[MOD anticipation] Realspace Highres Package and Galaxy

Realspace · Post by **Realspace** » Mon, 19. Jan 09, 19:28

So people I am back into mdding X3.

It is very easy to adapt my backgrouns mod from Reunion (and many thanks to Spacefueladdict who is helping with a new release: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php? ... =realspace).

So what I'am xperimenting now is a general increase in all possibe visual aspects of the game.

Backgrounds have also been modified, the new ones are "more realistic" than my previous release, less coloured nebulae and more accurate and detailed skybox. Of course I'm giving high attention to the new terran sectors where...well..many nice things have been created...but also really ugly ones!

Planets are so my first object of improvement. textures textures textures...

Unfortunally I can only import body files into Gmax but no scene, and in any case no attempt to export it back works!

So if somebody can help...it is a very easy task what I need is to import a close_planet model (as example, Argon), to make it amost flat (it is an half sphere, I need it to be just a bit curved surface), to export it back (with same materials and mapping). That's all

Up to now I already have colected a massive package of modifications, so I'll release soon it as stand alone mod.

Here an eycandy .... new planet (new clouds and sea and terrain) new sky for the solar system (milky way).

This planet is nice so from far away as from very close, no need to have different planets for different distances....if we ever had the possibility to enlarge sectors we could have it at the center and navigate to/from it with accelerators (scripts) or SETA. Unfortunally 4000km is the max width possible...maybe someone can convince egosoft to release a patch for it?

And..ladies and gentlemen...I present you..the earth!

Hey Man,

This sounds awsome

, Those pics look absolutly fantastic... what little gems do you have to put into you're mod? do you also have any pic of the types of backgrounds that you may use?

Also if there is any testing that you need doin, will be happy to help,

Will be watching with eager anticipation

Couple of suggestions for this go-around of this mod...

The Realspace backgrounds mod had stars that were too tiny and resulted in the entire background flickering whenever your ship turned. I'd suggest either sticking to the default texture sizes for the skyboxes or making the stars themselves bigger in size.

On the same note the recent conversion of that mod was producing some framerate issues in TC. Might wanna look into that to make sure you don't reproduce it by accident.

Good luck!

Nice to see you doing this for TC Realspace, X3R was much better with your efforts, I'm sure TC will also be improved

Hi mate, was just wondering how your progress is going?

Hope that things are going well, and really looking forward to some more gems to emerge.

Do you have any more pic of some of the stuff you are creating?

It is perplexing that the author has not made a progress update since January while his co-author Spacefueladdict is in the process of finalising a very similar mod in another thread not far away.
