I wish Keen would stop breaking these mods. :(

I'm going to be so confused for the next few months... I could have sworn that Moh's comment was from last year, meaning it took ages for you to respond. Then I looked at the date for the previous comment, and wondered how such an old comment got moved above the new one.
Then I realized we passed new year.
This will be fun.
On the more relevant side of things, I'm looking forward to seeing this mod fixed!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be back home in a week and then i can take a look at it.

The fix for mod textures looks to have partly resolved some of the issues from before.

Spotlights still have the issues mentioned before: The ambient cone and glare effects appear as transparent planes of colour - either bright pink in the case of uncoloured lights, or the same colour as custom colours established for the spotlights. This is affecting both Small and Large spotlights at last test.

The other effects altered by this mod appear to be working as intended.

Yeah that sounds like some issue with the modding in general. Lets hope that it solves itself any time soon. If not, i may look into it in a month when the dev content went to stable. Until then i wont have time to fix it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Love the mod, especially this complation version. As of the latest dev build, there appear to be some issues with the replaced/removed glare and so forth - so now it all shows up as large pink/purple transparent boxes. It may be part of a current issue with mod textures for the dev build, but I figured I'd send a heads up, just in case.

Thx for that Shader Mod.

Well mine is empty all the time and i know who to blame ... _

if my bank account is empty now i know who to blame for

It is a mod. It just aint one on the workshop because that doesnt work due to the games modding limitations for workshop items. That however is good because the shader get compiled and ran from source and could open all kinds of security risks. So always check that kind of code :)

ahh THX for that link below , works fine you should make a mod for that

Alright i fiddled with the current shaders a bit and got new darkness working for anyone interested.

why have you made this? do you want to make space engienners to something like a horrorgame?

Well there are shader mods. Those can make everything darker, reduce or remove the ambient lights and and and...

Especially the bottom section :)

man... only if someone made a pair of mods to go wiht this.. lets say i already have a skybox i like.... id sure be nice ot haev 1 mod that would killed all ambeint light... and another mod that just made an existing skybox darker (but not pitch black)

This isn't your average everyday darkness. This is...
Advanced Darkness!

I kitted out my latest ship for dark servers. Running lights, indicators, primary and secondary lights, edge definition.. I must have used nearly 500 lights. I eventually reduced it to closer to 250, but that was just an aesthetic choice. It ran fine.

He so my initial guess (written down in another comment) was right. When using an amount exceeding hundreds, you will notice it due to the lack of texture overlays.

I am glad to hear a confirmation on that, thanks :)

I have had a look and it certainly seems to make it easier on your processor if you use an enormous amount of lights, because it is removing half the lighting effect.

From the comments others made, this doesnt yield in a noticeable performance boost.
Replacing a few textures sure wont have a huge impact on it too, unless you go into high numbers of texture interactions and overlays.

Does any of this provide any kind of performance improvements? If so have you done any kind of basic benchmarking?
