[bitter kindle]

Oh for fuck's sake

I decided to just test my normal OpenBiomeExtender pak without any of my Ignacio's Biomes stuff and it crashes there too

that one doesn't even add objects, it just separates them object lists

[odd crater]

When does it crash?

Randomly or on start?

Ahh

I think I got it

Just downloaded OPENBE

You call the same biome file twice using two different subtypes

IIRC it's a no go

Your HugeLush / HugeRing consolidation

[bitter kindle]

I'm crashing on a TOXICEGGSBIOME

my mod consolidates most biomes and works most of the time so I don't think that's the issue

[odd crater]

Look at the biome file for toxic eggs

You call the layers and the full table

They clash

[bitter kindle]

no way

I can't believe I missed that this whole time

[odd crater]

Most of the issues I face are typos

So I know how to troubleshoot

^^

Also

Some small advice

Set "AllowLimiting" to false

It gives all options the same weight

[bitter kindle]

weird

how do you know?

[odd crater]

Tested it

It makes the fullest tables more frequent in the base game

If you tend to see some parts/combinations more often, this is why

Thought it was a placebo effect at first but maths don't lie

At least it was the case 1- 2 years ago

[bitter kindle]

how does it decide which ones are fuller? By the density values or by the filename?

[odd crater]

It was depending on the placement in the list

[bitter kindle]

That sounds really odd but I'll give it a shot anyway

[odd crater]

Well, maybe it doesn't work like that anymore. All my lists are set to false and it doesn't cause any issues.

[bitter kindle]

yeah I figure there's no downside

man, thanks so much for downloading my mod and looking into it

I wouldn't have caught that for a long time

[odd crater]

No problem.

If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[bitter kindle]

👑

[bitter kindle]

@odd crater do you have a rough number for how many entities are allowed?

What you pointed out worked for the generic OpenBiomeExtender mod but Ignacio's Biomes is still crashing

[odd crater]

To know exactly, we would need to conduct incremental tests.

I don't think it is worth the time it would require

I'll take a look at Ignacio's Biomes

Best thing to do is just not adding to much entries

[bitter kindle]

Alright I solved the crash at least for this planet

I had also left in the CRYSTAL objects in OpenBE so now that they're out it works

[odd crater]

I can tell you that planets with around 90 scannable objects don't crash

What is the difference between the OPENBE BIOMEFILENAMES and the one from the merged patch?

Pre built patch, sorry

[bitter kindle]

the patch adds new object lists to the underwater, cave and crystal layers

oh and it adds 2 new biomes

[odd crater]

Ok

When does it crash exactly?

On start or on a specific biome?

[bitter kindle]

I've been crashing in the ToxicEggsBiome. I removed the mods and saved there so when I loaded in with the mods it would crash

but like I said, for now it seems fixed

I'll have to wait and see if another planet crashes

[odd crater]

Ah

I understood you had another crash

[hushed bronze]

@vale iron I think a few buildables got re-organized by HG in the last year.

[waxen cedar]

so this base has defence turrets on it

so I was wondering

is there a mod that adds the defence turret into buildable objects since it syncs over base uploads

[vale iron]

There is not a publicly available one, but I can give you some information if you want to send me a DM

[hushed bronze]

@vale iron Hey I had someone mention my "peaceful rain" mods. They're really easy / simple mods if you wanna hijack that one 🙂

for that matter you probably know how to make that one already without looking at anything I did lol

[waxen cedar]

now this is some good security right here

[vale iron]

@dry flint After you get Modding station, you'll want to use the unpack files option and it will spit out the file structure. Then get MBINCompiler and tell modding station where you put it. Now you can double click the mbin files and get exml files that you can view with something like notepad++

[left sentinel]

Your have been EPICALLLY pwned!!!

[gusty zenith]

anyone know the exml for starship speed? i'd like to increase all of the starship speed modes

[gusty zenith]

ok so i found this in GCSPACESHIPGLOBALS :

  <Property name="Control" value="GcPlayerSpaceshipControlData.xml">
    <Property name="SpaceEngine" value="GcPlayerSpaceshipEngineData.xml">
      <Property name="ThrustForce" value="40" />
      <Property name="MaxSpeed" value="180" />
      <Property name="MinSpeed" value="1" />
      <Property name="Falloff" value="0.7" />
      <Property name="MinSpeedForce" value="5" />
      <Property name="BoostThrustForce" value="500" />
      <Property name="BoostMaxSpeed" value="1200" />
      <Property name="BoostFalloff" value="0.7" />
      <Property name="BoostingTurnDamp" value="0.1" />
      <Property name="DirectionBrakeMin" value="1" />
      <Property name="DirectionBrake" value="1.5" />
      <Property name="ReverseBrake" value="0.5" />
      <Property name="OverspeedBrake" value="3" />
      <Property name="LowSpeedTurnDamper" value="1" />
      <Property name="TurnBrakeMin" value="1" />
      <Property name="TurnBrakeMax" value="2" />
      <Property name="TurnStrength" value="1" />
      <Property name="RollAmount" value="2" />
      <Property name="RollForce" value="1.25" />
      <Property name="RollAutoTime" value="2" />
      <Property name="BalanceTimeMin" value="0.4" />
      <Property name="BalanceTimeMax" value="4" />
    </Property>

so maxspeed and boostmaxspeed are the default and shift speeds, but i cant find the pulse jump speed

also there are simliar sections for Control, ControlLight, and ControlHeavy which i assume are for different ship types, not sure which applies to exotic royal ships

also there are sections for SpaceEngine, PlanetEngine, and CombatEngine but that is self explanatory since the travel speeds are clearly different in each of those scenarios

[slim sky]

So recently me and my boys who play No Man’s sky began planning out an animated short film we want to make inspired by them game. It’s not monetized, so we were wondering if there’s a way we can extract the models from the game files onto our pc’s so we can use them (along with the textures) for our animation. Anyone know if it’s possible?

[alpine oasis]

You might wanna check the modding server. There's people who may know how to do that, or who could teach you how. There's an invite in the pins.

[dry flint]

@gusty zenith i am just spitballing, but there isn't really an element of control to pulse jumping; the only one being that you can initiate it and stop it, so it makes sense to not have values for it that are toggleable, because nothing affects it. Unlike the ither values that are probably all affected by upgrades. Just my opinion though

@slim sky i would be careful still. Youtube can run ads on any video now, so it may be monetized to them whether you like it or not, so may be best to get permission from them (HG) anyway

[dry flint]

Oh man, heard about this. Really got themselves into a pickle, didn't they

[vale iron]

There's something called miniwarp or something like that for pulse. I'll have to look in a little bit to see the exact name

[gusty zenith]

i assume there must be some variable that controls pulse speed, but like @dry flint mentioned, it behaves differently from other speeds since it cant be upgraded directly, perhaps another file controls this

[slim sky]

Do you know the best way to contact them? Would I email?

[vale iron]

Only way I know is Twitter or

!hg

Boo, it's turned off here. Use that command in #bot-spam

I don't think they'll respond to either, though

[slim sky]

True. I guess I'll tag them on twitter and shoot the support address an email, at least I can say I tried.

[dry flint]

@slim sky exactly. If they choose not to respond then it kinda gives you your answer

[vale iron]

HG likes player made content though, so I doubt you'll have an issue

[slim sky]

Yep. Well hopefully the guys over on the modding server can help me out. and yeah hopefully they'll see it. I'll try to keep you all updated on the animation, we have a story done, and it's actually looking pretty cool 🙂

[gusty zenith]

@vale iron yeah there must be a value in SPACESHIPGLOBALS that controls this because i found another mod (now deleted from nexus) that offered 10x pulse jump speed, and it mentions the same file : https://www.zettamods.com/games/no-mans-sky/shaidaks-pulse-jump-1549

actually i think u nailed it :

  <Property name="MiniWarpSpeed" value="30000" />

that number is very close to the 20000 number mentioned on the Pulse Engine page of the wiki

[vale iron]

That's easy enough to test. Just get two planets far apart and test with and without

[gusty zenith]

yep, will give it a shot tomorrow

[hushed bronze]

@gusty zenith Can confirm that number is the pulse drive speed

[vale iron]

@hushed bronze Is Painless Rain just flipping the override temperature flag?

[hushed bronze]

Maybe. I just hard set the temp ranges to mild numbers tho

[vale iron]

Ok, got it

That file definitely had some structural changes since the last version!

[slim knoll]

any good graphics mods for this game?

wanna P U S H my 3090

[thorn scarab]

Reshade

[slim knoll]

yo this game has support for reshade?

didnt know that

[thorn scarab]

Yup

[junior grove]

Does anyone know of a mod that just does cruise control and nothing else?

By cruise control, I mean being able to accelerate/decelerate your starship to a certain speed and just stay there when you release the button.

[slim knoll]

there should be a mod that lets you buys multiple planetary charts at once

also what happens if i join someone with crossplay with mods enabled

[hoary drum]

They wouldn't see them

[steel crypt]

@junior grove No but I have asked HG for that function a couple of times. There is no way to mod that without modding the exe as far as I know.

[vale iron]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I thought that was just Falloff in SpaceshipGlobals?

Weird, I just tried all Falloff at 0 and it works most of the time, but sometimes it will start falling again randomly

[steel crypt]

@vale iron that variable also controls reverse speeds in space. If you set it that low then you can reverse at crazy speeds in space. Effectively defeating all enemy space ships. I set mine lower than vanilla which lets you cruise more before slowdown but also stops crazy reverse speeds in space. I would like to have a toggle though so it will attempt to maintain speed with/after turning. Also it would be nice to have a reverse and forward independent min and max speed settings.

[vale iron]

That makes sense. I managed to get the cruise working in general, but I still have to find the turn slowdown and I didn't know about the reverse issue you mentioned.

[bold cairn]

it would be nice to be able to stop ship (to set speed to 0)

[vale iron]

Yeah, I would love that ability, but I don't think it's possible

[steel crypt]

On planet you can go to 0 because there is a min speed setting. If you set it to 0.01, you can stop...not go 0.01, but actually stop. In space though trying to go 0 is tricky because the min speed is not in effect. What do you mean exactly by "turn slowdown"? There are a few variables that change how turning and speed works. There is a turn brake which makes your ship go more in the direction you are turning instead of sliding. (i.e. less newtonian effect) Then there is a turn damper and that makes you lose speed when turning. This is all from memory from what....4-5 years ago lol...I think I'm remembering it right.

@vale iron It's been my experience that 9/10 players will never notice that they can go super speeds backward in space. I noticed it because of testing the hell out of modding it. There have been mods for a long time that remove that brake somewhat/totally, but I haven't heard anyone ever complain about super backward speed. (I don't know if it is still the same but I'm talking about you could go FAST backwards like many thousands of U.)

But it's like that because HG didn't make separate controls for forward and reverse. It's just "go" and stop is in the middle.

[hybrid horizon]

Am I the only one annoyed that camera mode doesn't just freeze you in position?

If I use it in space my ship goes on without me

If I use it when I'm jumping, instead of freezing on my current position, the character just goes into a default position.

[round sinew]

it does freeze you in position, but only if you're not in a multiplayer session

[valid swallow]

mod -plz

[white stream]

Can you mod on xbox?

[hybrid horizon]

saddly, pc only

[hybrid horizon]

ah, got it

how about the other issue (with the ship)

is it the same situation?

[willow kettle]

The newest Xbox I do believe let’s you download mods but I can’t confirm that

[mortal pike]

Modding on xbox has historically been restricted to just a couple of titles

[white stream]

Fallout 4

Is the only one Ik

[digital belfry]

Skyrim.

Both games got mod support so bethesda could charge for the club usage.

[dry flint]

Refer up a little bit to the values that nyresa posted, it had a falloff value that can be tweaked

@bold cairn you can in space, just not in atmosphere for whatever reason

[bold cairn]

how?

[dry flint]

This game falls under the long list of entertainment that represents space flight the same as atmospheric flight

Well there is a falloff for one, but srcondly, you just tap the reverse key

And slowly take it down to zero. It's a bit difficult but you can do it

Gotta go in first person for that so you can see the speed

[bold cairn]

and I don't mean trying 100 times + and - to set it to 0
i was meaning to set it from any speed - to instruct engine to stop and stay

[dry flint]

You can very easily get it within +/- 20 units/s, and it will very quickly slow to zero

Like you tap it, and it may go past zero and go to, say, -10, -15; but it slows down after like 5 second or so

[bold cairn]

I'm using mod where Falloff is set to 0

[dry flint]

Well

If you want to stop with that mod, you must tap a key rq and hope it sets to zero

Whydo you have the falloff set to zero?

Why not instead of using a mod for falloff, you might consider getting a macro for pulse or forward

Then just hit the macro key and boom, cruise control

Easy

[bold cairn]

I'm using one AMUSS script changing most of speeds
maybe I will change some of values

and I didn't know about falloff to today post about it

[vale iron]

It takes more than just falloff.i was playing with it last night. I'll upload a beta in a bit

[vale iron]

You can try this. I probably will test turning boost falloff back on, as the speeds get ridiculous when you drop out, and I still need to kill the turn dampening.

[cyan owl]

will console ever have mod support, like fallout 4?

[vale iron]

I doubt it, unfortunately

[azure shoal]

sorry is this is a noob question but is there any way to rip my player model from the game?

[alpine oasis]

@azure shoal (from the NMS modding server)
use NMSDK or the model viewer
https://github.com/monkeyman192/NMSDK
https://github.com/gregkwaste/NMSMV

[azure shoal]

Thank you very much, Ill give NMSMV a try.

[azure shoal]

so where exactly is the player model stored

[vale iron]

MODELS\COMMON\PLAYER\PLAYERCHARACTER I think

But I'm very far from sure

[azure shoal]

yeah so i went there but none of the models are my character

[fallow meadow]

PLAYERCHARACTER.SCENE.MBIN will contain your character, but do keep in mind it contains all possible races/variations as well. You will have some work to do to only show the parts specific to your character.

[keen fulcrum]

is it possable to move my save from the xbox app version to the steam version

[timber temple]

Any good visual mods that make the game look like it did on launch day, that color palette? I’ve failed to find anything

[hushed bronze]

Here are the files for Launch Version (Steam Edition), including a slight edit to the exe that forces it to make its own save folder instead of using the same NMS folder as all vanilla NMS exe's do (Think of it as save overwrite protection). The Foundations exe here also has this edit.
Here is The Launch Version (Steam Version 1.09) with "overwrite protection"
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PlRChsSINSmvK6dYHEGYqn_vE7qtoZF_?usp=sharing

Here is Foundations (Steam Version 1.13) with "overwrite protection"
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kkYZdToUu-xzt89QIgw3_M4lDHYgKoc5?usp=sharing

Here is Pathfinder (Steam Version 1.24) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15cxgmLLIqxcgBqVhgdELlvuNwLUxIhP7?usp=sharing

None of these versions will work if you do not already own NMS through Steam. This is not piracy, nor is it an attempt at piracy. All versions are the last version before the next major update (1.09, 1.13, 1.24)

NOTE: If it doesn't work, first make sure you actually got all of the files. Google Drive likes to drop some of them on occasion. It's weird, I know.

UPDATE 9/24/2022 New nvidia drivers will not run old NMS properly. The versions I used which failed were 514 and 517. Reinstalling an older version, in my case 472.12 on an RTX 3060 Ti restored the older NMS versions to normal function. Naturally this also means sacrificing any advantages of the newer drivers with other applications. New drivers can be reinstalled at any time and driver installations will have no effect on game saves.

[blissful mortar]

Okay so like, I've been playing the VR version of NMS and like something about the graphics when I'm on a planet feels off, it jut feels kind of low quality and bright and hurts my eyes. I have hundreds of hours in other VR games and heve really had it hurt my eyes like NMS does. So is there some graphics revamp mod or a way to decrease the brightness? Maybe a graphics option that I should have enabled when using vr or something along those lines.

[blissful mortar]

Please @ me if you see thi

[subtle bronze]

Hello people! Would any of you be able to tell me what MBIN the weapon bonuses are in?

[hushed bronze]

@odd crater Hey, your grass range mod, is it based on previous mods or did you find a new technique?

I mean, older grass mods were pretty much exclusively made by modifying factors in the .objects files. I'm wondering if you came up with something more graceful

[odd crater]

Nothing fancy, really.

I increased the scale of the grass then stretched it down on the Y axis, all the while reducing density accordingly.

Works good, better than unmodded most of the time and doesn't impact performances as much.

Shows that the grass type objects could be adjusted by HG to be more optimized.

The changes could be made by editing the scene file directly, but I also needed to increase draw distance.

[hybrid halo]

looking for someone who's experienced in save editing

i wanted to convert a json into a usable save file

i'm trying to move my save from the microsoft version of the game into steam

but i don't know how to convert the json into a save.hg file

[vale iron]

I can't give you a 100% definitive answer, but I think there's a way with NomNom. You can't directly load a JSON, but I think if you set the save file location to a Steam folder and put the JSON in there, it will try to load it, then you can save it as a .hg. I think it's something like that.

[hybrid halo]

that's what i figured, something similar

but i'm not aware on how

[vale iron]

Another possibility is to just wholly replace the JSON of a save file into the JSON editor of GoatFungus's save editor

[hybrid halo]

see the part that annoys me is nomnom has a json editor

but i can't use it

if i could i could just copy paste

[vale iron]

I don't think it's been programmed yet

[hybrid halo]

well i have the json extracted for the microsoft save

i compared it to the steam json, it is the exact same format

i just don't know how to convert it into the hg file

the hg file seems to have a similar format but without spaces etc

[vale iron]

Create a save in Steam, then open NMSE, go to edit raw json, then just replace all but the first couple of lines, then save it

[hybrid halo]

i saw a save editor from 2016 that could encrypt

but it didnt work because it's too old

why the first lines? just curious

[vale iron]

"Version":4639,
"Platform":"Win|Final",

I'm guessing at least the platform is different

maybe the version

Everything else looks pretty much replaceable, assuming the JSON is formatted the same way, which I think it is.

[hybrid halo]

it's not

even that is the same

you said nmse right?

[vale iron]

Wow, that's odd, but ok.

Yeah

You probably already have it, but If you don't, google github goatfungus

[hybrid halo]

not really

the platform is the "console" per say

i would assume

the version is the game number i'm pretty sure

the only time it would change is if it were xbox

or ps4

[vale iron]

Oh, I thought this was an xbox cloud save

[hybrid halo]

nah

it's the windows 10 version

i'm assuming the container files are similar regardless, but that isn't managed by the game only microsoft

i never used goat's save editor so i'll check it out rn

[vale iron]

That's my preferred for now. NomNom has some interesting possibilities, but not quite there yet for me.

[hybrid halo]

honestly nomnom saved my butt for the microsoft version

would not have the json otherwise

i only played because i had game pass but i actually own it now on steam

[vale iron]

Yeah, that's what it's great for, definitely

[hybrid halo]

so dab

[vale iron]

If this works, it would be good to know for other people

[hybrid halo]

i feel like a korvax trying to interface with a vykeen computer with nms save editors

[vale iron]

heh

[hybrid halo]

uh...

what

it half worked?

the exosuit has the stuff but everything else is a blank slate

i wonder

maybe there is flags that have to be triggered in that other file

before changes in the main save are actually registered?

[vale iron]

Those flags would be stored in the save file, so shouldn't be

[hybrid halo]

odd

[vale iron]

You saved twice, right

Leaving JSON screen and on the main page

[hushed bronze]

@odd crater Sounds like standard procedure 🙂
Some people have complained to me about the stretching tho, don't like the "chubby" grass lol

[vale iron]

In the save editor, does the inventory screen show anything?

[hybrid halo]

one sec sorry

i'mma try saving and saving again like u said

...

._.

i'm very confused

i think it broke

now i have no multitool lmao

[vale iron]

hah, yeah, that's a problem

I guess there's a formatting issue in there somewhere

See any differences here?

[hybrid halo]

it's being dumb

one sec

i gotta start the save over fsr

[hybrid halo]

it's acting weird @vale iron

[vale iron]

How so?

[native hawk]

ive been looking everywhere through these files and cant find a way to get rid of base build limits. says i have to many parts but when i count them in the jasons file it shows les than 10,000 parts total and the base im building on only has 2,223 parts total.

[vale iron]

That shouldn't be hitting a limit of either kind. 3,000 is the per base limit that can be bypassed with Ultra settings. The other is 20,000 and can't be gotten around.

[native hawk]

thats what i thought.

[odd crater]

@hushed bronze The best way to optimize the grass might be to edit the model. I should try it sometime.

[forest narwhal]

Is there a mod that allows the analysis visor to be used in your starship?

[hushed bronze]

@odd crater Probably, but that would be way beyond what I'm willing to invest 😄

Lots of different files and physics batch code and bla bla.... lovely lil mess

[sweet widget]

Not very useful, you can no longer mine ore with the spaceship, and the spawn distance is a lot worce then on the ground...

[vale iron]

I can fix that part if someone can enable the analysis visor.

[waxen cedar]

question to the pro modders

I would like to draw the multitool inside my freighter but there is that interior prevention thing

they got rid of it inside planetary bases but not on freighters. How would I go about disabling the limit there as well?

@vale iron Would you happen to have any knowledge of this?

[vale iron]

I was just looking at and wondering about this earlier. I looked through all the instances of 'base' and 'build' in PCBANKS Explorer and didn't see anything. My belief is that there's something in the EXE controlling multitool and build menu based on the type of area we are in, which we can't access, but I'm hoping there's something in the MBINs we can get to that changes the type of area we are in. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that so far.

[patent flint]

Anyone know of any Difficulty mods? I've tried Difficulty Plus and x3000 but they don't boot up with the game anymore; Permadeath is still too easy to survive/harvest/profit

[slate veldt]

procedural ship parts
what file types be they

[supple wadi]

They're under models as scene files

[slate veldt]

Ah, i see.
Is there a go-to program that is used to manipulate those?

[scenic escarp]

Also interested in difficulty mods, and it'd be fun to hear everyone's ideas for that kind of list. Lo2K's mods for removing Cargo Drops, Buried Technologies, and Damaged Machineries seem like a good idea, though I don't know if I want them 100% eliminated... Just much less frequent, so it's a lucky/hard find instead of just littered everywhere.

[supple wadi]

but can be opened as xmls that you see only as text

[slate veldt]

@scenic escarp look up GExo's epic challenge

[supple wadi]

There's a model viewer though

[slate veldt]

That will likely do

Trying to put together some concepts based on the squid parts since i kind of hate squid ships

Their cockpit actually looks kind of cool, but gd i hate the tentacle part

[supple wadi]

i just wish the tentacles would be less rigid

[slate veldt]

gib nautilon ship with wrigly tentacles

[supple wadi]

actually sway about behind or ahead of the ship as you fly

[slate veldt]

I wonder if its possible to retexture ordinary exotics with the living ship texture

[scenic escarp]

Thanks! The Challenge pack looks great. I was thrown off by some of the improvements that sound like it make things easier (power, building, extracting, storage), but everything else looks perfect. I'll give it a try.

[slate veldt]

Yeah, i know ive been meaning to try it so its very high on my list of mods to try next.
It cuts out a lot of the issues i have with the base game

alternatively, @waxen relic has a list of things you can do as a personal handicap of sorts to make things tougher.

you know what, i tagged superdabu but intended to tag Reaper EOD, and now im not sure if theyre the same person lol

@vivid beacon maybe?
oh tg i figured that out.
sorry SD for the mistaken ping

[waxen relic]

Whomst has summoned me

Oh lol yeah that was probs a typo, I’m not a mod person

You good

[slate veldt]

Haha, yeah sorry 😄

[patent flint]

This one looks alright, I'll try it out when I get home, many thanks :)

[slate veldt]

Might be a good time to ping Gumsk or Exo and see if its up to date. I havent checked in a bit tbh

@hushed bronze is the epic challenge mod ok for 3.13 (or whatever were at now) 3.15 apparently

[hushed bronze]

@vale iron manages that one

[hushed bronze]

Also Gumsk did the PlayerPreyedOn factor stop working? I used that in one of the globals, its a t/f variable that just can disable predators ability to freely target the player, but doesn't prevent their spawn.

(Thats not the exact var name btw, don't go CTRL-F-ing that, try "prey" and you should find it soon enough if you wanna)

[vivid beacon]

Oh yes, that's me on the personal handicap one, a creed I'll be following on my next play through and certainly interested in the challenge/hardcore mods.

[vale iron]

It's compatible with 3.15. if it hasn't been updated since 3.13 it's because there were no changes needed. That said, I'll have some changes when I make the 3.2 version.

[vale iron]

I think it still works but haven't tested it. I can test it today with my max predators mod

[vivid beacon]

And yes sorry I've been having fun changing my nickname a lot with the help of @hardy aurora lol. Says the craziest stuff that make great nicknames. 🤣

[slate veldt]

yeah, i shold probably change my nickname here at some point

like "roar" or "that one a-hole" 😆

[merry summit]

I want to know about mods

If i install a mod

Cam i still multiplayer?

With a person who dont have mods installed

[vale iron]

Yes, depending on the mod it will have different effects @merry summit

If it modifies terrain, then your friend will likely see you floating in air or underground.

If it modifies your movement, then your friend will see your modified movement.

If it modifies appearances, your friend will likely see the original unmodded appearance.

[merry summit]

Its a starship mod

So the modded startship is left unchanged?

In other people

[waxen cedar]

Just wondering. It seems that the sand worm actually goes along with the terrain height. So if there are hills and uneven terrain the worm will adjust its height whilst being airborne to keep a fixed distance to the ground.

@vale iron Have you found the files that store those values? We could potentially make the worms act like they did pre-release and remain at terrain height

Since they follow along the height map anyways

[vale iron]

Yeah, I already modify that in my sandworms mod

[waxen cedar]

Oh, fancy

[vale iron]

You can control how high they go and how long they stay up

[waxen cedar]

have you uploaded the mod on nexus?

[vale iron]

Yeah, but I don't have them down close to the ground. I would need to make a version for that

[waxen cedar]

Is the frequency of worm spawns also adjusted in the same file?

[vale iron]

Let me know which version you want and I'll make one down close

Frequency is in two different files, one of which also has height. Let me double check all this, hold on.

Oh, I'm not adjusting the height, but I can

Default is 120u

[waxen cedar]

Thanks. I will most likely tinker around with it myself a bit

[vale iron]

To save you some time

[waxen cedar]

and here I was thinking of going to sleep

guess I'll stay up just a bit longer

[vale iron]

hah, I kind of wish I could so I could wake up during London work time

[waxen cedar]

I assume if I set SandwormPresenceChance to 1 it will be maximum

or is it from 0 to 100

nvm

really need to start making lua scripts. Much easier to manage later on

@vale iron Hmm... Are there some extra steps required to use .lua files or do they perform just the same way as .pak

game doesn't seem to want to get past the load screen

[vale iron]

You have to run the LUA through AMUMSS to make the PAK file

[waxen cedar]

ah yes

[vale iron]

If you don't have it, I can do it for you

[waxen cedar]

I don't have it right now since W10 reinstall

[vale iron]

That's odd, though. NMS shouldn't even see a LUA file, let alone freeze from it

[waxen cedar]

have been too lazy to download all the tools back

[vale iron]

Just send it over, I'll run it and send back the pak

[waxen cedar]

is it difficult to use AMUMSS ?

[vale iron]

Nope, just put the LUA in the ModScript folder, then run BuildMod.bat

[waxen cedar]

okay

[waxen cedar]

weird stuff

even after putting it through the game doesn't go past load screen

and I didn't even change any values yet

[vale iron]

Do you have any other mods installed?

That sounds like an out of date mod maybe

[waxen cedar]

just your GBase and a water fix

[vale iron]

None of those should conflict at all, and GBase and sandworms are up to date. That's odd

Can you send the pak you are using and I'll try it on my client?

[waxen cedar]

there

[vale iron]

My first inclination is that it's something else causing the problem, because it happened when you put the LUA in, and the game doesn't care about LUAs

loaded up fine, going to find some worms

[waxen cedar]

well it loaded up now as well

[vale iron]

Darn, I thought I knew a planet that spawned worms at those settings

[waxen cedar]

mm yes

[vale iron]

elevation working like you wanted?

[waxen cedar]

Yeah it did

was quite boring tho

they spawn so much dust when colliding with the ground that you can only see a layer of ugly sprites

kinda disappointed

I wonder if there is hard cap for the height

[vale iron]

Not sure, would be interesting to see them flying through the atmo

[scenic escarp]

Okay, update definitely has me starting a new playthrough tonight. Hopefully all these difficulty and VR mods still work 🙂

[waxen cedar]

Now I just wait for someone to make sentinels tamable

[glass lake]

Better planet gen is broke

pain

[odd crater]

No it's not

I'm using it right now

[patent flint]

Time to tame the land worms

[glass lake]

it does not work witht the newest update @odd crater

[odd crater]

I just looked at the differences between versions and there doesn't seem to be anything that would stop the MOD from working.

Does it crash on start?

It doesn't with me

[glass lake]

It doesnt crash, the proc gen does not owrk

Its all vanilla planets

[odd crater]

did you delete the "disablemods.txt" in your PCBANKS folder?

by any chance

[glass lake]

fuck

[odd crater]

the update added it again to everyone

[glass lake]

i didnt realize i had to that every update

my bad

good mod btw

[odd crater]

not everytime but sometimes

thx

[glass lake]

you ever planning to add custom props?

[odd crater]

I'd love too

in fact I started using the necessary tools

I'll try to add some soon

nothing fancy at first

[glass lake]

i could be a possible tester👀

[odd crater]

sure

I always look for feedback when I update, except no one ever gives it lol

[glass lake]

id be happy to help. I added you as a friend, just dm me when you feel necassary

[odd crater]

I also used to have experimental versions for testing purpose

people downloaded them but never gave feedback

ok, will do

thanks

[waxen cedar]

so the backpacks and pet storage things serve no function, right?

[odd crater]

Well, judging from the new files, there doesn't seem to be any entity/behavior attached.

It's just models I believe

[odd crater]

However, they changed the entity of a pre release asset?

MODELS\PLANETS\BIOMES\WOODLAND\LARGEPLANT\MEDIUMOAK1\ENTITIES_TRUNK_A.ENTITY.MBIN

Maybe they are testing something?

[round aurora]

anyone know what may be a cause of crashing everytime i try to either teleport or jump to a new system? i have tried removing all kinds of mods i have (mostly Qol and cosmetic ones) and i just keep getting borked

it's fine if i'm loading into a system, but as soon as i try to TP i crash - any ideas what interaction may cause this?

_Jasondude and Exosolar's Hybrid Expanse for 2.2x (Synthesis)
_Somnixer.AsteroidOverhaul.1.0
Better Freighter Tractor Beam 2.0
HD Clouds 4K 1.2
Jetpack - Enhanced - BEYOND - VERSION 2 - Updated 28-08-2019
No Auto Ladder
No high Clouds 2.0
Rotating Atmosphere 1.1
VV_NOPULSELINESHOVER

these are the mods i use, and they seem to be working fine as long as i stay in the same system, and they worked fine an update ago

[fallow meadow]

@round aurora Only way to know for sure if crashing is caused by mods, is by removing them all to see if it still happens. If no longer an issue, put the mods back in one at a time until the issue is back to know which one is most likely the culprit

[round aurora]

guess it's banging the head against a wall again then

[fallow meadow]

Large updates can at times be a pain ...

... if indeed caused by a mod

[round aurora]

funny thing is, from the patch notes nothing indicated that something would bork like this from the mods i have

mfw no dedicated log and mod support

[fallow meadow]

Yeah, I agree, but you never know what all has been done under the hood

If the issue remains though, make sure to report to Zendesk. If you do find the culprit, see if you can inform the mod developer for a fix

May take a bit as it's all hence on deck again atm as per usual with a large update

[round aurora]

no mods works fine, but i've yet to identify the culprit atm

i'll give it a look-see, maybe contact the mod bois after i'm done

[fallow meadow]

okdk, good luck

[round aurora]

lmao, the noautoladder was the culprit

goddamnit Shaun

[fallow meadow]

@round aurora I certainly did not expect that, but there ya go ... the fun of modding (or using them for that matter)

[round aurora]

now every mod borks though - sent em my details to zendesk

we shall see

[vale iron]

Yeah a handful of globals with a wide range got updated, like UI and Player

[gusty zenith]

gameplayglobals also updated

i cant open playerglobals w latest mbincompiler, i guess we wait for an update ?

[vale iron]

Correct

[obsidian tree]

For those interested in following the progress of MBINCompiler being updated, here is the ticket: https://github.com/monkeyman192/MBINCompiler/issues/295
Note: A struct being ticket off means that it has been completed and will be in the next release of mbincompiler.

[gusty zenith]

i guess gameplayglobals isn't compiling correctly either, i made a few changes to refiner speed and tech upgrade limit but neither setting is getting applied, also my FOV drops alot

[obsidian tree]

see the list in the link I just posted to see what globals have changed

[gusty zenith]

yep it's in there

[dusky plume]

Is there anything like Minecraft's Vanilla Tweaks for small QOL upgrades in NMS?

[hushed bronze]

Minecraft is illegal

[dusky plume]

I mean, cool, but that doesn't answer the question

[hybrid halo]

is there a mod that has space brakes?

i just figured reverse and forward is useful in space and planets but it would be nice to use a dedicated button to space brake

[vale iron]

It would be nice, particularly when you're trying to get to 0 speed, but I don't know if it's possible. You could do it with CheatEngine probably, by setting the overspeed brake high

[hybrid halo]

hmm

well i wonder about that idea i told you earlier

any experienced modders know if you can make a black hole guidance module? that would be awesome

like, you install the module and you can input coordinates, make it take a material that is annoying to get so it doesn't feel cheap. whenever you go into a black hole you'll come out at those coordinates

[vale iron]

The best I can think of is you could maybe use some of Mjjstral's stuff to trigger a portal interface, but I don't know if that would actually transport you

But maybe someone else knows something 🙂

[vale iron]

Save Editing to Skip Pet Egg Timer:
If you want to skip the pet egg timer with a save editor, you need to know the obfuscated options to choose. Since the save editor hasn't been updated for the Companions update, it takes some guessing, which I have done for you. To skip the egg timer, open your save in save editor, go to edit raw JSON, PlayerStateData, Mcl, then 0-5, depending on which pet you want to edit. Inside that pet, go to tDR and set the value to 0. Save everything, then restart, and the egg will be ready to hatch.

[obsidian tree]

For those not in the modding discord, here is my latest mbincompiler build

it has still got lots that needs to be done, but I am too tired to do it tonight, so I'll get a proper release up tomorrow

[sinful anvil]

Sleep well! 😊

[eternal pollen]

soo, there exists a mod for the millennium falcon, does it still work?

[vale iron]

No but we're working on it. No promises

[eternal pollen]

neato

good luck

[alpine oasis]

Search for the mod author lo2k on the nexus, he has a bunch of small fixes

[alpine oasis]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880

[dusky plume]

that looks awesome, thanks @alpine oasis

[frozen phoenix]

@vale iron hey gumsk, you make a mod for skipping the egg hatch timer?

[limber wedge]

Is there a mod for turning off weather effects on your hud?

[vale iron]

Not yet, but I posted save edit instructions for it above, and I or someone else will have a mod for it within 48 hours.

@obsidian tree

[waxen cedar]

Hmm

What are the creature types or seeds for sentinel quads and biological horrors? Or do they even have one

Oh, it appears that biological horrors can be added as pets

Which files should I look into for the stuff? Going to play around a bit @vale iron

[vale iron]

Not sure, haven't had enough time with the new files. METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM has a bunch of files. CreatureGlobals probably does as well, but can't open that yet.

[obsidian tree]

that will come tonight (except maybe not the latest experimental ones...)

[long turtle]

is it known if any non camera mods are causing issues with third person camera being janky since the new patch?

[gusty zenith]

@long turtle all i can say is that using a modified version of GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS.MBIN causes my game to use a really low FOV so i suspect it could be anything that is causing that issue, alot of mods will need to be updated for this most recent companion update

i would recommend testing each of ur mods one at a time to see which one is causing the issue

[long turtle]

ill test the one that uses gameplayglobals and see if that helps
I checked the comments of most mods im using and cant find any culprits there

thank you!

[raven heart]

I was pinged

[lime mesa]

The field names on left side are what? Code obfuscation? Shorting for skimming on save file size?

[obsidian tree]

they are basically obfuscated yep

but we know the alg to go from the right to the left, so it's easy once we have the names of the fields (as I provided above)

[lime mesa]

Wait, really? There's an alg to turn full field names into these 3 char long thingies?

[obsidian tree]

yeah

it's a hash

not cryptographic or anything ofc

I don't remember what it's called

[lime mesa]

Wondering why HG would do that

[obsidian tree]

I RE-d it a while ago to figure out the algorithm to translate english words to the alien words in the game, and it turns out that one part of the alg is this same one

make is fractionally harder for us? I dunno haha

[lime mesa]

Damn, as a shitty hobby programmer Im impressed by this

Kudos to you folks for figuring this out

[vale iron]

Wasn't it called Scary or something like that?

Spooky

[obsidian tree]

spookyhash! yeah!

haha

I RE'd it and didn't even know!

I was just thinking "this is a really weird algorithm..."

im no modder

but id like to use those

can someone try and get to patch up one of these mods ?

Anybody else on the experimental branch getting a CTD when leaving to the main menu?

[long turtle]

Does this still include the drones and such rewards?

[willow isle]

Too bad we cant have some Subnautica ports over

[hybrid horizon]

So do all mods stop working after a big update like this?

And is reinstalling (after they have been updated) the only way of fixing them?

[alpine oasis]

it depends on what files the mods change, really

if you have planet generation mods, they'll probably be fine after a small update like this

but some mods that modify globals might be affected

it's best to either just test all of your mods or delete the ones you know will probably be incompatible

or just delete them all and wait for them to update

[hoary stirrup]

After I installed the new updates when I start up the game with mods the game gets stuck and crashes on the "Hello Games" screen at the start. I've tried deleting the mods one by one and testing each of them. All of them crash. However when I start up the game without mods it works just fine. Anyone have this problem? And is there any solution? Thanks

[vale iron]

It's possible all the mods you are using are old. Do you have a list?

[hoary stirrup]

yes, here are the links
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1487

[hoary stirrup]

nevermind, found the problem. thanks for the help though

[blazing crescent]

does a mod exist that makes planets slightly realistically distanced from each other

[vale iron]

Not that I know of, though I know I've heard people talk about it before, so maybe someday there will be

[blazing crescent]

some day

[timid wasp]

Does anyone have a mod to make your flashlight and other game lights cast shadows? It seems like only the sun casts any in the vanilla game

[timber lark]

Any reason why the pinned No Man's Sky old versions won't launch on my machine? I own the game. been playing since launch. I shouldn't have had to have owned the steam launch version to run it right? I owned it on GOG back in 1.0

welp, ended up having to crack a game I've owned since launch 😛

[odd crater]

Apparently, HG forgot the descriptor file for a mangrove model that is used in their swamp biome...

It doesn't seem like they cut it last minute either, just forgot a piece of it. I created it and the model looks and plays fine.

Another possible shape.

[haughty shale]

does modding affect the game?

[odd crater]

Fun fact : if you look at Origins release notes, you can see that this model appears in the swamp screenshots.

[haughty shale]

does modding affect other peoples games?

[odd crater]

It depends on the MODs you use.

terrain and environment mods will only work for you, so you'll be "desynced" from other people.

Like, you won't see the same things

[haughty shale]

so would it like affect the game

[vale iron]

Be more specific with what you are wondering, please

[haughty shale]

I wanted to get the better weather mod but I dont want to break the game

[vale iron]

It won't break the game, you'll just see different weather

[odd crater]

this

All universe modifications will only affect you.

[haughty shale]

but if there was like a mod that let me like teleport and stuff would others see it?

[odd crater]

If it's only small values tweaks, it won't matter much

[vale iron]

They'd see you not there

Because you teleported away

[haughty shale]

but if i teleported back would they see me

[odd crater]

yes

[vale iron]

If you have a mod that makes you move really quickly, they see you moving that way

[haughty shale]

if i got a mod where like there would be new animals and stuff would it appear for other people?

[odd crater]

no

MODs that "add" things won't work for them

because they will lack the files

[haughty shale]

but if they had the mod they would see it?

[odd crater]

those that modify what is already there are ok except for environment

yes

same mods, same game

[haughty shale]

if i got a mod that added like holes would they see me falling through the world

[odd crater]

yes

but through the floor

[haughty shale]

ok

[odd crater]

because they won't see the hole without the mod

[haughty shale]

ok thanks

[round creek]

anyone know how to save edit the pet stats? for example make them taller? I am guessing I have to use goatfungus save editor?

[vale iron]

Taller is the scale value at the very beginning

@round creek

[round creek]

@vale iron got it, THANKS!!

is there any list on where the name of the body parts are?

would wanna change my trex's rat head XD

[vale iron]

That's extremely complex, at least relative to other save edits. You need to look up the TREX Rigging and see what heads are possible, then change it to one of those

It's a TREX body? I can lookup the heads

[round creek]

@vale iron yep seems like it, is there any sourcce file that I can extract and look through the parts name mappings so I could go through it myself searching around? just need to be pointed to right direction😅

[vale iron]

This should be the file you want: MODELS\PLANETS\CREATURES\TREXRIG\TREX.DESCRIPTOR.MBIN

[round creek]

@round creek how do I extract it? and can I look through the names with text editor or a special tool is needed?

[vale iron]

You'll need NMS Mod Station and MBIN Compiler

[round creek]

okay thanks again

[vale iron]

No problem at all

[cerulean vault]

what are some good qol mods for todays versions

I dont wanna drastically change the game

[vale iron]

Lo2k has a lot of good qol mods

[cerulean vault]

will they work in companions

[cerulean vault]

actually do you know anything that will be good for my fps

[round creek]

you could try one of those RTX 3000 cards from nvidia, I hear they are mythical

[cerulean vault]

oh that would be great if the game didnt focus on cpu

[round creek]

try lowering animation detail and planet complexity, should take stress off from cpu

@vale iron thanks found the part names for trex!, is there any way to view these parts? other than save editing and viewing in-game, I downloaded nms model viewer from https://bitbucket.org/gregkwaste/nms-viewer/downloads/ but I'm not sure which ones are the model files in the unpacked game files

[scenic escarp]

Yes, Lo2K has a separate page on Nexus Mod where he keeps a list of all of his mods and their status with the latest version. He just updated a ton of them, and most are working. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/880/

[odd stag]

@long turtle the current version includes "normal" Nexus Missions to give you Quicksilver and you can find Derelict Freighters. I did not updated Drones anymore, because most people prefered without drones afaik

I updated my "Less Asteroids" and my "No Camera Shake" mod today:

Less Asteroids:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1802

No Camera Shake:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1822

[long turtle]

ah thats understandable tbh.

[odd stag]

someone knows the current shopNumber & shopTier from the JSON file?

[frosty skiff]

Hey, someone has found a working or not outdated mods to make Freighter useful in fighting?

If yeah, just ping me please.

[hollow dirge]

Is everything is free updated?

[vale iron]

I know if you get Blender and the NMSDK plugin, you can import the SCENE file. Then you just hide or unhide parts to see what you want

[vale iron]

Probably not. I believe that requires the debug globals, which are not working yet.

[long turtle]

are there any working living ship timer reduction mods atm?

[obsidian tree]

fix to debug globals incoming 🙂

Is gumsk base building mod still working for 3.21?

[vale iron]

Yes, I updated it.

[opal light]

Nice, thx so much man 👍

[timber lark]

Hey, @hushed bronze When hacking the older versions of the game to change their save locations, what location in the binary did you need to edit? I've been using HXD to try and find strings related to 'hellogames' or 'save' but have so far had no luck

[heavy oar]

@opal light ??

Base building mod??

[opal light]

Yes, just to remove some restriction of building ranges, size setting, and axis setting, etc

Im base builder to, need more creativity

[heavy oar]

woah soo

like the 16K limit?

[vale iron]

No, we still don't have a way around that

Gumsk is one of the most popular NMS modder here, you can ask him

Just always back up your save before modding a lot of mods, you may crash your save file

[heavy oar]

@vale iron i want them to get rid of that

[half verge]

Is there a way to increase stack size now with new update, all the mods seem to not work now

[alpine oasis]

this mod increases all stack sizes to 9999 and just got uploaded: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1854?tab=files

[half verge]

Is there any that allow higher? was hoping to get past the 9999 limit for oxygen and chlorine and what not

[alpine oasis]

I am able to stack up resources past 9999 after installing the mod, so itll probably work

[half verge]

Oh really? odd, not working for me

ya im still capped at 9999 with mod

[alpine oasis]

sorry, i linked the wrong mod, the one im using is this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1855

[half verge]

Ahh, gotcha, let me check that one out

that worked, thank you!!

[exotic field]

Hey... someone in #nms-questions told me I should use the savegame editor to delete my current freighter to get access to a new free one because I didn't know I should skip the first free freighter.

Any idea how to properly do that? I don't want to ruin my savegame.
My steps would be:

1. https://nomansskymods.com/mods/no-mans-sky-save-editor/# download that
2. remove section CurrentFreighterHomeSystemSeed
3. remove section CurrentFreighter

would that be the right way to go?

[abstract heath]

Are there any mods that remove the base limit? There is one, I can confirm

[hallow pumice]

@abstract heath https://aminoapps.com/c/no-mans-sky-amino-hub/page/item/pc-how-to-remove-base-build-limits-no-mods/66Zr_YYFYI6gmGwM6RmmZdBKoVDPKzeD6r

[abstract heath]

unfortunately, this applies to base building parts, not the total amount of bases

[hushed bronze]

@timber lark I don't remember exactly, Gmr was the one who showed me what to do waaay back. I'll see if I can find it

@timber lark This is it, if im not mistaken

#forever-archived-legacy message

He used letters where I personally used version numbers like "109" and "124"

'but the tutorial and effect is the same

Of course, if you're just tryna make the same edits we did, you could just DL the version I have posted on google drive (its in the pins)

Its easy to DL only the exe for example

[vale iron]

What number are you seeing as the cap? I can try to find that number, but unfortunately many of these types of limits are based on the save game structure and can't be changed.

[marble ridge]

Just out of curiosity, if someone on PC gives an egg of a creature normally untamable to someone on console, would it work?

[vale iron]

I plan on testing that today.

[marble ridge]

Want help?

[vale iron]

I might. I need to do some setup first

[marble ridge]

Alrighty

[hushed bronze]

Some modders just wanna watch 18 quintillion worlds burn

[marble ridge]

That would be an interesting sight

[waxen cedar]

wait, have you solved how to have untameable creatures?

need the files

[vale iron]

Save editing. You have to know the appropriate creature type, then the descriptors to fill it out. Most of them don't work properly, though. Like you can't interact with any of them, the walker freezes multiplayer and just glitches around, and the flying snake looks more like a sandworm and doesn't move

@waxen cedar

[waxen cedar]

ah

so basically I can just go to the raw JSON in save editor and edit those

I had that in mind but I don't know any of the descriptors

[hushed bronze]

This is all about taming a Sentinel Drone, isn't it

You can't fool me

[left sentinel]

yeah I saw someone use save editing to make their pet an alien horror

no animations though so it was mostly useless

[minor moat]

Has anyone tested the giant beetles?

[waxen cedar]

Let's admit it. We all want our own sentinel pets

[vale iron]

The drone doesn't work. Really anything that flies doesn't work properly. The biological horror and quad work pretty well, though you can't interact

The shark floated off into the sky

[minor moat]

Hmm, any mods for timers on creatures? Apparently takes an insanely long time to grow, time skip doesn't "work" fully (reverts them to whatever age they were at the date so i'm guessing age is based on date hatched vs current date)

[vale iron]

Search for pet egg timers on Nexusmods

[quick plume]

Hey guys, do you know any working + to stacking items? All I know arent updated and crash the game. There are two new mods (nexus) but the creators are fresh created so not sure if I should download it.

[vale iron]

There's nothing really they can do to your machine or game even if they wanted to, so don't worry about that. They will either work or not. I think you can trust them.

[minor moat]

Does that one work on maturation as well, or just eggs? Doesn't seem to say in the description

[vale iron]

Maturation as well, though I need to make two different versions I guess

[minor moat]

Ah neat, thanks! I'll try that out.

[red spoke]

just saying yall that find the 2 week growth timer more frustrating than the daily lockout thing. theres a mod to fix that on nexusmods

[vale iron]

What daily lockout?

[quick plume]

Oki, will try it then. ty

[red spoke]

daily lockout i refered to missions but also the egg laying/hatching specifically. related to the pets stuff. other than that im fine with the 24 h timer

i just dont wanna wait 2 entire weeks which i dont understand why they couldnt base the mature timer on in game time

like just x day/night cycles

[vale iron]

Yeah, I just set all the timers to basically 0. In-game timers are better, I agree

[minor moat]

2 weeks for maturation is worse than ARK 😂

[red spoke]

ikr @minor moat

i play both lol

[minor moat]

Thanks for the mod though! Haven't tried mods for NMS yet so i'm reading up on it

[red spoke]

i mean sorta at same time not worse if u ever matured a giga on official which takes 2 weeks. so unofficial > official @minor moat

which mod @vale iron ?

[minor moat]

most stuff isn't gigas though, they're just an exception to the normal timers

[red spoke]

wanna give the timer mod ur refering to? :v

[vale iron]

GCreatures Pet Egg Timers

[red spoke]

thats what im using lol

THANK U :P

[vale iron]

My pleasure 🙂 I got it out as quickly as possible, as I knew it would be wanted

[red spoke]

atm im just waitin for the other timer mods to be updated for recent patch

[vale iron]

Which ones?

[red spoke]

cuz i tried having them on and it crashed my game lol

the mission/base mission timers, the living ship timers etc etc

theres mods for that but it crashed my game lol

i had to remove them lol

[vale iron]

I think a living ship one was updated but not mission/base timers

Let me look at it really quickly

There's a living ship one, but not the base one, yeah. Let me see if I can work out a combined mod until they get theirs updated

[vale iron]

@red spoke

That should work until someone updates one of the official ones. Void Eggs Over Easy should work for void timers

[red spoke]

Ty

[minor moat]

Something I missed somewhere I think, there's no secondary files/settings changes I need for mod installation right?

[vale iron]

You need to delete DISABLEMODS.txt from PCBANKS folder

[minor moat]

Yep, did that part

Extracted .zip, placed .pak in folder, deleted the .txt

[vale iron]

Ok, then as long as they are in the MODS folder as PAK files, they should be recognized

not working?

[minor moat]

No change ingame it seems (though I don't have an egg to test with atm, creatures just still juvenile)

[vale iron]

Do you have more than one mod?

[minor moat]

Nope, first one installed. I do use a different directory for my steam games though if that's potentially interfering.

[vale iron]

That shouldn't matter. Did you get a red warning message when you loaded the game?

[minor moat]

Did not, unless it stays only for a few seconds and I missed it somehow

[vale iron]

No, you have to click through it. That means that the txt file is there, the folder is incorrectly named, or the mods are in the wrong place

Or the mods are incorrectly named

[minor moat]

...ah yep i'm a moron and missed the /MODS folder part. Sorry.

[vale iron]

No worries!

[red spoke]

Lol

Gg lol

[minor moat]

There we go, red warning screen. Thanks

[red spoke]

@minor moat do u mean windows popup? Oooor the no mans sky headsup its modded?

[minor moat]

The modded notification

[vocal zodiac]

does a mod exist (and is up-to-date) that removes the ridiculous enviro vignettes

[vale iron]

Hmm, you could try my https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1831 , but not sure if it's what you want

[vocal zodiac]

oh no, i mean the edge effect, i love the fog/dust

it's just the vignettes that surround the screen. always very irritating

[red spoke]

Aka stars go zoom on urscreen kinda thing @vocal zodiac ?

The hyperjump effect?

[lime mesa]

Wasn't there an option for toggling the vignette and scanlines in game options?

[lime mesa]

Louvre material right there ^^^

[vocal zodiac]

the environmental effects that occur on the window, like frost and fire

also yeah it's my greatest work

in case you didn't already twig, it's the red shit around the screen

i know there's a mod for it somewhere, i just haven't been able to find one that's up to date for a while

i need a mod that removes JUST those environmental border effects

[vale iron]

I can make one maybe in an hour. Working on another project for someone right now

[vocal zodiac]

hey, i'd rly appreciate that if you can

take however long you need

[red spoke]

@vale iron also btw i tested the living ship and the void egg timer mod and it gave me crashes literally yesterday so that one have to wait a bit

but ty for the mod at least

[vale iron]

That's strange. I'll look at making one for that in a little while

[proper briar]

Is there any mod to reduce pop in when flying in a ship over a planet

[graceful drift]

anyone got a hover mod that works for this version? mine stopped working

[scenic escarp]

I think I just successfully used AMUMSS with two LUA files to create a merged PAK, and I'm giddy. #babysteps

[vocal zodiac]

good stuff :]

@vale iron sorry to bother, any progress?

[scenic escarp]

Of course, now I have questions! So far I've only used BUILDMOD to either (1) check for file-level conflicts in a group of PAK files, or (2) merge mods using only LUA files. Now if I want to merge two mods, but only one has an LUA file, can I just put the PAK from one and the LUA from the other, and BUILDMOD will create a new merged mod, applying the LUA changes to the other PAK, instead of to the NMS source?

[graceful drift]

anyone got any neat flightmods?

[spare laurel]

Does anyone have a "Best Off" list for Graphic Mods?

[vale iron]

Sorry had to go up sleep. I'll be back up in maybe 5 hours

[vale iron]

I can get you my flight mod if you want it in several hours

[graceful drift]

Sure, does it have hover??

In planets 😁

[vocal zodiac]

no wuz :]

[graceful drift]

Im about to go to sleep but you can pm me when you want

[hushed bronze]

Anyone wanna buy a 512GB samsung SSD that got wiped out by windows installer for no reason even though it was installing to a different drive?

[coarse ridge]

Hope they put sticky ladders in base game sometime...

[hushed bronze]

No wait its my big drive not reading in for now reason

[coarse ridge]

Too much risk in buying second hand drives.
It couldve been used up to near death.
It could hold a number of virusses.

[hushed bronze]

No no, formatting cleared it. Its not faulty

At least I thought so till I looked closer, its actually a side partition and a different drive isnt showing in

Oh I need to read better lol

[coarse ridge]

I mean, more storage for porn is always useful,. But still.

[hushed bronze]

anyway my drive has been used about 3 years but its Windows Trimmed (not raided)

Raid breaks Trim, which causes the damage to newer drives

Unraided SSD's generally just last ages

Super old models that dont suppoort trim are basically all ruined by now anyway 😄

[coarse ridge]

For raid you want identical drives. Or if you use an ssd, dont fill it completely so it can wear level.

[hushed bronze]

Trim still wont run through raid, its a big part of wear levelling

Or rather, I think some better raid controllers can do it, but cheaper ones can't

In any case I switched up to a nice lil nvme, don't use raid

[coarse ridge]

The performance gain from raid isnt really that noticeable on ssd anyway

Cheaper models may actually perform worse

[hushed bronze]

Could be on the satas, but for twin Nvmes, no way you don't bottleneck a different part

[tidal portal]

Why doesn’t nms have a mod workshop on steam? Is it cause devs don’t really like the mods?

[scenic escarp]

Huh. I never even knew that was a thing 🙂 Only ever found game mods via Nexus.

[scenic escarp]

Curious to hear the responses to your question, though with a VR bent. I know in Skyrim there were a lot of graphic mods that were great for flat screen, but awful for VR (in terms of resolution and performance).

[vocal jewel]

I was reluctant to return to the game for the Pets update because I have a nasty habit of deleting saves and needed to start again, but thankfully there's a mod that deletes the tutorial and gives me what I need right off the bat 😊

also has an alternate version that deletes the entire story save for the Anomaly unlock quest 😳

[vale iron]

@vocal zodiac you wanted to remove all environmental effects, or just storms?

[winter solar]

He want the annoying ''Hud'' effects in the edges of the screen when its cold, hot, toxic etc, not just when in storms,

Its annoying me too

[hushed bronze]

Blanking whatever DDS's correlate would probably do that just fine. Would make an update-impervious mod, too.

[vale iron]

I tried that in ScreenFilters right before leaving home, but didn't get good results. I'll grep for the dds reference when I get back to see if it's somewhere else.

Also, having crashes with the new experimental with a couple of DDS replacement mods. Nothing complicated and it worked yesterday, so I don't know what's going on

[hushed bronze]

Nah those aren't in screen filters, they are image overlays in the textures folder. I dont remember exactly what subfolder, but you will find the exact frost edge effects and its buddies all in one place, and you can likely hijack a valid blank from a visor effects deletion mod. Just swap in the right names on some blanks, pack it, call it a day 🙂

Technically, you rpobably could disable them in a settings file of some kind, but the image-blanking method is immune to nearly all updates so you never have to revisit it

And easy, and doesn't overlap popular files for other mods

[long turtle]

I have a mod that expands the tech page of the exosuit inventory to the 8x6 that was working fine yesterday but isnt working today and im unsure on why its stopped working.

the only thing ive changed since yesterday was adding a mod that changed stuff in the debug global which the inv mod 100% doesnt touch and theres 0 conflicts and im So Confused

[hushed bronze]

U BROKE IT

forever. Discovery servers corrupted and HG bankrupted

@long turtle Debug mods have often been the source of bizarre and logically impossible errors in my experience

[long turtle]

Like the mod in question is one that makes the starting multitool random (edited to not include the ship like the original file, and i added multiple player friehgters in one system and skipping intro)

im gonna test in a moment to see if its the skip intro thats effecting it but boi its so weird

i mean its my first time editing mods and i know i didnt like. write bad code bc all i did was change values from false to true. so at least i got that going for me.

[hushed bronze]

Yup. Debug often defies the logic that applies to practically everything else in NMS modding. I had one case where switching something unrelated to missions, deleted all missions forever. Ofc that means you can't leave your starter world

[long turtle]

oof.

i mean i went on an adventure today of trying to update a living ships mission timer mod. all of them cant be opened by like any version of mbincompliler so i had to find the original file in the pak files, and work out what values = the living ship.

i can safely say i did edit it, but i have no saves anywhere close to getting a living ship so i have no idea if it works. so i edited the base timer and animal eggs too so if they have the right timers then ive Probably done it right

its been fun merging mods by hand tbh?
and being able to tweak the values as i go where i understand them

[hushed bronze]

All those other files typically do what they should, except for deprecated values, which generally just do nothing

@long turtle That said though, if you're gonna make loads of edits, you should keep some notes to track them or you will probably eventually end up with glitches that you can't even remember how you caused

[long turtle]

tbh i have no idea what ive even edited mfw

i know ive mainly just merged mods or changed some timers / values of stuff like mission reward amounts. and if my game gets too wacky ill just start over

[hushed bronze]

BTW Some fellas should test this for me and see if its working (direct port of the tested older version)

My PC literally cannot run NMS at this time so I can't test jack squat lol

[long turtle]

i can test that for you if you want

(and yes ill turn off all my other mods while im doing it)

works fine afaik
no weird zoom issues, p much instant scan

so i think i worked out my issue possibly

as the tech mod works on an old save but not a new save

i think by randomizing the multitool it somehow makes it so the tech slots dont factor in on the exosuit. bc i assume if it was anything else then it would also not work on my other save

ok no its just the debug in general something in that is doing weird stuff and im too tired to work it out

i dont rly care enough to test like each variation of an edit to see if its any specific line thats making the other mod be weird its just funky

[vale iron]

@long turtle Did you update to the new experimental Steam version?

[long turtle]

not as far as i know
exo said its just debug being debug

[vale iron]

Could be, was just checking that, though. I had 4 mods mysteriously break after that update

[long turtle]

removing the mod that edited the debug made the inventory one work again so shrugs
it was weird because it was only acting up on new saves, my existing save was fine

[vale iron]

Authors aren't always 100% on top of things, sometimes they add a new change and forget to update the description, for example

[long turtle]

oh no i went and edited the debug myself so i could add in a couple of extra bits

[vale iron]

KnownRecipes I believe. One second

PlayerStateData\KnownProducts . Looks like they all start with "^FOOD_

[lime mesa]

That would make sense given HG removed all specialized bait and left only Creature Pellets and Ion Batteries (for robotic fauna)?

[vale iron]

There should be lots of other food, though

And I think they actually advanced bait in, with a flag to turn it off

Are you using a save editor or manually editing the JSON?

They should all be in the Discoveries tab, so you don't have to do it manually

[vocal zodiac]

i just want to remove the screen borders when environmental protection is active

like sometimes esp during big storms theyre very difficult to see through and i dont like em. i dont like em!!! GWARK

[vale iron]

I'm looking into it. I'm getting a bad feeling that it's not simple. Previous attempts used shaders, which we can't do anymore

[vocal zodiac]

i mean, theyre just viewport shaders right?

[vale iron]

I have no idea what they are. I just know that since the switch to Vulkan, it's been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to mod shaders.

[waxen cedar]

I wonder

has anyone tried having an NPC pet like Korvax etc?

[lime mesa]

What are you, First Spawn?

[vocal zodiac]

disturbing implications

[vale iron]

Hmmmm, I have mostly recovered from my reinstall. Maybe time to tinker

[waxen cedar]

@vale iron so does the XID of pet determine which type it is

or does one have to change all of the parts

just curious of what the sentinel drones are called for example

[vale iron]

Each pet type will have a descriptor file, within which is a branching structure listing all the valid parts for that ID. If you don't get any correct parts, it will be invisible. If you only get some, you get things like headless diplos. If you go through and get it perfect, you'll get a full creature, customizable. @waxen cedar

[waxen cedar]

Ah. Do you have the uncompiled file where I could see some of the parts?

[vale iron]

The big trouble I'm having is that the XID doesn't match up with any known list of creature IDs, so I don't know what is possible

[waxen cedar]

oh

[waxen cedar]

is creature speed linked to its size?

[vale iron]

Not sure

[waxen cedar]

doing some testing

do you happen to remember what the sentinel quad body was called

don't really care about the legs etc. Just the body

[vale iron]

It doesn't have any descriptors. Same for the walker and drone.

[waxen cedar]

ah

[odd stag]

someone knows the current shopNumber & shopTier from the JSON file?

[vale iron]

44:3 is what I have

[scenic escarp]

Never mind. Answered my own question, and managed to successfully merge a couple LUAs with a PAK that didn't have one of its own. Next step: Create some LUAs for mods that don't have them. Do we get badges for each little modding baby step?

[vocal zodiac]

hey @hushed bronze , are you still making mods on Nexus? noticed a lot of your stuff is like, zero files?

[vocal zodiac]

also @vale iron i have a mod request, if you've the time for it - longer spaces between storms, but longer storms. also possibly nullifying hot rain on lush planets because fuck the spicy rain. that's all, thank you

[odd stag]

perfect, thanks!

[covert trail]

What's the best save editor for no mans sky?

[hushed bronze]

@vocal zodiac I have not been active, a lot of those mods get their files dropped to "Old Files" once the current version no longer runs it, and they haven't been getting replaced

[tidal portal]

@vale iron @covert trail you meet you and you meet you

[vocal zodiac]

understandable! i just ask cuz Painless Rain hasnt been working, was a favourite of mine

[tidal portal]

Is no mans guy a moderator? Or just highest achieve-able role here?

[vale iron]

I have an update for that

[tidal portal]

Gumsk meet Joe and Joe, Gumsk

[vale iron]

Howdy. It's just a higher user role, not moderator

[hushed bronze]

Yeah I mentioned that one to Gumsk recently, Did you make a new rain mod Gumsk?

[vale iron]

Yeah I need to test it though

[covert trail]

Hi gumsk have a few questions about mods . are you willing to answer them?

[tidal portal]

I actually wish that you could dual wield MTs is it possible?

[vale iron]

Sure, it's 4am and I'm awake in the middle of the night, though, so I could fall back asleep at any time ;)

No dual multitool

[tidal portal]

Oh man

[covert trail]

How do mods work with conjunction to multiplayer?

[hushed bronze]

MP don't give a shit

[tidal portal]

‘How well do mods work with MP?’

[hushed bronze]

But if mods mess with terrain height, you and your buddies are gonna be at screwy elevations compared to each other

[covert trail]

Yeah that

[hushed bronze]

My answer was exact, MP has no prevention measures against mods at all

[tidal portal]

So yea what i hear is ^

[hushed bronze]

Use away. Planets will be different between freinds if you have different mods that affect planets

[vale iron]

You'll see different things based on the mods installed

[tidal portal]

What about minor mods like NO space dust

Or does that not do anything to Mp?

[covert trail]

Ah kk , the players don't give a fuck too I guess . so if you have a custom model ship your friends won't see it right but they would see it if it was made with ingame assets?

[vale iron]

The other person still sees dust

[tidal portal]

Ok

[vale iron]

Right, Joe

[tidal portal]

Joe check the Nexus page for NMS

Our boi gumsk has made many minor adjustment mods and some large adjustment ones

[hushed bronze]

@covert trail Ships are normally built from a logic structure like the planets are so if their ship isn't a full override by an external model, they would just see different arrangement of parts

[covert trail]

Ah okay, so technically I could build a custom ship , how can a guy do this?

[hushed bronze]

not really

its a seed based thing

You can enhance the system that builds from the seed but its still seed driven

[tidal portal]

Find a ship seed on nmseeds and i csn make a ship appearance like it on any ship u buy

[covert trail]

With a save editor I guess right?

[tidal portal]

NMS Save Editor

Yes

[hushed bronze]

yea that seed bank is as close as you will get to building the specific ship you want

[covert trail]

Ah okay

[tidal portal]

This https://www.nmseeds.club is from beyond and i think the seeds still work im not sure tho

[vale iron]

They do

[tidal portal]

“Not sure” thanks for confirming

[covert trail]

Hey gumsk how do you make custom pets?

[tidal portal]

Do u mean modded custom pets?

[vale iron]

You need to know how the descriptors work. You put in a pet ID in save editing then list the different parts from the descriptors file

[covert trail]

Like horrors as pets

[vale iron]

In the save editor

[covert trail]

How do the descriptors work?

I'm guessing editing the raw JSon for the pet stufd

[vale iron]

It's a branching structure file with all the options for that creature type. Ships work the same way

Yes, raw

[covert trail]

Ah okay

[covert trail]

So how would I go about getting a robot dog?

[vale iron]

You can use NMS modding station to look through the files and find descriptor files

[tidal portal]

But theres only 1 creature we can get how many creatures types are there?

By one i mean not fish or birds or miners

[covert trail]

Where is the pet stuff in the json file?

[vale iron]

There are lots, just most of them don't work right. For example the sentinel dog is QUAD but you can't interact with it

[vocal zodiac]

did you get my rq btw gumsk? the message i sent earlier, sorry if it's a bad time

[vale iron]

PlayerStateData\Mcl

[covert trail]

So what kind of creatures work normally ?

[vale iron]

Which one? Painless rain I have but need to test

[vale iron]

So far, only the normally tameable ones, from my testing

[vocal zodiac]

"longer spaces between storms, but longer storms" :]

[tidal portal]

Can one use the editor while ingame? Or does it crash editor

Save editor*

[vale iron]

I can do that tomorrow but probably won't publish it

[covert trail]

Using the descriptors I can build a custom ship right?

[vocal zodiac]

sounds good! thank you

[vale iron]

You can save edit while in game, then just reload the save

[tidal portal]

Ah okie

Or save then edit then reload?

[vale iron]

I'll need to look at how the ship is stored in the save file. I think it may just be stored by seed value and you can't specify parts like you can with pets

[tidal portal]

I think u can

NMSCE has most part list which will create a seed soo maybe

[vale iron]

No, they definitely don't

[tidal portal]

Oh

[vale iron]

They haven't RE-ed that formula

Reverse engineered

[covert trail]

How do I use the modding station?

[vale iron]

Someone made a neural net bot that figured out kind of a blurry picture, but I don't think anything was ever done with it

In Modding station, you need to first unpack the files in the menus

To change from mbin to exml so you can read the files, you need mbin Compiler installed. I recommend just installing AMUMSS, which will keep the compiler up to date

[covert trail]

Ah kk

I think audio got fucked up in the game

[vale iron]

How so?

[covert trail]

Weird sounds in the beginning like someone was trying to DJ but couldn't do shit

Then it straightened out in game

[tidal portal]

LOL

@vale iron be on soon or u just on to talk?

[gusty zenith]

anyone know which property value i need to change to detect objects on planets beyond ~900u?

things like ancient bones, storm crystals, etc

[vale iron]

Just chatting in bed until I fall asleep

It's a timer by seconds,I believe

[vale iron]

You could check the GGame Scan Only LUA to see a bunch of scanner variables there and see if one matches up. I don't know specifically off the top of my head

[tidal portal]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-sleeping-sleep-time-good-night-bedtime-gif-15916910

[gusty zenith]

@vale iron

  <Property name="TerrainResourceScanRange" value="1200" />

?

[vale iron]

Sounds like a good candidate! I think that's only going to be plants and minerals though

[gusty zenith]

i'm in gameplayglobals btw

[tidal portal]

think any mods for increasing S class scanner range for deep deposits and electrical sites?

not scanner range but increased chances of finding

[minor moat]

Is there just one big guide on save editing for NMS, I see a tool linked in the pinned messages. Is that the one currently used?

[vale iron]

Is it the Goatfungus one? There's no guide AFAIK.

[vale iron]
