In my environment, the following sbc file does not match the contents of the zip file in the MOD folder and has been updated.

Particles_B.sbc 2024/10/19
TransparentMaterials.sbc 2024/10/15
VoxelMaterials_planetary.sbc 2024/10/15
VoxelMaterialsPertam.sbc 2023/9/1

I hope this helps. I hope the MOD will be available again.

@Coffee They've probably updated the vanilla shaders since 2022. If my memory serves me right, I did put zipped vanilla files in a mod folder, so it may be possible to manually diff/patch the updated shaders.

If i overwrite the game files everything works (tried it file by file) until EnvAmbient.hlsli gets overwritten. Then the game tells me to update my grafic drivers and doesn't start anymore.

Am i wrong or did you miss to mention the shaders folder at the end of the game path in your advice for best results (copying the shaders folder overwriting the game files)?

It shoul be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\2615567124\Shaders"

to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Shaders"

Otherwise nothing gets overwritten.

Gave it a try, but it just makes everything so bright you can't see a thing anymore.

I'm playing with Better Stone and Deep Scarce Resource mods, and after installing this mod, I noticed that all the ore around the world had regenerated. I was shocked and confused, thinking to myself, "What the heck?" This doesn't seem right.

@vincent-rayne This mod is not about realistic looks. Feel free to tweak Environment.sbc values to your liking, reuploads are welcome )

Like the style of this mod.
One question though: could we get a second version that makes nighttime and space a little bit darker? Especially in space the shadow sides of asteroids and planets are looking unrealistically bright

You could see sun on dark side of mars and alien, this needs some work

@Selphadur Try creating a new world, medium graphics settings, no other mods. Don't forget to overwrite vanilla shaders. Also feel free to take the skybox dds and upload it as a separate mod.

Would love to have skybox only version.

Great mod, but lately it is too bright, meaning that fake light around character makes everything too bright and too shiny, even at daylight!

yes, works without in a new world, i had 'buildinfo' , 'paint gun' and 'eyes just got clear' on the previous world, I'm guessing the latter mod was conflicting with yours

Maybe a mod conflict. Try creating a new world, medium graphics settings.

i loaded this to an existing world and my screen is just black, anyone else having this problem?

got in the game and got out the cryopod and there it was dawn it was a beautiful sight to see
