No same thing happened to me, which is why I am here to see if it was a known issue. Basically just showed a blank screen, but I could hear myself moving around and had Block screens on my HUD*^ Not sure what caused this to disrupt

@reaperx1911 define “not working”??
you have used empty world creative?

ummm strange i just created a new empty world save with this and the required mod nothing else and it is not working.

Is there any command to toggle the skybox to something darker? Sometimes I want to adjust lighting in my designs and it's more difficult.

because the effect outside is achieved by turning up the ambient light. that still needs to reach wherever you are

Why doesn't this work on the inside of my ships? on the outside it works great but inside ships i get the usual darkness if there's no lights

I think I have just figured out why i had a black screen with the HUD elements in one of my worlds despite clearing shadercache files. "The skybox does not work on / near planets as this mod replaces the sun with ambient light. On planets / in their vicinity, this ambient light is disabled in favour of separate planet-based settings. However, there is no ambient light equivalent on planets. The result is total darkness."

no

did this stop working a few days ago?

@enenra
In regards to @tada, you're both correct, due to SE fuckery. Let me explain what they were trying to tell you:

Basically, the Z axis in SE for positioning is flipped compared to the Z axis in the Skybox format. That means that in the skybox the current +Z direction is actually -Z in terms of position. (Ex. if I had two GPS, one at (10,10,10) and one at (10,10,15), the second GPS would actually move AWAY from the Skybox's +Z and TOWARDS it's negative one.

Hope that makes more sense! It would be great if you fixed it by flipping the symbols on the Z's), but no worries if not.

Via a patch mod probably yes.

Is there an easy way to increase the ambient light value?

This didn't work on my smart fridge running SE on a Linux kernel with DX 9

No, they are not.
This is based on the SE skybox format though, which has a decent chance of being nonstandard.

+Z and -Z are flipped

The issue with planets id the lighting changes, not the sky ox itself. And no, there is no way to toggle it, hence the note about it not working near planets in the mod description.

Is there a way to toggle the box on/off? Its super usefull in space! but once you get to a planet you're reduced to a blind ape

Nope, the mod is fine. There would be a lot more people than just you complaining otherwise and I just tested it. :)

You either have an incompatibility with another mod or it's the classic broken download. I can't do anything about either issue unfortunately. Try unsubscribing and resubscribing to fix the broken download issue.

mod needs a update it just errors my world in creative when trying to add the 2 mods

It's possible but only to a certain degree. Even pure white turns into a darker grey once ingame depending on the lighting. I have no plans for it personally though.

Out of curiosity Enenra, would a lighter background colour be a possible alternate skybox mod? Something that's more of a light grey to white? I only ask this because I build in a lot of dark colours and I have a habit of losing ships while I'm working on them, and having a light background would probably help me find things again.

Will play the game and recreate what I did and if it crash past it in the proper section for you to check out..

Without the log it's going to be hard to say what the cause was. Does this happen with just this and no other mods installed?

i found a issue here (i did glance ovre the post here to see if someone ask this but might have miss it if it did sorry).
premis: i made a large grid mining ship then i use the voxel hand to make a sphere a stone and with a minaral core to see if it was going to do as intednded but as soon as i start mining the game crash twice, both was when i started to mine so i wonder was that on purpose??

I would recommend reading the mod page above, which explains why this happens.

there is a glitch that made my textures black, maybe is something with AMD drivers. I have a RX 550

I've just done a little planet hopping: Earthlike, Triton and Pertam are dark, but everything else is lit fine. I'd say may it's breathable atmospheres, but I don't think triton is breathable in any situation.

It likely affects any planet with an atmosphere. Moons may be fine, but I wouldn't count on it.

Isn't just the lighting on Earthlike & Triton? Every one of the other planets and moons seems to work?

thank you, figured out the problem

I would recommend reading the mod page above, which explains why this happens.

@roomba of doomba same problem here on a dedicated server, black screen

@enenra ​ Thank you for reply and permission! I published the mod just now. If there are any problems with it please tell me.
Mod link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2962091516

encountered a problem using this mod, i load into a world with it and my entire view is completely dark. lights dont work, everythings just black

That looks fairly different than my version. Sure, the lighting is set up similarly / the same but I don't think it's an issue since those are just some XML lines.
Go ahead and upload it to the WS. :-)

Hello. I like your skybox and have recently been using it arranged myself like this: https://imgur.com/a/sgVpCck
I would like to ask you whether or not I may publish this arranged skybox to the workshop. The reason I want to publish this is because someone who saw the arranged skybox on social media earlier messaged, "I want to use it too!".
I make this request with the full understanding that it could be perceived by you as an act of arrogance that tramples on the author's efforts. If when I publish this, I will clearly mention your original one and your name as its original author in the credits.
Or you may choose to publish it yourself instead of me. (I can send you the skybox data.)
Naturally, I will leave all decisions up to you. Sorry for the long post.

oooh coool

Hi
It's my own design, loosely based on the Roccinante. It's not finished yet but I'll probably upload it once it is.

hey i was wondering where did you get that ship from the thumbnail and could i get a link perhaps?

Yes, as specified in the notes directly above the comment section the skybox does not work near planets and exhibits exactly those symptoms. :-)

After extensive research through all my mods i found hat this one was causing a problem where i cannot see the world and its just a black screen. all physics and that work and you can still move ships and see the hud but you cant see a thing

Not yet, still working on it.

That ship you have in the picture, is there a blueprint for it?

The issue was "Space Just Got Real" as a plugin instead of a mod messing up the load order.

It is actually an issue with Plugin Loader despite not having anything skybox-related enabled, getting support for that now

@Senti try it with only this mod installed to your savegame (and no plugins either). You're most likely running into a mod conflict if it doesn't look like the screenshots.

Is this supposed to essentially be full bright? Testing in a new Creative world with only this as a mod but building is still dark

no

is there a on and off button

i wish there was a way to make it planet-compatible. its neat but my creative world i build both on and off planets so i need them.

ive used other skybox/sun mods that dont have issues with them, so its gotta be possible
