[Request] Turn off the space dust (Solved)

Post by Hordak » Sat, 16. Nov 13, 12:51

Am I the only one who finds the "particles" that indicate your flying direction completely annoying? It just doesn't feel like proper space. Would be great to have a mod for turning this off :)

EDIT: Thanks to killerog for the mod, see his post below.

They provide a lot of the sense of movement - which is their main function.

If you want to disable them, there should probably be a texture file responsible that can be replaced with a blank texture.

Great, but I have no idea how to do that ;) I think the stars and surrounding objects are enough to provide you with a sense of direction, at least it seems to work in other space games.

Extract this file (use 7zip) into the extensions folder, then activate it in game.

Yay! Mod Number 2. It's not much but I'll take it. The particles look kind of silly.

Edit: This texture has an issue up against the sun in DeVries. They turn into dark gray/transparent strips.

Things like this are easy, as long as you know what texture it is :)

Wow that was fast, thanks a lot killerog :)

@DaMuncha: If it doesn't exist, you need to create an "extensions" folder in your "X Rebirth" installation directory and then put the extracted folder "SBMod_Remove_Dust" inside that directory.

No problem. And you are right about where to put the folder. Was going to write some more instructions but was in a rush.
