amazing.bro.

This is so freaking cool!

Oh, i didnt actually know that! Cool! Yea, not that you say this, im not sure the lights would do anything

Either way i'd like to request that turning off the engine turns off the entire speed indicator not just the speed number and the bar inside it

I would actually prefer the other way around: there's already a way to dynamically change the speed, that being holding left click on the shaft and dragging upwards or downwards.
I could still make the lights set a certain speed when clicked but I'm afraid that would be too obscure to figure out for the user...

I could make the lights reflect certain speed thresholds (like 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 %) and light up when the current speed is greater than the corresponding threshold, but I'm still not sure whether that would actually add value to the whole experience or not.

Still giving all this some thought.

I just realised that i forgot about the speed indicator right in the front, so not sure how necessary it is for them to show the speed setting is. Either way they could serve as buttons to select speed

Actually the migration to m/s was way easier than I anticipated (given a few numbers as reference), so I pushed it right away.
Will see what I can do about the lights.

@Flytrap that could be achievable, the m/s unit was what I originally had in mind but ultimately scrapped it (can't remember why, it's been 3 years lmao), will try to find some reference and try to migrate to m/s.

The side lights as speed presets are a nice idea tho! I'll see what I can do, but I haven't been using WE as an editor for 3 years now ^^'

Follow-up to the idea of space speed:

Use meters / second because thats more commonly used, and set a number between like 5 and 10 thousand.

Also, you have five nice lights on the left, maybe repurpose them for speed presets? One button lit up goes slowest all 5 lit up goes fastest? And then just think about 5 speed settings for each button, ideally spaced out evenly so only one button being on is like 20% speed

This is really cool but could you make it so turning the engines off turned the speed indicator off too and not just the number?

I'd be happy to help out however I can! I've sent a friend request, feel free to hit me up whenever - even if it says I'm offline.

@Thom Foolery I'm sorry to tell you this, but I honestly have zero idea about what a reasonable speed value could be like. This wallpaper was never meant to be super realistic to begin with, but if I'm able to make some tweaks to make everything feel better... Please enlighten me! ^^'

If you're willing to help me in making this wallpaper even better feel free to contact me via direct message here on Steam!

Very cool wallpaper! Reminds me of old space games like Descent and Wing Commander. I'm using it as a screensaver.

I have one minor thing to bring up: the speed display is not very realistic - maybe you could add some options for the label (meters/second, km/second, etc; maybe a scale slider to adjust the speed itself?) For example, low earth orbit in real life is around 7,000 m/s (which is about 28,000 km/h)!

awesome

Pretty dang cool.

Pondruk, Couldnt you just make that is you click on the window it shoots? i really like this walpaper and it is really cool.

sick ass fuckk

@zuth10 yes absolutely, and a credit would be much apreciated ^^

Would I be ok in using this on a Live stream on Twitch? Should I put you in the Credits?

xX-BiRRALiGHt-Xx it is merely an aesthetic label at the moment, shooting was planned but ultimately abandoned as in idea as I still don't have a clue about how I could make that work decently

Hi! Thank you for this wallpaper. It is really awesome!. I wanted to ask something a bit dumb but I will ask it anyways. In the top left corner, there is a label that shows 'Weapons: Online". This turns 'Offline' when you deactivate the mouse aim next to joystick. That label means is there a way to shoot? If it is so, what are the keys or shortcuts to perform that action?

that's so cool !!!!

i like this , i love space and stuff like this . you have so much options in the setting HOLY COW

Cool

wtf,this is cool~~~

wow thats an awesome wallpaper

I wanted to take a moment to THANK ALL OF YOU who downloaded, favored or shared this wallpaperr. Seeing all these positive comments really does put a smile on my face, I'm just so happy that so many people liked my work! Love y'all!

WOW O_O

@Pondruk Thank youu!!

@Kaptain Komodo @Amazo Update is out, sorry for the wait, you can now select 12 h format and set the camera shake intensity to higher values! Hope you like it!

@Pondruk Thanks!

@Amazo Oh right, there should be actually, I'll check and roll an update

Is there a way to change the time on the dashboard from 24hr to an AM/PM clock?

@TehKaoZ nnnnope, it wouldn't be as easy as it could seem because some images are not avaliable in largers resolutions. Details on this wallpaper already look borderline acceptable, pumping up the resolution would cause severe eye bleeding unfortunately >.<

Fun fact: I originally started this project on 4k resolution, had to downscale to FHD because too many resources were being taken (yes, even with optimizations)

Probably the most options I've seen in a wallpaper ever. Do you plan on doing versions at higher resolutions?

Kaptain Komodo The parallax effect I use is basically pre-defined and built in the engine, and it is mouse-dependant. I could try to replicate it, and at that point I'd be able to use it without the mouse position. This would NOT be an easy task though.

Technically I could do what you said, but you'd discover that wallpapers made with videos are heavier than 3d rendered scenes ^^'

One thing you could do in the meantime is set the spaceship speed to lower values and pump up the camera shake itnensity to the max (I'll roll an update to let it be higher than just 0.5 so it will be noticeable): this will make the wallpaper move around slowly, achieving a similar effect to what you're looking for.

@Pondruk Dude, I wasn't even really expecting an answer much less an attempt. I was wondering if it couldn't be even simpler than that, though? Like say you screencap the thing doing what it does, put it on a repeat and then upload?

Main thing is I don't know what you see or get the option to do in Wallpaper Engine. Would it allow for technically just an animated video? Or is that somehow disallowed with the way its been programmed?

Kaptain Komodo the ship movement is purely based on parallax, so I'd have to completely rework it... I could give it a try, I have a few things in mind to make it work, but it won't be easy and I don't know if I'll be able to accomplish it >.<

This background is fucking awesome.

I was wondering if you could make a preset where the ship will occasionally move on it's own rather than with the mouse cursor? I wanted it in a screensaver rotation about Space and thought it'd look cool if was able to do that.

Faux Enix as far as I know you're the first to report me this issue, and I have no idea about why that would happen either: the interactables are literally "an area this wide and this tall that take a mouse click as an input" and the code they execute is started and finished in a matter of milliseconds, there are no "continuous actions" taken here. Yep, not even the music or the radio.

My only bet here is that Wallpaper Engine itself is acting weird: try replicating this issue with another interactive wallpaper, or check your settings for the app's behaviour with maximized and full-screen windows. Shall you still have issues feel free to contact me via private message and I'll do my best to help you out!

This wallpaper is absolutely incredible but I have a small problem. Sometimes, when I've had a window open for a long time, when I minimise it and go back to desktop, this wallpaper will sort of stop responding. The view will move according to where my mouse moves like normal, but none of the buttons are clickable, so I can't make use of half or more of the neat features. I can fix this by opening up Wallpaper Engine, switching to a different wallpaper, then switching back to this one, or alternatively, restarting my PC, or putting it to sleep then waking it back up, causes the wallpaper to reset and become responsive again. Any idea how to fix this or what the issue is?

OMG! This is awesome! I can't believe wallpaper engine can do this .

THE BEST WALLPAPER EVER

cool~

AWESOME DUDEEE

this wallpaper is SO dang cool! I hope to see more like it

really cool

so much customisable stuff man this is so cool

DUDE HOW. This is so epic

make an elite dangerous wall paper
