Quoting AxelDude, reply 146Any idea on how to remove the spiral effect with multiple stars? It worked on the older version of Stars (think 2.3), but I can't seem to find the spiral textures lol

Hi, Man!

I suppose, You could simply modify 

"SkyBoxProperties" file, by removing these lines:

numFarStarIconCloudTextureNames 3
textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_1" - (by the way, the names of that textures)
textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_2"
textureName "Stars_SKY_Lavender_Spiral_3"
It should look like:
numFarStarIconCloudTextureNames 0
 
I think, it might work.
 

Tried this but gives me a a spiraly white 3d object, i'll try and change the textures to an empty one.

Find boshimi. I believe he made a mod that removed and replaced those effects.

what I did to get rid of the spiral nebula was to copy the Black-da.dds into the mod's texture folder, then copy Black-da.dds into the mod's texture folder renaming the copy to each of the following

galaxyspiral.dds
galaxyspiral2.dds
galaxyspiral3.dds

this got rid of the spirals for me.

I've installed it like any other, and it works perfectly (and my game's version is Spanish, that caused problems with other mods. But this works well).

Didn't work for me, alteast with the newest version (2.4), i've renamed the files to the following you said but still the same, well I guess I'll have to play with the spiral effect lol :D

 

EDIT: lol okay I changed the Stars_SKY_xxx textures to empty ones and it worked.

The Multiple Stars Graphics Mod does not currently support the Stars mod at this time. It's simply a matter of time on my part as I have not dug into the mod files. What harpo99999 describe should work as that is a very similar method to what I used.

 

AxelDude, if I gave you full permission for your Stars Spiral Fix, could I post that in my Multiple Stars Graphics Mod thread just so it is centralized?

Help?!

I have been trying to download an active stars mod (2.3 - 2.31) from moddb and filefront, and when I try to extract them, I am recieving a diagnostic error in the extracting mentioning unknown method in dip 1.01.

I have used winrar 7zip to see if that was the problem. 

 

This is the only mod and compressed item that I have come across with this problem.

 

Is it the download sites that corrupted this mod?

 

Thanks for any help

I thought of that, but I am running three different anti-virual programs and zip. This is the only file/mod that when I extract into it's folder mirrors the file but has a zero size value.

Has anyone ever come across this problem before?

This may sound stupid, but did you hit "Open" or "Save as.." ? you should try save as if you didn't because the open option puts it in your temp files and will be removed if you close your browser. Other than that I can't help you as I haven't had any problems like that.

what happened to the dark fleet remnants

other than that it's a very nice mod, especially the new skyboxes, which are more subtle and ambient than the vanilla ones, and the soundtrack which suits the slower pace

also the vasari titan's  support aura (i think the one that increases physical damage output and damage reduction) only affects the titan itself

the in-transit phase jump particle effect appears to be missing

beautiful mod i'm enjoying playing it!

a question

i had a little "problem" but i dunno if it's related to your mod or simply to the vanilla game

whenever i start to play with an artificial planetoid home planet i have

1) no colony ship... unless i use capital's special ability

2) FLEET LOGISTIC HALFED IN THE REASEARCH O.O (i dunno if sucks more this or the colony ship total non availability, i have to think about it....)

is it normal? mod plotted? core/vanilla game?

i'm just seriously playing since a week so i dunno really

Hello! 

All the mentioned points are the Minor Faction features... (DETAILS)

It's recommended to restart the game until You get normal location (It's always Urbanized planet).

Minor Player presence in maps is marked by [M-?] index, You also may play the same maps without Minor Players.

Regards  |-)

Ah ok, i knew i had to restart the game till i get NOT the artificial planetoid :P

but the info was useful cause i also wanted to know  about this specifically (sorry for not reading the concepts T.T)

cause i liked a lot the artificial planetoid design :), starting with it as home planet was truly fascinating (and now that i think about it... really so "minor factioning") i was hoping to start a game with artificial planetoid as home WITHOUT the minor faction flaws :(... but i guess i cannot have anything... i will just conquer one or two of them in the map lately and look at them amazed

still thanking you for your mod

regards ^_^ and compliments as well

Hey, Aplos. When will be released the next version 4.01? I don't want to start translating the mod until the next version is completed, as you said.

This mod looks cool but how do I replace some of the music?

 

I don't really like the piano stuff.
