dope, thanks

I think I will start a new save
lavish bay
What kinda mod we talking about here?!?
fluid wing
every mod
fluid wing
especially the ones from Exosolar, jason dud, redmas and rayrod
it's modding in general cheat or not man lol
lavish bay
Can I do that on PS4?
fluid wing
i haven't seen anyone sharing a cheat mod tho
lavish bay
Well i mean there is the dupe
fluid wing
I have no idea how ps4 supports modding 
lavish bay
Which doesn’t require a mod lol
fluid wing
idk i'm not cheating so can't tell
lavish bay
That’s all the cheating you need imo
steel crypt
You would have to do a lot of work to mod PS4 stuff. Not easy, extremely involved.
spare patrol
ooof beyond fantasy is -bright-. Or maybe it's just jason's colors...
Also, how would I turn off the increased mining speed for beyond fantasy? I don't have either the x5 or x10 part of it added.
spare patrol
Yeah, I have 170. I took it out thinking it was the culprit, but it's still bright
hushed bronze
Wow I can imagine how bright it was before that lol
spare patrol
I might just buck up and deal with it, although it's almost white at times
I took out 170 for now
hushed bronze
A LOT of mods have been doing nothing lately im starting to wonder i HG really disrupted how the mod priority works?
spare patrol
... looks like the x5 is generic to Fantasy itself. I can only imagine what will happen when I upgrade to where I was before.
hushed bronze
Yesterday I had to give Basebuilding all the underscores in order to function, theres no conflict so why did I need to do that?
spare patrol
Oh, should I redownload it?
I can't help but wonder if there are some jealous programmers who don't like people modding their stuff, so they make it intentionally a hassle
pure inlet
Ive now found 33 mods that currently all work together in the current update and all do what they are meant to do with no issues of any kind that i have found. If anyone is interested in my list or the pack files then ill gladly supply them.
spare patrol
Would renaming files and adding underscores mess with the mod? Or is it just for load order?
candid notch
Anyone know if there is a homeworld mod to replace the freighter with the homeworld mothership ?
spare patrol
I know there's one to replace capital freighters with the Enterprise D
but that's it

Anyone want their sentinels to be murderous psychos?

Anybody know of a mod that allows you to fly one of the police ships?
I’ve been looking for like a year now lol. I know rayrod had one but it’s long dead
livid turret
any mod to allow me to remove the photon cannon ?? it suckkss to not be able to :/
gentle sinew
Save editor
livid turret
ok 🙂
prime jasper
@livid turret just put your mouse over the photon cannon then press and hold down the scroll wheel, same as discarding items
livid turret
@prime jasper that does not work for base tech :/
livid turret
are you sure you donth ave a mod for it? because it sure doesnt work for me (nor for anybdoy I googled)
prime jasper
I had no mod installed at the time
gentle sinew
It’s not removable afaik
You have to edit it out
But doing so might break your weapons
livid turret
@gentle sinew break how ?
gentle sinew
Because when you get in your ship you always start out ready to fire photon cannons, if you remove it then it doesn’t let you cycle through them
livid turret
ugh :<
prime jasper
Oh.... nvm i was thinking of plasma launcher lol sorry im out of it today
spare patrol
Since I'm getting radio silence in the other channels... anyone here familiar with XSplit? It's not seeing NMS for some reason, so I can't stream.
dapper sky
is nexusmods what people use for nms
gentle sinew
Yeah and the nomanssky mods website
Don’t use vortex though just install them manually
prime jasper
@spare patrol im not, wish i was able to help you
rough tartan
are there any warp mods compatable with beyond that get rid of the blinding tunnel with a much more pleasant visual?
median wasp
Just finished this. Original mod idea not by me, but this specific revamp is.
- Carbon crystals are black now, and emit a low red glow.
- Carbon as an item now has a black icon in the inventory. This does not use the old icon from the classic mod, and is instead a recreation of the modern texture from scratch.
- Carbon in the environmental view (after pressing C) has a black icon instead of a red icon
hushed bronze
Blacker Carbon lol
digital whale
Even blacker Carbon, vol. II

AHA
Stupid Expanse mod has a basebuilding table in it for some reason (Not to worry, its just my experimental copy)
Was wondering why my basebuilding mod kept getting kicked I was not using any other reality mods lol
left sentinel
speaking of which, @hushed bronze could you look into your beyond base building mod to let terrariums/aquariums be constructed anywhere? I remember being able to place them on basic flooring before beyond but I cant now
hushed bronze
Sure
hushed bronze
?
left sentinel
rescaled the terrarium to about 4x the size
lime mesa
is there a mod that lets you mark more than one thing on the scanner
left sentinel
Lol I started a new game in the Beyond Fantasy mod
And the starting planet barely had any ferrite dust rocks
Got softlocked
devout osprey
Sorry for this question you've probably heard a lot lately, but anyone know if there is a working fast dialogue mod for beyond yet?
I'm unmodded so far but I'd install that in a minute.
devout osprey
Just found this: https://nomansskymods.com/mods/faster-text-display/
Oh, may be the same
fluid wing
yeah it's the same but we didn't want to create an account just to donwload this so someone shared the pak file on mediafire
devout osprey
shred?
fluid wing
digital whale
unrelated: Is there a way to build a base outside of game and drop it in like a giant prefab?
devout osprey
@fluid wing simply didn't know what you meant by shred in that case and was curious.
dapper sky
are there any mods that let the game continue while tabbed out
devout osprey
Also, it's been a long time sinse I've used a mod in NMS. You drop them in as PAK files not zip files right?
dreamy tulip
Making another algorithm for dynamic space quick. This set of rules will pick from a pool of visuals that are from pre release imagery, shown in this google search: https://bit.ly/2Z0sLmZ
So, for example... the visuals of here can be in space: https://i.imgur.com/cIRiWhB.jpg
There are many, many, unique algorithms that I've made so far. However, I will continue to build onto it as time goes by. It can keep growing forever. One algorithm can produce an infinite amount of variety, however, different kinds of algorithms can create an infinite amount of variety of different styles.
Planning to release the 'space visual' stuff today
In a few hours likely
Need to write a changelog to it
And it's quite large
devout osprey
Does modding permanently modify your save in any way or make it so you can't do anything in the future as far as we know? I know it does for other games is why I ask.
dreamy tulip
@devout osprey You can always back up your save. Some things can affect it though.
Like for example, if you use a terrain mod.. and save on it. You will respawn in the air when taking it out.
fluid wing
^ had that happen with fantasy, it even broke my ship
devout osprey
I wasn't talking about things like that. I was talking about Hello Games imposed limitations when you mod.
left sentinel
at the most they showed displeasure for mods that change planet gen
I even remember people thinking they might limit that
devout osprey
For instance with X4, if you ever mod the save is marked with it and it limits the game in some small ways. I didn't thing Hello Games did that but was just checking.
left sentinel
woah when
dreamy tulip
Last year, they used some of my stuff, and a few other things
left sentinel
wow
dreamy tulip
Prior to launch they said that they wanted 'modding' to be a thing; like how Minecraft has it
left sentinel
I just remember people started sharing a quote sean said how they dont like mods that change planet gen or something along that lines
and people feeling concerned that this might have implications later
dreamy tulip
I think that Sean was specifically and only talking about how if you change one thing in the universe, it can change everything - thus it can become difficult to ensure that what you intend to do, is equal to the output in-game
devout osprey
I can understand wanting to limit modding in testing situations and that's why I've held off on modding my Beyond until now. I just had to have the fast dialogue though!
dreamy tulip
If I am correct, whoever said that took what Sean said out of context
left sentinel
ohhh
now that's more understandable
though ngl the couple mods I tried that change up planet gen, were definitely not starter game friendly haha
dreamy tulip
Yeah. I'm not really fond of most planet gen mods. Personally. This game can become so much, but for most, the extent that they go is just to change some things up. Which can be nice. But I like to add soul to it.
left sentinel
ya understandable
dreamy tulip
There needs to be consistency, style, and purpose - which requires A LOT of testing
and time getting familiar with how things function
left sentinel
I liked Redmas' fantasy mod a lot, but yeah even though he nailed the aesthetics but gameplay wise it could really lock you
dreamy tulip
And many people who have been doing that for a little while, or awhile think they understand it all already lol
I've been doing it nonstop for 3 years and I am just now realizing things about how planet gen works and potential in that realm of working with the game that I didn't realize in the past or even a few days ago
devout osprey
Is there a mod which makes it so your refiner won't empty out and lose contents when you walk too far away?
left sentinel
no because that's a core issue of the refiner
devout osprey
figured
left sentinel
and generally how the game handles memory
devout osprey
I swear I have to stay within visual range of it or a certain small distance. Not sure the rules yet.
Can't even walk into another room on the freighter
digital whale
@dapper sky - i was just thinking the same thing... let me know if you find anything
devout osprey
Out of curiosity do PC and console players play in the same multi-player?
sorry meant to put this on help

Heya fellas! quick question, everytime i use the Scan tool to check other players ships it allways shows my current ship stats!
is this natural to the game? or am i having some mod conflicts?
im new to the game aswell!
Thanks in advance!

@dreamy tulip damn these look beautiful
dreamy tulip
@left sentinel Cheers. Will be releasing in a few hours or so. Will be justifiably observed in-game 😛

@lime mesa does it fix the missing sodium/oxygen etc plants?
well not missing but just unusually rare
lime mesa
i think so
supple wadi
@lime mesa btw we can no longer pin stuff here ourselves
left sentinel
yea because I started like 3 saves and all three didnt spawn sodium
dreamy tulip
@hoary drum, @left sentinel,
Dynamic star sizes, Dynamic visuals (but overall black to fit the black space optional variants of the Dynamic Space), A denser map, slightly faster boosting, ad some other things
left sentinel
ohh
dreamy tulip
There will be other variations of it
Realistic spectral colours
YT compression trips it out a bit, but it'll be immersive in-game
Will push it out shortly
Just writing more code for a few things
lime mesa
@supple wadi ah ok, thx, i was wondering if i typed it wrong
hoary drum
Sounds good
dreamy tulip
Cheers
Will write out a full changelog, as a lot of other general game improvements
That are components from my larger 'MultiVerse' fan project
hoary drum
Will you end up making a new video at some point to show what the mod looks like with Beyond visuals. I haven't seen a video like that yet
dreamy tulip
Beyond isn't too far off from Visions actually
^ So, that's a 'barebones' example of 'an' earth like planet
But it's far from what it will ultimately look like
Lots more coming
dreamy tulip
I bought my PC awhile back, with money that I made from a business that was just starting at the time... (at the time it was around $5,000) but now the model is outdated. That was like 7 years ago. However, I've upgraded parts in it.
If you're wondering what kind of rig is recommended
It runs better than the vanilla game for me
If you can run vanilla, you'll be fine
Low, mid, High end rig
hoary drum
Yeah I was just a bit curious
dreamy tulip
But I still would always recommend a high end rig... as you can't go wrong with it. It's still beneficial
hoary drum
Of course
Im guessing that you made some optimizations to the game with the mod that make the game run better
dreamy tulip
Yes, without quality degradation
I used to be able to run 8k textures at 4k resolution
at 60+fps
dreamy tulip
Sup?
hoary drum
What's your plan going to be once you finish coding the mod?
dreamy tulip
After I surpass what once was, and I can say that "what now is, does..." then I will surpass what does and then after that I will surpass what surpasses what once was
hoary drum
Lol
dreamy tulip

gentle sinew
Rayrod my fucking boi can you please explain how to get the sentinel ship that was in your old mod? I’ve been after it for a year. Please fix that bit of the mod or explain how I could do it
@dreamy tulip
gentle sinew
Thank god dude I spent literal weeks trying to force my game to do it
10/10 best ship
I once got it to land in the space station so I could try to buy it but sadly no dice
dreamy tulip
Ah, I see man. Are you the person from the other day, who was trying to get it going?
gentle sinew
I’ve been trying to get it working for a long time
But yeah I was asking around yesterday when I found this discord
dreamy tulip
Ah, cool man
Yeah, no worries
I had it worked partially recently
But I still gotta get back around to finishing it
Also, gotta add this one:
gentle sinew
Will other players be able to see it?
gentle sinew
I expect that they’ll be able to see the sentinel ship because it’s in the files
gentle sinew
Multiverse?
I’ve done almost everything I can in the game at this point. I have 6 different colored maxed out squid ships and all my gear is maxed out but the main quest is bugged rn
dreamy tulip
I wrote a bit about it at the bottom of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/crziq9/how_to_use_mods_in_vr_with_no_mans_sky_beyond_on/
gentle sinew
Ok
dreamy tulip
There's ultimately too much to explain about it
But it is the successor to the old 'Overhaul'
left sentinel
maybe u need to take a break bro...
dreamy tulip
I'm working to restore the original vision of NMS
With my own take on various things
gentle sinew
Holy shit
dreamy tulip
Using knowledge and experience of working with the game since mid 2016
dreamy tulip
It is ambitious, but I will do it (in regard to all things feasible). All of the work that I have done has at one point been theoretical.
My mindset has always been.... there's no way? Prove it.
There's no way? Make a way.
I don't know how to make a way? I must learn what I need to learn in order to make one.
Here is one pre-prelease planet from old IGN footage recreated (Balari V)
The palettes at that time were different, the original are now brought back for a future release (alongside dynamic ones)
hoary drum
dreamy tulip
I will ping you once I have the sentinel ship working
@gentle sinew
Getting ready to release an update to Dynamic Space atm
supple wadi
@dreamy tulip call me when you remove basebuilding 😉
dreamy tulip
@supple wadi That's not a desire of mine. What, you don't like it? 😛
supple wadi
Nah just a tease at the goal of restoring original vision
Imo part of that is no basebuilding
dreamy tulip
Ah, so, you're thinking a different angle.
I get that that wasn't a thing then
But what I am doing is a multi-build hybrid
I'm quite fond of many of the new things
But I want to take all of the complimentary things of all builds (feasible) and make a hybrid
In their own respective ways
supple wadi
Yeah, I'm aware. The two ideas to my mind go against each other tho. Restore original vision, multi-build hybrid, must choose one over the other
dreamy tulip
Heh. I feel ya!
I'll get creative with it 🙂
Some planets can feel realistic, others painterly, others other stuff
Different art styles
Dynamically and diff systems
Will make it designated
So, being on one planet or system
Might feel like you are on a certain build
The next will be unknown
And in regard to the more static and local things... I'll work that out
I got this in NMS once, this is within NMS view: https://i.imgur.com/km6sf4L.png
But that kills immersion imo lol
Unless I can find a way to make it work in a super rare, anomalous type of way 🤔
gentle sinew
Lit thanks
dreamy tulip
Experimenting with intelligent atmospherics from pre-release imagery, NMS concept art, science fiction, in real life photography that I've taken, and random google images
I recently ported the visuals over from this concept art:
That first image is not a full resemblance of that
However, the sky picked from that bottom right pink tree, the clouds from the grass, the fog from the tree leaves
So, any pre-release visual can fuse with any other pre release visual or any other visual in general intelligently
For anything in the game
You can warp into a system or land on a planet that looks like a fusion between Oria V and some other random pre release planet
Or maybe a fusion of 100+ different things including alterations of them
Intelligently. No eye sore planets. Everything will be believable.
Currently at 20 million unique combinations for space
dreamy tulip
There isn't a seed for it 🙂

Yeah! I put a minecraft tree in NMS for testing lol

@gentle sinew Y'know your farms n stuff are supposed to grow and work in real time now aren't they? you dont have to leave your game open?

tbh so far idk what to think of your mod cause some pics looks really good but some other pics looks like it's out of another game
like the last pic doesn't look like nms at all
dreamy tulip
Well, technically it is No Man's Sky.
Check out this official image by Hello Games:
@fluid wing
Also, visible here: https://youtu.be/0APP5WcX8v8?t=19
fluid wing
did you photoshop some of your pics?
dreamy tulip
No. All screenshots are taken in-game w/o external post processing.
One thing that my 'software' - not entirely a mod, aims to do is output the original vision of No Man's Sky in my own take, in an ∞ number of unique ways.
That alpine biome (using Hello Games') assets is inspired by No Man's Sky
There really is an entirely familiar, but different game (and a series of builds) deep within the current build that we use.
fluid wing
man when hg releases something else like next or beyond you will have to update so much
aren't you also forcing people to use your entire mod library and nothing else aswell?
dreamy tulip
Fortunately not. My software auto updates my content and parses it ontop of the latest official update. :)
Once I finish coding this, it will remove the need for 99% of manual work
fluid wing
Since you change so many things i doubt that people will be able to use anything else
dreamy tulip
Nope. My tool is customizable. And like times of past, there are ways to override files.
However, I am creating a custom build to the game in C#
fluid wing
dreamy tulip
So, there's no dead end 😛
After a lot of various requests and suggestions within the past few years... I'm giving the minority of people what they wanted
However, most people who have used it - didn't see a need for anything else (from what I remember)
fluid wing
well tehre are stuff that are not fair, like the salvage data, you get 1 while some stuff cost like 400-700 to upgrade
or you get a really small stack that's completly ridiculous
dreamy tulip
However, if you really want to make something compatible. Here is a simple trick.
Change the filename of (whatever mod you use). Add this as a prefix: zzz
It will override the contents of whatever is in my mod with that mod
fluid wing
dreamy tulip
@fluid wing My fan project is intended to feel like an addition (or continuation) to the game
I am personally not fond of game breaking or wacky things
It depends, I have some exceptions
And my creativity does tend to go wild
However, the vanilla environments will also be possible
It will still be No Man's Sky - but it will feel like you jumped through a portal into another universe, within the 'MultiVerse'
It will have this feeling of... "I wonder what's out there?! Maybe it exists, somewhere! I can NEVER see it all!"
fluid wing
ok i see why multiverse
dreamy tulip
I started working on the mutiverse a month before Next hit. I haven't released anything of it yet, because my focus has been to polish things to ensure gameplay consistency. All that is shown is still barebones
And no where close to what it will eventually become (:
A tiny album of outdated work: https://imgur.com/a/XDzV45U
And when it is released
If you decide to give it a try...
I'm open to feedback or suggestions or requests (:
So, by all means... hit me up any time
fluid wing
are you going to change teh ui?
dreamy tulip
There will be an optional custom HUD
A modernized E3 2015 HUD by @lime mesa and I
fluid wing
but what abotu the inventory x)
dreamy tulip
It has a dynamic glass effect
fluid wing
cause it's kinda a really bad design taht inventory
dreamy tulip
There will be an optional E3 2015 inventory
fluid wing
it looks nicetho
prime jasper
If im correct i heard the game doent allow modders to change functionality of the ui much with mods?
dreamy tulip
It does, but it can be extremely tedious to do custom UI work
It took a lot of work to make that HUD
Which is an understatement lol
But now I got the hang of working with UI content and can do whatever the game allows
There are some things that are black boxed though
Within the executable
fluid wing
like whaT?
prime jasper
Ah okay
dreamy tulip
The ID's of UI content
Like for example.. what causes the "Weapon" name to call from the language file
The ID is hardcoded
You have to use it in the original file

Hey @dreamy tulip monkeyman just sarted to make an ui tool. First alpha is available
fluid wing
Anyone explain me why is this 50mb?!
He replaces the scanner noise with nothing and it's 50mb

Your hdd won't cry ? You should extract it. Noone knows

there's only one pak inside

I mean extract the pak 😉

i don't have that kind of powers

Speaking of Minecraft...
That new raytracing looks amazing
Need to get myself a new GTX
I wonder what NMS would look like, with it 😮

Not a super easy question to answer because they seem to have changed a lot of things with rendering at the same time. I have a GTX 960 2GB. I know, but it is the best thing I could jam into my old ass pc. I wasn't able to do tessellation before, but now I can with seemingly not much FPS drain. It overall seems better, it's just hard to tell on some things because I am so limited with memory. They also changed the LOD and texture memory allocation, not to my advantage. So, to make a long story short, if it was rendered how it was before, I would have to say it would be a definite performance increase.
@dreamy tulip
dreamy tulip
@steel crypt I'm glad to hear that you got a performance increase 🙂
For me it was a pretty significant, here and there

@dreamy tulip wait so I dont get it, the mod changes up the galaxy map only, right? the rest of the description is about your overhaul project?
dreamy tulip
@left sentinel Everything in the changelog is included

holy fuck
dreamy tulip
But it is a small aspect of something that I built for the MultiVerse
just a small taste of it

time to remove some mods
The terrain manipulator is now free

@dreamy tulip lol the mod is crashing my game right on launch
Can't go past hg logo
left sentinel
Oof
dreamy tulip
Had a compile error hehe
left sentinel
Ping me when it's up
left sentinel
Nope, latest stable
dreamy tulip
I believe that this is only compatible with the experimental branch
left sentinel
Ohh
left sentinel
Alright
dreamy tulip
Working on a fix now. I was running (fine with it unpacked). So, it's possible that I forgot to include a few mandatory files into that actual .pak file. The game likely read those components from the unpacked folder and not the .pak file
dense horizon
Can't wait to use your mod @dreamy tulip i have been a long time lurker on your Rayrod's Multi-verse mod and i'm so excited to use a mob done by you 🙂
dreamy tulip
@dense horizon Hello! :)
I appreciate your interest. I will make the 'Dynamic Space' mod public soon. I am currently verifying whether or not I've fixed a crash within it. I had an in-game texture set to get loaded that didn't exist. When the game tries to load a texture that doesn't exist, it results in a CTD.
Would you like to try a test version? And if it runs smoothly...
I'll be able to just upload the new files
dense horizon
i can wait untill you are done unless you'd like a test runner, i would be happy to help
dreamy tulip
Sure. Yeah, I need someone to verify whether or not it crashes for them 🙂
Will send a file in a moment, thanks a lot!
dense horizon
Oh i need to set my game version to the latest test branch right?
dreamy tulip
It might work fine without it
I haven't confirmed in regard to that yet
But here is a quick test file, uploaded to google drive as it's a bit too big for Discord on my end: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YGoyCytI6w7mm_9KsVNk3j8MSvwquzHf
left sentinel
o I'll try it too
dreamy tulip
Cool! Can't promise it's fixed Yet
But it might be
And it will be, if not yet
Just sorting some stuff
sinful anvil
i'll test it too
left sentinel
@dreamy tulip any issues with loading order btw? since you named it with a z
dreamy tulip
Thank you @sinful anvil
No loading order issues
The full version has a lot of other stuff in it
That's just a test file
left sentinel
Ok yep still crashing on stable 2.09.3
sinful anvil
im going to load the test by itself either way
dreamy tulip
Anyone here on exp branch?
sinful anvil
i am not
dreamy tulip
Thanks a lot. Confirmed that there's still a crash. Will iron it out 🙂
sinful anvil
i can try switching if it doesn't work; though my download speed is garbo so i'd be the slowest to do it 😛
ah ok
left sentinel
want me to try on experimental? only takes a minute
dreamy tulip
A small album of snaps from it (When it is working) - https://imgur.com/a/P9CJYy7
That would be helpful
left sentinel
alright
dreamy tulip
I'm still not sure if it's an exp issue
dense horizon
upon loading the game on the latest official version the game crashes, will now try to play with the branch version
left sentinel
Exp version, the game has loaded
dreamy tulip
Yeah, you're missing a component haha
Ah darn
The odd thing is that I haven't crashed once yet
So it's more tedious to deduce lol
I'm gonna try something quick
And send another file
left sentinel
Ok second attempt now and I've gone further than before
Alright I'm playing now @dreamy tulip
I was on a planet though lol, so I nearly clipped through cuz of the changed planet gen
left sentinel
Ye and I'm still playing fine
dreamy tulip
That shouldn't crash
Gonna load up myself too
and see if I can reproduce any crashes
left sentinel
damn nice
but the second planet I visited had a weather bug @dreamy tulip, the black smog and rain effect was only on one side of my screen and would follow me everywhere
dense horizon
ok what i have so far: With the latest branch version i could load the game just fine and play without any framedrops / lag that would be unusuall, Tested opening galaxy map - no problems and the new overlay you have made looked great
dense horizon
i tested warping to a new system, went fine and visited new planets - also fine
dreamy tulip
Ironing a few things out
dense horizon
this is a screenshot from a planet and i wonder if planets are supose to look like this when looking up to the sky?
sec need to find the screenshow but what it is is just a black circle with colourful aura around it (cant see the planet details or colours)
dreamy tulip
@dense horizon That's great to hear.
Take your time.
left sentinel
@dreamy tulip I think your mod is generally a heavy resource one so it could explain why I'm getting crashes as I have a kinda low end rig
dreamy tulip
Also if anyone wants the full thing (which could have a few issues until I update it) - I backed it up, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ulYoM3EcFpI2CktdfBr1M4rnNiRjgfBP
There are some other things in there
That could be it, or it could literally be something dumb as a typo in a filename lol
left sentinel
Takes me 2 attempts to load the game, the second one being smooth sailing
Yea second attempt and now I'm in game
dreamy tulip
It could be that something is dynamically loading
On some boot atempts
that could be faulty
I had an issue like this in the past
When the game was trying to call a missing texture
Just sorting through it quick
But this here
Might have no crashes @left sentinel https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BHfofqn191-sebuOQHqLMC0Rj_WS-Bew

i don't have high enought rank yet to post a screenshot in this thread, is it ok if i send it to you directly Rayrod?
dreamy tulip
Yes, that is okay with me! Thank you

Cool beans
Compiled a todo list
Of fixes
What I have so far:
Fix (unknown rare) crash
Fix heavy-air flooding
Fix planetary blending from night time
Fix camera height near in ship
left sentinel
@dreamy tulip nope it still crashes on first attempt, again right at the galaxy loading screen
dreamy tulip
This is helpful
One moment
Do you still have the download?
If so, what if you try the black or stylish blue variant?
I wonder if that crashes
After downgrading to non - exp
One thing I can confirm
It does require the exp branch
Time to focus on the other issues

Hello Games has released a statement in recent patch notes that some mods are incompatible/conflicting with the current version of NMS (2.09.4).
We are aware that some players are experiencing mod incompatibilities with this update. If you are experiencing problems please try disabling any mods you have installed.
Please try before jumping to conclusions, mod creators are likely aware of any issues.
hearty wasp
I mean yeah cos people be dumb lmfao
hushed bronze
Well the experimental version leading up to 2.09.4 was incompatible with my pc so Im a lil concerned
Oh no its still causing steam to eat shit and die
why would they release this
pure inlet
im in need of some help with my mod list
hushed bronze
Well I have no mods on at all and it dies so i cant help you
pure inlet
So i was playing fine earlier today and now when i launch the gamew ith mods installed in my files it crashes on the hello games screen
pliant rapids
@pure inlet same
pliant rapids
Still crashing too
pure inlet
if i take them all out im mgood so i guess more troubleshooting... ugh
@pliant rapids how many mods are you running?
pliant rapids
Mostly ones to change colors
pure inlet
how many
pliant rapids
But my save crashes atm
pliant rapids
Zero
pure inlet
ok... dude look. Your shit is crashing. How many mods are you running when you have them in.... omg 
hushed bronze
So yeah the moment I plug in a controller for NMS, Steam dies
every time, without fail
I odnt even belong in mod channel, im not modding rn
pure inlet
Well daloki since this update fucked everyone on modding for the most part i was about about to start troubleshooting every single one you had but i guess not then
modest lintel
@hushed bronze I can tell you game doesn't crash with your clear scanner/surveyor, beyond basebuilding 2.0, and expanse 1.3 if that helps so they're good with today's update lol
hushed bronze
Thats nice but for me, personally, NMS is effectively unplayable without a controller.... so I'm pretty much out of order until controllers dont crash my steam again
fluid wing
@hushed bronze I love you my man
modest lintel
😦 i know that feeling
fluid wing
reinstall steam
hushed bronze
does your game run with a controller?
modest lintel
i was fighting with steam yesturday trying to get it to see my new controller
yeah
fluid wing
steam did ask me if i want to use controller in big picture today tho
maybe they fked up something again
hushed bronze
oh its steam's fault yeeey
fluid wing
yeah p^robably, cause i use my controller everyday so strange to ask me if i want stupid big picture lol
hushed bronze
oh well I can basebuild without a controller but damn I cant fly without wanting to punch someone lol
modest lintel
i got a new ds4 and spent a few hours to get it to finally work
Back to doing doing the process of elimination game
half, half, half xD

at least this guy's gonna do it the smart way lol
modest lintel
Found one of yours that doesn't work, the full planet ship teleporter
modest lintel
lol
pure inlet
If you have Exosolars ship teleport range mod installed then you will be experiencing crashes. I am currently troubleshooting
per the most recent update
modest lintel
Yeah looks like that was the only mod crashing for me, the rest of mine are good. now i can play
dreamy tulip
Is anyone experiencing any crashing with the latest experimental branch and dynamic space?
I have a quick test version, to push out: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VnzPlltq8Hyw-MwPRTFFeYyzco3Mztoh
I am ironing out a few things still
The mod page is temporarily hidden, so, I'm asking to anyone who downloaded the first version of it 🙂
hushed bronze
@dreamy tulip A lot of crashing with 2.09.4 for a lot of reasons. I honestly would usggest letting HG figure out how to unfuck this mess for the next week or so rather than trying to fix it for them
dreamy tulip
@hushed bronze Oddly, I haven't crashed once pre-this exp branch (when other people were) or on this experimental branch
It's very likely that the crashes aren't entirely mod related
hushed bronze
I hadn't crashed in ages either, right up till 2.09.4's experimental version came around, then I had to go public so the game would work, and now that same fireball of a version is now the public and I'm just kinda screwed
dreamy tulip
Ahhh, sorry to hear that man.
hushed bronze
That's with pure-stock, no mods
dreamy tulip
That's trippy.
Also, I literally sent somebody a dummy file in a .pak
that CAN'T get loaded
and it was preventing a crash for him
modest lintel
wut
hushed bronze
Im pretty sure my issue is controller based, dont know if the main culprit is really NMS or steam if were being honest
dreamy tulip
Someone said that my test file loaded up with no crashes
hushed bronze
OH my test is so obvious
start a different game and plug in a controller
how simple I feel dumb brb lol
hearty wasp
wow you can't sit on the buildable chairs?
hushed bronze
Nope, other games all work as they always have with a controller
Just NMS bombs out steam if i try that
modest lintel
I'm assuming you did the basic stuff, so I haven't got any ideas. That is crappy 😦
dreamy tulip
So, according to 5-6 people
The crashes with DynamicSpace are now fixed
Now, I am fixing some other issues with it
Before reuploading and making the page public again
@sinful anvil @left sentinel @dense horizon
Thank you again, for the bug reports 🙂
hushed bronze
@modest lintel Don't assume, I've never had controllers crash anything before I dunno what the basic steps are lol
modest lintel
The issues I was having yesturday was mostly from trying to use inputmapping stuff like ds4windows, i wound up having to completely disable/uninstall the driver it installed, and rebooting to get stuff to work right with steam and nms. Not sure if that would relate much for you though
hushed bronze
Nah ive been using pure-steam for ages now
Could be a leftover but damn it would be ancient leftovers lol
modest lintel
Doesn't hurt to check just in case lol
Still really weird for that to happen 😕
...okay. now nms is crashing when i try to open the controller config from the game
and it took steam with it
dreamy tulip
Found another issue. I had the code for the improved night sky blending commented out lol
So, it wasn't getting outputted into the mod
Same with a few other things

Experimental Branch 03/09
Mods have been disabled by default to prevent a crash due to a data change that made some mods incompatible.
Introduced an error message to help better identify potential mod incompatibilities.
Should I leave mods off for now or re-enable them
dreamy tulip
Is that a long desired feature, you say?!
Introduced an error message to help better identify potential mod incompatibilities.
modest lintel
😮 now that is nice
modest lintel
As far as if you should leave them off for now or not, I guess that depends on if that note means they're completely disabled, or if you're able to just turn them back on. But its pretty easy to figure out which mod is causing a crash.
I wonder if it shows you on the warning screen about mods during game startup
Could be there+log in the mods folder, would make sense
peak dawn
dreamy tulip
Mods are loading for me
Check your PCBANKS folder
it generates the DISABLEMODS.txt file upon the first boot
modest lintel
ah they just did that again lol
quick make a conflicting mod, see how that error generates!
looks like my controller config got reset with this update ><
fluid wing
i wonder if they do that on purpose
dreamy tulip
A few people checked their pcbanks folder after loading
with mods
And the disablemods.txt was there
after deleting it loads on the latest exp branch
worked for me too
gentle sinew
does this latest update break all the mods?
prime jasper
Can someone make a mod that adds watefalls? Is that even possible?
jolly stag
The question of if waterfalls can be added isnt the issue
One of the fundamental questions I had was how the asset would be inserted
I suppse you could have lake props, which when properly generated, spawn near cliff faces, which then spawn a waterfall top and bottom lake
its mostly just math
making it look good in game is a lot of trial and error
rays more then aware of that thoigh
hehe
hushed bronze
@hearty wasp My NMS will no longer load in the new update with Intelligence Enhancer installed

hey @hushed bronze does stuff rotated (including Z axis) & rescaled show up correctly for other people without the mod? if so that rules and I have some cool ideas to test 😉
sorry I mean with your https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096 mod
hushed bronze
yes, as far as I know.
livid turret
oh suepr cool thanks 🙂
gotta afk but after that I'll test an idea to make flying bases look more .. logical 🙂
(than jsut hanging out in the sky)
hushed bronze
It doesn't add or modify the stock parts, only changes placement rules
modest lintel
That reminds me, I meant to ask if everything is supposed to be able to snap together with that mod? If so I can't snap paving to cuboid stuff. Was hoping to make paving path snapped to the outside of a cuboid room leading over to a paving area filled with my solar panels/batteries xD
I did figure out placement workaround in game though lol
hushed bronze
i didn't edit snaps at all
modest lintel
Ahhh right on
hearty wasp

what did they do to mods? they really crash the game if they find mods? 😄

nice apparently it's one of redmas mods that crashes the game
hushed bronze
ITS ALL THE MODS AND ALL THE CONTROLLERS
also, 2.09.4 detects if you're hopeful and positive, and crashes then, too
fluid wing
no it's redmas i find the exact file
@lime mesa This ___ONLINE_SPACE_EXPLORER_GAMEPLAY_by_Redmas.pak crashes my game
hushed bronze
Im just joking around because I hate this version's instability
fluid wing
lol
@hushed bronze Have you check if your controller is enabled in steam settings?
cause my ds4 was unchecked
idk why, steam did something
dreamy tulip
Similar to here:
It will be dynamic, that's the max possible range - but still adjusting
hushed bronze
Re you talking about the slimmer atmo effect?
fluid wing
i really don't like those effects 😦
Is your mod going to be in different paks so we can actually choose what we want?
hushed bronze
TBH i accidentally made them slim one day too, and at about half of the vanilla thinckness they look pretty amazing
dreamy tulip
@fluid wing
I am aiming for a painterly style
I'm not too interested in realism, that vectored look is going to be a possibility
But realism will be possible
It will be dynamic, so, not consistently in that way
But as I said, still adjusting
Not the final thing
hushed bronze
@dreamy tulip Would you happen to know how to control the basic default light in the sky visuals? Its separate gforom the SPACESKYCOLORS
hushed bronze
I figured it probably was.
But to be frank if its set somewhere it would be outside my ability to mod it effectively anyway, since it should be inheriting the sun color (or top color)
I definitely do not have the know-how to rewire colors that are otherwise set single colors
hushed bronze
Ive done a test where I zeroed every single bit of the spacesky palete ALL ZEROESZ. what remains is a particular white ambient directional light where the sun should be (and isnt) and the tiny stars of the starry backdrop
hushed bronze
Its a bit of a problem if you want to overrule it with a very exact colored ambience in mind, because the white basic underlying light that isnt in the pakette is out of the palettes control (ofc)
dreamy tulip
I'm not sure. I believe that it is likely shader based, or handled somewhere in the skyglobals
hushed bronze
Globals is possible but even if its there it can't be reconnected to a palette-based override, that would be waaaay beyond my coding skills
(Same problem we have with night colors TBH)
dreamy tulip
If I find out, I'll let you know 🙂
Okay
So, some systems will now have a procedural amount of light fog - with planets that you can observe (without the mysterious look) but slightly improved blending:
And some systems, a procedural amount of slightly denser fog with planets that do have the mysterious look but still blend
Working on horizon thickness now
hoary drum
That is some nice fog. It's cool how you are making it to where you can sometimes see what's on the planet and sometimes not be able to see anything at all
dreamy tulip
@hoary drum Thanks man. I'm aiming for the best (or balanced to say) of both styles

With MultiVerse
dreamy tulip
Oh that? I've just begun with it (starting a month before NEXT hit)
I've done a massive amount of things but I have a massive amount of things to do
Because my standards are very high
And I'm excited
This dynamic space stuff is a component from it actually, alongside other things in that large change log
But I'm polishing this stuff quick for a newer dynamic space release
hoary drum
Thats fine. Take all the time you need to complete the vision you have for the game
dreamy tulip
Thanks man. However, I have alpha testing and stuff where I'll be pushing out progressive updates to it
I haven't started working on biomes on Beyond yet
I'm prioritizing everything around them visually and mechanically first
If I can make the vanilla game look eye candy
Then that will benefit what I do later on
I'll take ahold of those improvements and build on top of them
hoary drum
Sounds good
dreamy tulip
However, the stuff I did pre-Beyond on Next - Visions is still present
I just haven't set the tool to regenerate them yet
hoary drum
Its crazy how you still have so much to work on for MultiVerse. I can only imagine how crazy it will be when it's done
dreamy tulip
The thought of that really excites me
Because the possibilities are endless
And it's a great learning experience along the way

@dreamy tulip Hey Ray, you seem to be extremely invested in a certain artstyle. I've been curious about the old shows or books that are the source of HG's initial conceptual base. Do you have any good links to that stuff?

Do you mean scifi that HG's was inspired of?
Porting over pre-release visuals that fit the toxic biome's rings: https://i.imgur.com/Bqbi8oh.png

Heck
Why don't I just port over the palettes for them period
lol
Not just the rings
Yeah, let's goooooo!
hushed bronze
well you get 64 palettes for just about everything, port away 😄
dreamy tulip
Yessir
52 indexes (of different palette categories) with 64 palette slots each
They get loaded in a particular way
My software loads a relevant base palette file as a template and implements my changes on top of it
So, for Phlek (which was a pre-release toxic biome)... it loads the vanilla toxic biome's palette file and implements my dynamic changes on top of it
To make up for what I don't change
But it'd still be good to implement the full package
dreamy tulip
Just finished the visuals of 'Phlek'
Extracted 210 colors from the ign video
Will be applied to the toxic biome
Actually, I'll test quick

I've seen that post before, with the game how it is now it doesn't seem like a good thing to do. I was hoping the simpler method of installing mods would become an option for VR users eventually
marsh eagle
Why is it not a good thing to do ? Dowload the tool, enter nms path in textfile and hit EnableMods.bat. Done
dapper venture
because we're editing the game's PCBanks directory instead of running the mods through a separate mods folder the way the game was designed to handle mods. Makes the game even more unstable, probably causes even more problems in multiplayer

VR problem was probably fixed by today's experimental build, Fixed an issue where the Mod Warning and Low Disk Space Warning could cause a softlock in VR. so no need for that old bad way of doing mods any more.
marsh eagle
Can someone confirm this?
And @dapper venture for the game and its stability there is no difference if you load your mods from an existing pcbank pak or from a MOD folder pak. More multiplayer problems ? No wrong not more than you would have when running your mods "normal".
And you can always revert back to original with one click one Disable.bat

@marsh eagle yes I just tested
You can run mods in VR just like on flat screen now
marsh eagle
All my work on the tool for nothing 😅
But thats really good news thanks @hallow pumice
hallow pumice
Nah not for nothing
I got good use out of it, thanks for the tool ❤
marsh eagle
I will rename the tool to silent mod enabler. At least it removes the mod warning screen in case people need it. And with the IntroLogoSkip mod allows ultra fast game boots 😉
dreamy tulip
@marsh eagle Removes the mod warning screen?
Used to hack the exe for that
Is it possible to just use that aspect of it?
As I don't use VR yet
marsh eagle
Yeah in pancake it runs without mod warning too so there is still use for it
BTW I cannot post my cool experiment mods here which I do not upload anywhere on the web. Also I cannot post pictures in this channel ?

@marsh eagle - I've given you modder role, I know you're legit. You should be able to share screenshots in this channel now.
marsh eagle
Wonderfull thank you !
Currently I'm working on a creature detector mod. It will come with a new technology for your suit. If you have it, it will depending on its upgrade level show you messages ingame when creatures are near you. For example: "T-REX detected in 100m range". It will work for all creatures and even sentinels. Might be interesting for creature discovery list completers 😉
The detection distance will depend on the tech upgrade level
dreamy tulip
@marsh eagle Sounds cool. I'd check it out
dapper venture
@marsh eagle While I understand your method does work, and I never said it didn't, I would prefer not to use it because...
"If you are modding the game, please don't modify any of the bank files located in the PCBANKS folder. These are the banks No Man's Sky ships with, and modifying them makes it impossible for the game to detect if you have a corrupted installation.
Any mod banks should go into a subfolder of PCBANKS, called MODS (this folder does not exist by default, so you'll need to create it). All banks in the MODS folder will be mounted when the game starts up."
Because of all the bugs and patches coming in I specifically would prefer to install mods the way they were intended to be installed.
marsh eagle
Ok 👍🏻 all good now

Another mod idea I may start working on: A robo dog companion mod. Basically the sentinel robo dog always following you. The dog can have an inventory too that you can access and he can attack hostile creatures for you. How ? Copy an instance of the sentinel dog, removing the code that forces him to attack player but still allowing him to follow the player at all times. Maybe with a creaturecomponentdata and making him automatically feeded so that he uses the standard creature "I like you and follow you behaviour". We can also add an interaction to the dog that makes him wait at current position. And of course rideable. Making him kind of an "basebuilding item" internally can guarantee that he is stored in the savefile and always appear on save load. What do you think ?

this on the other hand looks amazing
how come there's grass on the other side of the river
dreamy tulip
Here's a better look at where I am
The grass right now is the game's vanilla way of generating it. Those are the terrain ground textures that happen to be calling from the grass atlas texture. I haven't started biome modding on Beyond yet, @fluid wing
fluid wing
it legit looks like grass
fluid wing
there it needs grass fix 
dreamy tulip
I'm considering adding something of my own
But I don't know if I prefer to save it for the Multiverse
It's more refined than any grass fix released and it goes beyond grass
hushed bronze
Impossible! It simply can't be done.
rigid obsidian
heh, made a mod that makes larval cores give 500 nanites...a tad op xD
hushed bronze
Why not just make it a cool mil
rigid obsidian
i mean...i could lol
dreamy tulip
It can be done.
rigid obsidian
1 core for 1 mil nanites...idk if you could run out of that in a year xD
i mean, if each upgrade was like 600 nanites, itd take you 1600ish times before you run out
dreamy tulip
Regarding going 'beyond grass', what I meant is that grass isn't the focal point of what I call 'seamless generation' . However, grass certainly is pushed the furthest that it can go (beyond the distance of any released mod) at the moment. However, all things in-game are affected, including terrain and creatures and weather and various other things.
A near consistent in-game universe, where everything feels as though it was always there and always will be there.
You can see dense forests to the other end of the planet
There is no pop in, but there is near invisible fade.
The only thing that you can see 'fade' in, would be the grass in this case (because the game engine handles it differently), but even that extends far (and blends). I've made graphical improvements to make the blending very subtle, so that it is at a point where you begin to forget that the game even generates. You almost can't see it.
An example of seamless generation would be in 'Green Forest'
lime mesa
My GPU would die haha
jolly stag
The real question is, with his Multiverse generation if he is rendering the grass , trees and such differently so they load in more easily or just hard coding it so the stuff is allowed to render to the full extent, at which point you run into load issues. Even if he does just allows stuff to render further, thats not necessarily bad. He just couldnt sell it as the normal performance youd expect 😄
dreamy tulip
jolly stag
Out of curiosity. Would the distribution pattern have anything to do with the higher render distances. I notice your spacing is very even and systematic
I could see that speeding up the rendering process
Visually less objects on the screen, but it appears denser due to proper allignments.
dreamy tulip
@jolly stag Hello. Although there is dynamic distribution, that is not the cause.
jolly stag
So its something more along the line of your smutzing how there engine handles the proc gen
Impressive
Either way, looking forward to trying Dynamic space.
dreamy tulip
That's correct.
I am working on v1.3 for 'Dynamic Space'. The changelog is about half the length of the first (so far) and I will make the mod page visible again. It includes a lot of new features, crucial fixes, and general improvements.
lime mesa
Ahahahah I doubt we'll getting better performance with his multiverse mod
I lagged harder than vanilla on his overhaul V10 beta mod when he claimed it would boost performance
dapper sky
anyone know of a mod that just increases the spawn of exotics and s-class, but doesnt bring in models that arent from that system\
dreamy tulip
@dapper sky I don't. However, it should be possible via the solarsystemglobals.
By the way, have you seen any on Beyond or even NEXT? 🤔
The last time I saw an exotic ship was on Atlas Rises. I wonder if they are still around in the base game.
prime jasper
@dreamy tulip they are
dreamy tulip
Thanks. That's nice to know that they're still around.
prime jasper
I got a squid within the first 10 minutes at a space station before i had any mods after beyond update
dreamy tulip
Oh, nice.
dreamy tulip
Okay, I see... I haven't seen one in forever. But then again, I don't really go into the space stations much
Also, haven't had much time to play post AR
Have been working on things
eternal elm
hey guys, since beyond just came out and a lot of mods are being updated, is there a way to disable shadows by going through the game's local files?
or maybe re there performance mods for beyond that i don't know about it? i tried running with some older mods and it didn't work
hushed lichen
Is there a mod to make planets not so "samey" ? I have no impetus to explore a planet for more than a few minutes or so. I tried Fantasy, but found it made resource collecting nearly impossible due to various needed resources just not appearing on planets.
dreamy tulip
@hushed lichen 'RaYRoD's MultiVerse' will create a consistently unique (while remaining gameplay consistent) and stylish in-game universe, plus a lot more.
Here is one 'dynamic' environment from it: https://youtu.be/leTmsz72pUM
And if you wanna know more, I wrote a bit of info of it at the bottom of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/crziq9/how_to_use_mods_in_vr_with_no_mans_sky_beyond_on/
I'm still developing it, but expect something revolutionary to No Man's Sky (by the time it's done).
hushed lichen
I will check it out, thasnk you. Does it make the planets not the same across the entire thing? That's mostly what I am looking for. I mean it feel like when I land I know the entire planet.
dreamy tulip
It will do that yes. Not just (different planets being different) but individual planets being extremely varied. 🙂
hushed lichen
oh excellent
