Incase anyone wants a version of this that keeps the blue colour but still removes the other things, plus some other tweaks:

kk ty :-P since freelancer had that and clear shields atleast the modded games,so with clear shields i wanted such reaction. thanks alot for answering this question m8 :-P

@strife I think there is a bit of a flicker when it gets hit, but it's nothing detailed like rippling pond

does the shield react to damage i mean visually ? like if hit the shields react as if something hit it like a drop of water in a pond if you will :-P

This is working fine for my on my community server clients with the following client side only mods:
https://stonelegion.com/avorion-dedicated-pve-vanilla-server-online/

anyone know if this is still working? still cant get it to work.

Tested with the latest version of Avorion (as of 6/15/2022) and the Shieldly mod is still working.

does this still work?

Haha! It is about time to dust off the avorion server and try out the new build

this is your little pop up saying you havent played avorion recently enough, and you should get back into it, even if only for a day, or one play through at least.. gl :)

seems to works atm, really gr8 no more ugly boxes.

It should be compatible with 2.0 unless they changed the way shaders work... I haven't fired up Avorion in ages.

Is this compatible with 2.0?

@MachoNatchoMan, this is a client-side mod, you would have to add it to the "allowed mods" list on the server

- or - if you don't want to mess with the server at all, just pull up darkconsole's original forum post and install the mod manually (it's just copying a single file). Then you don't have to deal with the server at all.

But if there is a possibility of other people using this version of the mod, then adding it to the allowed mods list would be the better option.

does this have to be loaded serverside? or can it be loaded just clientside?
i wanna have it but don't want to force it on my players so i just wanna add it to the "allowed mods" :p

@TashunkaSapa: If I recall, the way it works is that you subscribe to the mod, then steam will download the mod. Once it's been downloaded, you can launch the game, and will find it under Main Menu > Settings > Mods

I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but how do I use this mod?

I tested this again with the latest Avorion version to make sure that it still works and uploaded it with an edited modinfo.lua file to unrestrict the game version.

@darkconsole, I'll try to keep an eye on the shader modding support. If they do fix that and you upload an official port just let me know and I'll take this one down. I don't want to be stepping on your toes for the work that you put into the game, we all greatly appreciate it!

im waiting for the devs to fix modding shaders to do an actual official port of this to workshop (i am darkconsole) - because this mod includes the version file and that is technically bad.

It would appear that this mod prevents people from joining each other in servers. I can only assume because it's listed as outdated. Any chance for an update?

This is so good, those polygons had to go

I love it !
