[ *** V.2 ***] Realspace Backgrounds Mod

Carlo the Curious · Post by **Carlo the Curious** » Tue, 3. Jun 08, 19:08

Bumping script threads is (usually) okay, and encouraged - it keeps all the info on a script in one place.

Looks to me like the primary download site is busy and the other is out of bandwidth.

Ah right.

Well I have been trying but so far no luck!

EDIT: Oh it seems I downloaded it from the italian site! Finally!

I don't know why I waited this long to use this background mod. I installed it, XTM version, and everything is Beautiful.
However, there is a problem in fog sectors. The triangles appear, basically the same issue in my game as :

and, I have artifacts that appear as long streaks. These streaks come and go sometimes when I target another ship. Sometimes when I zoom out they go away.
I'm pretty sure the fog/clouds sectors are the only problem ones. Here's a picture:

I think from reading thru 14 pages of thread that deleting the fog part of the Realspace script would correct the problem; but it is not a simple thing for those of us who don't do modding/scripting. I don't know how to do this (open the mod and delete TBackgrounds). I would hate to have to uninstall this beauty of a mod so soon. As I said I love the no-fog sectors. Could it be possible to have a mod posted somewhere without Tbackgrounds? If not I will try something else. I don't want to just give up.
Thanks.
[EDIT]OK I reinstalled a new X3 directory and put my XTM patch and scrtipt in and then Realspace BG over that. The artifacts "streaks" are gone, so obviously some other mod/script was not working well with Realspace BG. The polygonal fog effect is still there. That is not a killer problem like the streaks but if someone could tell me exactly how to remove TBackgrounds it would take care of the fog. If you say "open the mod" I need to know what program to open it with, for instance. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Beautiful. Breathtaking, even. Almost convinced me to change my course to some astrology or cosmology one.

Now, now, I'm going to go off and see if this works good with Roguey's... after my exams are up.

Hiya, Regards,
I love your mod m8 its beautiful but i got some objections.
For first,as for me, it isnt Fully Compatibile with XTM. Example: Can't jump or even enter sectors Xenon 248 and Eighteen Bilion(propobly more) - game just crashes when jumping. Is there a way to eliminate that Without reinstalling whole game, starting a new game etc etc?

Star-Streaking:

This is due, I believe, to some XTM/Custom ships. For sure, the Pirate Elite and Pirate BlastClaw. Some kind of incompatibility with the models? The problem occurs both while piloting and targetting, with the elite being the worst of the two in my experience.

I never see a problem with this mod except when those two ships are around. I haven't exactly thoroughly play-tested to see if any other ships might cause this, but during play-throughs of plot mission and beyond, it's the only time I've experienced the streaking.

So, give up that BlastClaw and Elite you're flying, get into a stock ship... problem solved... for now =).

Any chance the files can be put somewhere where I don't have to be a member to download them, PLEASE

I seem to have an interesting issue with this mod (XTM-compatible version).

The thing is, whenever I move my ship in any direction, the stars on the background (not the main system star, but the small ones on the background) flicker a lot, which is really disturbing..
Is this an issue due to low resolution, system, or is it meant to be so? (Specs in signature)

The issue you have with the artifacts is due to the fact that you are flying the Deathclaw pirate ship. That ship and the Real backgrounds mod seem to give that problem. I tried to change the cockpit in the Tships file, No dice. So this is something we have to live with I guess. I don't know if any other ships produce these "lines" too.

2_A Download and Download mirror links are both broken.

Too bad, was really hoping to install this. Been looking for a good stand alone background change that's vanilla safe.

XenonDestroyer · Post by **XenonDestroyer** » Mon, 25. Mar 13, 08:27

Yeah I was also hoping to get this but both files seem to be deleted or invalid. Hopefully someone with the backgrounds can re-upload it.

Realspace · Post by **Realspace** » Sun, 31. Mar 13, 21:06

i'm sorry guys but me neither have the files anymore. if someone having them could upload and link i'd be happy to put them in the first page. i know there are several mods out there that include my mod so they still have the files for sure, try asking. i don't have any concern about it, it's only a game so be free to use my work as you wish, edit it or change, implement, whatever. only i don't give support here anymore, sorry

Realspace · Post by **Realspace** » Sun, 7. Apr 13, 12:55

Found the fles included in Continuum mod, polishing them and cleaning all isses such as stars flickering and incompatibility with Cockpits Mod, all done and 100% working.
This will be relased in the X3TC section. See you there

Silencer · Post by **Silencer** » Tue, 20. Dec 16, 12:31

Hi All,

any updates on the possibility of someone having found this mod for X3 Reunion, possibly also compatible with XTM?
this was one of those "essential" mods...

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Tue, 20. Dec 16, 14:27

I found version 2A of the mod on my harddrive and re-uploaded it:
