EDIT: btw atleast these are mapped on sphere as far as i can tell which made them easy for edit.

why don't you try first to play with the settings in the material.xml? Mybe it is possible to reduce the alpha or intensity of the textures

You mentioned changing settings anyway, is there a way to see the tweaks without restarting the whole game?

nope. at least none that I know. but you can add the files as pck in the corrispondent main root directory and the game will use your file OVER vanila and mods

I found it by accident.Run the game in fullscreen and alt+tab reloads the shaders.They even mention this in patch notes because of some crash or something.This speeds the work big time.

Version 1.4 relased
Nebula and 3 planets in system Devrie improved

System Devrie is very immersive for the idea but there are some really bad design touches that spoil totaly immersion. One is the stars, big spots on the backgrpound, now replaced. Another is the nebula, pixelated due to the huge texture the mesh would require (it would be better to change the mesh completely) and some ugly hand brush on the margin of it, visible in the game. Then planets, are made of the same textures and their look is, well...bad, inferior to X3's. I changed the textures and tried to lower some effects such as reflection of material, unfortunally some things such as the haze are shared by all planets and you can not change differently.

Could you please rezip and reupload the file ? Problem while dezipping it

Do you think it's possible to separate the mod into individual little mods? like for each galaxy or something? .. the 100mb download from nexus is a bit harsh with all their problems they are having.

X Rebirth 1.18 Beta + following MODs
- 5k Scan Range 0.3 (Tyrant597)
- Better Cockpit 0.5 (OlDav54)
- Better Highway alphas 1.0 (Nebogloee)
- Helpful Directions 0.25 (Swallen)
- Manual Command 0.12 (Jack08)

Your MOD is installed and turned on at extensions. I didn't look at planets yet but there are no Start anywhere - for example in DeVries

Hi,
found the problem through the same problem with another MOD (Pimp My Skunk) in renaming the mainfolders name. In my Extensions directory i prefer folders without that annoying "_" and including version and author - in this case like "RS Stars 1.4 (Realspace)". Most MODs i tried out keep working with a renamed Mainfolder.

Without renaming the folder your MOD is working well.
So thank you - with yours i have to do an exception renaming folders, i fear.

Mate, when the mod change/replace game assets(textures,meshes,sound files...) you cannot change folder names or folder structure because the game cant find the assets.For this mod and mine you need to edit ''material_library.xml'' so the proper paths are added to match the new folder names or folder structure.Another example is if you use mods that change sound files you need to edit ''sound_library.xml''.

This is a great mod!

I think there are to many small stars? Watch this movie to see what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev9oPUNaqXE

Allso if you pan with the camera I get flickering stars, what I did was to copy stars_bright_few_diff.gz and rename it to "stars_dim_lots_diff.gz" and then the flickering stopped maybe you can use that to pin point whats causing it.
