You know, family, etc.ĪFAIK this are the original textures, just a little sharpened and with increased contrast, Daemonjax.ĭo you mean with shimmering that appearance that there is no AA? Then yea I have the same issue with it.

Unfortunately, I don't have so much time for it now. There are months of work in it and there is still a lot to improve. It is not really easy to improve the look without a negative impact. Result? Blinking, and big! So back and rework, in the end I allowed myself to adjust only the main texture to keep the power plants from blinking. While moving, the game tried to draw the background behind the individual panels. It looked amazing! But the problem was when you flew away from the solar power plant. Imagine that the solar panels did not look like a disk, but as real panels, each separately connected to each other, as the game wanted to present. What you now see in the latest version of this mode is just a fraction of what I did. It is very difficult to find a compromise between the nicely filed texture and its distant view.įor example, the last time I upgraded solar power plant panels. Texture blinking is one big problem and basically struggles with it from the beginning of development.

Indeed, the negative opinions and bug hunters shifted the development of this mod to this form. But different people have different opinions on what looks good to them, so whatever.Īnd this isn't like Skyrim (texture buffet), where it's easy to just find the right dds file in a mod and tweak it until it looks good - It would be too much work for me to do that just for a few nicer textures over what IEX has, and IEX doesn't have a noticeable texture shimmering issue.īut, hey, in the end you're going to make the mod you want to make and play - it's the only way to do it and have fun.

Other people might not care about texture shimmering - I do, and I think they're crazy. I see this a lot in mods, even popular ones. This is a common problem with graphics mods in all games - either the texture itself is too high res, or the mipmaps are too sharp (usually the former since most people just go with the default filters). However, there's too much texture shimmering going on due to a lot of them being too high resolution. I was hesitant to say anything, because I don't want to piss in anyone's cheerios, but then I thought to myself: 'Hey, if I released a mod, I'd want some honest feedback.' So, here goes:
