reeeeally need this...-

This seems to have stopped working with the 2.8 update. Plans to fix? Ok to fork if I can figure out how to fix it?

Anyone got a mod like this for individual suns?
Every space battle ends up near a planets sun and trying to watch a battle gets irritating with blinding sunlight....

Thanks Minoris for info

Inaccessible cause it would swallow any ship that strays too close.

and where is the super massive black hole in the center?
Phil Jun 5, 2019 @ 9:49am 
It's working for 2.3 just fine as is.
Syfe Jun 4, 2019 @ 5:57pm 
Please update for 2.3

Thanks.

I can confirm that this mod totally removes the core of the galaxy. Problem comes from the center.dds file, which is just a black square instead of a proper new texture. Until this file is fixed, there won't be no core for anyone using this mod.
肉包子 Feb 9, 2019 @ 9:48pm 
emmmm....It's not dimmer core mod's nor multicoloured galaxy texture mod's problem.Paradox just didn't expect there'll be stars in the core and left the bug...:steamfacepalm: Seems we need sentry arrays for everyone.:steamhappy:
肉包子 Feb 9, 2019 @ 9:26pm 
Found the "dark fog core" problem too after changed to 2.2.4. The "survey"command , "observe" command and the sentry array open the view properly, while the science ships can't clear up the dark fog that covers the core after surveying it.
Nimrod Jan 26, 2019 @ 8:19am 
there's no core at the center, that's it.
Alizia Jan 25, 2019 @ 4:24pm 
When cheking mods before starting a game with "observe" command, all its working fine. But in game when I discovered the core stars there is a completely dark "fog"
ButtJunkie  [author] Jan 25, 2019 @ 1:17pm 
Do you mean it's dark, or there are no stars there? Because this is supposed to just tone down the brightness of the galaxy texture.
Alizia Jan 20, 2019 @ 1:50pm 
Same here, no core
Nimrod Dec 28, 2018 @ 7:54am 
well, the core has disappeared..
Rastro Dec 9, 2018 @ 8:11am 
@Vaeringjar
The last update for that one was a year and a half ago, I think it's safe to call it dead and buried.
ButtJunkie  [author] Dec 9, 2018 @ 6:08am 
Never used it. But it looks like it was released and never updated.
Trickity Nov 7, 2018 @ 6:28am 
Hey I think this mod makes L gate regions super dark with no team colors. :( not a huge bug but I was super confused why I had no visible territory when I captured it.
ZirconX Jun 4, 2018 @ 10:16pm 
Is there any way to make it even dimmer? This mod helps but I still find the core of my galaxies way too bright and blinding.
Hereward May 13, 2018 @ 1:47pm 
Hi, I wrote a mod, Galaxy Cores , and I was advising people to use your Dimmer Core. I've also been using one of your galaxy textures in my own games.

I have just updated my mod with an improved method of dimming the core by removing a shader (go look in the FX folder) as well as the center.dds. As a consequence I was able to dim the vanilla background core to achive a greater dimming.

So, to be able to use your galaxy texture I had to dim it's core also and create a patch for my mod. I did this with all three of your textures. Full credits have been given, with links back to your textures. Please feel free to assimilate the shader modification.

Confirming the blacked out core on 2.0.4
|dvh| Apr 11, 2018 @ 10:18am 
Can confirm that bug is effecting me also.
Dr Zhivago Mar 28, 2018 @ 12:49am 
@Marinho I noticed that too. It started happening to me on the new 2.0.2 beta. After a while it will randomly become colored again. I'm not sure what sets it off. I think it has to do with an empire claim land within the center.
Marinho Mar 27, 2018 @ 12:47am 
Hmm for some reason the core of the Galaxy is Black even when I suvey the Systems.
Rastro Mar 20, 2018 @ 4:47am 
Helps your eyesight though
ButtJunkie  [author] Mar 19, 2018 @ 9:10pm 
No, it's just visual.
Korlac11 Mar 19, 2018 @ 5:29pm 
Does a dimmer core help game performance?
dizzy Mar 13, 2018 @ 11:35am 
Wow, this is SO much better than either a galactic background with no graphic, as in black, or something so bright youre blinded. Way to go with this, +1.
Gopher Mar 12, 2018 @ 11:39am 
Ah... Ok, then I shall go comment on that page and track it for solutions, then!
Flambeau200061 Mar 12, 2018 @ 3:37am 
O.k. so I'm using Epic Galaxies that's what's affecting the brightness in 2.0, right? Do you think there's a way to fix this from your side? Or maybe create a bigger galaxy with more stars but an empty core as in vanilla? Because as it is now it doesn't really look very good.
ButtJunkie  [author] Mar 11, 2018 @ 6:19pm 
Yes the game changed how it calcualted FOW. Not an issue for this mod, but for mods that add stars in the core (which another of my mods does).
Flambeau200061 Mar 11, 2018 @ 9:09am 
#Gopher. Same for me.
Gopher Mar 11, 2018 @ 7:46am 
I've managed to get an empire started in the center of the galaxy there, and I've noticed an issue. The fog of war doesn't lift like it's supposed too! Once my ships get outside the core, the fog of war works properly, but for the core? Just the big circle that sits there in vanilla!
Flambeau200061 Mar 8, 2018 @ 3:24pm 
As far as I can tell, the core is initially dim - as intended. However, once I explore into the core region and the fog of war lifts, it get's bright again (playing with a 2000 star galaxy).
Flambeau200061 Mar 7, 2018 @ 12:42am 
Strange, sometimes it works and sometimes when I start a new game or load a savegame it doesn't. Turning the mod off and on again in the settings doesn't help either.
𐩸 Mar 3, 2018 @ 4:18am 
Thanks :)
ButtJunkie  [author] Mar 2, 2018 @ 2:20pm 
I'll be updating it sometime today anyway.
𐩸 Mar 2, 2018 @ 6:30am 
Would it be possible to change the internal version number in an update so the error icon dissapears in 2.0?
Sweaty Snowman Feb 28, 2018 @ 5:39pm 
I have this enabled and it appears it does not disable achievements.
ButtJunkie  [author] Feb 28, 2018 @ 4:05pm 
Unfortunately it does now. It didn't used to, but it looks like 2.0 has change this. It's only a texture, it doesn't change anything else :(
Sweaty Snowman Feb 28, 2018 @ 12:22pm 
Does this affect achievements?
Minion of Speed Feb 26, 2018 @ 6:53pm 
FYI Still works in 2.0, just ignore the warning. No need to rush updating.
Rocket Feb 24, 2018 @ 7:28pm 
update?
ButtJunkie  [author] Feb 14, 2018 @ 10:58pm 
Adding or removing it at any point in a game is fine.
TriggerMaru Feb 14, 2018 @ 4:00pm 
Does this mod work with games in progress or do i need to restart?
