@fickle frost And I thought some people had talked about stack sizes working but IDK for sure because stack sizing is soooo far away from the type of mod or gameplay that gets my attention at all 😄

fickle frost Jun 13, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

Hmm, maybe the ones I was looking at (the volcanic beaches?) was another mod.

#

All good, haha, you mentioned it in a modding discord so I didn't know if you'd seen anything offhand.

#

I'll let you know next time I trawl through Eissentam, tho idk how to tell you if it modifies terrain?

hushed bronze Jun 13, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

@fickle frost ID'iing whether it edits terrain would mostly come down to trying with and without in the same places, but if your bases are all planted firmly on the ground, it should be golden

#

Good thing I missed all that pc parts talk earlier lol I would have had waaay too much to say

#

And dear god, @hidden shell I threw a Nehalem chip in a garbage can three years ago because it wasn't worth as much as the postage to mail it to a buyer, lol

so far ive not seen anything weird, but thats mainly bc i spent the last hour on a dead planet

Oh shoot I did have some weird base discrepancies

Idk if it was the mod tho or if I just didn't pay attention with the struts

Missing struts is a vanilla bug

I enabled LUSHHQ biome to use LUSHHQ palette in the Ground Fix. Normally irrelevant, but enables a dual palette in my color mod. (Those palettes are normally both default copies of each other and mostly inactive)

@hushed bronze, you threw a nehalem chip into bin can, and here, Nehalem CPU plays NMS locked to 60 fps vertical sync no problem. Ha! (Ha! Ha! Ha!)

#

Also, it strongly depends on the quality of the mobo it is running at. The thing that passed down for my son PC is an actual SATA3, USB 3.0 capable motherboard that was kind of top of the line at its time, allowing very good overclocking potential (which is used to full extent). also, the CPU was one of the stronger ones too, much better than middle-line of next two generations, so...

#

Anyway, testing the cliff and grass fix on two PCs - one with it, one without

given that we are playing together, will be easy to spot any troubles, I hope 🙂

Heyo Modder peoples, is there a place in save, maybe a number, or an attribute that reveals what the current status is of a saves base limit? like how much is left? etc

Can anyone confirm that Beyond Base Building is working or not right now?

jade phoenix Jun 13, 2020, 9:36 AM

I have it in my list but can not confirm, do you have a specific element that would prove it IS or is NOT working? I can test it

hushed bronze Jun 13, 2020, 10:02 AM

#

Anything. Works for me too, but someone asked for update, so Im trying to see if it needs update or not

#

Dont think it does, everything ive tried works

vale iron Jun 13, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

I'm pretty sure as well that everything should work, based on the diffs and list of global variable changes

jade phoenix Jun 13, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

I am looking at the list of what the mod does, this stands out "No build-count limits except for certain terminals, beacons and message capsules" , I was building tonight, and I was stopped cold by the base limit. I went about and tore down a few old bases and I could then build again

vale iron Jun 13, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

Grabby, do you mean the 20,000 piece global limit? I don't know of a place for that, but it should exist. Isn't there a circle when building that shows that limit in graphical form? That tells me it exists somewhere, but I know not where

#

That "build-count limits" is X/base or X/planet, not X total build items across the save

jade phoenix Jun 13, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

I was building a large Farm on a planet, I should taken a screen shot of the message, but it was the total count error message, I went to other planets in other solar systems and deleted the bases to allow me to continue building

vale iron Jun 13, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

That sounds like you hit the 20k limit across the whole save. There is no known way around that right now, unfortunately

jade phoenix Jun 13, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

thats pretty much what I figured

#

the wording in the mod brought me to my comment 😛

vale iron Jun 13, 2020, 10:17 AM

#

Yeah, there are way too many different limits!

jade phoenix Jun 13, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

that also prompted my question above, is there a place I can see the status of the 20k limit? a number in the save or?

hushed bronze Jun 13, 2020, 10:23 AM

Not necessarily. It depends what you mean by 'break' and what mods are involved

If it's a mod that lets you put down parts that normally aren't in the build menu anywhere, they won't see those parts

hidden shell Jun 14, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

@fast solstice for maximum compatibility with multiplayer, avoid mods that change terrain generation and add new build parts. Or "force" people you play with to use those, too.

#

as for things like changed behavior of enemies, it will be kind of strange - sometimes, you will see a sentinel shooting like it should on your version, sometimes being a slowpoke one from your playmate version. Probably depends where he is calculated (which host). Who is "team leader" doesn't matter for that - or was not mattering at least before 2.51, for sure

#

@hushed bronze can you provide your newest grass/cliff fix in a .lua + textures folder to include version? I just realize with a bit of shame, that the two days of testing failed to show any result, cause it was overwritten by my .lua version of finelod modification 😉

#

would love to merge it in and do some proper comparison screenshots now

hushed bronze Jun 14, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

@hidden shell Hmm, seems you would have overridden grass and biome settings but not the ground texturing...

And I think you know by now I don't even know what the lua app looks like...

hidden shell Jun 14, 2020, 2:11 AM

#

In fact quite the opposite, given that you was providing beyond base building as .lua since jesus was a lad, i thought you know it, just... Not using much?

#

also what lua app, lua is a scripting language 🤔

#

i eman the amumss-compatible script

#

Eh, whatever, I will write the .lua for it, but it will take some more time

#

(as in, definitely not today)

#

BTw, if I'm going to do it already, can you provide the latest version? I think you mentioned some minor changes?

#

(as opposed to the version posted earlier, said about so minor than not invalidating the tests, but if I'm going to lua'ify it, might as well do with the latest one)

#

(btw, in fact I had grass portion working all right after overlap, and not the cliff one 😄 )

@vale iron Harder to do, but my plan was to eliminate the buyable backpack slots entirely, so that they could only be acquired via drop pods. Then, you could mess with the repair cost too

@vale iron With any luck you could make it shuffle multiple repair reqs like the damaged machinery does

Basically I wanted to nix the vendor device from space stations and Nexus

I'm going to work on LUAfying the no free freighter (I'm renaming it No Free Ride, or maybe 'Cash, Grass, or Ass'), then changing the costs on purchasing.

...we will see if we will remain friends after he takes look at the content.

hushed bronze Jun 14, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

TBH lua-fying it might be smarter in a hybrid approach

#

If recent years are any indicator, biome and object files are basically immune to updates, which really only leaves a few, which are easy lua targets if I understand the process at all

#

AFAIK files that are edited originals can be turned lua pretty much automatically by Wberto's program, right? @hidden shell

#

Also, yes, its the same zip i posted here about 15 minutes before the nexus update

#

In terms of organization, it has a so-called "GENERALIZED" objects folder which may be a bit confusing for a lua job

#

Its literally vanilla biomes put it one folder, and is used for the weirds in this case, but structurally, its a leftover from previously being a part-biomes mod. It has no functional difference but may be confusing to look at in files

Well, semi-vanilla (vanilla minus grass)

hushed bronze Jun 14, 2020, 5:48 AM

By slipping that LUSHHQ palette in my ground fix, it auto preps it for the dual palettes my color mod can offer. Its almost all inactive by default, at which point the game defers to BASECOLOUR. In other words, even with that change, it makes no effect on people not using the color mod but enables twin palettes if they do, win win

Verifying is but a small issue, managing the file system ownership is a wholw differnt matter

WindowsApps is owned by "TrusredInstaller" , you have to take that ownership, and the way windoes works, any and all updates would reset the permissions/ownership

#

so managing MODs there is not for a beginner

also, look at that path, it will likely change with version updates

@jade phoenix If you read into modding support for Game Pass PC, you'll find that they are still working on it and it is likely going to depend on the developers to allow it to happen. So eventually, if HG is ok with it, a modding folder will be added to allow it. Not sure how promising this idea is, with MS likely wanting some sort of control over supported mods (similar to Steam Workshop?).

#

The file system is pretty well locked down with Game Pass, that's for sure. Taking ownership and all that jazz helps, but will it get you all the way?

I don't expected any "variation" update anytime soon, and want to puke everytime someone does the "variation" talk on reddit (in fact, it become so much a meme, that people are making... a memes out of the variation mantra). I bet they are sorting things in a "lowest/highest hanging fruit" approach to development - as in, things that give big or small change, at the cost of big or small amount of work involved (so, lowest hanging fruit would be something easy to achieve, still giving huge impact).

given how much of theproc stuff is encoded really deep, I bet dramatical changes to planet generation are somewhere along the "highest hanging fruit" they can imagine.

#

ship customization will come before that, I bet. Heck, even you leading your frigate expedition - which is a pipe dream - have more chance of appearing short-term. Maybe in few years.

Blasphemy! The procgen variety update was just delayed so they could test the minor update of a complete reworking of the networking backend. They plan to release it to coincide with father's day, because that references different generations in a family, hence the Generations update!

@hushed bronze did you ever figure out your mountain?
I’m trying to figure out a feature unique to Grand Canyon section. There are areas that are like craters or ravines. But what’s weird is I can’t seem to find an “object” that would be creating them in “Grand Canyon”. They are like deeper pits that can sometimes be close to each other and form a small canyon. Terrain is a demon.

hushed bronze Jun 15, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Look for offset type zero maybe

#

From what I saw with craters, when I switched part of the crater from zero to base, it flipped the indent backward to make a single mound instead@steel crypt

#

Seems to me there are three main types of offsettype - Base, Zero, and All. Each appear to relate to how the feature's new voxels imprint onto the previous layer of terrain

#

@steel crypt As for "finding the mountain", I am convinced that its an intentional elevation artifact, rather than an imprinted object

IMO seeing double is better than that fuckin overlay.

hoary drum Jun 16, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

@long turtle Ahh. I think the worst case scenario is that it overwrites those mods. But I believe you can still use both. I think you have to put _ at the beginning of Exo's mods if you want them to overwrite certain parts of Fantasy

#

Like colors

i just feel like using fantasy and like the stuff i have now will make what i like abt the stuff i have rn overwritten

hoary drum Jun 16, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

I mean if your just using Exo's color mods for variation then giving them higher priority will not only give you the variety of Fantasy but also give you the colors of Exo's mods. a win win

long turtle Jun 16, 2020, 5:53 AM

hoary drum Jun 16, 2020, 5:55 AM

Like I said. you would have to pick and choose which ones have higher priority. If you want ship mods to stay the same then give them the higher priority. For the biomes choose which one you would prefer. Same goes for color

long turtle Jun 16, 2020, 5:55 AM

In response to the images of the planet rendering from space during pre release: man that looks great, but also, how did we ever believe that planets were planet sized! Seems so obvious now from old footage with that rendering that they were waaay smaller like we see now.

#

Also where is that first image from?

hushed bronze Jun 17, 2020, 9:41 PM

@small valve Yes. In fact, I was hoping you would take a snapshot of that very same orange planet scene with my mod on, Ground Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1080

Nexus Mods :: No Man's Sky

Exosolar's Ground Fix

The Ground Fix mod (formerly Grass Fix) replaces the patchy grass with fields of velvet! Beaches become fully sand and sandstone, and many terrain features regain cliff-side surfacing.

#

If that terrain is "feature" based, it will be fixed. Sadly my cliff reversion is not absolute tho and wont work on non-feature based cliffs

@hushed bronze
I remember than in one of your abandoned biomes mods, you did something making neutral planets with extreme weather episodes have other stuff than "heat sotmr always". Is it still possible to make planets actually respect what they should have (so, like, if a planet have "ice storm episodes", making it really have ice storm, not heat wave), or - at least, if not possible to make it fit description - randomize what planet gets (but keeping always same for same planet), without affecting regular toxic/radiated/heat/cold planets?

#

It sooooo buggers me (way more than any cliffs or lack of them - using your mod for days, ensured it is not overwritten by anything, still failed to spot anything looking different for screen 😄 ) that desert or lush planets with storms are getting heat only, even if clearly described as extreme cold episodes.

hushed bronze Jun 18, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Hard to understand what you are getting at, but at one point I had planned to just alter a text file so that instead of "Specific" storm incoming, it would just read "storm incoming" so that it wouldn't be misleading about mod-altered storms

#

Are you trying to make the Extra Biomes mod only offer the standard weather for their biome type?@hidden shell

hidden shell Jun 19, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

No, let me explain again:

There are planets that have neutral - non-risk weather most of the time, but storms from time to time, that are dangerous

#

When you scan "sky" - or whatever that isn't object - on such planets, you get info about planet, including the supposed type of hazardous storms, like "fire storms", or "episodes of extreme cold"

#

Still, when the actual storm come, it is always only high temperature one, as in, heat storm. Nothing else, ever. which is silly, when the planet is supposed to have cold storms

#

all of this applied only to planets from point 1, as in, the "neutral" ones - desert, lush, etc.

#

What I want to do is have the storm type match what should be there, OR, if that is not doable, at least make storm type for said planet random (preferably, same type of hazard storm staying for same planet, as in, one planet having always cold storms, or always hot ones, or else)

leaden laurel Jun 19, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

I'm thinking, if a planet looks like a paradise and gets boiling hot storms, how can it look like a paradise? 😄

#

@hushed bronze you made a weather mod that addressed this though right?

hushed bronze Jun 19, 2020, 6:30 AM

@leaden laurel The thing is, there are paradise planets without bad weather and/or agressive sentinels, and there arve ones that should bet episodes of bad weather, while being neutral other time. I would just like those bad weather to be more varied than "always hot"

#

especially when the planet's description mentions "ice storms", and those ice storms are 100+ C degrees in "reality".

lime mesa Jun 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

@hushed bronze Is there a version of Ground Fix that doesn’t alter the colours at all? I found a red and blue grass planet that looked incredible but without the mod it looked like ASS

@hidden shell ikr. but that particular example should only happen in exotic biomes, and never in a frozen biome. but i agree with your main point for sure.

hidden shell Jun 20, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

In exotic, lush, Desert, and some anomalous ones (where they have things like "memories of cold" as extreme weather type)

#

before you ask "why lush" - who said that alien lush plants and fauna can't be adapted to things like that? even on earth, we have plants that can reproduce only after forest fires...

round sinew Jun 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

i agree

hidden shell Jun 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

Alien ones could as well be well adapted to episodes of extreme cold or hot 🙂 Heck, Even to toxic waves or pockets of irradiated stuff.

(ok, less realistic with the radiation, as after the storm it wouldn't just "go away", but meh)

@hidden shell It's more the colours, why is the default game so washed out/basic? :/

#

give me hope sean

hidden shell Jun 20, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Yes, the grass from grass fix is much better (if a bit problematic re spotting stuff on ground, like some crates, or basically anything that isn't tall and doesn't emit light)

#

@round sinew:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HAo8kkPjWE

Seeing them fly like that in fighter squadrons give me the homeworld vibe

#

also, the key thing is them being able to shoot as soon as their weapon have range - instead of just randomly nerfed distance, like now - and not doing the useless dodging unless they really need (and more dangerous pirates even willing to sacrifice aprt of squadron to inflict maximum damage on you). I played with the mod, and it was aweosme, but had some bugs (like phase beam shooting at you from half the system, sometimes, and not wanting to stop or overheat, ever)

#

supposedly, those issues are being worked on

round sinew Jun 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

just watching the video

#

yep

#

It is:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1537

...btw, so feel free to drop in and pressure creator to work on it 😛

#

in any case, the break and return to even harsher universe will do me good, it was becoming to be a beautiful, but still routine of log in -> check frigates -> sell excees -> send frigates (optionally, gather/buy stuff for fuel for them if out of) -> maybe do nexus missions, praying that game won't crash before finished -> do something with 0 risk (optionally self-inventing how to make it harder, like, travel through planet in exocrafts only on distances of up to few k units, instead of flying).

I need a break. Started to feel way too much like work 😛

#

with the changes that I was using already, mixed with space where you don't ignore 3-skull pirates attacking you, cause you want to mine those 10 asteroids more + having to actually work for freighter, and if ever getting it, really cheerish first frigate and very slowly expand fleet, will be really refreshing thing.

#

(when I first seen freighters, I expected them to have a starting price of around 100-150 millions. and the frigates... Why the should cost like 1/10 of an average spaceship, eh? Glad to fix that, finally)

round sinew Jun 20, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

iirc, when i started playing, i remember reading people saying a top end freighter cost like 500 million, and i thought that was a long term goal. got my s class freighter with max slots and all that stuff we expect, for 150million.

@fallow meadow i was just looking at a video about the save editor, if you know a bit about it could you confirm what i think? is the home seed of a freighter the colours it'll have? and if so could i change the model seed to make it bigger and keep the same colours?

since its a medium and i want it to be large but knowing my luck ill never find one, and i havnt found one online to go get

would using that save editor give me the home seed?

#

or does it not work like that anymore?

fallow meadow Jun 20, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Oh and I also believe you can basically use the portal code as a hex string for Home Seed.

#

If you load a save in the editor, it should show the seed values. However, if an old save, it may not include a home seed, not sure. At some point this was changed with an update, as freighters never had a home seed before and kept changing crew and colours when you moved to diff systems.

@unborn heath Editing the save files for Windows Game Pass is currently not possible due to being encrypted/compressed. Creating backups will work however, but that's basically it for now.

When it comes to modding the game files, it is up to the developers to allow this. As long as that has not been changed, the full game will run fully protected/encrypted in it's own standalone virtual box sort of environment. No directories are available that allow for changes to be made. The only current way to actually mod the game files, is to dump the app package files during a suspended state of the game running, to then re-sign the manifest, to allow altering in a deployment state (Devloper mode > Win 10 SDK). A search for various other popular games doing the same, is easily found. Not sure how MS feels about this .... consequences ... bla bla ...

Your example shows CE settings for direct memory editing. Any memory addresses for NMS you will find online, will likely be based on the Steam/GOG version of the game, where these are bound to differ for the Game Pass version. Most tables are currently outdated and awaiting updates for the latest version. With Win GP being new to the scene, it will likely take a while for cheat tables to become available. You're pretty much on your own for now.

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

@fallow meadow Thanks for the detailed response. I'm aware that any tables for the Steam version will likely not work for other versions due to different memory addresses/"array of bytes" for the opcodes. I attempted to make a script myself but I don't know exactly how the game checks for the hyperdrive distance and where that "cmp" occurs between the star system distance and hyperdrive range. I was able to change the # of Light Years in the Galactic map but I appears to be a visual value only

fallow meadow Jun 22, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

@unborn heath It is not always easy to find the actual underlying value, instead of the UI used visual representation. Depends on the type of value and you'll actually have to get to the entity representing it. I bet it may even be harder on Win GP depending on possible additional security layers implemented/enabled. You'd likely want to find actual pointer addresses (physical memory address > relative offset > offset). If lucky no random/dynamic addresses are used, and you should be able to figure it out. It would likely help unpacking the game source files to get an idea of what you're actually looking for, although not currently possible for Win GP version. You should prolly check the NMS Modding Discord: https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H Plenty others around willing to assist ;-)

#

No idea ... lol. I have a decent understanding of how it works and am reasonably ok with assembly/disassembly. Just not really into CE or creating custom dll injection, coding something up in VS, although I am sure I could. It's all pretty interesting though and fun to mess around with I bet.

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

That's how I enjoy playing PC games now...just figuring out what I can mess around with via code injection

Just be careful not to P off anyone, but yourself ... hehehe

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

Yeah I avoid anything in multiplayer that will affect other players

fallow meadow Jun 22, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

In this case, with Win GP, you do have MS/Xbox to think about as well and even if you personally turn off multiplayer, it is part of the game and shares saves on their cloud.

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Yeah I've thought about that, but over the years I've never ran into any problems. Even on Windows 8 there were cloud saves

fallow meadow Jun 22, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

Achievement resets or worse are not uncommon, even though most the times you can get away with it. I guess it's sort of condoned to a degree.

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

I think that really only occurred in the Xbox 360 days when you could directly mod/unlock achievements via tools and hex editing. Those days have changed and I've not heard of any bans or resets from PC

#

I would imagine you could get banned for doing something stupid like aimbotting on Halo MCC

#

I don't do anything like that of course...only singleplayer stuff

fallow meadow Jun 22, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Well, but that's the point, it's now all under one big MS hood. MS/Xbox/Anywhere/GP and still plenty ways to manipulate/mod/cheat/hack ... Online is of course a big no-no, but even single player or with a mix like NMS, plenty you can do to ruin someone else's experience. You just never know when they feel like 'enough is enough'. Anyways, I am pretty sure I am not telling you anything new

regal dirge Jun 22, 2020, 6:32 PM

@unborn heath if you need cheats, there’s a big community around CE, but this game is too simple with a bit of knowledge even on PermaDeath. For me it don’t worth a while to cheat here even on PD.

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

@regal dirge Well it's still fun to see what you can do with CE, even if the game is easy

regal dirge Jun 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

@unborn heath it's better to ask CE community for this. and with a bit of tutorial it's too easy

unborn heath Jun 22, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Yes, I know...I just don't know how the information is stored in this game so I thought to ask here. Maybe now I will target the actual ship hyperdrive range rather than editing the star system distance. Normally I can work out something because I even have no problems with bypassing certain anti-cheat programs for singleplayer games

regal dirge Jun 22, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

look into actual files published, and you will know much more

vale iron Jun 23, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

@unborn heath The hyperdrive jump distance is based primarily on the ship stats (save file), drive itself (technology table), and the upgrades installed(technology table and procedural technology table). There are small bonuses that get calculated, but you don't need those to get what you are wanting. By editing any of the above three, you can get to insane distances, much farther than you would want to spend the time to scan through the galaxy map.

How do mods (also save-editing appearance) interact with multiplayer elements?

MODS & MULTIPLAYER
Mods work with multiplayer without any security issues. No Man's Sky does not check multiplayer participants for mods at all. There is no risk of ban or penalty for using mods in multiplayer. The only major issue is that some mods have the capacity to "misalign" what two players experience. For example, if your mod makes storms permanent or changes aggressiveness of sentinels or changes where the ground is generated, you may see your friend walking on an invisible ground far above you or being shot by sentinels that are not there.

These things are also true of save editor changes.

gray stirrup Jun 23, 2020, 8:42 PM

Thanks. Does that also hold true for the pinned message for modifying character appearance though? That's directly manipulating the ingame data...

#

Yup

gray stirrup Jun 23, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

Interesting. Begs the question of how a modded person looks on the other end.

hushed bronze Jun 23, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Depends. If your save edit changes the save to the legit alternate head, others can see. If you have a mod swapping the models, others wont see

#

(Because their game reads data, and that data will still show "Original head" and lack the mod file that has those pointers swapped)

gray stirrup Jun 23, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Aaaaah, that makes sense. Sort of. There's variants of the Korvax head I want that NPCs have but I don't have access to.

gray stirrup Jun 23, 2020, 10:57 PM

There a guide how these different variables work? From what I'm gathering it seems like the "HeadPose" number is working on some kind of like modulus system, and each number that's within a given general realm sort of correlates to an NPC's scales or races of some sort...

Infodump of bonescales found through JSON save editing:

Headpose corresponds to the different face-shape settings that the Vy'keen and Gek get.
On Anomaly, Traveler, and Korvax it's always set to around 0.3.
This setting appears to have some small effects on Korvax heads. From what little experimentation I did, it seems to have only limited effect on Anomaly heads.
0.0 - Rounded
0.3 - Default (Anomaly/Korvax/Traveler)
0.4 - Even bigger head?
0.6 - Hunched over posture
0.8 - Small/Narrow head
1.0 - Narrow head
Going out of the range of 0-1 appears to just clamp the transform at 0 or 1 depending on which direction you go. Not entirely sure, warrants more experiments.

Gekbody is a modifier that indicates how gek-shaped the character is. It's 0 on all non-gek races, and 1 on gek.
This does mean you can make yourself a gek-shaped race of anything else, or even partially gek-shaped. This also means you can set it to 0 on a Gek to have a creepy lanky Gek.
You cannot set it negative to become anti-gek shaped.

Bodyshape directly correlates with the 5 different body preset proportions you can have, with 0 (default), 0.25 (fat), 0.5 (slender), 0.75 (short), and 1 (buff).
You can use numbers between these to interpolate between the types, though most of these seem pretty subdued. You have to look very closely to see that, for example, 0.33 (fat/slender) has some differences from 0.
These cannot be manipulated outside of these settings, it will otherwise default back to 0.

Scale is literally just how large your whole character is. On every race this is set to 1, except for Vy'keen where it's roughly 1.1
This variable can go out of range of 0-1, unlike the others. Numbers such as 0.01 can make you incredibly tiny, while inversely you can set it to 5.0 and become a giant monster. Because this is manipulating character data, this might also show up for other players as well? Be careful.
It also only affects appearance of size, your actual collision boxes do not change.

gray stirrup Jun 25, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

Going out of the range of 0-1 appears to just clamp the transform at 0 or 1 depending on which direction you go. Not entirely sure, warrants more experiments.
I especially mention this because some kind of combination of settings I used with a high head transform somehow gave me a body-shape that resembled Iteration:Cronus on top of the actual BodyShape, which meant I was permanently fat with really long arms, and setting myself to the fat body type just made me double-fat.

smoky wing Jun 28, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

@shadow junco Depends on what you're modding. Most things are probably fine, but occasionally changes could be made to the saves that cause unexpected issues if the mod is changed or removed. For example: color palette mods shouldn't cause any problems, but saving while using a terrain generation mod might spawn the player inside a mountain if the mod is removed. Best advice is to always keep a pre-mod backup of your saves "just in case".

Can someone help me find my save file on windows?

fallow meadow Jul 2, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

@lime mesa If you are on Game Pass, this is the location:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\HelloGames.NoMansSky_bs190hzg1sesy\SystemAppData\wgs
This location contains folders with long random numbered names which all contain save game data. However, it is only useful for backup purposes, as changes can not be made because of protection/encryption
On Steam and GOG this is the location:
%AppData%\HelloGames\...
For Steam/GOG besides backup, changes can be made with a Save Editor or alike.

You will be way better off getting the game on Steam or GOG if you want to add mods

#

Probably, considering it syncs my Xbox save, not really losing much by purchasing on a separate platform

fallow meadow Jul 3, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

For Game Pass you will have to use 'tools' to hi-jack the app in a suspended state, then re-sign the AppManifest to be able to run it in a deployment state before you even get to try adding mods. Keep in mind that MS apps run in sort of a virtual protected box, heavily encrypted and whatnot. As long as Hello Games does not allow modding on that platform, it is going to be a troublesome way to even get to attempt it.

lime mesa Jul 3, 2020, 7:07 AM

Yeah that sounds like more work than actually even making the effects

I'll just get it on GoG or steam next week I suppose

Yeah using third party systems to try and get past Microsoft is a big no no considering it's the same account I use for Xbox

How does modding work with multiplayer?

#

or is it only in single?

obsidian tree Jul 3, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

it works, people just only see the stuff you have modded if they also have the same mods

#

or if the mods use vanilla things

dense ember Jul 3, 2020, 11:22 AM

So reduced cost launch or faster analysis doesn't change anything?

obsidian tree Jul 3, 2020, 12:09 PM

nah, your achievements won't be affected by mods

reduced cost and such will affect you but not others

@heady lodge Save editing on PS4 is very similar to doing so on PC, with the only difference that you have to do it in a hex editor and have to deal with the obfuscated data, where PC saves from Steam/GOG can be de-obfuscated to readable/understandable format and used in a tool that nicely displays/organises it. So just ask ahead and someone is likely willing/able to help.

obsidian tree Jul 8, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

if you can get the file off your ps4 though, could you not just load it with the PC save editor?

#

it will either be a .json format, or mbin, which you would just use mbincompiler to make exml in that case right?

#

I haven't actually seen a ps4 save though, so I don't really know what I'm talking about haha

fallow meadow Jul 8, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

@obsidian tree Save Wizard has an advanced mode which basically imports the save into HxD (hexeditor). From what I have gathered, the data appears to be more or less identical to our raw save file format. So I am pretty sure it should be possible to decompile/de-obfuscate to get something similar to what we work with. Of course this then requires to be reversed again, to then have the Save Wizard do its thing again to get it back into a working PS4 version of the save.

I know it has been requested to implement in the Save Editor, although I can imagine why this has not been done. It would require adding the same decryption Save Wizard uses, which is a paid tool trying their best to stop any competition. Not to mention any legal implications this may have.

obsidian tree Jul 8, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

so does it have only one file, or two like on PC? If it's one then surely we could just get the file off the PS4 and edit on a PC? Or does it not work like that? If it's 2 files like on PC, then surely the encryption would be the same as the PC encryption, and so there would be no issue also?

#

Hello and thanks for the response

#

The files for ps4 are single files. What I do is I upload my file to my usb, then move it to my pc. From there I take the file and upload to save wizard and open it in the advance mode which really "opens" it up. With that file opened up I save it to my desktop and re open it in my hex editor. From there I make my changes and once I'm done I save the file and reopen it back in savewizard, then the savewizard applies the changes to my save on the usb. I take the usb back to my console and apply the changes

#

A little annoying lol

obsidian tree Jul 9, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

can you post the file you get off your PS4 here? I'd be interested in seeing what it looks like...

heady lodge Jul 9, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

Yeah it could be interesting. Maybe you can send it back and we can do some experimenting

#

There isnt much discussion online about this stuff I've tried looking

#

The whole reason I got into messing with save editing was because I have this survival file that I played through a bunch on and I I've been stuck not having any interaction cause everyone plays on normal. So I want to start a normal file, and save edit all the big stuff that I can like milestone progress and guild progress back to where I was at

#

So I've been trying to figure out how to change those things through hex editing by trial and error

fallow meadow Jul 9, 2020, 10:42 AM

@obsidian tree @heady lodge After looking some more into it, it appears that after decryption by Save Wizard, the file is completely plaintext (JSON), not even obfuscated.

I spoke to someone about PS4 saves before, just don't recall who or when sadly enough. Their result was from direct save editing with HxD, which has less readable format, although keywords can still be recognised. This seems similar to using PS4 Savemounter for example. It is obvious that Save Wizard is key to proper decryption/encryption, but once that is done, editing should be a walk in the park.

I know someone has been eager to look into including PS4 saves. They have a Save Editor project on GitHub which I will link below. There appear to be releases available, but I am not seeing source code though. Maybe get in touch with them?
https://github.com/cengelha/NomNom

obsidian tree Jul 9, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

Yeah, I am familiar with NomNom and it's development a little. I am just interested in what the encrypted ps4 save looks like... Like, is it an encryption format that all ps4 saves share? If so then I'd be surprised if there wasn't an open source bit of code with details on the encryption which could be used....

#

and if it decrypts to plain json, then there should be no issues with editing and throwing it back into the program right?

fallow meadow Jul 9, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

I have managed to get a hold of a few encrypted saves (I think). One is a .bin file having the key I gues, the other contains the save data without extension.

Anyone know if this save editor commonly breaks the game?

https://nomansskymods.com/mods/no-mans-sky-save-editor/

I used it right after I started a new game to do somethings you probably aren't supposed to be able to do.

I took the seed of a pink ship and changed the starter ship to it. Then I loaded the seed of an exotic ship and forced it to use the previous colors.

I've had a purple and pink squid ship since then with no problems at all.

Now all of a sudden I'm missing construction blueprints that I've used multiple times.

Unless it's something else the only thing I can think is that maybe the mission I just started triggered some sort of anti pink squid ship program 😂

tribal needle Jul 9, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Ghosts in the Machine is the mission I'm working on and it requires me to construct terminals for specialist researchers.

The mission objective is to construct a door for access to my base. I have the door blueprint in my discoveries but not in my build menu.

vale iron Jul 9, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

Do you have any mods installed? Sometimes they can screw with the build menu, which seems more likely than a corrupted save. You could also try to verify file integrity to see if that helps

basically, both players join up in the same session; player a goes through portal to desired destination, player b summons anomaly, lands there, autosaves, and waits for player a to reach the far side of the portal. player b exits anomaly, game prompt, select warp to player a's current system. done, player b will be warped to destination planet without portal interference.

Was hoping for a solo way

sorry if that's an incovenience

I guess solo requires editing?

#

you could portal there, and find a wild base computer on the far side, which you will be able to claim.

#

then simply come back through the portal, and teleport to that base computer, free of portal interference

#

Or save editing, yeah. The program NMS Coordinates has a one-button portal interference clearer if you don't want to mess with the save file yourself.
