sometimes, i like the skybox shimmering, if you do strictly planet-based gameplay, with atmospheres, it would make it look somewhat realistic

idk just me

thx for your (fast) answer. i was able to "fix" the sun for one position - but only there ... the Sun seems here not to work the same way i am used to ;)

If you're talking about the code, this rotates the skybox not the sun. There's no access to rotate the sun in an arbitrary rotation, it can only be hackily rotated on its predefined axis (the same axis from my comment in 2023).

There's mods that use all the tricks we could find to make the sun sort of look like it's in the world, try those.

hi, i am a bit afraid of quaternions ;) ... if it would be easy and you would have time: what do i need to change, to have the sun always seen "from" 0/0/0 (i moved Earth away already)

First can you test with only this and the skybox mod to ensure it's not some other mod overriding things.
If it still happens can you supply that world with just these 2 mods so I can repro the issue and find a fix.
Also how long until it triggers? If it's too long can you instead show screenshots when it's in sync and when it's not (more of a confirmation that we're both talking about the same things).

any new bugs here, i've tried this with the old homeworld sky boxes and the sin and box de synced

This is awesome definitely a must have. I'm using it with the Space Just Got Real skybox and the small amount of shimmer it creates makes it look like there's twinkling stars, I love it.

This mod is now available as a client mod via Plugin Loader

This is awesome. I'm into astrophotography and it's always bugged me how the skybox doesn't rotate. Throw this on the plugin loader?

Oh ok sweet ty. :)

Mods cannot edit the sun axis AFAIK, you can however set the axis manually in the save file, in SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs there's SunAzimuth and SunElevation. You also need to delete the .sbsB5 file for it to load your edited .sbs.

With this mod does the sun rise in the East and set in the West? If not any way to make that happen or mods out there that already do that?

Nice !

Why have I not seen this before!! 🤩

Client crashing almost never give errors in the DS console, you'll need to look at the client's SE log instead. SE deletes logs after 3 days so you can still find the crash there, I suggest asking in keen's discord at #help-se or #modding-programming works too :P ( https://discord.gg/qycDHwJT )

It works! Love it. Thank you for the ambiance mod! I am on a 3 hr sun timmer and you can barely tell the sky is moving, but it is - I did have a problem where my client only was crashing, but no errors were thrown to the dedicated server console. I had to reboot my PC, sometimes SE needs a whole PC reboot for some reason - I have found. So if your having troubles, this may be it...

Post the log with the crash.

sometimes its crash my load and kill my worlds, cool mod but can't recommend

Oh I know, just poor choice of words in description =)

in real life the stars rotating are not because the earth is orbiting the sun its because the earth is rotating. I think that the Skybox needs to rotate at a different rate than the sun to make it more realistic. still this is better than it not rotating.

Something I never knew I needed but now I seriously can't play without it. Good job!

damn nice bro. skybox shimmering just adds to realism imo.

very good mod. much thx :-)

dont wanna crash our server, but i will figure it our!

I dunno, try it and let me know =)

Is this Nexus compatible?

Nice. Now I am thinking, would it be possible to let the sun move slightly over the sky box day by day, so it would simulate a sidereal year?

Much more immersive than vanilla, thank you so much

this is even more confusing... and even more 'just wrong' feeling...

Shimmering feels less like an issue and more like a boon. It looks so pretty with Hubblegum Skybox.

Oh you clever D***! this is amazing!

I don't understand why this is not in the vanilla game.

I just stumbled across this mod today. Nice! Ty so much for this!

Hmm I tried that rotation speed and I'm not seeing any jumps.
Can you clone the world and remove all other mods to see if it's the world or the mods, and I could use either the world or the mods list after that :P feel free to add me on steam or discord ( Digi#9441 ) about this.

I put it on our server and it works, but the skybox makes little jumps every ~4 seconds. Is it because of the sun rotation speed setting? We have <SunRotationIntervalMinutes>300</SunRotationIntervalMinutes> in the sandboc.sbc, what would you recommend? And what have you people set there?

This mod should be added as native feature! So cool when you just move time via admin panel and sky is rotating especial with high quality skyboxes!

Ooooh if you could make this available in plugin manager (if it already isnt) that would be sick.

That's not because of this mod or any particular mod, it's a generic issue with downloading mods for SE.
There's a pinned post on keen's discord in the #help-for-community-servers-se channel ( https://discord.com/channels/125011928711036928/307489777538826240/991943138090430546 ) that has some workarounds if you have access to the DS's dll files, otherwise you can ask in that channel for other solutions.

Hey man, this one seems great but for some reason my server keeps crashing on startup with it enabled. The error says: exception while loading world: value cannot be null. Parameter name: Path1

Oh just get hired by Keen already, Jesus...

This qualifies for Things I Always Wanted by Never Knew Existed!

Better then the other one I've seen which tries to make the planets orbit the sun. Not going to say how testing that one went.

What in the backward gnalk is this... this.. art O.o

wut, this should be vanilla, why did i never think of this before? :D

Ahahaha
I'm crying

this is awsome, ty!!

This is the wheels on luggage mod... so practical.

Much appreciated.
