@w.girl27 Hello again, I forgot how good these looked so I wanted to thank you for leaving this comment here too. As said in the other comment, these are not in but may try to get around to it this week or the next but gigas would have to be its own patch to keep the error log clean

is this still intergrated in the latest version?

Yup (i think lol)

I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but just to be sure, has this been integrated into Psionics Tri-Expanded?

IIRC Even when I set the normal to have no normal the orange glow showed up it was just a solid orange then instead of the textured orange glow. I might see if I can find the files and just upload it as is so long as its complete.

I see. I left my two cents in the Reddit post. Texture modding isn't my forte, so it may not help much, but it's worth a shot, at least.

I did not consider that. I could though.

I once attempted to expand the shipsets and species portrait with color based on your current ethics. I even factored in Ethics and Government Rebuild.

But I had an issue with the normal map (I presume) coming through the ships when I did this and I couldnt fix it so I just gave up in frustration.

Here is the link to the reddit post I made at the time on it if you wanna see an example of a ship Way Remove Normal Glow? . As you can see from the side it was supposed to be green instead of the normal Psi Re-Expanded color.

Have you considered making your own psionic shipset mod independent of Psionics Re-Expanded?

Doesn't seem to work. Built the megastructures and have had them spawn in, no ghost-megas

Because the launcher is stupid. The mod works with 2.3.3

apparently doesn't support 2.3.3 only 2.2*. At least that's what it said when i went to enable it.

hot

This does work with Psionics Re-Expanded: Reborn

I hope they didnt change much. I'll see what I can do in couple days or so

That's probably what he wants, yeah. I sure do!

So wanting a mod that adds this to that I take it

And very useful for me thank you

Oh well okay then eather way it wasn't a bad experience just intresting and unexpected.

I let the author know about the issue and it turns out was an accidental overwrite of the ship_mask.dds file and it would be fixed with the next update

That was actually my second guess as to what might be causing the problem.

So you the issue is coming from ( Twinks Playable Fallen Empire 2.0 )

Luckily not so bright when bloom is turned off.
Having been looking at it its not perfect. My main issue with the regular like glowing normal still happens but maybe this way it will look better *Shrug*


Ive removed a number of mods, I'll let you know when I track down what mod is causing it specifically

Yeah I forgot to worn you that some of the objects can be as bright as a star or even brighter, especially when it comes to the larger mega structures.

I didn't have the problem when I had the NSC2 mods and alot of the others so I am not sure myself what could cause it.

I researched all techs and holy wow thats bright. Hopefully I can track this down and work with it

I dont really see anything in that list that should cause such a thing to happen so im not hopeful. It will likely be one of those things that someone else randomly had that would help but I just cant get to work proper like with the Battleplanet.

The only thing that really looks like it would have caused such is the orange unbidden ships from (-NSC2 Addon: Extra Shipsets-)
The issues with that is you would have had to have selected the orange unbidden ships from start and from your picture it looks like you selected humanoid ships, I do not see anything in their files that would effect megastructures as shown in the picture.

My other guess is for some reason one of the mods makes a change to either the ship_mask texture or the "PdxMeshExtraDimensionalShip" shader file info in some way.

Its probably some 7th thing I hadnt even considered though but is always fun to try to solve a problem

Ah okay, yeah I don't know how to make collections yet. I have tried in the past just haven't got it nailed down yet.

Good luck and I hope you find the mod and it helps you out with your plans.

It would be better for me if you put them in a collection but I went with the one easiest for you lol.
Thanks for the list. Hopefully it will.

I subbed to original mod you linked and all its bits and used cheats to get all technologies and nothing really "glew?" as in your picture so I went ahead and asked for the rest

Hope this helps.

I can try but it might take some time, however if it isn't that one if must be one of the other fallen empie mods I got because it did work fine before. I will try to get you the mod list first, however it is rather large so sorry about that part.

@Katana Orcia If you are still subbed to this thread, I would really like to figure out why ur ships are glowing so orange and more importantly if they can be turned another color.

I dont really see anything in the mod you linked that would cause such an effect. Not that ive dived to terribly deep into it yet.

Would it be asking to much for a mod list?
The easiest way (for you not me) would go into your settings file and copy paste the mods listed there and I could just check out each mod individually.

For me on Win10 its "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\settings.txt"
You could open that then just copy and paste the mods in the "last_mods" bits

v Example of what they look like v
"mod/ugc_1504307690.mod"

Oh wow, wonder if that mod has anything that will help my issue v.v

Cute thx

Okay I figured out how to do and post screen shots so here is my Golden Psionics.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198023961898/screenshots/?appid=281990

Oh my picture is of my OC that is kinda a Orca/Lugia or just a Lugia with Orca color patterns with its father. And to be honest I think I made this pic befor Gale of Darkness was released.

Curious but to each their own. Was wondering if it was the normal glow i was having or something else.

Ah geez I keep forgetting how bright those pictures are there lol

Thanks for the fallowup.

Also is your picture a baby shadow lugia from the gc game or is that supposed to be something else?

Unfortunately I can't but I believe I know the mod responsible for this interesting effect, however without testing to actually find out it is just speculation.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1481972266
I believe this is the mod giving the golden glow as some of the structures seam to give off said glow as well.

I have not. I was working on such a mod for such a thing tbh but ive been blocked by a rather "golden glow" of the normal map getting in the way...

Would you mind sharing a screen shot of it?

Just a quick question, have you added different color options to ships and mega structures based on ethics? If not it must be another of my mods doing it because all of my ships, stations, and mega structures have this beautiful golden glow instead of the more blueish purple in your screen shots.

A shame somewhat but less work is less work so im ok with it. Thanks for trying though

You were right, I wasn't able to replicate it.

You should not be able to replicate it. TBH it should not have happend at all considering the issue was reported before I incorporated giga & giga files point it to the normal dyson sphere not the modified one.

but if you do come across anything let me know. Same goes to everyone else who uses this because I got sleepy when finishing this up and its always possible the copy & paste didnt go over well.

Should be mostly fine though enjoy

@Sithalo Damn it, and I just nuked the save file that had it. I'll try to replicate it tomorrow.

@Alex FRD While working on gigastructure compatibility I wasnt able to get either planet craft to show any psionicness. So I wish I knew what error made it work for you even though it wasnt supposed to

Update:
Custom Ecu World's
Humanoid Habitats (just Humanoids for "reasons")
Majority of Gigastructure compatibility outside of habitable structures (for more "reasons")
Compatibility for Superstructures mod

Ah here is this No Turrets mod.

Not fully compatible with Psionics Re-Expanded as the Psi Ships will still have turrets.

When I said "NPC ships", I was talking about the ships of the Unbidden, Fallen, Contingency and Scourge. None of those ships use turrets.

And sorry, but I don't liked of what I saw in your Fixed Turrets mod.

NPC ships have turrets though. Most shipsets do anyway outside of a few.

You might want to try my Fixed Turrets mod. It makes a few turret tweaks to make them more asthetically pleasing.

Because I never liked of how big those turrests are in relation to the rest of the ship. Besides, why our shipsets need ot have use turrets when the NPC ships don't?

Disclaimer, these are not my psionic textures. This is Paradoxs Unbidden shader applied to different models.
Someone could probably make such an offshoot to allow you to start with a "psionic" shipset of your choice.

Such a thing is partially available in Psionics Re-Expanded albiet at a cost and including turrets.

Although why no turrets?

What we really need is an Avian/Moluscoid/Fungoid shipset (and stations!) using your "psionic" texture -- but without turrets.
