@young zealot am I the only one who likes the simpler movement? 😄

[dim mortar]

Hi there! im making a youtube video using this amazing game and im wondering if anyone knows how to get closer to a true spectator camera? ive used the in game photo mode but i really wish it was a "video mode" as the photo mode tends to "freeze" the subjects in place. Thanks in advance!

[hushed bronze]

If you are in an online room with another player, photo mode wont have the time stopping effect

[hushed bronze]

I don't mind simpler movement but even the simple format is executed poorly imo

[zealous hill]

is it possible to change/increase the camera distance from the character?

[hearty wasp]

prolly impossible without cheat engine

and no one's found the right bit to flip yet

[hearty wasp]

check gcam on Nexus

[hearty wasp]

that'd require having a friend

[zealous hill]

i use gcam. dont know what the files named with "turbo" oder "Superturbo" do..
but i want the camera to go further away

[hearty wasp]

you can experiment with the lua and change the values

something about a camera offset, should be a set of x, y, z values

[zealous hill]

never did that.. how can i open a lua file?

[hearty wasp]

with a text editor

[zealous hill]

ok, i will try my best..

[vale iron]

I can help you with it tomorrow, but not today unfortunately. Turbo and superturbo are just hope fast the camera moves when you are in photo or build camera mode

[zealous hill]

Ah okay...
That would be pretty net if you could help me!
last question: how do i convert a lua file to a pak file that i can use it?

[hushed bronze]

We aren't friends? 😢

[hearty wasp]

sorry, our schedule is just too incompatible🥲

[waxen cedar]

what about disabling the "AllowPause" and all the other things referencing pausing?

it works with the discovery menu etc

[kindred panther]

Anyone know how to use the JSON editor to enable expeditions on an old save?

[zealous hill]

Its freakin annoying and unnormal that u get slower automatically in space.
Is there a mod who fixes this?

[hushed bronze]

wdym, the deceleration/limited acceleration thing?

[twilit smelt]

hm. what affects the visor detection range for 2* and 3* items like grav balls and curious deposits?

[glossy basalt]

ive been doing all my mods manually, but i recently installed MO2 for STALKER anomaly, and noticed it recognized NMS and also links to nexusmods - does anyone have experience with this (mostly for auto updating my mods)

[thorny void]

is there a way to change the stack size for permadeath, i dont play for the decreased stack sizes

[vale iron]

I'm pretty sure I changed survival/perma stack sizes in gStacks mod

[hollow jacinth]

@vale iron i browsed through all blue seeds in NMS seeds site and none of them was satisfyingly bright dark blue , maybe this screenie helps though

[vale iron]

The base computer cover?

[hollow jacinth]

would love to have golden parts of Golden Vector to be similar to this ball

[vale iron]

It's been a while since I touched that mod. Let me look

[hollow jacinth]

also as im using for removal mods , the glossy black should look somewhat better than usual

like in some orbits my black freighter looked red/orange without fog removal mod

[hearty wasp]

Hello there, I'd like to show all of you my RecTUM.
It's first in (hopefully, if I can be arsed) a series of mods changes everything base-building related (as long as there is not an existing mod doing the same thing).
RecTUM is the backbone of BuildFrame, aiming to condense vanilla categories into fewer ones, making more room for modded objects:

[fluid ginkgo]

has anyone made a ship editor yet?

or is that a bit outside the purview of modders?

[rapid sandal]

Almost everything in the game is procedurally generated, including ships. So when you look in your save file to see the info for your ship you will just see the seed value used to proc gen it. I believe there is a way to specify a custom list of parts in the save file, but I think only you would see it, not other network players. The discord server No Man's Sky - Creative & Sharing Hub has a bot you can use to specify the list of parts and colors you want, and it will then iterate through seed brute forcing the parts from them until it finds a seed that has the parts you asked for. That's about the closest to a ship editor at the moment.

[fluid ginkgo]

that's sick

now if only we could do it legit in game

I'm not against modding or save editing, but I think I would feel more accomplished if I spent a lot of effort and resources building the perfect ship myself

[rapid sandal]

There is someone else who is working on an in-game editor for certain values e.g. color of sky, height of mountains, ... But I don't think a ship editor is in their scope, again as the game gens them from a seed value, but it would allow you try diff seeds while in the game (not have to reload a save to see what the seed looks like).

If the bot and the in-game editor could be made to work together then that might give you your in-game ship editor.

[steel crypt]

I think it would be cool if on those crashed ships you don’t repair the ship but instead you can get a part from it. You could store that part in inventory and use it to build a ship or replace a part of your ship.

[rapid sandal]

Yeah, if mjstral and rayrod got their code together we could probably frankencode something to do this. Adding new ship part products and getting as rewards we could do via mod, but to use them to gen a seed in-game would require their stuff.

[lime mesa]

can someone make a mod that adds toast and the ability to put anomalys jam on it?

[hearty wasp]

wasn't there a person who made a food mod

I forgor who

[shy edge]

hi there

where can i find mods for v3.40?

all the mods ive tried crash the game

[hearty wasp]

you'll need to find files released during that time period

so around mid-late May 2021

don't get mods for 3.41 though

dunno why you'd want to play on an inferior 3.4 version but I digress

[shy edge]

hmm

il just grab v3.8 sentinels then

can i move my save file from old version to new one idont wanna start again?

[hearty wasp]

new versions can recognise old version saves automatically

[shy edge]

cheers

[magic lava]

Yes, @merry wasp

[shy edge]

are there many mods that work for the sentinel update?

[hearty wasp]

most mods that are updated do

you're prolly playing specifically on 3.80 because of reasons

in that case you need to just find mods that are updated between 16 feb to 18 feb

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_notes#Update_3.80_.28Sentinel.29

here're all the dates for your specific version needs

[merry wasp]

Yes i have a mod that van make it possible

Complete custom foods, like coffee

And geknip tea

Here's the link to the lua

Im currently working but if you have questions feel free

[lime mesa]

You do?

[twilit smelt]

could just grab the appropriate version of mbin and re-process the mod scripts - but no, just update. 🙂

[hearty wasp]

tbh if someone's asking for things specific for 3.40 I wouldn't think they have the ability to update their game

👃

[twilit smelt]

might just take a while. there's a lot of folks on slow net around the world. which is too bad, because there's a lot of new stuff.

@fiery owl https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1939

[fiery owl]

Question here.. is there a Mod that will help you make stacks of stuff? Like when you are making Metal Plating and don’t want to make just ONE each time?

[merry wasp]

you already can tho

[fiery owl]

You can? What? How? I have to keep making one and one and one by clicking on the stack

[merry wasp]

sec

one sec

gotta load the game

[fiery owl]

So even if I have already upgraded my nautlion, then it should be faster with this mod?

[merry wasp]

should be yes

base speed is now on 50u/s

[fiery owl]

What the heck. I have never seen that change amount. Hmm gonna test

I will be damned. It IS there. OYE!

[merry wasp]

haha

[fiery owl]

Thank you very much sir! Heh that saves me some build time!

[merry wasp]

well feel free to check my other mods tbh 🙂

[fiery owl]

I am definitely looking at the Exocraft one. Might install and give it a whirl!

I found HOVER the other day which changed my life.

[merry wasp]

lua is always provided

so if the speed are to much you can twaek them

[fiery owl]

I am always worried that the Roamer will run over everything.. but the Nautlion, mm I have wanted it to be an attack sub with speed. Got upgrades,. But still want some speed on it! This sounds like it might help push it a bit further

[merry wasp]

oh i roadkill everything

XD

roamer and mech are so much fun with this mod

colossus is also usefull

if you dont know how to work with lua just ask @fiery owl

[fiery owl]

Uh, .7z file sir? What the heck you suppose to open that with? That’s not a zipped file.

[merry wasp]

winrar or any other unzip program your pc comes with

7z is a free zip program

you can unzip it with everything XD

[fiery owl]

Hmmm I shall check that out too

[merry wasp]

its free and its good and opensource if i recall

[fiery owl]

I have installed and will test it out! Thank you! 🙂

[merry wasp]

np, normally you can unzip 7z file with the standard windows archiver tho

but whatever rocks your boat

[fiery owl]

When I tried that.. it didn;’t know what to open it with. I did download the 7-zip and its installed!

Anyone know if that uh.. what was it.. it was a mod to allow you to summon more than one freighter works again? I used to have it but then it didn’t get updated and I had to toss

[merry wasp]

think i have it somewhere

not sure if i made it into a lua

nope don't have the lua for it

should make one tbh XD

[vale iron]

You can strip out all except the one line about multiple freighters

[merry wasp]

Thx, but finished my lua yesterday eve, it's only 1 val change anyway

[heavy oar]

@vale iron did u finished implementing the normandy as a freighter?

[vale iron]

I have a problem with only three solutions: the hangar entry is really big. I can 1) have a huge, chunky hangar entry hanging off the model, 2) make the SR2 much bigger than canon to help hide the hangar, 3) make the SR2 a standalone freighter so I can delete the bulky parts of the hangar entry

[native nest]

been trying to find a mod that increases probability of colliding planets, is that a thing by chance?

[tidal portal]

I have been told that finding anything planet specific is not really a mod but unmoddable rng, even for me when trying to look for say more mega exotic red planets

from the mods people have told me about it either changes something surfscd side, or a mod that would change something that has a chance of just not changing

[native nest]

dang it, thank you very much for your response !

[untold kite]

So if a mod was made without a lua file (e.g. throwing its pak in modscripts in AMUSS and decompiling yields no lua file) does that make it effectively impossible to create a compatibility patch?

I'm trying to get Eucli-EA to play nice with Snappy Industry (no lua) and gbase's item pak (eucli conflicts with both, but the latter 2 don't conflict with each other) and it does seem to be properly handling Eucli/gbase conflicts but Snappy seems to be getting ignored.

(For reference I used the lua file from Eucli and the other's pak file in modscripts to create the patch, renamed it as per Eucli's instructions with tildas, and left all original paks in the mods folder)

[heavy oar]

i guess solution 2 and 3 seems good @vale iron

[merry wasp]

!moddinglink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/22ZAU9H

[merry wasp]

visit the #mod-help there

[hearty wasp]

gbase has lua

[untold kite]

gbase yes (well, have to run AMUSS with just the gbase pak to get the latest one)

Snappy Industry does not and that's the one whose functionality is lost.

[heavy oar]

soo

its possible to hide the galactic map ui ?

if someone can make that?

[merry wasp]

not me i cant be arsed with UI elements

XD

[heavy oar]

i asked on the modding discord and got a respond but the mod wont come for a few years lol

[hearty wasp]

you don't need to make it "compatible"

[untold kite]

It conflicts with Eucli

[hearty wasp]

just add tildes to the snappy filename

[hearty wasp]

all it uses can override Eucli-ea files safely

so it basically doesn't

[heavy oar]

i think it must be not that hard to hide the ui

[hearty wasp]

it is

[heavy oar]

like i wonder why hg havent done it

like u did it before atlas rises

[hearty wasp]

for us at least

[heavy oar]

it was possible before

[hearty wasp]

I think "only one person could do it" would be an indication to its difficulty

but more likely prolly no one wants to do it

[heavy oar]

yeah but like

its the only thing that keeps me having a pathfinder or pre atlas rises version of the game

if hg or even a modder knew how to hide it

[untold kite]

So is the issue more that AMUSS doesn't know how to merge Snappy and Eucli due to Snappy not having lua to be merged, and so it's defaulting back to overwriting those particular files based on load order?

[heavy oar]

i would never use a old nms version again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1bidkG-dTY&t i miss that

[hearty wasp]

it's more down to Eucli-ea doesn't rely on the lua to make scene changes because scene edits are more intricate

and one scene just happen to overlap

[untold kite]

well, more like 14 scenes >.>

[hearty wasp]

I guess you'll just have to keep missing it 😩

[hearty wasp]

no, one

[heavy oar]

i dont miss it

i do yes

[hearty wasp]

I think I'd know what I edited, tbh

[heavy oar]

in the current version

but it was possible until pathfinder

because it had the original galactic map ui

now the galactic map ui is hidebale yes

but not entirely because u see stars selected soo it kinda kills it

[night adder]

Always feels nice to see confirmation I'm right - much obliged. :D

[drifting sable]

Do you guys have some sort of a performance mod that increase the fps and performance of the game?

Getting a lot of fps drops lately

[mental marsh]

I literally forgot.. wasn't there a way to attach scanner on living ship via editor? I recall it was either change the scanners type to bioship related one or change living ship's code to get the game mistaken it as a mechanical one yet still retain appearance of living ships.

but can't figure it out, lol. been like 8 months or more since touched edit stuff.

[night adder]

If you're not referring to the god-tier glitch, you can save edit a Living Ship, change the reference pointer to the mbin for a mechanical ship, achieving the same thing - the ship will have LS internals but appear mechanical, allowing you to install scanners and other mech tech. However, the game validates the ship every session and will wipe the mech tech off each time.

[mental marsh]

Yeah, that would be it which I saw back then. Having a mechanical techs as internals, yet keeping LS appearance.

hearing of that, seems like it is patched.. rip.

[night adder]

It isnt

[mental marsh]

but tbh doesn't matter if I cannot use LS's module any further.

[night adder]

Thats the reverse godtier

[mental marsh]

Is there way to make LS's internal mechanical then?

I'm sure I saw it on somewhere around..

can't remember it how

I do heard about a god-tier glitch, but it isn't about that.

Some people managed to do the same on editor

[night adder]

No, there's a way to build a mechanical ship then skin it with Living - the reverse of what I explained earlier, change the reference from mech ship mbin to bioship.

[mental marsh]

I see..

gotta give a shot then

Thanks, will try to see if it was the thing I was looking for.

[vale iron]

I have a mod that enables regular tech on living ships @mental marsh

[mental marsh]

whistles that sounds easier than all this, but I was trying to see if there are any way to keep it permanent without downloading a mod every single time when game updates.

[mental marsh]

btw really love your gMech mod 😄

[vale iron]

Glad to hear it 🙂

[mental marsh]

somehow retained, so if what I heard is correct, they are gone once session is reloaded?

oh.

lol.

checked.. opposite do not wipe out your mechanical internals.

even with warp+ reload+ despawning ship and respawning, it's still there

@night adderThanks.

andd only way to upgrade it is via editor now.. lmao

[night adder]

That's because its literally opposite - if you had installed any living tech, that gets wiped on reload. 😉

[mental marsh]

Yeah haha.. somehow living tech is worse than mechanical due of lacking scanners, doesn't really big matter. Thanks a lot anyway!

[night adder]

YW!

[merry wasp]

makes it able to upgrade the slots too because of that right?

still trying to figure to keep them as Alien and still be upgradable

[vale iron]

No, it just changes the valid type of ship for the tech items, so they can be installed and don't get deleted from living ships. It doesn't do anything to the slots.

[merry wasp]

hmm i thought you chaned the shiptype 😄

[vale iron]

Might be able to adjust the ship modifier entity to affect living ship types as well? I haven't looked into it

[merry wasp]

i tried it

made LS into royal => slots upgradeable and normal tech

but cant accept LS tech anymore

[vale iron]

I'll see if I can find the ship modification terminal

[merry wasp]

lemme know 😄

its something i've been trying for quite a while

[vale iron]

Nothing stands out to me in the entity file

Except maybe the ability to tie an emote to the salvage action, which might be fun

Anyone have a mod to fix the VR hands the last patch broke?

[vale iron]

I haven't heard of one. Unfortunately, most of us don't have VR, so it's hard to make specific mods

[mossy perch]

Have you tried turning off the real-protection or stuff like that

It might do the trick

Anyway, I've got a question regarding modding NMS.

What am I supposed to with "TEXTURES" folder directory?

[vale iron]

Put it in the modextrafilestoinclude folder.

Or just use the PAK

[torpid dune]

Yeah that’s what I did.

It kinda works now.

Because the cutscene is skipped.

But not the removal of the tutorial quest.

Which is why I got the mod.

What is “save editing?”

[quiet yacht]

Hey I'm trying to save edit to delete 2 of 4 multi tools I have. When I load up my save I only have 1 and it has no slots or tech. What am I doing wrong? In the save editor it's tool "0" and "1" and I'm wanting to keep 3&4

[hoary sigil]

@quiet yacht This might be of help.

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879

[quiet yacht]

I have a backup that loads in fine. I'm just trying to get this to work

[hoary sigil]

I think you could use that tool to remove the unwanted multitools.

[quiet yacht]

Ok I'll try that one

Nah I'll pass on that. Gotta make an account to download it

[hoary sigil]

nexus mods is perfectly safe, but I'll see if I can find an alternative source.

@quiet yachthttp://www.drkaii.com/NMSC/publish.html

That's the dev's own site.

[vale iron]

You don't need an account to download from Nexus mods

The design just makes it look like you do

[zinc snow]

Nice theory

[vale iron]

Free = 2mb/s download speed

Though that's a lie, it's a lot slower than that

Oh sorry

I was thinking of getting paid service

You're right

[hearty wasp]

eh, let em just not get the tools the need

[zinc snow]

Making an account is free anyways, so idk why he's so bothered about doing it.

[hearty wasp]

could be bothered by spam emails and shit

not that I don't have an alt email for disposable accounts

[zinc snow]

Isn't that what the Spam folder is for?

[vale iron]

I don't like having to do it, but I usually cave

[merry wasp]

Also nexusmods barely sends mails or none at all

[slate veldt]

Hey @vale iron, any chance you could confirm something for me?
I'm having issues with 4x5 inventories not displaying correctly, instead displaying 5x4 but shifting all the slots.
It's happening to all my saves, so I'm trying to see if anyone is having this issue and if it can be remedied with a mod or something.
Easiest way to check is by looking at storage containers in the Freighter inventory screen (only 16 slots will be visible)

[slate veldt]

pic for clarity because this is also messing with my ship's adjacency bonuses lining up.

oh wait thought it was an issue you had with a mod, I retract my statement

[proven dock]

So.. I don't really like mods that specifically cheat or go absolutely ballistic with changes, but I'm wanting one that reworks or raises exocraft speed / usability- is there an up-to-date or recommended one people use?

[hearty wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1941

[proven dock]

Thank you!

[hearty wasp]

searching "exocraft" would prolly work too

[proven dock]

Ya I tried that and kept getting no results

...and now its working

Ok nexus

[hearty wasp]

you install manually?

[proven dock]

Ya normally

[hearty wasp]

if other mods work then it's prolly just another mod overriding it

[proven dock]

It looks like its working fine actually- I meant nexus produced no results when I searched "exocraft"

Until I loaded it here on another browser

[hearty wasp]

nexus can be spotty from time to time

[merry wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1939

[proven dock]

Ooo I like this one a lot more- the one I put in basically just made boost unlimited and stupid fast

[merry wasp]

thx 🙂 it's mine

anyhow test it out

if the values are to much you can edit them in the lua and recompile it

[proven dock]

The "falloff =1" for fuel consumption means it consumes at vanilla rate right?

[merry wasp]

values should be rather explanatory 😉

think its speed falloff

[proven dock]

They look pretty sensible / tame to me so I think they'll work just fine 😄

[merry wasp]

like how fast it loses speed

but been a while since i look at that code 😛

[proven dock]

Oh ya it's speed

I just can't read

[proven dock]

Thank you for including the lua! They look good for me but I might adjust out some of the mech stats.. I kina like its super slow, deliberate, heavy feel

[merry wasp]

it still does

just that the... well boost is more fun now

:L

[proven dock]

ahhh

Well I'll absolutely give them all a try as is

[merry wasp]

now you can yeet yourself quite a distance

telling ya

thats fun

it finally feels like a genuine boost

[merry wasp]

don't forget to endorse if you like the mod 🙂

also if you have any issues or recommends plz tell

@snow ember @zealous flicker https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1064

heres a mod that contains some star wars ship models

pretty nice, i kinda wanna dip into modding but idk how to start lookin for bangers

[tidal portal]

dunno how many but it does

[snow ember]

.w. like ngl i want custom freighter models and some polishing for ships, maybe some more models

[vale iron]

Just search gShip for custom freighters @snow ember

[snow ember]

i got the mod now,

jus a bit anxious since idk what to expect since i never modded this game,

[strange crypt]

Does anyone know of any mods that attempt to overhaul parts of the game or generally attempt to add more variety?

[ashen mango]

I'm using NMS Save Editor by Goat Fungus -- a few questions:

1 - is there a way to view the stats provided by technology upgrades? It looks like that info. isn't visible b/c it just has a number for the mod when you delve it (like S-Class upgrade - 85765 or some value like that)

2 - I can view other peoples' settlements. If I modify the stats on those settlements, how does that work with what is out there in the world? In my game, I could take the population of someone else's settlement from like 50 to 100 -- but in their save file i guess it would stay 50, so I would see it as 100 but them as 50 if they visited the settlement?

[vale iron]

@ashen mango
1 - https://github.com/zencq/Pi
2 - You're getting that data either from a server or from the owner's save file. I'm guessing that data would overwrite yours or it would only affect you. It's extremely unlikely your change would flow back and affect anyone else.

[strange crypt]

I can understand your hesitation, If you are truly nervous at first you could try smaller mods that have a more immediate and noticeable effect that way you can rest easy being able to see that the mods are working. One mod that might fit this would be mods that only change the color of space / planetary sky colors. I know there is a more updated mod somewhere that would change the color of space so that instead of being so bright and colorful its instead black in color

I am currently looking into creating mods for the game because I truly do enjoy no mans sky but there are quite a lot of rough edges I feel could be expanded

[tropic hound]

Ok so I have what might be a dumb question, I’m looking for ship seeds, I know about the nmsseed club page but for some reason I can’t search seeds, is that due to the site owner not Managing it anymore? And the other website that comes up won’t even load, so is there a specific thread or page I could see to get the seeds? After digging I found a old thread for fighters, but what about the other ships? Exotic,hauler,explorer,living? Is there such a database or is every seed a surprise? I’d like to see what I’m getting. Any advise would be amazing? Or links. Thanks in advance!

[mortal night]

Is there a new mpfreighter mod?

[vale iron]

!creativehublink

[hardy aurora]

https://discord.gg/AEXcap6

[vale iron]

No, HG disabled it.

[mortal night]

Like, they specifically disabled that mod?

[tropic hound]

Awesome thank you!

[mortal night]

Why?

[vale iron]

They specifically disabled the switch that allowed it (it was a super simple mod). Why, no idea. I assume it was causing problems.

[mortal night]

Do you think there's a workaround that will roll out soon?

[hearty wasp]

no

[unborn island]

Are there mods to update planet generation? Like having mutlple biomes on one planet

[hearty wasp]

no

not possible via normal means

rayrod's been developing direct memory changes tho

another 2 or 3 or 6 years and you'll get to play with it

actually he's been releasing his API so I guess you can try having a crack at that yourself

[hoary sigil]

I wonder how difficult it would be to make a pokemon battling like mod using pets. 🤔

[hearty wasp]

as difficult as it is to make a pokemon romhack

i.e. better just to make your own game

[azure river]

Hey Guys, is anyone here who is knowledgeable about the underlying code of the games controls? I'm a leftie trying to rebind the P-Key to somewhere else, so I don't open the Pause-Menu every time I try to walk forward

[fluid nexus]

Is it possible to add missions to the game - which are completed on item collection for instance?

[vale iron]

I've heard this issue from others before but never seen a solution, unfortunately

[vale iron]

It's possible, but not super simple

[fluid nexus]

Hm, interesting. Anyone done it before?

[azure river]

It's sad really, I'm currently trying to get a hold of anyone who has any idea how to get at it from the backend so I might eventually be able to write a Guide for everyone who is in the same boat as me.

Do you have any idea what's the best way to make a "call to arms" of sorts for modders who would be willing to help me?

I know my way around coding. Usually I code in Python, but reading and changing XML-Files or the likes is not beyond me. I just don't know where to get started

[vale iron]

Unfortunately, there's not a much better approach them just asking here. I just don't know of a good way of doing what you want

There's the modding discord, but you wouldn't get much more response there

[azure river]

Yeah guessed as much 😩 Guess I'll just have to periodically ask here and hope someone turns up who's able to help me

[hearty wasp]

Hello there. We're looking for inputs on an expanded base building colour palette options. Feel free to ping me here and giving us sets of 2 (two, primary and secondary) colours, preferably in hex colour codes

here's a proof-of-concept showing a few new rudimentary colours

[stray drum]

is there a save name mod?

I just want to know which save is which but I can never tell exactly

[unborn island]

Ahoy

Woops wrong chat

[heavy oar]

its not gonna be released before a long time

[hearty wasp]

can't

[stray drum]

damn it, the first thing I'd mod this game for and it's still not possible

all these updates are nice but I'm still looking for the update that I can name my saves 😭

[hearty wasp]

yeah, it's irritating

especially when I make copies

[stray drum]

exactly

this is going to sound stupid but part of the reason why I left is I let siblings play their own saves on the same account but it was a hassle figuring out which saves were which so I just stopped playing all together

[grand loom]

anyone know which mbin file i need to edit to increase ships generation? likes the busier space one but i want to edit only a few things

[proven dock]

Will do! I had to turn down the nautilon because it was hitting 99ish u/s with full engine upgrades but the others are perfect!

It was pretty funny to breach and go flying through the air though

Then I beached myself too far up shore and fell through the planet

[quiet yacht]

Hey I downloaded a mod from Nexus mods. It's to make royal ships wings go flat when in flight. Where do I put the file or how do I install mods?

Is the pin correct? Just drop it in PC bank?

Well let's see what this does.😱

Ok sweet it works, thanks guys lol

[hearty wasp]

this is like that meme where willem dafoe sits in front of a painting of himself

[torpid dune]

There’s a multiple profiles mod I think.

[rapid sandal]

Maybe this mbin, adjust the various spawn lists.

[grand loom]

wow thats so cool, what software is that?

[rapid sandal]

NMSMB - NMS Mod Builder:
https://github.com/cmkushnir/NMSModBuilder doc's and latest versions
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2032 nexus
Also, if you have busier space mod installed you can use NMSMB to view what mbin's it changed.

[grand loom]

nice, thank you, i was using mod station and I was editing mbin with note pad hahahah

i'll give it a try

[rapid sandal]

If you know some of the basic c# syntax, or just study the supplied scripts, you can use NMSMB to do script based changes to mbin's and create new mod pak files.
If you know lua you can use AMUMSS to do similar.

[rapid sandal]

The dedicated link for the app is at: https://discord.com/channels/215514623384748034/891984842869313536

[grand loom]

i see, thank you!

[sour pewter]

Have asked about this in #nms-questions but couldn't find answers. Hoping the folks who play legacy NMS can help: I've set up a Next install on PC that's broken somehow. When starting a new save in any mode, no textures load. I can see the HUD, access all menus, see build icons etc but all I see around me is the sky (with some awful color banding to boot). It's a fresh install (meaning no mods, shader cache and settings files have been wiped). I do get a shader error dump each time I load or create a save in any mode but it's not of much use to me. Any ideas on how to fix this?

note: Atlas Rises (manifest ID: 8262658978126728861) and Beyond (manifest ID: 6896425777644603761) work normally. Only Next (manifest ID: 4290382675093577172) and Visions (manifest ID: 6471841705658871471) have this issue.

specs:
CPU- Ryzen r5 2600x
GPU- RX 580 8GB

[steel crypt]

Can you run current NMS fine?
If so, you might be dealing with bugs on those versions relating to GPU drivers. I can remember some people on certain cards having to use specific drivers for some versions.

[sour pewter]

Current NMS runs great, no issues

[steel crypt]

Okay, so your current GPU/driver setup works with Vulkan. Next and visions are both post Vulkan right?

[swift temple]

A similar case happened to a friend when he tested a pirate version to see if he could run it properly. He told me he's buying it anyway and hoping he doesn't refund it due to a similar bug, so this brings me hope that the current version will run properly in his side.

[sour pewter]

I think pre-Vulkan. IIRC, the Vulkan update happened in April 2019.

[worn owl]

is there a hanger battle, and proper freighter battle mod

[swift temple]

Also, mod wise, am I the only to mod the font just to get something more sci-fi appropiate? I personally think Roboto looks a bit too... default.

[sour pewter]

What's most funny about it is AR works perfectly. All of the files are from Steam too.

Only other thing I can see in Visions/Next is a transparent ship HUD. Nothing else is visible.

[steel crypt]

I don't know, if it's Open-GL then it could easily be related to specific drivers.
Your GPU is AMD correct?

[sour pewter]

Yep

[steel crypt]

There were a lot of driver issues during the OPEN-GL era. Open-GL has a long history of being super picky.

95% or so of the issues with drivers and Open-GL with NMS at that time were AMD issues.

During that phase, there were people including me that figured out specific drivers for NMS versions for AMD. I can't remember any of it though lol.

I don't know if that's your issue, just makes me wonder.

There is also a possibility that...did you delete/refresh any shader cache?

Your card might have it's own cache and NMS had a dedicated cache too.

[sour pewter]

I've deleted the shader cache a few times. Seems like this might be a no go. 😦

[waxen cedar]

can we add these modules on our mech even?

just wondering

[sour pewter]

Behold

[steel crypt]

wow

That very much looks like a shader issue to me. either missing shaders (doubtful) or a driver not processing sketchy/edgy shader coding by HG. Which def fits the driver issues at the time. If you really wanted to get it going, you might try searching on reddit or here for specific AMD driver versions that correspond to specific NMS versions that were known to work.

[sour pewter]

Yeah, might try one more thing before biting the bullet and looking for an older driver. I do get an error log during gameplay but the information isn't intelligible to me.

[steel crypt]

can you post here?

[sour pewter]

Compilation error at the bottom

[steel crypt]

afk brb

[sour pewter]

np

[steel crypt]

one sec

I'm not super good with shaders, but what this tells me is that as Open-GL tried to compile the shader code using the Open-GL code that was "designed" specific to your GPU, there was an error. There is a very high chance it's caused by an Open-GL compatibility issue.

Sorry that took a sec was dealing with kiddo.

[sour pewter]

You're good

I had a feeling it might be something like it, but I know very little about game design 😦

[steel crypt]

All the code above is just the main compilation code for Open-GL to use to compile the shaders.

You'll see in the code:
If sys is Xbox - then compile like this
If sys is Open-GL then compile like this
etc.

[sour pewter]

So may be best to look into downgrading my driver then?

[steel crypt]

That's what I would do. Pretty sure you're looking for a specific Open-GL version in a driver that will be compatible with the HG shader code.
The problem is, it's not going to be easy to just try some because well...there are a lot. The only thing I can think of is either trying some from slightly before the date of the NMS release because it was always the case that the current AMD driver had an issue but reverting 2 or 3 versions before did the trick, or looking here or reddit for info. I don't know anyone that kept that data for any reason.

Or possibly even trying to ask some legacy players with AMD?

[sour pewter]

I'll try those suggestions. Trying one more thing before I give up for now though. Thanks for your help!

[sour pewter]

Also, I think I'm using one of your mods in current NMS (Terra Firma) - It's excellent!

[sour pewter]

Aha. Found a post about issues around 2019 where someone suggested that Radeon sw 18.12.1.1 was stable. Did a clean install of it and sure enough, it works!

[steel crypt]

Bazinga! Cool, I'm glad you solved it.
Yes, Terra Firma is mine. Glad you like it. 🙂

[mystic vortex]

anyone know what changed with the latest save editor update?

[verbal monolith]

@slate veldt Right so continuing from help chat

I've got it open now

[slate veldt]

Do you know how to locate your save file location?

[verbal monolith]

Is it this thing?

[slate veldt]

👍

Once the path is set, you should see your perma save in the drop down options.

[verbal monolith]

Yeah I've got it selected and now I have these options

[slate veldt]

Only select the game slot

Let it autoselect the specific file

[verbal monolith]

Aight whats next

[slate veldt]

Once selected, go to the top of the window and click through the menus

One of them will have an option called Coordinate Viewer

I forget which

[verbal monolith]

yeah got it

Should my game be closed during this by the way?

[slate veldt]

You should have the ability to change your current coordinates

Yes

Absolutely

Sorry if that wasnt clear

[verbal monolith]

All good

So do I just copy my sigils?

[slate veldt]

I assumed you had reloaded and was still stuck

Yep

But

For the first one

That should ensure you end up in your ship and not randomly inside a planet

[verbal monolith]

So all the same but change the first one to that, is that right?

[slate veldt]

Yes

[verbal monolith]

👍

[slate veldt]

Once you hit save changes, you can close the editor

Load up the game and save file, be prepared to alt f4 in case it drops you in space or something

[verbal monolith]

Lmao so I tried clicking the icons and nothing happens

[slate veldt]

Oh, right

Has to be hex

Can you post the glyphs here?

[verbal monolith]

Mine?

[slate veldt]

Or just go to portal decoder website and get the number

[verbal monolith]

That's the in game one

[slate veldt]

004AF8BF4A96

I think

!coords 004AF8BF4A96

[hardy aurora]

@slate veldt

0295:0077:03F3:004A // planet 0

004AF8BF4A96
Distance from center: 692168 ly

[slate veldt]

Yep

[verbal monolith]

looks about righ

So I just hit save yah

[slate veldt]

Yes

[verbal monolith]

And save again?

[slate veldt]

Yea

It should load you in your ship in space in the system

If for some reason you arent in your ship, alt-f4, and we'll change the in ship status manually

[verbal monolith]

Yep im in my ship in space!

[slate veldt]

Nice, go save

[verbal monolith]

Thanks a lot for the help haha

[slate veldt]

Or i guess you did haha

Yep no problem

[merry wasp]

Good to know, ishould do some full upgraded tests. But at least now exo's are useable even barebones :)

[quiet yacht]

So I'm using a royal ship wing mod to keep the wings flat in flight. When I warp they fold up to landing position untill I land again. Is that just how it is or are there better mods avaialble

[rare thistle]

Hello modders

I was wondering if using mods would break the save or stop multiplayer

is it ok to use mods?

I am a heavy mod user but this game is a very long one and a save loss would be horrible

[hearty wasp]

save-wise, no

[rare thistle]

as in mods wont ever break the save?

[rare thistle]

I got lost

[hearty wasp]

#nms-modding message

[rare thistle]

if I use any mods, outdated or otherwise and they wont work, or stop working after an update will that break the save?

saves are client side and can be backed up?

just want to bump the capped slots to max 48 like the olden days

what is the easiest way to do that

[merry wasp]

No

[merry wasp]

Of what?

[hearty wasp]

^

backpack 48 slot can just be done with just the save editor iirc

and NMSSE backs up your save automatically upon editing too

not sure bout NomNom but you can read the mod's page if you're inclined

[merry wasp]

Backpack is 48 slots anyway unless tech

[rare thistle]

suit, ship, tool, whatever is capped

tech slots mostly

yeah the tech slots I mean

both the pack and the ship and freighter maybe if it is capped

[merry wasp]

Its not hard to make as a mod tbh

[rare thistle]

what do you mean?

[merry wasp]

To change all of the tech slots to be available

[rare thistle]

Would you please tech me how to do it?

[merry wasp]

Think most mods cover either backpack or ships

Meh

Gimme half an hour and ill prob have it

[rare thistle]

I read the info of some of these mods on the Nexus and they all say delete this file or that file

which made me to pause and do a bit of research

[merry wasp]

Thats true

Its the modsdisabled.txt file

[rare thistle]

I dont want to lose my save or get flagged a cheater, just want more slots

not a pvp game so whats the point

[merry wasp]

Noone cares if you cheat

[rare thistle]

I was talking about the devs

[merry wasp]

Like i said

Noone

[rare thistle]

alright then

[merry wasp]

Nms in essence is a SP game

[rare thistle]

I hate them to capping the slots in the first place

my game my rules

[hearty wasp]

won't somebody think of the purists?

[merry wasp]

To late

[hearty wasp]

[merry wasp]

There are 100's of 9999988x stack mods

[rare thistle]

slot expansion has nothing to do with the purisim

it is a stupid mandate by the devs and I reject their stupid thinking

oh lets cap the slots and piss ppl off

for no reason

[rare thistle]

most are very old

and none functional,check at least 10 of em

users report broken or not working

[merry wasp]

well they change diff files

my mod doesnt break that easly :d

also i keep it up yo date

[rare thistle]

I cant wait for your mod tbh

kinda like a little kid waiting for a popsicle

:"D

[merry wasp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1925

kinda cover stack increases

but will make a 48 slots mods

just gimme a sec

[rare thistle]

does this also wipes the items from the extra slots that you get? I know it is obvious, just double checking

[hearty wasp]

there're a few updated, albeit does more than you want

[merry wasp]

no unlocked inv slots dont go away

[hearty wasp]

that's about the item stacking

not slots

[rare thistle]

yeah some add stuff and make game pointless like max 999999999 whaever

[rare thistle]

OH THAT WOULD SO COOL

[merry wasp]

no its a fact

if you have 48 unlocked slots even if mod breacks it stays 48

[rare thistle]

EXCELETE

it used to 48 and even now you can see the 48 slots there

[merry wasp]

need those 48 slots for survival too?

[rare thistle]

oh sure

they are different for each game mode?

as in non universal

[merry wasp]

there's 2 diff file

as you can see

😉

[rare thistle]

roger that

[merry wasp]

but ships slots is in a completly other file

so yeah XD

pain

[rare thistle]

oh come on

and the freighter?

tech slots

[merry wasp]

same file as ships

[rare thistle]

so one file for suit, one for omni, and one for ships

3 at the same time works together well I assume?

[merry wasp]

not sure about omni tools never tinkered with those

[rare thistle]

out of all capped tech's I would say tool makes the most sense to avoid ppl from entering godmode or something

not saying I approve

[merry wasp]

you can literally turn of pvp

[rare thistle]

I never played this game for pvp

dont want it dont need it

[merry wasp]

me neither so frankly dont care

well turn it off then :p

[rare thistle]

they should have put the time they wasted on pvp on a new dlc or something

it is already off

day 1

they would be lucky if I even go online lol

Single player procedural game

period

that is not saying I am against multiplayer or pvp in the game

its there its fine

whatever

[merry wasp]

well it can be fun with friends

[rare thistle]

true

[merry wasp]

so i leave Mp on at least

[rare thistle]

I have been playing with that on for 50 hrs and have not seen a single soul soooo lol

travelled 2Mil LY already

[hearty wasp]

it's not common unless you're in more densely populated areas

[rare thistle]

I rarely see ppl except expeditions

like at a rate of 0.001%

[merry wasp]

alright

MT cover same file as ships

so thats good

[rare thistle]

what should I edit? or is it a file?

[merry wasp]

just gimme a sec

im making a lua script

[rare thistle]

copy that

[merry wasp]

alrighty

should be working

[rare thistle]

okay

[merry wasp]

that should you be able to expand invetory to 48 slots

mods that change the same files have to be merged

just an fyi

[rare thistle]

I just drag and drop them in the game folder and load my save?

[merry wasp]

dont forget to delete or rename the file disablemods.txt

drop .pak in MODS folder

[rare thistle]

should I delete this too?

it was there already

ok I put both the .pak and .lua in the mods folder

and renamed the disable

can I back up my save?

just in case

or they store them server side

also, do I need to add this one as well?

[merry wasp]

you can backup your safe if you wish

[rare thistle]

Thank you, you are a true Legend

[merry wasp]

i dont really have an exported folder in there

shouldnt affect

oh

that the worng mods

folder

XD

[rare thistle]

inside the that exported

[rare thistle]

there is Metadata

ooh

[merry wasp]

its on there

if no MODS folder yet

make one

you only need the pak

but the lua is for updating with AMUMMS

[rare thistle]

whats amumms?

looks good?

[merry wasp]

yeah

if you run the game you should get a mod warning screen

[rare thistle]

ugh so they check -_-

[merry wasp]

but it always does that

but shouldnt crash

[merry wasp]

does it work?

[rare thistle]

loading

the warning.. will they cut me off online stuff? leaderboards,events etc,

the fact hat they are detecting the mods is a fine point that they do care about it

[weak arch]

Are there even leaderboards and such like that?

AFAIK, they don't care unless you're greifing.

Quite a few people that I know mod, and are fine.

[rare thistle]

🙏🏻

It is working like a charm

thank you very much for this 💖

I had one tech upgrade, have to check my capital to see if I have any there

it worked for star ship as well but cant test it on freighter cuz i dont have the salvage data yet

@merry wasp

You would know this that is bugging the hell outta me
When you alt tab a tiny blue bar appears at the center bottom of the screen with another tiny slider inside that bar going left and right (like a loading animation) which I think is AFK counter or a game pause

To get better ships and stuff there is a 3 hours warm up period (so I hear)

when that appears (when you alt tab) does the 3 hours counter still goes on or you have to be focused on the game screen for 3 hours without alt tabbing?

[merry wasp]

that blue slider is when alt-tabbing

[merry wasp]

yeah

[rare thistle]

so it stops the timer?

can we bypass it?

[merry wasp]

it just "pauzes' your game

doesnt affect timers

i think

[rare thistle]

hmm

wonder if we can get rid of it

[merry wasp]

frankly i dont other

[rare thistle]

there should be an option (pause game on focus loss) but they did not add it for us to play with it

they have it in most recent games

mute game on focus loss

[rare thistle]

again, thanks a ton. You lifted a heavy rock from my game

[merry wasp]

my pleasure

[rare thistle]

Without modders I would have not been the hardcore gamer I am today

[merry wasp]

might upload it to the nexus

[rare thistle]

You are god. I come hey guys, is there way to increase size? and you are like gimme a sec, there go have fun

@shy grove check that out, it will make you laugh a bit

lol

🤣

[merry wasp]

awwww but it's my modder theme song :3

[rare thistle]

sorry I couldnt resist not to post it here to be on topic

xD

oooh level up

🎉

tho I should have gotten that 3 years ago. I still dont know why I wasnt here hmm

like srsly

@shy grove we share more mutual servers than most people have friends xD

hahaha

when I saw it I kinda told myself is that me in another multiverse? oooh

lol

[rare thistle]

my lil sister confirmed it is working on freighters as well. I need to double check that. she likes to mess with me but since it is working on both suit and the starship I see no reason not to work on freighter

anyway we can remove the cap from the fleet number?

you can have like 30 of em I think

[merry wasp]

nope

[rare thistle]

or the limit from how many ships you have or omnitools

[rare thistle]

hardcoded?

[merry wasp]

kinda

[rare thistle]

ugh

[merry wasp]

baked into the exe/api

[rare thistle]

not fair

[merry wasp]

so we cant do anything about it (yet)

[rare thistle]

I would love to have like 100 ships (but the freighter holds the default)

love to collect them

keep exchanging em left and right

[rare thistle]

is it cuz it has no numbers visible?

there is no amount

no integer

[merry wasp]

there is a modder working on his custom tool

[rare thistle]

oh what a glorious day it would be when the cap from them ships and tools are removed

[merry wasp]

have multiple saves

[quiet yacht]

Hey, any way to convert my expedition save now instead of in a month?

[merry wasp]

nope

[quiet yacht]

Bummer

[merry wasp]

or with save editor

not sure

might be able to change the gamemode to normal with editing save @quiet yacht

[quiet yacht]

What's a good current save editor? The one I had didn't work

[merry wasp]

see pins

its in there

[quiet yacht]

Yeah I think this is the one that I used delete 2 of 4 multi tools and it deleted them all and gave me a bugged one...

But I see it lets me into the json files... Oh yeah

Looks like it worked

Thanks

[rare thistle]

@merry wasp can we increase these ones too?

[merry wasp]

not sure

haven't checked

[rare thistle]

this is the main storage

the actual storage

[merry wasp]

i know

[rare thistle]

others are like temp storages

I keep most of my stuff in 4 other ships I have cuz of space shortage

[quiet yacht]

Ok scratch that. I changed it to a normal save file but expedition is still going

[rare thistle]

there are slots as you can see to increase them

I thought upgrades did that but I am not sure if you can open up those slots the normal way

main cargo + tech is maxed out but those (Storage Containers) dont have any upgrades, as far as I know but certainly looks they can be opened up

[rare thistle]

they told me you cant unlock those normally :( do you have the word "cant" in ur dictionary?

[merry wasp]

idk, haven't looked and right will not either

[rare thistle]

I got it ur busy

[merry wasp]

for the toilet guys try this?https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1890

[rare thistle]

lol

[merry wasp]

nah tired

[lime mesa]

I made a mod of scissors being added

[hearty wasp]

what

[zealous hill]

How can i prevent NMS from "Pausing" while tabbing out?
It pauses everytime im alttabbing out. no mather if fullscreen, windowed or borderless window

[hearty wasp]

can't

the old autohotkey don't work anymore

godspeed

[hoary sigil]

I think you can do something with cheat engine to make it not pause on lost focus until you quit the game.

[quiet yacht]

So is there an up to date save editor? The one suggested in pins is outdated and doesn't seem to work

[vale iron]

Goatfungus is almost always up to date. It was updated again just this week. NomNom I'm not sure on current status.

[quiet yacht]

Yeah I had an older version. I just started 2 weeks ago and there's been updates on everything so far....

Working now

[neat hedge]

So i'm about to download the xbox pc mods enabler, can someone tell me how to it properly? I don't want to mess up here as it's one of my first times downloading mods

you tryna mod on xbox or pc

[neat hedge]

Pc version of an xbox game

you mean gamepass?

[neat hedge]

Pretty much

Found a mod for that

[hearty wasp]

if that's the case there really ain't a chance you can mess up

afaik you click the program and the program does the stuff for you

[neat hedge]

Sure?

[hearty wasp]

there ain't instructions on the page?

[neat hedge]

Yeah, but barely understandable for me

[hearty wasp]

worst case you'd just need to yeet and redownload the game

just go for it dude

[neat hedge]

Yeah but
I heard it works differently to other mods

That's why i needed some more instructions

[hearty wasp]

yeah because it's a tool that lets you put your mods in the place they're supposed to go

just do it

else you ain't ever modding NMS

unless you buy it on Steam/GoG

[neat hedge]

Ok i'll try

[hearty wasp]

what about Sean

[little pasture]

no god

[merry wasp]

idk

just asking :d

hi @steel crypt

[steel crypt]

First of all, if you are even interested in using mods, there are a few good ones....anyway, how hard is it for you to put a pad definitely less than 45 deg but definitely not flat? Say somewhere between 20 deg and 40 or something. Is that an easy thing for you to test?

[cloud perch]

definitely not too difficult, im doing the universal adjacency glitch to do all this which means that i just have to scale a diff item like that

[steel crypt]

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to test something. Trying to see if I'm even looking at the right thing to mod.

Okay maybe if you can try that and see if you land, I'll make a test mod in the meantime.

[cloud perch]

kk

[cloud perch]

wait, which axis would you like the 30 or so degrees on?

[steel crypt]

one sec

I don't know lol

Not sure it matters

[cloud perch]

alright, ill try up and down then

[steel crypt]

I mean all 4 sides of the model can be attachment points. I would say as it normally is in front of you in "placing/building" mode i would tilt the far side higher...does that make sense?

[cloud perch]

ye

alr that means i did the wrong thing but ill try this anyways

[steel crypt]

yeah I don't even think the direction will matter

[night adder]

@steel crypt I can tell you right now, Landing Pads will function in literally any orientation provided there's 85u clearance outward from their faces.

[steel crypt]

Ah, okay thanks!

[cloud perch]

ah, that makes sense ^

[steel crypt]

See, there is this:
<Property name="LandingMaxAngle" value="45" /> which I know applies to ground but thought it might apply to pads also. I see it doesn't. So this is just clearance.

[steel crypt]

Do you mean clearance to terrain or do you mean anything like building props?

[night adder]

Imagine the circle on pads is the face of a cylinder 85u in length that must remain collision-free - terrain, flora, minerals, existing structures/tech, and built objects all capable of interfering.

[steel crypt]

Thanks for the info! That helped a lot.

[twilit smelt]

has anyone ever forced base objects into a freighter hangar?

[steel crypt]

Then it's probably not something to mod. There will be problems without clearance. 😉

[cloud perch]

makes sense

[night adder]

@twilit smelt It's been tried, have yet to hear of a success doing so.

[twilit smelt]

i figured there have been problems or i'd have seen pictures.

[night adder]

At best I've seen an SRT embedded in the ceiling so when the other is used it spits you out in the hangar.

[twilit smelt]

ah - SRTs is what i was interested in. I'm pretty comfy getting the part edited to that space, but for me the question is one of cabling. (you know... assuming the game doesn't totally barf.)

[night adder]

@twilit smelt Build a pair of SRTs at a random base and connect them, to compare the SRT positioning to that of the cable - make sure the SRTs are oriented the way you want them in the Freighter, and you should be able to math out the cable endpoints after positioning the SRTs.

[twilit smelt]

yeah. feels gross. was going to at least see if the endpoints themselves were stable and then possibly solicit assistance.

[hearty wasp]

If you want to get heads, you need to get Getting Head https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/853

[quiet yacht]

Do I use all 3?

[hearty wasp]

read the description

the tab, not the one in the files tab

[quiet yacht]

Yeah I see now. Thanks you!

[north kettle]

Hey sorry to bug! Is there any mods that help with giving units too an account?

[ornate drift]

Is there a way to manually edit a mod so it works with the latest update?
There are some texture mods for personal use I'd love to get to work again
as the original author isn't doing it.

Also, is there a texture mod to apply higher resolution to all armors? I'm
fairly sure I had one of those at one point but I can't find it anymore.

[hearty wasp]

texture mods p much never breaks unless the vanilla one is changed in the way it was used

and if the vanilla texture is changed to be used in a different way, you just need to remake it from the ground up

[rapid sandal]

Post the nexus links to the mods.

[rare thistle]

can u change the crew faction of your capital?

[lime mesa]

The save editor can do this in a number of ways. If you're a console player getting the save where you can edit it will be a bit of a chore though

[lime mesa]

Save editor can do that too if you know how. There's two settings for a freighter. One is it's general seed - what it looks like. The other is it's home system seed. That defines the crew.

[gritty radish]

does this mod allow you to ride and tame ploughs?

[lime mesa]

Let's find out

[lime mesa]

Confirmed ability to tame. It says it's too small to ride though

A bit of save editing might sort that out

So far unable to ride. Even with size increase. Size increase did work for my lil ewok buddy though

Took this from not ridable to ridable

Experimentation is ongoing.

[little pasture]

some modder should make a mod that adds a new multitool that looks like an E-11 from star wars

[river mesa]

Are xbox players able to play w you while you mod?

[zinc snow]

Depends on how much the mod changes the game
If it is pretty much Vanilla+, as in things that don't massively overhaul the game or change things completely, then yes Crossplay will still be possible.
However, there are some mods that change things so much that they do disable multiplayer, but you'll know them when you see them because when you head into the nexus there'll never be any players around with it installed.

So mods that allow you to resize objects in build mode and mods that add more color variation for different things will still allow multiplayer, but the mods that change colors will be clientside and other players won't be seeing the same thing you're seeing. They'll still allow multiplayer, though.

There are even mods specifically made for multiplayer, like the ones that allow you to call your freighter even when your friend's is already in the same system.

[vale iron]

That doesn't work anymore FYI

[zinc snow]

Haven't really tried since hands broke

[vale iron]

And there's a pin for details on mods and multiplayer.
#nms-modding message

Yeah, I don't know exactly when, but HG disabled that ability

[little pasture]

oh mah gawd its gumsk

cool ISD mod

[vale iron]

Thanks, glad you like it

[little pasture]

Mod Suggestion: Add an E-11 from Star Wars as a multi-tool

[vale iron]

Unfortunately, I have no clue how to do a custom multitool. I don't know anyone that I can steal the knowledge from like I did for ships and freighters

Mostly Winder and Mjstral to thank for those

[little pasture]

didnt for one of your mods you just replaced a seed for an ISD or a ship and made it something else?

[vale iron]

Yeah, custom ships and custom freighters both work by adding onto the existing pool, Golden Vector and capital freighters, respectively

[little pasture]

epic pfp btw

[vale iron]

Thanks, though getting time for a seasonal change I think

[little pasture]

me too i guess

[night adder]

@vale iron Have you looked into whether the Royal MT mbin can be used the same way? 10 total model variations is a smaller pool than cap. freighters at 12, not counting bridge variations.

[vale iron]

If I knew how to make custom multitools, it could very likely be used the same way. I'm just worried there are a lot of moving parts, like hand/finger placement, support hand placement, where the MT sits on the model, animations, etc. So, I don't think I could just take a custom model off Sketchfab and plop it down in NMS very easily.

[night adder]

I see, my guess about the issue being pool size and/or separate model parts required was off base - pretty sure Royal MTs are single model objects like squid exotics - I only play in 1st person so I didn't even think about animations and such lol.

[vale iron]

Yeah, I honestly haven't looked, but I would guess it's just one entry in the descriptor table and the colors are procgen like the ships, so a little like the Golden Vector, just with color added

Someday I'm going to dig in and find out how procedural colors work and start dyeing all my ships and freighters 🙂

[night adder]

@vale iron You mean like this?

[vale iron]

I mean my Custom Ships and Custom Freighters mods, make those ships procgen colored instead of just one color. Though that does look awesome.

I've got 4.5 new ships to add this weekend. Maybe get one or two more squeezed in there as well

[night adder]

I play on PS4, Mjstral was kind enough to show me what his colorizer mod outputs to json for fighter slot 0, I've been experimenting with doing it manually since - I've got Living Ships mostly figured out now, and am about 2/3 of the way done Alien MTs

[vale iron]

Are you doing PS4 save editing to edit the seeds?

[night adder]

No, there's a json section for CharacterCustomization with 16or18 slots, it's where your outfits, vehicle, and freighter customizations are saved, but if you know the palettes used and which slots to put em in, you can add entries that affect ships and MTs

[vale iron]

Ah, I misread. I understand what you mean now

[night adder]

I'm guessing pets may be possible as well based on the number of slots and the fact every slot has a field for bonescale

[vale iron]

I wrote up a not very good article on how to do ship coloring

[night adder]

Where at? May fill in a blank or two for me 🙂

[vale iron]

But Mjstral's seed generation is a far better method

One sec

It's honestly probably wrong in some parts based on incorrect understanding I had at the time:
https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/NoMansSky:Reference_Guides/TEXTURES/Ship_Coloring

[night adder]

@vale iron So for Living Ships, BodyPrime and UnderbellyAlt1 are what I've been able to use to control armour colours, BodyAlt1 and UnderbellyPrime for skin, and CockpitPrime controls the instruments panel. Haven't nailed down any more than that yet, but am 70% sure MetalPrime is lower cockpit interior

[vale iron]

That's great info. If I had time, I would rewrite that thing to correct it and add more info

[night adder]

What I'm super curious about is Royal Exotics - I havent tested those yet, but I think you were only off slightly. There'd be no way to account for all 5 colours with Rock palette, but Sand has 5 options

[vale iron]

What's strange though is that I pulled those from the files, so they should be accurate. There must be some way to get to 5 colors that we aren't thinking of

I've definitely wondered about that before, though

[night adder]

Well, when I'm done what I'm working on, I think I'll set up a Royal with SandPrime custom set to green - simplest way to see if my guess is right

[steel crypt]

If you ever get into that, I have some experience making planet objects (flora etc.) use proc color. I can show you example files or whatever.

[vale iron]

Another possibility I didn't think of earlier is that the palette selections aren't coming from the scene files I was looking at. If your test is good, I can try digging further

[steel crypt]

I can't (I'm old, give me a break) follow this. Are you trying to figure out what palette royal multitools are using?

[night adder]

Trim is also wonky, the only thing I know about that is silver trim is hard capped at 431.0 base maneuverability - but gold trim can spawn lower so it's not either/or

Such a piss-off for folk like me who think gold looks dumb and gaudy

[vale iron]

Yeah, my ship coloring save editing article has the palette as Rock, which I got from the scene file I think, but DHarhanWulf is thinking it might be Sand because it seems to have more options available than Rock does.

[steel crypt]

For what textures? The trim on royal ships?

[vale iron]

The main color, white, blue, red, etc

[steel crypt]

Okay, my first guess just knowing the palettes a bit is that they are not proc colored from a palette. I would guess they are proc colored by using different pre colored textures. I don't know but that's my guess. I'll look into it a bit.
What colors can it be? I remember red, blue, white, yellow....what else?

[vale iron]

I think that might be it, and specific color names does sound familiar, but I'm not at my computer now to look

I think there's another but can't remember
