Moderators: Moderators for English X Forum, Scripting / Modding Moderators
Played around with it for a while , and I love what you did with OL , bringing back the earlyer version of it , looks so much more like "X" , you know like the old X2 over the top , but beautiful space
however there are things that happen , for some reason the water planet is transparent for me , and there are stars in front of it...
after I saw that I tryed to fine tune the mod for my own personal taste.
putting back OL nebula so I could use ICOhrs. would prefer a merge of yours + his lol.
would it be possible , to have a version that only brings stuff back , but not remove things , or change textures.
so all the planet changes like the sun in DV , the planets in OL (without removing fogplains)
just wondering.
annyway either way a beautyfull mod and realy makes me wonder why they did not use the older versions of there maps to begin with

Hm, this is X- nothing works the same way twice Don't know, why it makes this texture transparent... can you upload a screenshot?
The Problem is that I had to reconstruct the old concept with retexturing and adding new planets with new textures like the gasgiant, based on the Maelstrom gasgiant. Using the old original meshs and tex doesn't work for some reason, was removed or doesn't have the right size, and the cityplanet only works with retexturing. you of course can just erase the entrys for the bg tex or planet tex to mix both mods, then the tex from ICO-hr would work with my mod. I would mix primary Icos Albion BG with my halmnan (two different meshs, no problem) but in OL mixing is a problem: I also changed the BG meshs rotation and added a mesh, so mixing there is more difficult...
But yes, a conversion would be nice
Hm, many work to create a 'light version' with only changing concepts but I can try...

the water planet was still transparent , shame but oh well know I have the gas giant , and for some reason it makes it feel like good old X2.
so I am good.
say , have you tryed adding back in the old clusters? like cluster H , I , E etc... there a lot of deleted stuff so much they could make a Xrebirth 2 just by adding it back in lol.
did you try that? when I do it , it brakes , but maybe you can.

Yes, I tried, the same way as you did- also with a crash. Thats the reason I had to reconstruct it- but in original, the gasgiant was a 2d Background tex, so my version could be better
But some of these old Models in there still work, as the deactivated BG for Maelstrom. I just hat to rework the tex a little bit.
Waterplanet: repositioning the BG stars could help- sometimes this mesh for them is too small and the planet is outside- the reason why the planet seems to be transparent- only a therory why there is this problem.

So far as I could tell , it seems that my issue is , only the haze of the water planet is present , no matter I removed it. what I realy love is that massive gas giant , I still am amazed that they removed it , why?!Commodore MJ Fire wrote:Yes, I tried, the same way as you did- also with a crash.

Ok, got new Informations from the t-File and with that the internal encyclopedia-informations, so, the time is right to go to the next level: because Shining was only a prequel and i have enough info for 1.0, I can tell you:
The new Ency(clopedia)-Mod for XRebirth is coming!
My next step will be releasing the Version 1.0. For Shining users: Ency 1.0 is for you the next Update to Shining!
Biggest new part in Ency: Much more changings in Maelstrom: the black hole will be there and BG changes- because the system is at the center -and it's the creator- of the halmnan.

I am not shure but I found information some time ago that either , a deleted or planned DLC in the future take place in the ridge of that black hole in OM.
do you know anything more about this?

No, I just read the sector- and system-descriptions they put into the t-file, and there is nothing about that- not a word about the black hole in OL, But there are 3 Descriptions in Maelstrom describing the black hole in this system- but it's not there! And no, they don't put it into the wrong sector... So I can't tell you if its true...
Other thing: After 10 years Egosoft still has not the ability to create a operabe alpha-blendeffect. I want to get a black-hole-jet in maelstrom to be UNDER the disc, but the bad blend-effect (this is the same issue as in X3!) makes that impossible! It is BEHIND the disc and looks like its position is BEFORE! Hate that...

Hm, There are different reports about that- some people told me that there fps rate even gets better- but if this is because of the Mod (Hm, I don't think so ) or the Re-Imagined- not shure. Textures in much chases have the same pixel size as the Originals, I don't think that it really decreases your framerate- or just a little bit. But I don't really know how this is on less powerful systems (I have a PC with a powerful Graphic Card and good Processor and RAM- already built for XR- Its a fluid gameplay nearly every time).
And I also play with a high End Version of PIMP MY SKUNK, with some self-upgraded 4k Textures, so Enzy is not really the one eating my capacities...
I think, it would be nice, if Mod users can post, if playing decreases their Framerate. Thats already interesting for me to know. So, post your experiences!
@Sparky Sparkycorp: Yes of course- but come on guys, this is a SUN and you're in its ORBIT! In reality, No sunglasses in the universe can protect you from THIS! And Its playable, As you can see at the screens, its not as extreme as it sounds first, and I did play it many hours after resizing the sun- even at the Canteran Homesector.

In fact...
I learned that the dvpt had to goal x-box and this kind of "stuff".
I undestand the so colored commitment.
I wanted to say after 20 minutes only of amazment using ur mod :
THIS IS WHAT I EXPECTED WHEN I BAUGHT X-birth ! And certainly not the original color design...
So, many thx to you. Half of my money should be surredner to you
