Hyperlane Variety (Blue)

Description
I always run with mods to make hyperlanes less obtrusive on the galaxy map. However, now with hyper relay networks, I found it difficult to tell where my relays were set up.

With this mod, regular hyperlanes are white and thin enough to be unobtrusive but still usable. Relay networks are smaller than before but still thicker than regular hyperlanes, and now sport a nice blue color.

Relay networks you don't have access to will show as a purple color, so you can easily spot some good targets when waging war.

Not achievement compatible, unfortunately.

So i have found a way to implement this mod directly into your Stellaris game files (since this is the only way that worked for me)

First you need to navigate into the 00_defines.txt file in the base game as well as the zz_defines.txt file in the mod files (The mod file for this mod is called 2813247928)

Now you will need to find the section of the base game 00_defines.txt file and locate NGraphics, scroll down to where it has the hyperlane and hyper relay lines of code.

Then go back to this mods defines file and copy the following code into the exact place to where it is in the base game defines file:

HIDE_HYPERLANES_OUTSIDE_TERRA_INCOGNITA = yes

SENSOR_RANGE_COLOR_MEDIUM = { 0.0 0.7 0.3 0.3 }
SENSOR_RANGE_COLOR_LOW = { 1.0 0.5 0.0 0.2 }

HYPERLANE_DEFAULT_COLOR = { 1.0 1.0 1.0 0.1 }
HYPERLANE_NO_ACCESS_COLOR = { 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.5 }
HYPERLANE_RELAY_COLOR = { 0.0 0.3 1.0 0.7}
HYPERLANE_RELAY_NOT_CONNECTED_COLOR = { 0.4 0.0 1.0 0.6}

HYPERLANE_SCREENSIZE_DEFAULT = 0.01
HYPERLANE_SCREENSIZE_MIN = 0.01
HYPERLANE_SCREENSIZE_MAX = 5.0
HYPERLANE_THICKNESS_DEFAULT = 0.5
HYPERLANE_THICKNESS_RELAY = 1.0

Once you have done that, you can press save and load up a fresh Stellaris game to test if it worked (preferably with no mods just to test if it has worked correctly)

Doesn't seem to work anymore, but man does the vanilla game need colored relay networks! Hope you have the time to update (or teach me how idiot I am for not getting it to work).

@Razeluxe Do you mean where you can see only the relay-connected lanes and the regular hyperlanes are invisible? Or do you mean vanilla hyperlanes with the new relay colors?

@ERROR//UNKNOWN sorry about the delay, busy life, lol. Something like this? :

i have a question, can you make it visible for hyperlane network only? so no "regular hyperlane" on it, only the network that we have constructed

Awesome! I am enthused to see it!

@ERROR//UNKNOWN Sure, it's a pretty easy adjustment to make.

Would you be willing to do one that turns the default lanes more teal, and the relays pink for greater contrast? The blue is almost harder for me to see sometimes and I'm not sure why.

Beautiful mod! Love how clean this makes your hyperlanes look! Thanks!
