 4.3k DL's when it was posted after mine and doesnt affect the surveyor
WHY CRUEL FATE LOL
dreamy tulip
Lol, that happened to me on next
desert umbra
It's probably because it was posted after yours, so people saw it first
hushed bronze
Oh but hey @lime mesa the Carpet bomber upload finished
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1080?tab=files
dreamy tulip
Some people were going through my old overhaul mod source and just copying the stuff for next and releasing it ambiguously
hushed bronze
Well damn thats just being a dick
At least this guy didnt rip mine off, flat out lol
hushed bronze
the uploads were within 13 minutes of each other and his "dummy" files aren't the same
dreamy tulip
I see. Yeah. The way I look at it is... all the vanilla files are owned by HG's. And a lot of people share similar interests. So, one person is likely bound to do something that another person has... but when the values are all identical and it's 100% the same... can be a tad 'rude' lol
hushed bronze
But oh well, I'm still thrilled that four of my mods are in trending top 20 ๐
Anyway, goodnight, all!
dreamy tulip
Have a good night ๐
dreamy tulip
No more shimmering clouds
I forced them to 1080p
I made them a tad less opaque than this pic

Cheers
I have lots of surprises, for the MultiVerse
Every day I am making new things for it
And refining what is already existent
So, it will all be released eventually
Then I will do some isolated releases of certain features
cyan moss
I wonder if still messing with the hud is possible to unstretch it
Looks disgustingly bad, 13 inches of my monitor is just a health bar
cyan moss
Do you think it's possible to unstretch it for bigger resolutions?
dreamy tulip
Although it is possible to mess with the HUD... unstretching requires shader changing.
However, shader modding on Beyond is still in very early experimentation
It may get figured out at some point
dreamy tulip
Heh yeah
cyan moss
That's from another friend that uses ultrawide
dreamy tulip
That looks terrible
cyan moss
Mine looks similar
When I have to go in the discovery tab
I have to read 1 sentence across 30 inches of my monitor
dreamy tulip
It's like the aspect ratio of a small stack of pancakes...
Hopefully shader modding will be fully back soon
cyan moss
Oh also one question
Your mod in the past with starship swapping
What did you use for the entity
Since turning a fighter class starship into it just crashes everything
dreamy tulip
It's been awhile, I need to go back and check. I do plan to try updating it. However, it was a custom struct
Like, I don't really remember
cyan moss
Do you think it's possible to check for just the single vehicle
I removed the tables and such so you can't build it but i'm trying to force it onto an existing aircraft
So I kept the .scene.mbin and all the other files connected to the separate aircraft you created
But when I force the scene.mbin or the build scene all of them just crash the game upon loading
dreamy tulip
You were using that on Beyond?
cyan moss
I have been modifying it to make it work
It works, I can play but I can't seem to force it on an existing vehicle
It just crashes when I force it on one
cyan moss
Nope
I removed the tables since they are an extreme crash
I have 5 ships
I edit the ".scene.mbin" of the fighter class
To the scene of the police ship you created
Since you made a separate entity but copied the materials and such from the original one
I noticed you had redirections towards all the materials on the main one
dreamy tulip
Can you elaborate on "Forcing it on an existing vehicle"
cyan moss
One sec
The save has the "class" of the ship saved as the .scene file
So I messed around with it
and I can turn my ship into a police one
issue is, with the original one the entity flies away
as many times as i teleport it trough the X menu it just flies away
but i can access inventory and see the police ship
Others can also see it oddly enough
So the entity you created is "usable" and "flyable" to some extent, meanwhile the original is not
So I am trying to insert your entity into the game files, and forcing the save itself to access that specific file
dreamy tulip
I will have to go back and check soon. But from what I think I remember, the flying away issue is entity related
It thinks it's an ai ship
cyan moss
Exactly, and you have your own custom one
I don't understand the game very well since I never messed with this
But I want to just create a separate entity
which has a scene model and that's it
dreamy tulip
Yeah, I'll go back to see what I did. I was planning to update my old mod soon, but haven't gotten around to it yet
I'll let you know
What I find
cyan moss
I'll see if I can replace the ship AI with your own entity
There we go
Looks pretty nice
Now I have to work on getting your file on using it work somehow
Since you use the fighter cockpits and such
desert umbra
@dreamy tulip I like the hud, but I feel there could be issues in some cases, especailly where the background is dark
like in the upper left corner
dreamy tulip
@desert umbra Hey
I added a glass effect, for dynamic lighting ๐
On the HUD
It is interactive
dreamy tulip
Certainly. I need to update it for Beyond though.
I had it updated for Visions, mostly, but the update released as I was finishing it. Need to check to see if I need to adjust it any further
desert umbra
Well, take your time. Can't rush greatness after all!
hushed bronze
erm...
cyan moss
I'm a bit confused
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Only if I could get more information so I can actually find it
cyan moss
Still stuck on that same issue

a wall that that never existed
not sure if I'd trust that mod then
if they are using that random old screenshot

@desert umbra Hi

There could also be a chance that they're using something like Beyond Fantasy
@dreamy tulip hey
dreamy tulip
Do you mean the monolith?
desert umbra
I was asking about the starfish rocks because they've always felt incongruous to me
dreamy tulip
Ah, they seem kind of out of place to me too
desert umbra
I was wondering if you had any plans for them
lime mesa
"There could also be a chance that they're using something like Beyond Fantasy"
No, that screenshot is from way back before the game released.
As early as March 2016
lime mesa
that's good to hear ๐
hearty wasp
I should make that buildable sometime @lime mesa
think I didn't make that cos I didn't want things too big to be built
but then now I'm making the crashed freighter engine block buildable
so fuck it right

Sorry, was away
Have been writing code...
Reading now
@desert umbra I have plans for a lot of things. Those starfish rocks are a small thing, I'll toss em into my todo list of what to get creative with

wary elk
i have a gate portal address that doesnt translate correctly on the github site
the first symbol is wrong in the translator
so the galactic address with hex numbers is wrong?
(like the save editor)
lime mesa
I have a hard time trusting the save editor sometimes
wary elk
well the github site is the same
lime mesa
though it did fix my issue with one of my milestones
lime mesa
github might need to be updated
lime mesa
possibly
heavy merlin
First symbol is planet number. That isn't there for signal-booster coordinates, which is why the nmsportals site asks you to input it separately. Using an address with the wrong first number should get you to the right system, but possibly not the right planet.

Oh, surprising.

I got a snow planet after 12 hours lol
hoary drum
There has been at least 1 snow planet for every single system I visited. My starting system had both a snow planet and a snow moon
fluid wing
I visit every planet on every system i go, i got 1 frozen planet and 2 dead planets so far after 12 hours
That's how games should be tho everyone has unique stuff going on. Taht's why i can't wait for rayrod's overhaul, it will be amazing
hoary drum
I do the same. But I'll probably get to a point where I don't really bother going on them. Just like my last save game
Unfortunately i'm unable to use Rayrods overhaul
fluid wing
i don't bother with poisonous toxic and other stuff like that other tha missions lol
i jsut scan and if it's some nightmare planet i'm out
dreamy knot
hmmm that reminds me
i'm off to work on this always blue snow mod ๐
fluid wing
I'll be using rayrod's as soon as he releases alpha on his patreon
hoary drum
Lol I pretty much don't even scan planets anymore. I can tell which biome it is by looking at it
lime mesa
nobody should be paying for mods but that's none of my business :V
hoary drum
^
fluid wing
the mod will be free
fluid wing
you pay to support him developing it till the release
hoary drum
@lime mesa Well he is just supporting rayrod for the hard work he is putting in
Being able to play the mod early is a bonus for supporting him
fluid wing
but also if yo utake a look at what he's doing it has nothing to do wit han actual mod, it's a complete game overhaul
hoary drum
Thats true
Tbh I kind of wish that when the mod is complete we find out that it is actually an official update for the game that Rayrod was making for HG
lime mesa

I think my custom Toxic biome is coming along nicely ๐
This is meant to outright replace the stock toxic in my biome expander
fluid wing
why did you delete the last pic?
lime mesa
@fluid wing From what I've seen of the so-called 'overhaul' in the past, and available videos of the recent work, it hasn't added anything that justifies calling it an overhaul. "Overhaul" by definition means "a thorough examination of machinery or a system, with repairs or changes made if necessary." Adding a bunch of giant trees and random biomes isn't an overhaul. What HG with tweaking some aspects of NMS over the course of it's development since it's release, especially when you compare the release version to the NEXT version, THAT is an overhaul. There's a good handful of modders out there, like @hushed bronze here that have a good idea of how to approach defining what to call their mod, they don't over-promise and make it sound like they are doing the work of 25+ all by themselves.

@lime mesa i meant, that it would be really sneaky of RaYRoD to make an overhaul, and in the end it actually is a new big update
