To attach pics where?

What pics btw?I dont get it.

in order to request a custom planet retex, do we have to also attach pics of said planets or you research them yourself?

Commodore MJ Fire · Post by **Commodore MJ Fire** » Thu, 23. Jan 14, 21:09

hey, back here.
I think anything in the game makes texturing of the env_cloudtrims01 impossible, so now i try to change the texture in the .xmf files like observe tells us- the way Ginger470 found out. Now I'm testing...

When i start working on textures for XR(planets in this case) i always try to stay as close as possible to vanilla look and feel.

Now, if you want some planet to be re-textured it would be good to attach screenshot of it so that i will know exactly which planet do you want.If you have idea how the planet should look like you can also attach some refference images because i need to have some idea what do you want.

Btw right now, if is lore friendly the chance you're gonna get what you want is higher.

Actualy i've already moded Station interior textures but i didnt release it because is far from ready and it doesnt look that much better.It only cleans all the pixelated, streched dirt from the textures(Mass Effect style).

thats sounds awsome !
could you put them up as errm WIP?
also is it me or did you edit your high way tubes? your look awsome

Arg... YES!

Got it! Got it down, the bad fighting texture planet_cloudtrims01.

solution: Go to Steam, left click on the game, properties, start options and in that window put -prefersinglefiles then the game will load from any extracted files in the game folder, if they are there. Now, take your modified texture and put it in the folder it is in the Dat file (assets\textures\environments in this case) NOT in the extensions file, put the assets folder direcly into your game folder- and it WORKS!

You dont need a material_libary.xml for that solution, It takes any game files you put in there. Don't know how it doesn't want to take the file in the extension, the file in there ist the same and my line for the libary is correct... Now, time to test what happens if I switch the big central earth-like Planet in OL with the unused gasgiant remaining in the cluster_c folder...

greetings, MJ Fire

Commodore MJ Fire, post some sreenshots i wanna see the gas giant when you replace it.

Btw i've replaced all clouds and nebulas in Omicron to be loaded from extension folder but i still need to change the textures so it didnt shiped with the mod.

Ok, i will release it.But wont be supported unless if i start reworking Interior geometry and so on which wont be soon.Btw the main reason for not release it is that half of the interior textures are used on the stations.You will have very clean textures next to textures with durt and stuff.It doesnt look very homogeneous.

For highway tubes i'm using ''HCVFX- No Distant Lanes 1_2'' : http://www.nexusmods.com/xrebirth/mods/263/?

don't want to load the gasgiant mesh, uses the old original files again, but after beating the env_cloudtrims i can simply replace the original planet textures with my new gasgiant texture made this day, only two little problems left, its only Photoshop finetuning...

here a screen of the nearly finished planet:

Yes, one of them is the failed mipmapping you see, give me 10-20 minutes...
