I will rename it and try again.
Having a bit of purple dithered into some of the portraits in things like Galnet is a side-effect of using color-based HUD customizations. There may be a way around this using a coordinate-based color scheme, but it's time-consuming and not worth doing until Odyssey releases.I will rename it and try again.
Works much better without my override file. I still have a weird hot pink effect in main menu images, and flashing back and forth from ambient off to on. I'll delete shaderfixes one at a time. Very interesting process I may play around with 3dmigoto a bit now that I have a known good backup.
That's Frontier's doing, though if you turn off the HUD (which also turns off the scratched canopy), that will let more light in than the default. This "dim everything as seen inside your ship" is part of Frontier's new lighting system. You can really see it by approaching a nebula and viewing inside vs outside, even without my mod.
..makes the game infinitely better.That's what I was aiming for
No no, this is way more complex than you realize, as the Milky Way "band" is generated fresh every time you jump. It's not just a static image like you would have in a terrestrial simulator like Microsoft Flight Simulator. I can shift colors, saturation, brightness, and contrast, but I can't render an entirely different image that dynamically changes based on where you are in the galaxy.
Asking the same question 50 times won't change my answer...
lol I posted that and then you answered at the same time.
I just solved this problem for VR (at least on my system). Add the following code to your d3dx.ini file in the TEXTURE OVERRIDES section:
[TextureOverrideAHUDVR]
Hash = 176e98b7
ps-t2 = ResourceBlankTextureA lot of these questions have been answered in this thread, so I recommend going back through. I know it's a pain, but so is answering the same question over and over and over againThis mod makes all the difference to me! For all the time I've spent playing on Xbox I've lost count of the times I've complained about how bright everything is, how 'easy' it is with everything highlighted/targeted, the cluttered HUD, the silly comet-NPCs in supercruise and all that white stuff whizzing by (although I guess the snow is there to give an impression of speed and general movement).
I've recently picked Elite up on Steam after building a 4k capable PC, so straight away the game looks miles better than my ancient Xbox One. With this mod everything looks even better. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, not that you need to explain it like you've had to, it's pretty clear from the first post that it's a personal choice...
Just a few things of note that I thought I would mention, for potential future updates to the mod.
- I'm still seeing the HUD side bars when in supercruise ONLY in Analysis Mode. Is this fixable?
- One thing I liked that's gone is the little light-dot representing a station as you got close to it in supercruise. It may have been the original intention but I used that little light to tell whether the station was behind the planet or not. I've tried toggling everything on/off as I approach the station and it made no difference so I guess it's turned off by the main Black Space part of the mod? I guess there's no easy way to turn this station reflection thingy back on?
- Am I able to amend the .ini file to start a session with toggles on or off, how I want them? Currently the game loads with HUD off, lights on and the HDR on (activated, ship cockpit at its darkest). I know it's just a toggle but I'd like to fire up a game with lights off and HDR off.
- Do you have a hash I can add to the .ini file to turn off the haze inside stations? I tried copying from Cmdr AD's txt file but it threw up a shader warning on start up.
I haven't been land-side with this mod yet but if screenshots are anything to go by, I won't be disappointed. I do hope you have time to keep this mod active - you could probably even charge a small amount for it to 'cover your expenses' and I'd bet many would pay, I know I would.
TL
I highly recommend switching your in-game Effects setting to low. This will remove station fog and some other "cheesy" effects, and it looks way better than removing these with shader manipulation. You'll lose a few other things like heat and supercruise shimmer, but heat shimmer in the vacuum of space isn't realistic anyway.
A lot of these questions have been answered in this thread, so I recommend going back through. I know it's a pain, but so is answering the same question over and over and over again
That said, anyone using the mod is welcome to answer these and other questions that pop up.
Just adding to my d3dx hash skips right now (although I have tried your hud mod and OD's realistic mod, both are amazing and I hope they survive Odyssey).
Have you tried tapping F1 a couple of times? That gets rid of all sorts of floating labels.
