what is the best way ? use the tool or copy in the dircetory and witch one will be the right one, to check for me

sinful anvil Nov 14, 2019, 11:00 AM

#

I use the folder creation method and have no issues

#

Mods under PCBanks you just have to ensure disablemods.txt is removed, and Steam version at least will add that txt file back in whenever the game is patched

spare laurel Nov 14, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

please copy the full path for me to check

sinful anvil Nov 14, 2019, 11:03 AM

#

No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS

#

Wherever your game is installed

#

Create a mod folder in PCBANKS and place the mods in there

spare laurel Nov 14, 2019, 11:07 AM

#

means i can directly copy all mod in pcbanks foulder ?

sinful anvil Nov 14, 2019, 11:08 AM

#

Make sure they're extracted as .pak files

#

They go in the mods folder you created in pcbanks

nothing replaced it

I'm dying to have some way of hooking a DLL into NMS and mod it at an executable/gameplay level

cinder escarp Nov 15, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

Why use mods? Isn't vanilla good? Just trying to understand.

proper sage Nov 15, 2019, 6:25 PM

#

My guess is even though we all play the same game, we are all different people. How we play the game, our ideas and opinions on what could be improved in the game, and how we prefer to do specific in game tasks, are all wanting to be executed differently.

I play to explore and build. So I use one for being able to stack more glass in my inventory. Some people play for the storyline. Some are achievement completionists. Some for the community aspect of it, and some play for discoveries.

Each one of those play styles comes with different opinions on what we think would make our personal play styles more fun, a bit quicker, or a bit more gorgeous. So we bring mods into the picture to fulfill that want.

#

@cinder escarp

#

Hope that helps a little anyhow?

@spare laurel I use mods in VR, most work fine. I am also using Vortex to install and turn them on or off. But aside from Vortex you still have to tell the game to enable them and have the mods folder.
@cinder escarp I would be bored with the vanilla game if I could not use mods. I need them to build more interesting things. But having said that, the new version handles added build parts differently. They might be permanently nerfed.

cinder escarp Nov 15, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Exactly. Mods can be fun but are bound to break when an update is released. Then there's the wait for someone to update them.
That is why i prefer vanilla.

hushed bronze Nov 15, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

@cinder escarp Some people, myself included, have played so much that vanilla inevitably becomes stale. Personally, I am an exploration player, so after visiting a few thousand planets (no, seriously), the limited variation becomes far too predictable. Mods that reshuffle things, even if they don't do a great job of it, are great for me

#

I've also made a number of my own mods, some of them specifically addressing those variation issues including my most recent which adds 50 times the number of possible ocean colorings compared to stock

cinder escarp Nov 15, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

Reshuffle? Any variation on the randomly generated stuff?

#

Just better dressing? Is that it?

hushed bronze Nov 15, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

The variation is shockingly caged. It's not half as random as you think early on

cinder escarp Nov 15, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

appart from the before mentioned increased glass stacks.

hushed bronze Nov 15, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

So veteran players after a while basically start seeing the same planets again and again and again

#

As for glass stacks, there have been a bunch of mods for stack sizes improvement

#

None specific to glass tho, they're all generalist

#

@cinder escarp are you on normal mode or what?

cinder escarp Nov 15, 2019, 9:37 PM

hoary drum Nov 15, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

I absolutely agree with Exosolar. After a certain point you see the repetition of the variation and once you do it can get boring as an explorer

hushed bronze Nov 17, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

interestingly i think it might be an odd sideffect of a fix I actually like, I havent seen any misaligned plates since Beyond

#

remember misaligned plates? Those were fun

steel crypt Nov 17, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

What happens? I don't want to take time to build a base that goes funk.

hushed bronze Nov 17, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

TBH it seems more specific to buildings that were in existence in some capacity at the transition of Next-Beyond

#

but anyway if you wanna check for tilt you can just put down a wide-ish sheet of flat tiles and see if your camera lines up properly or not

#

I have yet to see any untilted buildings in beyond become tilted

#

But dont take anything Ive said about the "tilt rules" too seriously, im not an avid builder to begin with

steel crypt Nov 17, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

hmmm weird okay. thanks.

lunar roost Nov 17, 2019, 11:55 AM

#

hey guys, is there a way to replace the constant hold "e" for npc interaction and such with click E, and more importantly speed up dialogues, just make them instant ?
e.g. that checking for nanite upgrades is so tedious with the same lines of boring text scrolling down for the 100th time
preferably i would just skip the "hello" dialogue alltogether and go straight for active options buy, leave, etc.

#

ive seen that there are mods that seem to describe some of that, are they safe to use or do they prevent later online play?

why would you want to fix it

hushed bronze Nov 17, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

@spare laurel Lets just say HG seems to have flubbed it and gave up on bugfixing that issue themselves which is why it doesn't as it its

#

Rather than properly working out why the power cables and teleport cables weren't playing nice they nixed the problem at its source and now teleporters are a bit more free-to-use than they were initially meant to be

But like Dominique said, w/e its not like a game-breaker that your teleporter doesn't need juice

did it crash or did it just have no effect or what?

@steel crypt Hey, whassap? Do you use Photoshop, or something that can use the nvidia Photoshop dds plugin? The filters are 3d images (most 32x32x32, some 16x16x16). Some programs like Gimp load them as separate layers, but the nvidia plugin should load it as a single-layer horizontal strip with all the 3d layers in a row. That makes it easy to do any desired color adjustments on the whole thing at once.

I found a great way to tweak filters is to take a screenshot, and copy/paste the filter strip image into it (load the same filter that's used in the screenshot). Then you can visually make any global color adjustments to the screenshot, which will also be applied to the filter strip. Then re-copy/paste the filter part back to the dds image and save your modified filter (format: "8.8.8.8 RGBA 32bpp unsigned", with no mip maps).

Also if you find the "_True_Suns.pak" up above, I used a new trick I learned to throw the fakey-suns out of the vanilla skies and make the legitimate sun from space shine thru

smoky wing Nov 23, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

The no mipmaps is the format of the current filters. They're basically 3D cubes (RxGxB) that translate the unfiltered RGB values to new values.

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 4:17 AM

no mip, no problems 😄

Yeah I was checkin out those screens above, and in the modding discord. Very cool.

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 4:18 AM

Trick was simple. 0.9 alpha on two of the color sets, and zero-out "SunColour"

SunColour is the fakey sun. It can go die in a fire 😄

Cool stuff. I haven't been doin any NMS modding lately. Unstable updates and all. But nice to check in and see all the stuff you guys are working on

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 4:27 AM

#

Oddly enough initially I didnt like that the sunrays got pulled. No I think, while I like the rays, the other ambient fade effect they make is awful

#

and I initially liked the weird new effect somewhat but now Im disliking that too as Im starting to see more and more things that effect handles very poorly

smoky wing Nov 23, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

The sunrays is a bizarre thing. They're still in photo mode, so I still think their removal is just a bug. They were too bright though, certainly since Next made the sunlight dimmer. Or at least it appears dimmer. Might just be an effect of the new textures, and cloud shadows.

#

Hrmm... what new ambient fade effect are you referring too? The Ambient Occlusion? I really dislike the new version too - everything has halos now, and it has an annoying motion blur

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

yeah, but also the sunrays are back in their entirety for me now, I wonder if thats somehow not universal?

smoky wing Nov 23, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

Are they? Hrmm, I only see them in photo mode. Are you in experimental?

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 5:08 AM

@hushed bronze OH NO I was using my old clockfreeze mod which is based on the file before the rays were erased (I think)

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 5:17 AM

lazy corner-cutting bastards. HG needs to cycle a few of these people lol

#

IDK what happened.... somewhere between PF or AR, and NEXT, half the team just lost the will to do anything right

#

We got a single ocean color, four skies, four grass colors (with next)

#

the palettes are literally not different except for the addition of a more informative descriptor in each one

smoky wing Nov 23, 2019, 5:20 AM

The overall variety reduction is still painful to me. I really lost almost all desire to explore since Next 😦

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 5:20 AM

Even after they have buffed them several times over, its still very lacking

#

its why Im getting into these complex palette mods now tho 😄

#

yup, that's exactly what got me experimenting with them too

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 5:22 AM

Its becoming obvious to me HG has no interest in buffing variety except in cheap half-assed ways, so fuck it, its one of the things I can do myself, right?

smoky wing Nov 23, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

probably a healthier POV at this point

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 5:22 AM

#

I do hope they fix night though.... even just re-assign a proper multipalette file to it so we can mod it

#

give us two sets, IDC Ill make the rest

#

just dont hardlock it to a global ffs kill me

#

OHH at this point, rays were moved to enviro globals

#

so they are back, relocated

#

but there's not enough here to account for all of the ray function at all...

hushed bronze Nov 23, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

No graphics globasl where theyve always been

#

i confused myself into a big circle 😄

#

I am still pretty sure they were axed from a recent version temporarily so mods made at that time might persist the lack of rays

steel crypt Nov 24, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

Now you sound like me. mbincompiler hasn't worked for a hanger file I use, and it made the space station have a missing room (one that I never go in). So, I hexed it and got it working, but then updated it with the broken compiler which put the missing room back in LOL. Didn't even notice at first, because I don't go into that room. Now I go into that room just out of fear to make sure it's still there because I can't trust myself apparently.

repair ship, find some nanites and go to the anomaly to buy some critical tech like terrain manipulator
find buried technology and use them to start buying blueprints for refiner etc
head to space station to buy charts for manufacturing facilities, and buy blueprints for warp cells, dihydrogen jelly etc

I have a question that I think you people in the mod community might know more about. As some base parts have a "local area" limit like save points and Med/Large refiners, does anyone know how big this area actually is? I'm guessing it's the 50u that we presume each part has around it when you put one outside the base range.

Anyone ever tried modding it so you can build in space? Or is that hard coded

probably impossible since there would be no base reference in space and also as soon as you hit that barrier outside a freighter you count as being in space no matter what is around you

hushed bronze Dec 3, 2019, 3:46 AM

well you ask them to completely trash and rebuild the planetary system, lol

cinder valley Dec 3, 2019, 3:46 AM

#

That's complex

steel crypt Dec 3, 2019, 3:53 AM

#

Ummm slightly, but hahah
It's actually much easier than people think. First of all, the Sun thing is stupid easy (basically a planet body like they already have...in the right place). Done. (Actually has been mod tested)
Second, the orbit/roatation jazz was fairly accurately done in the orginal elite. On like .00003% CPU. This game (which is similar, but an open source project) uses slightly more accurate simulation and it did years before NMS.
https://pioneerspacesim.net/#slide0
The processing power for it and animations etc. is minimal.

#

It makes some things like finding crap trickier (gameplay stuff) but it can be compensated for the "arcade" player with things like "point and fly to" mechanics like we already have when a space station is behind a planet and you pulse to it.

#

Both of those games have almost full on orbital mechanics. It is plenty for NMS.

#

I think the planets can be exactly the same. The orbit/rotation is simply an illusion like most everything else. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a reason the planet gen would have to change.

#

I really don't ever expect HG to do it. Theirs is working as-is. I just think having played around with the pioneer code so much, it wouldn't be hard for a real coder to do (of course would need to bring back injecting the exe with a dll or something, which we had for a brief time)

cinder valley Dec 3, 2019, 4:06 AM

Yeah they dont want no injecting probably

HG would have to do a bit of an overhaul of how they handle things to make landing on moving objects possible. If you mod the game to have a landing pad (I added it to a planetary ring which I made to rotate) and it straight up freaked out lol.

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

lol

#

unlike 1000 of course

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 3:07 AM

#

I did make the thousand pretty quick though, figured out a sort of round-robin technique that works well when you know what ranges and increments you want and then want the whole rainbow stuffed in

#

basically i picked ten increments of RGB values I decided on, based on al past testing, used 0.4 as the max,
0.40
0.35
0.30
0.275
0.25
0.225
0.20
0.15
0.10
0.05

#

You might notice a bit of extra steps in the middle

#

After trialling a little i decided to swap 0.40 for 0.175

#

40 was starting to be too bright for water

#

so then I made R .40, G .40 and B .40

#

then R .40, G .40 and B .35 going down the list until I reached R 40 G 40 B 05. Then I could copy ten at a time, and change the g for the next ten values, then for red I could copy the first hundred and change the R value

#

Which literally generates a cubic pattern theat meant I only had to manually make 30 changes for the thousand palettes 😄

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 3:12 AM

#

that would take me a sec to sink my head into, but starting to follow.

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 3:13 AM

I didnt get as verbose as it probably needed to be understood easily

#

its not that complicated but explaining it is LOL

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 3:13 AM

#

and for "clearer" water, what are you doing? I played with that, but couldn't get it as clear as I think people want like the old water.

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

The most important thing for me here was that Ive already worked with and tested water colors a ton so I could have a good sense of what makes a good water palette, rather than just blasting the rainbow out of a shotgun

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 3:15 AM

#

yeah I remember spending a good deal of time on water.

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 3:15 AM

CLEARNESS basically translates to this:

  <Property name="WaterColourBase" value="Colour.xml">

    <Property name="G" value="0.0" />
    <Property name="B" value="0.0" />

A lot of mods modify "some file" that should not be modified this way anymore. It results in kinda 20x zoom or very tight FOV. The informations about this are cluttered all over the place. I can't provide you with technical details.
I can't recreate anything like this in my game. Does anyone know of a common issue, or what this user might be trying to describe? I was thinking maybe something like camera global that got changed, but I hexed everything when I updated and can't recreate any issue.

OH great choice for an early mod! 😄

#

@flint spire That's super lame, lol (Which version is it?) It's a 4.2 version, I hope?

#

@cinder valley Would you like to learn a biome-shuffling technique I learned (and tested) from WoodyMontana's mods?

cinder valley Dec 4, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

ohyah

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:02 PM

@cinder valley ok so heres what a section of the biomefilenames usually looks like:

<Property value="GcExternalObjectListOptions.xml">
  <Property name="Name" value="CRYSTALSCAVE" />
  <Property name="ResourceHint" value="" />
  <Property name="ResourceHintIcon" value="" />
  <Property name="Probability" value="1" />
  <Property name="TileType" value="GcTerrainTileType.xml">
    <Property name="TileType" value="Cave" />
  </Property>
  <Property name="AllowLimiting" value="False" />
  <Property name="ChooseUsingLifeLevel" value="False" />
  <Property name="Options">
    <Property value="NMSString0x80.xml">
      <Property name="Value" value="METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/BIOMES/OBJECTS/CRYSTALS/CAVEFULL.MBIN" />
    </Property>
  </Property>
</Property>

#

The key thing to notice is the Probability line

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

Yea its the 4.2 version

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

(Even though changing it is not required for this concept to work, its the main reason you would do this):

#

@flint spire I guess I'll have to rebuild the thing then

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

I have quite a few mods of you 😄

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

Now you can make more than one of a Category like so:
<Property value="GcExternalObjectListOptions.xml">
<Property name="Name" value="MOUNTAIN" />
<Property name="ResourceHint" value="" />
<Property name="ResourceHintIcon" value="" />
<Property name="Probability" value="0.25" />
<Property name="TileType" value="GcTerrainTileType.xml">
<Property name="TileType" value="Mountain" />
</Property>
<Property name="AllowLimiting" value="True" />
<Property name="ChooseUsingLifeLevel" value="False" />
<Property name="Options">
<Property value="NMSString0x80.xml">
<Property name="Value" value="METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/BIOMES/EXOBJECTS/SECONDARY/PLANT/LUSHWILD.MBIN" />
</Property>
</Property>
</Property>
<Property value="GcExternalObjectListOptions.xml">
<Property name="Name" value="MOUNTAIN" />
<Property name="ResourceHint" value="" />
<Property name="ResourceHintIcon" value="" />
<Property name="Probability" value="0.25" />
<Property name="TileType" value="GcTerrainTileType.xml">
<Property name="TileType" value="Mountain" />
</Property>
<Property name="AllowLimiting" value="True" />
<Property name="ChooseUsingLifeLevel" value="False" />
<Property name="Options">
<Property value="NMSString0x80.xml">
<Property name="Value" value="METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/BIOMES/EXOBJECTS/SECONDARY/PLANT/LUSHWILD.MBIN" />
</Property>
</Property>
</Property>

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

Oh there might be a problem, any mod with multiple options in the zip has the potential to do odd things, @flint spire

cinder valley Dec 4, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

oh damn, I see how that works. I noticed that earlier

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

@cinder valley Yeah notice two copies or the "MOUNTAIN" profile

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

blazing skies too 🙂

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

the identical trick works for pointers in the -BIOME files

#

@cinder valley IDK where Woody learned that or if he just tried it and guessed right or what but it works

#

@flint spire Have you seen Stratos?

#

Its a little weak on sky brightness compared to Blazing tho

#

@cinder valley Anyway I havent done anything too intricate with that trick yet, last time I just mostly tested that it was functioning as advertised, (confirmed)

#

Also Woody only used it in BIOMES files and then made those files quite traditionally so to speak. I thought on my own to apply it to biomes setup by the filenames file, and it worked there too which was pretty cool 🙂

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

what would be the point? To make 2 different possibilities....each with their own attributes?

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

Huh?

#

No, the point is if I take trees, rocks, grass, flowers and make them all their own files, I can scramble them independently

#

I can make them rare or comon independently

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

🙂 LOL Okay, I need to look at that better

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

In the code above I only have one filename listed and for that it would be kinda pointless

#

it doesnt take very many to start generating obscene variation that way

#

Why wont my fucking internet work properly!

steel crypt Dec 4, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

me too, maybe discord?

#

shite....gotta get kid from bus. see ya in a few.

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

Maybe.... seems like other stuff is doing things right

#

Anyway, yeah the possibilities behind smart usage of that probability and multiple profiles method are insane

#

later

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

@hushed bronze I like blazing tbh

#

idk what the issue is with the gras fix though

#

looked through lots

#

I had plenty of mods installed and just disabled them 1 by 1

#

and sadly the grass (which was one of the ones I really wanted) didn't work 😦

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

Its odd though because I know tons of people are using GF 4.2 vwithout trouble, (Including myself)

#

So Im thinking, it might be the specific one you're using @flint spire

#

Maybe the individual copy got corrupted, or maybe you're using the one version that crashes, or maybe 2.23 broke it and this is new 🙂

#

@flint spire Wait, was it working recently? like yesterday, the day before?

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

No

#

was not working at all

hushed bronze Dec 4, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

Have you tried other forms of the grass fix?

#

Sorry about the interrogation, just interested in the nature of the problem

flint spire Dec 4, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

I have not no

#

atm I am figuring out teleporters 😄

#

@supple wadi I genuinely wanna know how you made that particular form of lined trees, lol

hoary drum Dec 5, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

The tree things looks interesting and so does this weird terrain

supple wadi Dec 5, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

@hushed bronze if memory serves, I was experimenting with the SPAWNDENSITYLIST file found here: METADATA\SIMULATION\SOLARSYSTEM\BIOMES\PLACEMENTVALUES

#

I don't have any old mods with the value settings though, as I think I was using CheatEngine for on the fly tweaks with that

#

I could have sworn I wrote some notes for myself about it, but can't find them atm if I did. Basically I toyed around with different patchsizes & regionscales

#

What I was finding at the time, and for all I know it may still hold true, is that if you change the region scale you can space out the patches of stuff better, so you can get dense forests that are scattered about rather than entire fucking planets riddled with trees like you see in some mods

#

Because if I remember right the patch size is what tends to influence how clustered together the objects are, albeit this is somewhat modified by the coverage type, and other object settings in the biome objects files

hushed bronze Dec 5, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

Yep I had noticed some of that stuff too

#

Recently the thing I learned from Woody's mod has my attention 😄

#

(Scroll up to the huge code blocks and thats where I talked about it if you care)

#

Currently trying to "professionalize" my mods. Clearer, sectionalized descrips, noted MBINCompilers used and dates, etc

#

I'll even re-upload any Legacy mods I still have hanging around if I spot them

#

(Feel like a dip for deleting a bunch before I remembered people play legacy versions, lol)

supple wadi Dec 5, 2019, 6:12 AM

#

oof

#

yeah i just leave the old versions available

#

btw for code stuff here on discord, specifically xml chunks, you can do cleaner formatting via:
```xml
<Property value="GcSpawnDensity.xml">
<Property name="Name" value="CAVEROCKCLUMP" />
<Property name="Active" value="False" />
<Property name="CoverageType" value="SmoothPatch" />
<Property name="PatchSize" value="6" />
<Property name="RegionScale" value="5" />
</Property>```

#

E.g.

<Property value="GcSpawnDensity.xml">
      <Property name="Name" value="CAVEROCKCLUMP" />
      <Property name="Active" value="False" />
      <Property name="CoverageType" value="SmoothPatch" />
      <Property name="PatchSize" value="6" />
      <Property name="RegionScale" value="5" />
    </Property>```
