[MOD] No Fog V0.2

Post by enenra » Tue, 19. Nov 13, 23:38

No Fog
V0.2
by enenra

Removes all fog* from the game.

*the nebulae that you see in some zones.

Note that it is still there, but invisible, so you will still be able to harvest it.

Installation:
Place the extracted folder in your Steam\SteamApps\common\x_rebirth\extensions\-folder (create one if it doesn't exist yet). Then make sure when you launch the game that the extension is enabled.

Works good. The grey veil is no big deal to me. I see it as background dust making space seem fogged, but way off in the distance. I like it.

does this by chance have any positive effect on performance?

I had to restart the campaign because of a bug.
When I arrived in the area where you meet with the "heart of albion" ship to deliver the women I noticed that you could see all the way to the ship which was hidden in fog before and the background was clear black.

However when you approached the ship and "entered" the fog the background became kind of milky.

This reminded me that in X3 you had those dust/fog clouds as well but could it be that the background didn't become milky?
Maybe that would be an alternative look we could try?

That milky grey thing is what I mention in my post above. :)
It's probably gonna be wherever there was fog before.

Yes I know.
But I'm talking about a version with fog but without milky background.

As soon as I find what causes it, sure. ;)

Nebulae are defined in region_definitions.xml; looks like the thing causing the gray veil may be 'backgroundfog=true', though that's just a guess.

EDIT: The following code in region_definitions.xml removes the tint and all traces of nebulae from the game:

Since nebula are a gameplay element (they can be harvested for fuel), removing them in this manner may have unexpected consequences, but it'll almost certainly help people whom nebulae are causing poor performance.

It's possible to eliminate the nebulae that have no resources assigned to them and leave the ones that do, but I didn't do that with this code. Also, some things eliminated may have nothing to do with nebulae - the positional ones almost certainly do, but I'm unsure on viewcorrection nodes. I'm not clear on what they do; I just removed them with this test to make sure that I got all possible candidates of that greyness in the background.

When I deactivate your mod, the game tells me my saves are no longer supported version.

In details it says its because of the missing extension nofog.

Help?

You can either go into the save file in a notepad and manually delete the code referencing the extension.

Or you can DL this wonderful Save Editor that lets you delete the extensions.

Awesome, thanks!

Regarding harvesting - the thing I've done is actually removing the bodies (objects) of the nebula from the scene (macro). The nebula elements are still there where they were before. Now depending on how the code is set up, this should still allow ships to harvest the now invisible nebula. I wonder if I just change the tint whether it will still work like that. (if I don't remove all parts of the nebula as you do with your code there)

Here's an updated region_definitions.xml file (goes under libraries) that only eliminates the 'veil' you see. It actually looks quite nice if you just use this without getting rid of the actual clouds, though of course there's no performance increase.

If you'd like to be able to see that there's a nebula around (since they can still be used for harvesting) you can increase the numbers slightly to get a bit of that 'veil' back.

If you'd like to be able to see that there's a nebula around (since they can still be used for harvesting) you can increase the numbers slightly to get a bit of that 'veil' back.
Thanks for finding and sharing this.
What I haven't completely understood yet.
Do we need to see the veil because it's game relevant or does it only appear together with the cloud textures?

The best thing about this mod is it seems to drastically improve performance, except for the random choppiness that seems to occur sometimes when ships spawn (reload is the only thing that seems to fix this).

The veil was just defined separately from the fog itself. V0.3 removes that as well. It's only game relevant in so far that it's possible to harvest the fog (which is still possible since as far as the game is concerned, the fog is still there. Just not visible to the player).

I was just asking because I would like to use the script which removes the veil but I
would like to keep the clouds.
But if the veil itself is as well a game element then I would have to live with it.
Invisible gameplay elements aren't very practical :)
