STARS MOD (standalone too) works fine with version 6.0 of the game and is required for XRSGE mod or can be used alone STARS MOD FOR VANILLA GAME IS FINISHED, NO UPDATES ARE NEEDED. YOU NEED TO UPDATE ONLY IF USING MY OTHER MOD XRSGE
LATEST RESHADE is also available to download This version is the latest, there is only one preset. STARS_dimm.ini I've implemented a better version of ANTIALISING. It works better than vanilla AA and SAO. It does not reduce the brightness of stars and is very effective indoor, the only trade-off is for the writings (UI set at 0.8 is good). My Reshade requires that game's AA and SSAO are OFF. Shadows and AA are managed by reshade. This also helps older gf cards and has a better result and better overall fps performance.
First of all, thank you for the great mod. X4 really looks better with it.
So far I have only noticed two things that I find a bit strange: 1. In the Brennan's Triumph sector there is now a desert planet instead of a lava planet.Is that intentional? I actually thought the lava planet was quite pretty. 2. In the The Void sector the texture of the largest moon is very washed out and the moon has no shadow side.
The planet in Brennan should be back to lava one with latest updates. I don't see the game without XRSGE since long, there I moved that moon. It is a thing of its materials, I should replace the model entirelly..
The moon/terraforming planet in Memory of Profit IX is also now a volcanic planet once terraformed, instead of the green-streaked planet it becomes in the base game.
Is there a reason you changed the terraformed planet in Memory of Profit IX from a green-swathed planet to being a half frozen volcanic planet? Its such a massive change and doesn't align at all with the terraforming projects performed on it.
edit: also the primary planet in Argon Prime doesn't load, just get the atmosphere halo and nothing else.
I have installed your latest Galaxy Remake STARS Mod and XRSGE - REALSPACE GALAXY EXPANSION Mod, best Galaxy Mods ever.
Now i want to use Reshade with your preset STARS - Optional RESHADE.
The issue is that after I installes Reshade v 5.1 like you recommended the game starts without the Reshade. The only way for me now is to use a newer Version of Reshade ( v 6.1.1), after installing this version the Reshade finally works.
Now some Questions.
A: Can I use the Reshade Version 6.1.1 with you preset and have a similar result like with 5.1?
B: What version of Reshade do you use with you preset?
C: Which shaderpacks do you install (I downloaded all of them because I dont know which of them do I need for this preset)?
D: Would you ad some Pictures of your game with an without the preset to see how we must align our settings to fit it the right way?
E: Would you share your adjustments for Gamma, Sharpness etc. you mentioned here and in the Egosoft Forum?
sorry for the long post.
Your MOD is just amazing and I want the proper settings to play, thats the reason for the questions.
Update: Now i use Reshade with the 6.2.0 Version, seems to work normally
Yes you can update to latest reshade, it works normally unless the libraries of those shaders I used are removed in latest version. It will work nevertheless, only the missing library will be disabled
You need to download a program called Reshade. When installing, select X4 and then Vulkan. Next, you select all the libraries that it offers. (I do not know if it is really necessary to download ALL the libraries, but this is what the author of the mod wrote on the EgoSoft forum) After installation, transfer the STARS_dimm.ini file to the game folder where the exe file is located. Next, start the game and press Home key, an interface opens in which you can choose which setting to use, select STARS_dimm.ini. P.S When installing libraries, you can select an ini file and, in theory, only the libraries needed for this file will be downloaded, but it is better to wait for the mod's author's response.

STARS does not modify the game's save so you can test it and remove in any moment
cheers for your work! I'm using just STARS and your latest RESAHDE for TAA.
In Hera's Twin I, I get black rings around the planet, is this intended?
