This mod has now been replaced by - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3228447902

Most of the 5 star mods are assets. Why isn't this mod 6 stars to be visible?

Thumbs up for the awesome mod and awesome game too, I love Automation.

This mod and UI are absolutely awesome. My question is : has this mod in tree config a script for small tree?

That's fine, I hope you can do it @Daffyflyer
Anyway, I've been enjoying the new colours, I think only the pedestrian asphalt pass is missing, it makes it a little offputting with the darker gravel paths, but otherwise great stuff.

From another post I read.....

...\Steam\steamapps\common\SovietRepublic\media_soviet\weathers\day1.ini

Change $SUNSPECULAR to:
$SUNSPECULAR 0.9305566 0.930556 0.930556 1.000000

helps with the snow glare.

It really is too much in the winter to be considered comfortable.

@gfurst - Somewhat possible, but difficult, as winter doesn't actually have it's own lighting/post proccess settings, so would come at the cost of making clear summer days darker too. That might be OK though! I don't think the snow textures themselves are editable, but I'll look into it sometime.

This looks pretty good, always wanted a little bit brighter nights, so I'll try it out.
One thing though, something that bothers me the most is she flashy white winter, I know how its supposed to look but just hurts my eyes at that time.
Maybe its possible to make the snow a little bit darker, like how its supposed to be mixed with dirt and grass, grittier sort of, so it isn't that overpowering white?

@vladimiroleshenko - Yeah, the game forces that pixelated sun ot be there and I can't get rid of it as far as I know sadly!

That´s the game sun, i guess.

hi! I really appreciate you mod - light, colours and beautiful susets.

but a Sun itself - is a mess! It is a large pixelated blob that ruin all the immersion.
Furthermore - it is 2 Suns in the sky during sunsets and at dawn.
does anyone have this or it's only me?

Or maybe it's only a temporary problem that you aware of and planed to fix?

@Chappie - Hmmm, that's even more bizzare... I'll keep trying to replicate it at my end!

Magnificent work, thank you so very much for sharing :)

@Chappie - Are you on the beta/test branch? I'm beginning to suspect that might be the problem.. As I developed it on that branch (possibly foolishly)

I can confirm that. With the current beta it works.

Crashes resolved!

Go to Properties - Betas - select Test (Beta branch)

This works!

Weird. That's how I did it too. It doesn't work for me in v0.8.8.2. As soon as a map loads, the game crashes. Without this mod it works. I'm not using any other mods at the moment.

That´s how i did it.

I mean the usual way to install it is just to drop everything in the Media_Soviet folder from my mod into your Media_Soviet folder, and it should just overwrite anything that I've updated.

@gax How did you install it? Do I have to go to every folder to replace files?

Beta here and no crash vwhatsoever.

@Daffyflyer Just take your time, mate! Hope it'll work

I'm testing it in beta branch :(

oh so it shouldn't work in beta due to the new UI stuff that have been added ?

Not sure if those crashes could in some way be related to the beta branch..? Since I removed this my game became very stable again.

Hmmm, not sure what to suggest for those crashes, I just tried a fresh SR install and fresh install of this mod and it's working at my end.. All I can really suggest is trying a fresh install of both the game and mod, making sure you delete the mod's folder in your steam workshop directory

getting instant crash on loading :( any fixes ?

Did everything by instructions but I get instant crash... Any ideas what's wrong?

Looking good, thanks for sharing..

Shouldn't you note..

Editor
Grass
Paths
Tiles_Normal
Trees
Weathers

....as the folders from the vanilla game to back up, in total...?

How are quarries going on, just curious...?

why i cant see this in a main page ?

with this graphic mod it looks realistic as can and 0 fog it looks so better and so beautiful thank you.

@Daffyflyer Thank you very much for your help.

@Pingu's Revenge - Let me know if I need to link to a new one!

By the way, since the update I made a new texture mod.

The old one still works but the street lines for one-way streets are incorrect & look funny.
The gravel road & streets themselves are fine.

I have the extra not overwritten because not everyone uses the beta & then my current mod would be faulty :D

@halla351 - Go into the weathers folder, there you'll find ini files for each time of day/weather (e.g day1.ini)

You can either turn down the lights (the first 3 sets of numbers after $SUNDIFFUSE,$SUNSPECULAR, $SUNAMBIENT are Red Green Blue values for the lights) or you can change $CUSTOMFLOAT POST_Brightness, though that's already 0, so you might have to see if negative values work there.

How do I go into the files and turn the brightness down?

Great mod loving it. Is it possible to add in this pack more natural blue looking water?

@HejkaNaklejka! Yay, glad that fixed it!

Sadly while Id love to add fog for snowfall, there seems to be no seperate weather settings for snowfall

@Daffyflyer After checking the integrity of the files and reinstalling the mod, I was able to fix the problem. mod looks great.

My suggestion is to add thick fog during snowfall

Nice, the graphic is crystal clear now.

I can only assume that you might have messed something up when renaming things yeah, it's easy to do!

@Daffyflyer GeForce GTX 1060 3Gb

All graphics settings to the max, I also checked lower settings and nothing changed for the better.

Is there a chance that the problem arose because I renamed the original files with "backup" and then uploaded your files. It's possible that "backup" may not be in the same folder as the original files...
But unfortunately I won't check it, because the game loads for me about 40 minutes.

@HejkaNaklejka! - That's strange, what graphics card are you using, and what sort of graphics settings? Maybe I need to test lower settings and see what they do..

I have a problem (latest beta with garbage)
- The sky is black
- No clouds
- When I look up (towards the sky, everything turns bright white)
- road demolition causes "black hole" instead of ground texture
- no puddles when it rains
I don't know what the problem is..

@the Ministry, @Skaens, @Agoosha - Thank you! :)

Absolutely love all of your mods! You changed game for me forever

This mod is great! The vanilla textures never looked that great, but this changes it all, thank you.

I have been waiting for the full release before i change textures and things like that. But damn this is tempting. I saw your UI skin and thought it was cool. I was thinking a Win98 theme would be cool for the ingame 90s and 2000s.

True, tho the quickest way is just to delete the folders and it redownloads the original when you launch the game.

Fair enough.
Updating this mod would only have been required if the core mod itself needed to change. Subbing to the others would still be desirable.
But point taken.

I was going to suggest including a folder in the compressed file that contained the vanilla files changed. But that would increase the download size.

Hopefully people will read the point you make about backing up the original game files 👍
