As of the latest update, the image still works, but the music is the starting music for Machine Age. Anyone know how to fix?

Still working on my 3.13 game. My favorite opening screen. Thanks.

Still works as of this post. Beautiful start of game and the music is great.

cool

I probably jumped the gun and assumed the description to this didnt have any important differences from the "fixed" fork, I'll grab that other version ty

@Ser Aaron, if you read the description you will see that that was not a bug but a feature~

This still messes with the music player - nemesis main theme is now "creation and beyond"

@kevski_23 It was my pleasure to provide the fixed version until you updated this one. My fixed version is now hidden and people can use the original one here. Thank you for your work and for updating the best Main Menu on the workshop.

I fixed the mod if anyone is still interested! Apologies it slipped by me that Stellaris had an update that changed the main menu background. If anyone wants to stay subscribed to REM's version feel free, but for those others this version should now work again! (and also immediately replace any other DLC main menu background)

@kevski_23

3.4 patch broke the mod. It now replaces only the menu music, but not the menu image.

Fixed Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808581473

I will remove this fixed version as soon kevski_23 fix the orginal one OR ask me to remove it.

yes! why they stop change texstur menu on worst main menu texstur ? i dont know but i love this !

@Aewin Do you mean a separate version for Ultra wide monitors? I would not know how to make a patch for this one. You will have to message me (could also be a PM) with what you would need and I will see if I can make some time for it~

Thanks for this! looks amazing!
I have a 32:9 Super ultra wide monitor. Is there any chance we could get a compatibility patch for that?

Thanks @kevski_23 !

absolute champion

@Ocelot @MrFunEGUY I fixed the little artifacts. They should be cleaned up now!

@Siniganggang @Geranelm I edited my files to create a static image that could be used as a desktop background, I added it to the description!

can we have a download of the image only without you know the stellaris menu covering it? It looks really cool and I want to use it as my wallpaper or smth lol

there seems to be some glitchy green thing on the center of the top right, on the halo itself. despite this i'm gonna keep it because this is the best choice even after this, but a fix is advisable

Easily the best stellaris background i've seen, the subtle animation makes it even more perfect. This is defs staying in my lo

Love it, plus it is achievement compatible.

So far I love this mod, just because megastructures tend to be what the game is about much later on.

Off topic a bit, is there by any chance a way to have this as a computer background? I absolutely love it.

@MrFunEGUY Thank you for pointing it out, now that I know where they are I can remove them without much trouble. I will do so asap.

I will also look into what @Cyberwolf proposed and see if I can make a Halo music version.

@kevski, Just letting you know there are some artifacts left over in the image:

I've cleaned this up already for myself, and I can send you cleaned up file if you want so you can just upload it here.

Halo 3 or 1 could work

Thanks for the fix.

@peter_de123 I see what you mean. Though I am afraid that I will not really be able to help you with those very large resolution sizes, as the source images I am using are simply not that big (That includes the original Stellaris background for example). So I can scale them up but that would not increase the quality of the picture.

@Cyberwolf did you have any specific Halo game in mind? I could take a look to make such a version :p

Hi,

thank you for your work. Doubling the resolution definitely helped. I've put three Screenshot online, one in 2560 x 1440, one in 3840 x 1080 and one in 5120 x 1440.

If you click one of the widescreen pictures and then click it again,it opens in a new tab. Then, click AGAIN to get it magnified to original resolution. That's the actual picture I get.

Someone should make a verdion where its one of the Halos main menu Music

And it seems that many people love the background as a Halo reference! That wasn't really what I had in mind when I created this but I see that the image looks more like a Bishop Ring (the type of orbital habitat the Halo series is inspired by) and not the ringworlds used in Stellaris (or described in Larry Niven's Ringworld).

I am happy as long as people like it! And yes, I was blinded ;)

@Dryus Thanks for the headsup, I updated it again! I also understand what you mean, having a variety of main menu screen could be cool but that would be totally different from how paradox set it up and I have no idea how to do that. I just copied and tweaked what I found...

@peter_de123 I enlarged the image resolution 4 times, I loaded it up and it works but I did not notice much difference in resolution. It looked sharper, but I think it was just me expecting it to look sharper. Let me know if it looks better!

Hi, thanks for making this Mod. Is there a way to increase the resolution of the image? I have a 32:9 Monitor with 5120x1440 resolution and already reported a bug to Paradox because the even LOWERED the res of the nemesis main menu to 1536 x 1981 ...

"Yet the humans were able to evade your ships, land on the Sacred Ring, and desecrate it with their filthy footsteps!"

Hi, thanks for the update.
But the file name is wrong.

##OLD:
animation = {
name = "nemesis_background_idle_animation"
file = "nemesis_background_idle.anim"
}

##NEW:
animation = {
name = "nemesis_frontend_idle_animation"
file = "nemesis_frontend_idle.anim"
}


I thought it would be interesting if I could switch the title screen at random, but it was impossible for me.

Pretty...

Very nice, thank you!

Dumbstruck?

No!

Could you make a version of this mod, which only changes the music back, but leaves the Nemesis background? Kind of the other way around as somebody suggested.
The ringworld background looks cool, but I like the Nemesys one better.

'Blinded..?'

When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?

"Megastructure" hahaha shhhh its definitely not a Halo

@Dryus I think I managed to find what changes you made and applied them to the mod. Hopefully they have now been resolved, if you could let me know that would be great! I am still learning how PDX references all their files~

Hello. For now, the error log is gone.

##OLD:
attach = { loc = "frontend_background_attached_entity" }
##NEW:
attach = { loc = "frontend_background_attached_entity2" }

##OLD:
name = "frontend_background_attached_entity"
##NEW:
name = "frontend_background_attached_entity2"


Added at the end.

animation = {
name = "nemesis_frontend_idle_animation"
file = "nemesis_frontend_idle.anim"
}

@TheBigE I made a version that does not change the main menu music and keeps the Nemesis theme. It is unlisted but you can find it here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2467604763

I also updated the description of the mod with the link in case others would prefer that version as well!

@Dryus Are those errors very problematic? Looking at them I have an inclination what could have caused them but under the circumstances I do not know how to fix them. I hope they didn't break your game.

I don't know what kind of impact this will have, but I'm reporting the error log.

[16:17:28][pdxmeshtype.cpp:821]: Failed to find animation: "nemesis_frontend_idle_animation"... Make sure it is declared in a .asset file.
[16:17:34][pdx_entity.cpp:2574]: Duplicate of frontend_background_attached_entity added to entity system

I love the Main Menu background, but I honestly enjoy the Nemesis theme music that came with the update. Could we have a version of this with just the new Main Menu background?

Salvation for all!

That's a Halo reference? Like it
