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

[Schabernack]

thanks for responce Realspace, well what i really want to achive is using your nice backgrounds without any fogs and allways the same range of sight about 80-120km.

The file i posted is the socalled nebelexmod, as you mentioned it does not add backgrounds it only changes the fogs to disapear and chnages the line of sight.

if i change in your version of the TBackground file every line like

[Realspace]

1st consider this: fog is eliminated in my mod, except in some few sectors that are inside a nebula, so there the fog is heavy.

but, if you want to eliminate fog from EVERY background, I suggest you activate my mod, start the galaxy editor, edit all the backgrounds having fog and set visibility to 1000km (you have to activate the advanced features of the editor first = numpad enter, then see below). after this you have to export the TBackground file, in the editor there is a line with "export settings", click there (apparently nothing happens), then see inside the X3mainfolder/Types/ folder, there is a new TBackground.txt file. put it inside my mod and substitute the existing TBackgrounds.pck (remember to always compress it using Doubleshadow's editor). finished

thanks a lot, i will have a try

I found out that unfortunally the engine use tex/true files above the dds files so my backgrounds that have improved dds file don't benefit of the new textures I made, that's why some backgrounds seem so pixelated.

it's a bit of work to correct all this and no time, sorry... but new backgrounds will be inside the Continuum Galaxy mod (http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=199067&start=45), that will have a much darker space ... but I assure they will be more realistic and have much more deepness ... did I mention they are animated?

Sorry if I am not supposed to bump this thread, but I am trying to download it (the link WITHOUT the xtended mod type), and both of the links are not working. The first one just does not download, it stays showing a progressing download file, but it never downloads. And the second link I'm supposed to enter those 4 digits so I can download the file, well I always enter the 4 digits yet nothing happens, the page refreshes and I have to enter another 4 digits.

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.

[xuerebx]

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 :

[zwierzu]

I have small problem too...

I downloaded version for XTM and I cannot install it...

I am changing the '10.dat' and '10.cat' files to '12.dat' and '12.cat' (my last numbers in main directory are 11.dat and .cat) but mod doesn't load...
Bah - X3 crashes when Im trying to load my savegame...

I dont know what to do, your mod is awesome and I cannot activate it...
Can someone help me?

My X3 looks like this:
-X3
-latest patch 2.5
-bonuspack
-cockpit mod
-xtm
-salvage claim software
-bail signal extension
-guildpack by Cycrow
-asteroid relocator
-factory complex constructor

P.S. Sry for bad english

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

[X2-Eliah]

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)
