the performance is kinda bad when using this mod, are you able to polish it? i like your mod

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

oh my GOOOOOOOOOOD i've been looking for this THANK YOU

Copy that, I've replicated the issue and a solution. Thanks @Zephreo for taking the time to post a solution in the borders only version. Update incoming.

The best galaxy map mod. Sad to see it gone after the latest update.

This mod does not work on the new update, same happens with the thin borders mod from Agami. Is it because of the game or this mod has to be updated ?

It does not work for me anyone knows a more up-to-date mod that will get rid of the glow and the center of the galaxy

bright areas still appear (flares) as white flat bubbles

I thought this would increase performance complete but it did the complete and utter opposite.

@Richard You shouldn't run into any hard, game breaking incompatibilities but other graphics mods that interact with the galaxy shaders will compete, with the last loading likely winning out. If you run into any issues I'd say try and move this down your load order until it works the way you like.

Hey @ArbitorFallen is there any mods not compatible with this mod?

@ArbitorFallen Thank you legend :D

@Virkful

It's been a second since I've looked at the code but that should be an edit in FX/galaxy_nebula.shader. Check this section (lines 129-132):

vColor.r = 0.2f;
vColor.g = 0.25f;
vColor.b = 0.3f;
vColor.a = saturate( vDiffuse.a * 0.2f );

The first three control the RGB color shading and the .a controls the transparency (or alpha, as it's called). Hope that helps!

Needed the names of empires, removed 281990\2688452760\gfx\FX\mapname.shader, issue resolved, thank you this mod rocks, just.... how do I increase the transparency on nebulas?(make it less white)

this mod makes my game lag for some reason

Sure thing! Yeah, I agree, but happy to provide a version that let's people mix and match too :)

Thanks for the answer. Now that I have tried it, I think the version without the names is nicer ^^

You're in luck! Check out the borders only version - it leaves the names on the map and recommends some other graphics mods to replicate features as you prefer.

I like it a lot too, but I think it's a shame that the names of the other empires and the names of the nebulae are no longer visible. But I suppose it can't be done any other way?

Glad to hear it! I've been playing a few games and I like to think it feels like looking strategic display :)

I'm liking it already.

yoooooooooooooo thanks!

Sure thing, here's a version that only does the border changes so you can mix and match as you like:
Clean Galaxy Map - Borders Only

would it be poossible to get a version of this with the coutnry names still on?
