I'm interested into the effects you're working on, possible feedbacks here since as you probably know I've been modding planets and backgrounds for long.

I just look at the screenshots, so I see a nice glow on cloud layer, how did you implemented that, through SHADERS?
A side note, the planet seems to be missing the HAZE...

I'm not clever enough to edit or create new shaders

although I did have a look if I could a while ago. All I edited was the planets textures. See here to see the files I edited. The clouds iirc I basically tweaked the contrast, and some other stuff to make the clouds appear deeper.

Also your other point, yeah I removed the haze, because when I look at real pictures of planets there is not any so I edited the 'planets_haze_?????' files which took more than just changing the contrast. These files along with the planets_clouds_2ndedition_blue_diff.dds causes the glow.

Actually there is haze in real planet...only it is not the one we see in the game!

This is a pic of the the haze I created (sx) vs the original (dx):

real cool but after 1 hour of gameplay...ctd...sad face , back to the other mods...

Dooms1988 · Post by **Dooms1988** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 23:15

Your getting that too? I have the same problem, but couldn't tell if it was mod or some of the scripts I am also using. I tried at first using the X1 past and future mod, and played for bout 2-4 hours (having so much fun didn't keep track of time) and then crashed, figured, happens so loaded game started playing and crashed few mins later, and continued to crash every time. So Uninstalled mod, installed this mod and decided to give it a try, see differences, and see what the crashing was all about. Again start game play for 2-4 hours (yet again having fun) and then crash, reload and like before crashes ever 2-4 mins. So don't know what the hell to think now. And cant post anything on technical support forum page.[/code]

Problem Is I don't know if its the mod or what it is.
Are you using any other scripts other then things in this mod?

Ive also been getting some help in the technical support forums to try and figure it out ,Ive tried a few things but they haven't helped yet. but ill keep trying and ill let you know if i fix it.

What I don't get is, Its perfectly fine for a few hours and then begins to crash constantly. what would cause that?

Most likely the mod then for some reason, Im trying out a diff mod now to see if it does the same.

The-Last-Communist · Post by **The-Last-Communist** » Sun, 28. Feb 10, 02:00

Dooms1988 · Post by **Dooms1988** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 01:21

The Apricot Merge mod, Seems to be pretty cool, Its a bunch of scripts and mods merged together, and the creator is very active. I havnt had a problem with it yet, so it looks like it was the mod.

The-Last-Communist · Post by **The-Last-Communist** » Mon, 1. Mar 10, 11:36

well i think its the mod , becos x2 was moded , my x3 reunion was moded and x3 tc was moded , for me a thew months after its realise

nice mod, hope you're continuing your work on the graphics for X3! Just a little thing; your "no trails" mod also takes out all the missile trails in the game

So....what does it change exactly? How is it more difficult, etc?

SS_T · Post by **SS_T** » Fri, 26. Mar 10, 20:31

I just want to say, recently I haven't had the time to work on the mod at all and that I am finding it hard to motivate myself to work on x3.

I don't recommend the mod to be used because there is a lot of problems which I haven't fixed. As you probably an tell if you play it.

to answer this question:

So....what does it change exactly? How is it more difficult, etc?

Mostly this mod edited the graphics, I didn't get to change the difficulty.

If anyone wants to have a go continuing the mod, I would be happy to allow you.
