Works great on current version (3.4)

reeeeally need this...-

This seems to have stopped working with the 2.8 update. Plans to fix? Ok to fork if I can figure out how to fix it?

Anyone got a mod like this for individual suns?
Every space battle ends up near a planets sun and trying to watch a battle gets irritating with blinding sunlight....

use this and got to say cause of vision issues
one great mod

Thanks Minoris for info

Inaccessible cause it would swallow any ship that strays too close.

and where is the super massive black hole in the center?

It's working for 2.3 just fine as is.

Please update for 2.3

Thanks.

I can confirm that this mod totally removes the core of the galaxy. Problem comes from the center.dds file, which is just a black square instead of a proper new texture. Until this file is fixed, there won't be no core for anyone using this mod.

emmmm....It's not dimmer core mod's nor multicoloured galaxy texture mod's problem.Paradox just didn't expect there'll be stars in the core and left the bug... Seems we need sentry arrays for everyone.

Found the "dark fog core" problem too after changed to 2.2.4. The "survey"command , "observe" command and the sentry array open the view properly, while the science ships can't clear up the dark fog that covers the core after surveying it.

there's no core at the center, that's it.

When cheking mods before starting a game with "observe" command, all its working fine. But in game when I discovered the core stars there is a completely dark "fog"

Do you mean it's dark, or there are no stars there? Because this is supposed to just tone down the brightness of the galaxy texture.

Same here, no core

well, the core has disappeared..

@Vaeringjar
The last update for that one was a year and a half ago, I think it's safe to call it dead and buried.

Never used it. But it looks like it was released and never updated.

how does this compare to https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=912824411

Hey I think this mod makes L gate regions super dark with no team colors. :( not a huge bug but I was super confused why I had no visible territory when I captured it.

Is there any way to make it even dimmer? This mod helps but I still find the core of my galaxies way too bright and blinding.

Hi, I wrote a mod, Galaxy Cores , and I was advising people to use your Dimmer Core. I've also been using one of your galaxy textures in my own games.

I have just updated my mod with an improved method of dimming the core by removing a shader (go look in the FX folder) as well as the center.dds. As a consequence I was able to dim the vanilla background core to achive a greater dimming.

So, to be able to use your galaxy texture I had to dim it's core also and create a patch for my mod. I did this with all three of your textures. Full credits have been given, with links back to your textures. Please feel free to assimilate the shader modification.

Confirming the blacked out core on 2.0.4

Can confirm that bug is effecting me also.

@Marinho I noticed that too. It started happening to me on the new 2.0.2 beta. After a while it will randomly become colored again. I'm not sure what sets it off. I think it has to do with an empire claim land within the center.

Hmm for some reason the core of the Galaxy is Black even when I suvey the Systems.

Helps your eyesight though

No, it's just visual.

Does a dimmer core help game performance?

Wow, this is SO much better than either a galactic background with no graphic, as in black, or something so bright youre blinded. Way to go with this, +1.

Ah... Ok, then I shall go comment on that page and track it for solutions, then!

O.k. so I'm using Epic Galaxies that's what's affecting the brightness in 2.0, right? Do you think there's a way to fix this from your side? Or maybe create a bigger galaxy with more stars but an empty core as in vanilla? Because as it is now it doesn't really look very good.

Yes the game changed how it calcualted FOW. Not an issue for this mod, but for mods that add stars in the core (which another of my mods does).

#Gopher. Same for me.

I've managed to get an empire started in the center of the galaxy there, and I've noticed an issue. The fog of war doesn't lift like it's supposed too! Once my ships get outside the core, the fog of war works properly, but for the core? Just the big circle that sits there in vanilla!

As far as I can tell, the core is initially dim - as intended. However, once I explore into the core region and the fog of war lifts, it get's bright again (playing with a 2000 star galaxy).

Strange, sometimes it works and sometimes when I start a new game or load a savegame it doesn't. Turning the mod off and on again in the settings doesn't help either.

Thanks :)

I'll be updating it sometime today anyway.

Would it be possible to change the internal version number in an update so the error icon dissapears in 2.0?

I have this enabled and it appears it does not disable achievements.

Unfortunately it does now. It didn't used to, but it looks like 2.0 has change this. It's only a texture, it doesn't change anything else :(

Does this affect achievements?

FYI Still works in 2.0, just ignore the warning. No need to rush updating.

update?

Adding or removing it at any point in a game is fine.

Does this mod work with games in progress or do i need to restart?

@pikejoshua8 - this mod doesn't change galaxy size. Are you subscribed to 'epic galaxes - size, shape, core'?
