After Dropbox closed the links because of the traffic (

) I I created alternate links to MEGA for the settings-file and the minipatch.
Please, EGOSOFT, create a part of this page where Modders can upload ther mods...
Or let steam do it, time for them to get useful...

greetings, MJ Fire

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.

good idea.
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?

Commodore MJ Fire · Post by **Commodore MJ Fire** » Wed, 2. Apr 14, 19:31

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...

So, I finally released the Ency-Mod here. So the Mod gots his original name back- with a new slogan and better describing!

Will this beautiful piece of work decrease my FPS?

Commodore MJ Fire · Post by **Commodore MJ Fire** » Mon, 7. Apr 14, 23:25

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.

Thanks to both of you, great job. After a while of getting used to the darker appearance I'm really enjoying the new look & feel.

Lower FPS for me too but not so bad..

what a mod...

huge thx for this brilliant one.

What could we do without the modders ? not a lot...

thx and keep updating

The original pink and flashi color everywhere was definitivly inedible.

moon123456 · Post by **moon123456** » Tue, 15. Apr 14, 22:49

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

Commodore MJ Fire or Ico

The guys see last version of the 'Tarr Chronicles', (game), 1.8? Well... the visual is fantastic. You can do more effects with colors in shades of gray, (with bloon, is fantastic)?

Thanks

I have a small issue (noobie when it comes to mod, and most likely my issue and not the mods) With the sweetFX (with your settings file + plus the other files in main directory) the game wont start, says a Serious error has occurred. Any ideas and do I need sweet FX to use the mod, as the game starts if I remove sweetfx files.

Cheers

Tan

Commodore MJ Fire · Post by **Commodore MJ Fire** » Fri, 25. Apr 14, 02:11

Hm, don't know what the Problem is- seems to be a Sweetfx (Re-Imagined) Problem. My mod and Re-Imagined are independent to each other (of course, two authors) So when you can't install Re-Imagined- no Problem, start the game with the mod but without Re-Imagined, It will work with no Problems.
The best way is to ask DeserterX directly, but I don't know if he's in this Forum...
hm, you need an Account to Nexus, this is a Problem-

hope, he has a mailadrees somewhere at nexus... Yisha_Technician is also his Mod- is it in this Forum?

Arg, wanted to upload this mod to the workshop- and then found out, that there is a 100 MB limit- seriously? for REBIRTH? Every normal mod containing one ore more ships or station meshs will be bigger than that! Cant understand this...
