@naive moth
This one will make AI ships not go to your base. They will not use your landing pads as a destination. (Rename it or whatever, it is a personal mod that I haven't named yet.)

📎 Atemp1.pak

#

This one will let AI ships land on your base pads.

📎 MOD_DUD_AiShip_v2311.pak

@naive moth
If trying to get ships to land at your base there are some things to consider.
AI ships spawn in groups.
All ships in a group of AI ships will choose the same pad to land at. It will be the closest pad to where they are when they choose a pad. The first from the group will land while the rest circle, then after the first takes off the next one will land.
When you are not in your ship, the game treats it as an AI ship in many respects. Because of this, if your ship is on a pad and the AI chooses that pad to land at, the group will circle forever waiting for the "AI" ship that is there (your ship) to leave. You must move your ship off that pad for them to start landing.
Without the mod, AI ships will never land in most cases because the available pads are effectively at zero.
The way I have found to get them to land every time without having to move your ship is to do one of 2 things: Either move your ship off of the pads entirely (summon it to ground/regular terrain), or make a set of 5 pads like this:

AI

AI P AI

AI

Where you have your ship always parked on the "P" pad and the others surrounding it are always open for AI ships. This will basically surround your ships pad with other pads and not let the AI ships ever choose the pad your ship is on. (They always choose the pad closest to them on approach) Your pad at that point will never be closest to them, therefore it will never be chosen.

I don't want to do that out of respect for others that are hosting that type mod. Also, I already host enough mods. Updating, keeping track of info, etc. for those mods is enough work for me. I have probably 20 mods that are not hosted for those reasons.

naive moth Mar 9, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

@steel crypt Thanks a lot for the explanation. For me, ships simply never land at all. Even if I put my ship on solid ground and place down 10 landing pads, they won't land on any of them. That's why I was looking for a mod to fix this, because it's been a bug for quite some time now and HG seems not to be bothered fixing it anytime soon

hushed bronze Mar 9, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

@naive mothdid you get in your ship and take off from the pad or did you resummon with the q menu?

#

The q menu doesn't trigger the landing pad to switch into being "open" it just stays "occupied" because the q menu doesn't cause any internal takeoff trigger that the pad can recognize

#

And iirc the oldest pad is the only one ai look for normally so the game would just see an "occupied" pad and 10 irrelevant pads. @naive moth

naive moth Mar 9, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

No I didn't do anything with the pads at all. Even just landed my ship and started constructing an entire new base with several landing pads without ever using them. NPCs simply won't land

hushed bronze Mar 9, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Also of traders don't spawn at all in uncharted or abandoned sustems

naive moth Mar 9, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

Ye that much I know. But they're spawning just fine for me. They just won't land, that's all. The not landing part isn't the worst of it. It's just the annoying sounds of the constant circling around

steel crypt Mar 9, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

@naive moth without the mod, you will never get NPCs to land in 999/1000 cases. In vanilla, the NPC ships will effectively never land. With the mod, you will get them to land like they have since the beginning of the game. It's just that there are rules even with the mod that they follow.

#

And yeah, the way HG has it set up right now for spawning and landing with groups etc. is BAD. There are a couple simple rule changes with the code they already have that would fix it. I have sent bug reports with suggestions etc. to HG several times.

naive moth Mar 9, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

@steel crypt Ye that makes sense. I hope it'll be fine for the base I'm making. You can check a screenshot of that in #nms-photomode-gallery 🙂 I think it'll be fine in most of the times

vale iron Mar 9, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

I've occasionally seen multiple NPCs landing at the same time recently. I'm guessing it only happens if two different NPC groups spawn in different locations.

steel crypt Mar 9, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

That’s what I’ve seen Gumsk. If you get 2 groups spawning that happens. It really depends on the location of your base. And the spawn timers and how long a group has been at your base. You made it so they stay longer right, so it increases the chances of that.

hushed bronze Mar 9, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

Thats interesting, like you mean the ship spawn zones are dispersed and I could build a base that baits more than one AI to land at a time?@steel crypt

vale iron Mar 10, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

Build under a couple of trade routes. I'm pretty sure they spawn on those and do scans for possible destinations from there. At least, that's what the variables sound like

#

Yes, mine stay maybe 50% longer. It used to be more, but I turned it down.

hushed bronze Mar 10, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

hmm. Last time I personally tried to check if trade routes did anything they did not, but several have seen other results so maybe I need to test again

vale iron Mar 10, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

I'm just going off the variable names, so it could easily be wrong :)

hushed bronze Mar 10, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Any chance either of you know my main-channel question?

steel crypt Mar 10, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

I’m not really sure how the spawn locations are picked. There are timers for the spawns though. I know I have put pads in a lot of different locations on a planet to try to see if they are different. A particular location will have certain spawn locations a certain distance from the pad. Build high enough and you can see them spawn. It might spawn randomly in a radius from the pad and be limited by terrain? Not sure.
Gumsk I know what you’re saying about the variables and the trade routes. I have seen evidence that a “trade route” is how they describe it also when they fly ships randomly overhead in groups. It might be saying that as it spawns a group that fly overhead, they are always looking X distance for a pad. Not sure.

#

I don’t think NPC ships are spawned to land at your pad, but rather they are spawned for randomly flying around and then they get sucked into your pad by the game rules. When they spawn, they always fly that random ship way until they go to an exact distance from the pad and then choose to turn around and land. Or continue forward to land.

vale iron Mar 10, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

Yeah, exactly that. They have a scan range that seems really high. I tried cranking that up much much higher, but it didn't get me more NPCs

steel crypt Mar 10, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

@vale iron I’ve been trying to understand why NPCs go to trade posts a lot more than the outpost or player pads. Might be exe but I was looking for anything. Haven’t found anything yet.

@steel crypt the overhead flybys are handled by the experience spawn table

steel crypt Mar 10, 2020, 9:04 PM

@hushed bronze I got a mod for you to do LOL
I think it is possible after looking at a few things. The landing pad you can build can be made to not "attract" NPC ships. So, we'll then call that the personal landing pad. Then another pad can be created that has settings so that you can't auto-land on it, it can be set to "attract" AI ships. This new pad then has to be made available as a blueprint from the vendor, and made to be available in the build menu. All looks possible. Effectively in the end you would have 2 pads available to build, 1 for NPC 1 for player. I don't want to do it, too much work. So there ya go, no problem, now you can make it and I can enjoy. Thanks.

hushed bronze Mar 10, 2020, 9:19 PM

I've actually imagined something basically identical to that and you're right, seems possible, bit it's a LOT of stepps... I'll look into it after my exams :)

I am trying to decode the save game file. So far its moving along pretty nicely. I have gotten it to go through its tree structure and name each "branch", although that name is actually the name if its first property.

I know it has been done several times before, but not sure what the best way would be to get in contact with the ones that have been decoding the save file and making it possible to edit, like the ones who made No Mans Connect

#

Anyone know of places or people that can help me maybe?

heavy merlin Mar 10, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

Uh, what do you mean by decode?

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Reading it. I am writing a tool that reads it and makes it into objects and such that can be analyzed

#

Its pretty much a JSON file, that they compressed slightly

heavy merlin Mar 10, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

It's json, so just reading that with a..

#

So turning the 3-letter key names into something more readable?

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Also that, but first since its not just json, but cleaned a bit to take up less space, I cannot use some regular json parser... especially also since I do not have class names for the stuff in the file yet.

#

well, classes overall. To hold all the data and make it usable

#

There was made a decrypter tool for a command line save editing tool years ago, and it still seems to be what they use for the No Mans Connect tool

#

I am hoping to remake that decrypter to start with and then share how I did it so that others wont need to rely on his tool, and then I want to see how to further dig into the data

heavy merlin Mar 10, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

The save was actually encrypted a long time ago, that stuff won't be needed now.

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Ahh

#

That explains things, I was wondering why it kept being claimed it was encrypted... so No Mans Connect just keeps it around for legacy save files?

heavy merlin Mar 10, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

I guess so

#

And other than the extra byte on the end of the file, it's normal json as far as I can see, and python's json library can load it fine without any changes.

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I can load it fine as well, but its not enough to load it. I also need to create data files to store the data in. Also I am using C#

heavy merlin Mar 10, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I'd just parse the parts you're interested in, rather than trying to represent the whole (mostly-useless) lot.

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

First I need to figure out how to ignore the useless parts, which for now is the inventory, ships and such, I want the discovery stuff and locations

#

But I figured I might as well store that stuff somehow for later, and then focus on the stuff I want to analyze

#

Right now I am trying to make it all into dynamic collections of stuff, to figure out how structure and create the different classes for storing the save file data

#

I first just tried using the JSON.net plugin and the ability to make it all into dynamic objects, but... that does not make much sense to work with. So I am making a custom parser

#

I have parsed it into the big tree structure, but without taking properties and collections into account, so it did not tell me much. I think the 3 character names used to be much longer? So figuring out what they are a code for would be nice. In some cases it can be deduced from looking through the file... but mainly it would be nice to try to save some time doing this. Converting galaxy addresses will probably also be a problem without some help. But one of my goals is to try to calculate distance between galaxy addresses, and I do not think I have to convert them to do that.

#

Hmmm, I think the NMC source code got what need to deserialize it all better

vale iron Mar 10, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

@steel crypt I was thinking exactly what @hushed bronze was; it would be nice, but take a lot of work and not work for multiplayer would it? Also, would that let us get multiples landing and more frequently than with the autofill flag we can flip now?

#

I'm wondering if maybe we could make multiple new versions, if one NPC would land at each type, but I'm guessing from what we think about how they choose destination, it would leave us with them all trying to use one pad and circling like now

tardy widget Mar 10, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

Ahh, even better. I just found that the NMSCoordinates tool is made in C# and he managed to use QuickType to extract the classes from JSON

steel crypt Mar 10, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@vale iron I would have to think about that for a minute. I'm not sure what would happen in multiplayer. I wouldn't know how to or if it's even possible to make multiple versions. The only thing that having a "player" pad and a "NPC" pad does is make it where the NPCs will never choose a pad you're on. I think if you want to increase (not sure about this) the amount of ship spawns that might land at your base, you will have to increase the "flyby"s. Which would mean you would get a lot of them randomly overhead as you are anywhere on the planet. I wonder how that works....like is it taking the ruleset from the player that placed (owner) the pad in multiplayer? That's an interesting question.

#

That's also why I was trying to look for anything that determines how they land at a trade post because there they don't wait, they all land on open pads.

hushed bronze Mar 10, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

It should work in MP but its one of those things that would create upload-incompat parts, so only freinds with the same mod have a real shot at being able to see things right

So I see in the save editor, that you can drastically increase your storage container size from 20 to 48.
Has anyone done that recently, and is it safe to do so? The reason why I'm asking is there's a video explaining how to do it 6 months ago, and quite a few people were saying the containers became unstable and stuff.
Wanna know if that risk is still a possibility.

willow hearth Mar 11, 2020, 5:30 PM

Are freighter teleporters Safe?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

Yes.

#

You cant go back to a freighter teleporter tho (It simply doesnt save a target, still safe tho)

#

But teleporting off of the freighter, you can do that all night lawng

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Is the Biofuel Reactor the only way to power it?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

The freighter produces power. You just gotta get a part down like a cube room that has both power through snap points and actual cable mounts

#

ALSO if you put down one cube room that deletes a freighter wall and makes a shitty "door", you can then put another on either side (mount them to the middle cube and not the freighter), and they will form walls that seal up most of the "door" and look actually preyy good

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Do you mean the Cuboid rooms?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

From there a lil careful positioning and you can seal up the floor space too (and yes I do mean the cuboid rooms)

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:04 AM

It says Base out of Range whenever I try to place it down

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

But there are likely a good number of ways to get the same thing, just need a connector to get a wire out of the ship

#

Are you anywhere near a planetary base?

#

That base out of range typically is an issue near planets and especially near ground bases

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

I dont see any bases, im gonna try by doing it in a different system

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

get far away from planets then

#

it can be a finicky bitch about that i honestly dunno why

#

also seems to be by far the most severe right around the Bridge area but not so much everywhere else in my experience

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

New system, same thing. Ill head deep into space and try it there

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 3:08 AM

I suspect specific freighter designs might be related but this particular issue does seem to be mod-induced. One of these days Ill find a way to sniff it out and kill it 🙂

zinc snow Mar 12, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

If its an issue with the design, this is mine

#

hold on

#

Ok so since I cant post it here, I posted it in screenshots

#

Its a short sentinel ship I think

#

I had this same problem before, it was with the plants but I had no mods installed

#

HG fixed it in one of their patches

#

lol, I got power by using one of the Square rooms

#

Works with the circular one too

vale iron Mar 12, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

because fuck that thing's annoying on the first floor

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 4:55 PM

Freighters are sometimes a bastard about parts near the bridge , yeah

#

Seems to be caused by the mod so I figure it's probably fixable with mod too.

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 4:57 PM

it's really mean about those 4-way corridors on freighters though, just on the first floor yanno

any guesses as to what that might be?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:00 PM

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

kinda sucks that there's so few basebuilding mods honestly

#

do wish there were more vanilla-compat parts but like, i can understand if that's not possible
just dont know why yet

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Part-adding mods are both enormously difficult to maintain and also tend to DQ bases from uploading and MP

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

i can imagine since you're modifying the basebuilding table its incredibly difficult to keep compat with other mods too

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

And mine is popular and potent enough that nobody really bothers trying to eclipse it as nob part-adding mods go

#

It's actually easy as hell in terms of compat, it's one file. Simply incompat with others of the same file, and that's fine :)

#

Mods that conflict are generally other very powerful mods like ULTRA or Eucliea

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

so why do part-adding mods disqualify mp uploads? is it just something HG had to implement or like, something that just happens due to invalid data or somethin

#

like, how would you go about implementing a buildable part exactly
what's the process, if youve the time to explain lol

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

Because save files contain part names, uploading causes your save data to check against the vanilla part list on server side

#

Ofc if it fails you just get rejected lol

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

failsafe, understandable

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

If you made a custom object name, who knows, it could crash a visitor

#

If they had no code for that name

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

so like, im just gonna guess that bases are saved as tables of parts of a certain angle and position relative to the base module

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

There's weird trig in the mix but basically, yes, exactly

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

and whenever you get close to a base it loads in by building up, using those part names as a place to pull from

#

if one of the names is invalid it'll throw an error and start yelling at you

#

ysee in my mind for the longest time it was like, "surely vanilla models in modded bases would work right?" and no, not really, it's a lot more complicated it seems

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

From what I've heard of others, I think the game just skips invalids outright so really it wouldn't crash if that's tru

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

yeah, fair

#

i suppose less yelling and more just a shrug and a side-eye

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

Easy to see how HG didn't want the featured filled with bases that just load as blanks for most people

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:16 PM

vocal zodiac Mar 12, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

like i understood custom models but not parts, and now its like, ohhh that makes sense
because parts are saved under their names/index and mods add parts to that index, if they dont exist then... yknow, not great

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Anyway, all that nonsense is why I decided to keep BBB focused on being an amplifier to build freedom with zero added parts for MP compat :D

@vocal zodiac Galactic headlights is old and not compatible/updated, and there are issues with it. There is a current one from Mjjstral that works but only has lights for the player ship, not NPCs.

@hushed bronze , I have GOG and a very hard time testing things in multiplayer. Do you understand what happens when you say add a custom part or add a custom part to a model? Does it simply not render for the other person (person without mod)? Or are there some known other issues?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 8:48 PM

TBH o don't know exactly but I Know enough computer science stuff from my bff

Question 2: What happens if you mod something like creature behavior....and there is a person with the mod and a person without the mod in the same place. What happens with the creature or NPC or whatever's behavior?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

A totally custom model name could be a serious issue in some places. This would be crash or non loading

#

A diff model with vanilla name (model swap) would probably be benign, showing whatever model each different player has tied to that name

#

Afaik creatures are managed all clientaide too? I don't know if that's tru bit if it is, each game would again just manage the creatures however it is instructed to

#

And each player sees a different indepemdent animal behavior decided by their own client

#

"client" being the game and code that runs on your own PC and not anything that runs over a network connection in case you didn't know.

steel crypt Mar 12, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

My ship headlight mod adds a light node to an existing model, not sure what happens in multiplayer. I played with someone one time with it and it was fine for me but I wonder what they saw.
I wonder what happens if you had NPC ships set to land more frequent at your base pad in multiplayer. If I go to someone else's base, the pad that is there has my code and the other player's code....? How would the NPC ships behave then?

hushed bronze Mar 12, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

It depends if ships are synced or not

#

If they are you would share flight patterns with the host probably

#

But it would not affect the headlights. Only mod users would get that

steel crypt Mar 12, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

right, I didn't think about them not being synced. I also didn't think about a host deciding it. Now that you say that I feel really stupid. I know that shit. I'm walking away now to bite myself on the arm for punishment LOL.
If you do happen to play multiplayer and use the headlights mod, I would appreciate you letting me know if there is something funny happening. Got an odd bug report that I can't understand....but you know how that goes sometimes.

Many modders post which internal files are editied, usually mods will be compatible if they dont fight over the same files

#

USUALLY you can count on mods with extremely different effects to play nice

#

And often mods with very similar effects will not

willow hearth Mar 13, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

I'm guessing you can't just have the mod add a new class file instead of editing out an existing one to avoid conflicts

hushed bronze Mar 13, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

It depends on the mod

#

Usually u are stuck modding an exact file with its exact filename, but some mods get the @willow hearth opportunity to cheat that a bit

lyric ravine Mar 13, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Hey. I am a newbie at making mods, I'm trying lo learn but it seems I failed. I unpack the pak file to mbin, I unpack mbin, I edit exml and pack and pack to get a pak file again. It seems, I do something wrong.
For example. I am tired of asteroids flying into my face, so I went to play with GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL. I switched all Spacing, FadeRangeMins and FadeRangeMaxs' numbers to greater, I packed and packed and got my pak file. I failed miserably, the game didn't react!
So, I started again. I just turned the asteroids off, sort off, switching AsteroidsEnabled from True to False and failed once again, those frikking things still fly into my face.
I failed again with my try to remove camera shake... That's harder, I suppose, but what's wrong with my asteroid tries? Maybe I forgot to do something in the game? Or with several game files?

steel crypt Mar 13, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

@vocal zodiac look at the readme on the download page, it has all the files it mods listed. You will have to check with your other mods to see what they change.

#

@lyric ravine there are 2 asteroid mods in DUD’S SKY on nexus. They probably do what you’re trying to do.

hushed bronze Mar 13, 2020, 9:15 PM

@lyric ravine Lo2k and I each also posted an asteroids mod. You got options 🙂

I dont think there is an updated camera shake blocker. Should I make one? (Already know exactly how)

Hm. I've seen only one, but by someone else. But thank you guys, I will check your packs, I've heard a lot of cool and positive reviews on them.

hushed bronze Mar 13, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

@lyric ravine But also when it comes to making your first mod, many modders including myself go through several hours or even a day-ish of just trying to figure out how to make a complete final product that functions at all

#

I assume you have no DISABLEMODS.txt blocking you?

#

Any missed step can create a nothing / broken mod and its hard to figure out where something is busted if its just "no response" no matter whats broken

Just for shits and giggles, is there a way to use a save editor and push a ships jumprange up to something like 10 billion ly?

#

I wanna see how far I can go before the game breaks :3

fallow meadow Mar 15, 2020, 8:56 AM

#

@vagrant bone You could alter the Base Stat for the Hyperdrive, but that's about it. I doubt it will get you to billions of light years though. Not even sure if it will stick when changed to some insane value. You'd have to find a mod or mod it yourself to possibly come close to what you want.

prime tulip Mar 15, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

the save editor will only let u go up to 1000ly on the stats

#

but if u make or download a hyperdrive distance increaser mod you can make it so u have like 1million+ ly distance

#

i made my own hyperdrive distance increaser mod but since i didnt know how the stat in the files worked (since none of them are clear on what they do) i set mine to 100K in the mod which made it ingame 1,114,000 roughly for my starships, and 1,117,000 roughly for my freighter

#

which was much higher than i intended

was using a mod pre synthesis to increase the amount of power output, i havent played for months, just had to remove it since it kept crashing my game

vale iron Mar 15, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

Without mods, setting hyperdrive to 1000 and adding all type A upgrades for all but two spots, I got 998,000 ly. I was about to break 1 million, but I had to give up the indium drive. You could easily mod to increase the bonus provided and get it to whatever value you want, but the Galaxy is 2.4 mly from one end to the other, I think. Oh, and moving through the map that far is a pain in the butt.

My Quckscan mod includes a range buff for being able to see hotspots, which can be helpful for that same issue 🙂

#

Exo, have you been able to get it over about 600 reliably? I see 600 a lot, maybe 90%, and 800u maybe 70%, but above that it drops quickly

#

I think the game just isn't loading in the poles that far out

hushed bronze Mar 15, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I think mine is set to a thousand? Seems to work fine... Anyway 600 is probably just chosen a pot for being exactly 2x the default number

#

But yeah, somewhere along those numbers, you probably exceed the distance that the game bothers tracking a HS

#

@vale iron

vale iron Mar 15, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I've got mine set at 2k. I don't think I've ever seen anything over 1200, usually not over 800

hushed bronze Mar 15, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Probably spawned in a regional config BUT also, its gonna ping the closest one, so maybe it can easily hit a 2k spot but there's always one closer?

#

You would have to additionally mod the spacing of the hotspots themselves to be very sparse to test that I would guess, @vale iron

vale iron Mar 15, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

No, I tested areas with nothing close by to get around that

#

I tried tweaking the poles, spacing, min, max, etc, but they all caused crashes

hushed bronze Mar 15, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

even so, I would say 1200 u is sufficient, especially considering its probably locked up by an exe-based region limitation

#

Just like grass and every other spawned object

vale iron Mar 15, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

I actually wanted to spread them out a lot more with long-range scanning and wide base ranges, but I don't think it's possible currently

#

And I wanted more variability. Right now it's fairly consistent about how many you're going to find in a given area

No, just figured you'd be good for brainstorming 🙂 I honestly don't know what else to try

#

I figured out some really interesting effects, but haven't been able to put it into action. Like how freighter bases don't exist until you get out in the hangar and there are some entity calls for turning the base off and on that I think is tied to that.

hushed bronze Mar 20, 2020, 10:47 AM

@vale iron So despite saying I would sleep, I instead believe I figured out what space base is

#

its the Freighter-specific parts from the NEXT expansion

#

and I believe "Buildable on SPacebase" refers to things outside that set, allowed to attach to that set

vale iron Mar 20, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

There was definitely some confusion internally about what they were calling things and what they meant to accomplish. Your idea has merit. I'll see if I can find anything. One other difference, though, is that you can label a base a SpaceBase and it behaves differently than FreighterBase

#

...what if that's why we can't build in that area right around the base flag on freighters?

#

That's part of the 'FreighterBase' area, not 'SpaceBase', and they added some weird exclusion area to the FreighterBase

hushed bronze Mar 20, 2020, 10:59 AM

Im getting this from all the freighter parts being literally in a folder called SPACEBASE

That's from really minor misalignments, like when you go into your freighter and there's an invisible wall, or you move in quickly and the item hasn't loaded yet. There's a load order, so sometimes you can go through some things but not others

actually im too lazy to toss them in asmuss to compile. so ...

still dont know whats causing the non animations for the doors..unless.. they dont animate

vale iron Mar 23, 2020, 4:12 AM

@fossil gate thanks. That usually means an improper texture reference, so I'll take a look

fossil gate Mar 23, 2020, 7:57 PM

i used nexus to install wonder if that makes a difference. all be it im sure it doesn't

i say that because none of the doors animate for me.

no i went into the dir and took out the extra's of the options i didn't want. so its not loading the 20 versions of the visor colors 😉

i mean come on! just because it took me a year to realise there where dupe's in the dir before finally removing them doesn't mean it had ANYTHING to do with the stuttering or conflicts lmao

That's part of it. The mod also apparently makes changes to the entrance and landing pads. There are also different banner and flooring variations so it won't always be the same

@heavy oar MOD_DUD_Clouds_v2271.pak is a cloud modifier (description above it.). MOD_DUD_NoHighClouds_v2221.pak is to remove the high 2D clouds only. Keeps the newer 3d clouds.

Fair misunderstanding

#

But this is #nms-modding after all

vast flare Mar 26, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

So, how does mod and version compatibility generally work in this game? Do small patches tend to break things like biome/visual mods?

hoary drum Mar 26, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Pretty much. Updates tend to change certain files and it breaks the functionality of mods relating to those files. Some mods last longer than others because the files that the mod corresponds to doesn't end up getting changed

obsidian tree Mar 26, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

if the mod author uses AMUMSS then the mods are generally more resistant to game updates as they can be updated quickly and easily (generally time just depends on me updating MBINCompiler...)
In general it's hard to know what update will break what, but rule of thumb, big updates => everything breaks lol

vale iron Mar 26, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

We're in version 2.3.3. As an example, minor updates like from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 don't usually break much. Moderate upgrades, like from 2.2.x to 2.3.x break a lot, probably most. Major upgrades like the single one we've had from 1.x to 2.x break practically everything.

vast flare Mar 26, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

I see.

#

Also, more general question, but how do I downgrade my game?

#

Seems that a lot of major mods are only up to Synthesis at best and I got (though I don't really want) Living Ships.

#

And apparently, something in Living Ships has broken Project Atlas.

#

nvm, found the relevant tutorial

vast flare Mar 27, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

and the relevant tool, because apparently you can't download things using Steam's own console any more.

vale iron Mar 27, 2020, 12:28 AM

Yeah that just changed about a month ago I think. I don't remember what is in project Atlas or if they were using AMUMSS

vast flare Mar 27, 2020, 4:54 AM

in the "GCAISPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.EXML" is the line "FreightersAlwaysAttackPlayer". If i set this to true, does that mean that really every freighter attacks the player? And if so, is it then somehow possible to get a new freighter anymore?

hushed bronze Mar 27, 2020, 12:44 PM

Maybe, its possibly deprecated or only usable with dev debugs or something. In any case Its not a feature I would want so Ive never tried it. Try it.

Yes with freighters always attack player set to true, you cant even enter your own freighter.

@hushed bronze @vale iron It makes the freighters always attack back if shot including the players freighter. So basically it makes the players freighter attack the player if shot.

@hushed bronze could you tell me what values i need to edit if i just want to increase the sell price for items by all traders?
Also i would have one more question: If you warp jump, sometimes technologies get damaged. But the ones in the technology-inventory tab will never get damaged. do you know which file i need to edit to change that?

hushed bronze Mar 28, 2020, 12:00 AM

@odd stag I highly recommend getting the psarctool. It'll let you unpack individual pak files. That way you can download existing mods and unpack them.

I'm not explaining well I think. Assume I have a cheese value that is used to determine how happy I am, which starts at 100. There's a screen that displays that cheese value. I double the cheese value to 200 and am twice as happy, as expected, but the screen says that my cheese value is now negative 41765.

It’s hard to deal with especially if you’re new to the subject

the nomansskymods website seems kinda dead rn, any reason why?

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

Personally, I only use nexusmods. It felt a little more convenient and I'm too lazy to keep two sites up to date

rigid tapir Mar 30, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

On either site, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of updates for living ship. Any reason why?

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

How many is not many? I count about 100 updated since Living Ships came out on Nexus

#

updated or published

#

I think most of us that were going to update, did so within the first week and a half or so. After that, a lot of people have been working on big projects.

hushed bronze Mar 30, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

There's also the fact that many mods dont need updates after every NMS update

lime mesa Mar 30, 2020, 6:56 AM

#

Really? Huh

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Has anyone tried multiplying every number in the cuboid geometry by 10 to see if that works?

#

Or maybe 4 to be more realistic

hushed bronze Mar 30, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

why, to scale it?

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

Yeah, I want a huge cuboid so I can build the Burj Khalifa. Scaling them up manually screws up snap points

hushed bronze Mar 30, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

might be better to start learning how to make custom parts

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

Nah, a huge cuboid would show up for other people

hushed bronze Mar 30, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

nah not if the scaling was mod side

#

then it would just look like a reggo cube to most ppl

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

Oh, right, it would need to have the scale recorded as higher, not the size recorded as higher

#

damnit, how do I get big pieces and proper snap points that show for other people?

Fix it then, GOL

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 9:21 AM

Woohoo time to test some lights

Lights are working. Made a script with all the buildable light scenes and variables at the top for changing all the bits

Now I need to find the non-obvious scenes

@hushed bronze is it possible to change the behaviour of drones so that they will attack you each time they scan you?

@naive moth This is my folder for my last version.
_MOD_DUD_StandLightBright_v2221
-Stand type lights are brighter and have more range.
-Includes buildable lights and lights at trade stations and other buildings that use a stand type light.

Don't know if this might help you with anything, but here ya go.

@steel crypt Thanks a lot m8! I'm sure that'll help a LOT in the work I'm doing. If you don't mind me using it ofc 😄

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

I don't care if you use anything of mine. You can use anything in DUD'S SKY and DUD'S SKY - COLORS on Nexus if you want also. (Also I don't need all that credit jazz, just use it as you wish)

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

Alright. Still it wouldn't be nice not to ask, haha

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

If you do anything with colors or stuff like my mods, I might have other resources I have made like color palette .png s and other junk that I used/made while doing the mods. I can give you any of that you want.

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Your idea of the nested linear and quadratic lights sounded really interesting. I need to look at that tomorrow

#

Oh I assume you saw the screenshot of the anomaly with the lights off. Did you notice the slight white haze? Any idea what that is?

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

It might have a performance impact on a mass scale? (the nested lights) so I didn't make the buildable ones have that. I just did it for the trade stations and outposts. But I don't know if they will even have a real performance impact or not.

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

Perhaps if I end up working with that. But I'm mostly just looking at what you did to get myself familliar with the values, that's all 🙂 I'm a full stack software engineer in life so I'm sure I can handle most of it myself. Just need to understand the system, that's all😅

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

Yeah sure. what pic?

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

I'm even thinking about making a little tool in C# that'll automate all the decompiling / compiling so I dont have to drag those files around all the time

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

there is a "modding station" that I use. Are you familiar with it?

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

The most recent pics in there

#

Modding Station is a must

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Ye I use that one as well, but the modding station doesn't seem to decompile / compile the mbin files automaticly. Though I might simply not have taken a look at all its options yet

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

and you're saying there is a general really light white haze in the nexus right?

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

In maybe half the pictures

#

More noticable out by the Nexus

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

I mean you right click to compile and double click to decompile

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Ah.. that might've been useful to know earlier.. lol

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

you have to choose the compiler you want to use currently in the settings first.

#

brbr

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

Ye I did set all the settings

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Okay, the white (and I think we are talking about the same thing...like a subtle general haze) is caused by the LUT or "post process" filter (similar to a planet filter or storm filter or screenshot menu filter). The Nexus has it's own filter. That filter brings out orange hues, blue hues, and has a subtle white on top for like a desaturation. That filter can be changed to another if you wish.

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Ahh ok, so I'm not imagining it. That sounds exactly like what I'm seeing. I guess it's just not as noticable with the lights turned on

#

Thanks!

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

You can change that to the default one very easily (or any other filter in NMS) You can also make a custom LUT and replace it. It took me a long time to figure out how the hell to do that. (I made custom biome filters to add to the game) If you really want to make a custom one, I can show tell you how, but be ready to sit and learn for a bit. It's not super easy lol.

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

I really appreciate the offer, but maybe another time. 1am here :)

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Hey all, checking to see if there is a up to date mod for the Roamer that works with the current game version to speed up the roamer.

#

anyone know?

lime mesa Mar 30, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

Possibly, ask IceCub

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

ok

lime mesa Mar 30, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

He's generally pretty experienced in the subject- as well as Gumsk

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

@naive moth do you know of any up to date working current version roamer performance mods that exist?

#

I've tried them all that i know of but I keep getting the floaty-roamer

lime mesa Mar 30, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

Yeah, I've seen that a lot

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

It sucks because the last time i remember playing this I had it working and it was awesome! HUGE jumps and speed

#

but now the roamer sucks by default

#

with my WeMod also I can just jetpack much much faster than any current vehicle not including my ship

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

I'm not entirely sure what you mean with "roamer"?

#

I mean, I barily actually played the game. Just spending most of my time building or modding lately 😛

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

the little off-road one

#

isn't that called roamer or no?

#

4 wheels

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

You mean one of the exocrafts?

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

Yeah

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

What kind of mod are you looking for with that? As in, what should it do?

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

The one I used before increased boost and drive speed and jump power making it easy to get about 30-40 seconds of airtime per jump and making it a lot more practical for long distance travel across planet

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Check ggame or gplayer

#

I think ggame has it

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

Alright, DM me the mod you used. I'll probably be able to figure out what it did and update it

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

ok

#

It was from NexusMods I'll link it to you

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 4:24 PM

That sounds like my GGame Orbital :)

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:24 PM

OMG that one changes raomer performance? Tracked that mod!

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:28 PM

I'll have a look at it. See if it's reasonably easy to update. Don't want to spend too much time on other stuff while I'm working on the lights mod

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

If you want something, just let me know (with details) and I'll make it in the morning and put it in the optional files.

#

Mine are constantly up to date, no worries there

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

no worries, thank you for what you do I appreciate you sir!

#

I'll give that one a try

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 4:30 PM

I actually turned them down a little today for balance, but test it and let me know what you want different

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

I will do fo sure I just want my roamer to be practical like to be able to cover long distances with speed

#

Anyone else here currently use the up to date WeMod for NMS? Very very handy tool

vale iron Mar 30, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Do not unfortunately

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

I don't like to do too much, just the jetpack mods but I don't like stuff like lots of units or materials I like to just play the normal game half the fun is working hard to get stuff

Is it possible to add ship models to the ship-rooster? So for ex. a ship has the chance to spawn with for ex. a sentinel ship skin?

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

@dull isle Seems there are a ton of changes made by that mod. So many that I don't know which ones are done by the mod and which ones are actually game updates. I can try updating it, but the results might end up being way off

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Is there a way to get just the roamer changes?

#

and no worries

#

If I can't at least update roamer performance i probably won't use it in-game it's too impractically slow from vanilla

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

I'll have to figure out what the roamer is called inside the code, but once I do, I'll probably be able to just try changing that one

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

roamer is buggy

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:53 PM

That would be amazing thanks! I can't really thank you enough it's a needed change

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:54 PM

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 4:54 PM

"Buggy"

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:54 PM

and the boost needs to be much longer

or the speed better by default

I have a HUGE attention span so I could make really really good mods

#

Seems like there is a LOT of learning to cover

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

You might be able to use this and see what variables I changed. It makes the exos more realistic to me ...several changes per exo. It doesn't speed anything up, but the variables to do all what you're trying to do will be changed, so you can know what ones to maybe mod for that.

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

I just want to be able to fully customize my ship as a main one like in and out. New seats,, new colors, new paint, new body

#

I will try that thanks Jasondude

#

Like I wish there was an RGB factor for ship paint and for all custom colors in game tbh

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

there is

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

not a mod?

#

I haven't explored all the updated features yet but I intend to

#

since last I played

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

none that i know of. Some modders including me try to not do that because people use the seeds for a ship to share ship designs and modding that will make those "not work".

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

I do have a seed applied, but it would be nice for a truly custom design

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

What I'm saying is you can change the colors in the palette that the game uses to choose colors for a ship. Not a in-game "customizer"

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

oh I see

#

is that from the save editor?

#

or something else?

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

no, that would be in the game mbins

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

interesting

#

I'm gonna have to look into that

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

there are color palettes for everything pretty much

#

I have never changed ship palettes, but they are there.

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

I thinking something like NoMan'sSky meets Forza Horizon 3 paint shop

#

for user designs that's be cool!

steel crypt Mar 30, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

Many people would like that. You're not going to make a mod like that unless somehow you could use the logic and models etc from the suit customizer to do it. If possible, it would be stupid to figure out.

dull isle Mar 30, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

lol too true for me and you

naive moth Mar 30, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

@dull isle There you go, that should mod the Roamer the same way as that mod did. Haven't tested it though so lemme know

Nothing is that simple tho

olive shoal Mar 31, 2020, 1:35 AM

would it be possible to mod the pre-next monster noises back into the game?

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

@olive shoal SHould be, but sounds hard

olive shoal Mar 31, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

why is that? audio compression?

#

@hushed bronze

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

finding the files, for one.

#

Nothings ever as simple as it should be

#

Audio swaps is probably about a medium

#

def not impossible like some ideas tho

olive shoal Mar 31, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

i'd imagine files are still in the game, no?

#

granted

#

you'd still have to find them

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

THose files may be overwritten but if they're accessible at all, then old versions of the game will have old versions of the files

obsidian tree Mar 31, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

just a reminder for anyone wanting to do audio mods, you can only do replacement of sounds, not adding new ones.

olive shoal Mar 31, 2020, 2:58 AM

hushed bronze Mar 31, 2020, 3:40 AM

Are all the proc music parameters in the exe?

obsidian tree Mar 31, 2020, 3:51 AM

some is handled by the audio globals iirc

and there are some other files in the audio folder I think which handles it too
