Yeah he is right. But I tend to overlook the jump gates. I think I need to get used to their new look

I have the opposite problem, I see mainly only the gates.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
I apologize to everyone who has already downloaded Patch 3.2. I accidentally added one texture to it from the tests of blinking. Please download this Patch again, I removed the wrong texture and both Patches (Orig, LU) was uploaded again now.
Thank you for understanding.

Re: [mod] X3 - RESURRECTION MOD (New graphic mod)
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:
The textures themselves are very good.
However, there's too much texture shimmering going on due to a lot of them being too high resolution. 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). I see this a lot in mods, even popular ones.
Other people might not care about texture shimmering -- I do, and I think they're crazy. But different people have different opinions on what looks good to them, so whatever.
And 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.
But, 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.

Re: [mod] X3 - RESURRECTION MOD (New graphic mod)
AFAIK this are the original textures, just a little sharpened and with increased contrast, Daemonjax.
Do you mean with shimmering that appearance that there is no AA? Then yea I have the same issue with it. Why, btw, is it that drivers can't AA these lines? Maybe I try ReShade next. That could do like a edge-find and selective blur or something.

You can use Supersampling, which does a fine job with such problems. However, due to a game engine decision from Egosoft, all ingame text will get blurry.BananaMaster wrote: ↑Fri, 5. Apr 19, 02:52...Why, btw, is it that drivers can't AA these lines? ...
Reshade can only use blur filters (like post-processing antialiasing ones) which just "smear" the picture.

Indeed, the negative opinions and bug hunters shifted the development of this mod to this form. Texture blinking is one big problem and basically struggles with it from the beginning of development. It is very difficult to find a compromise between the nicely filed texture and its distant view.
For example, the last time I upgraded solar power plant panels. What you now see in the latest version of this mode is just a fraction of what I did. 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. It looked amazing! But the problem was when you flew away from the solar power plant. While moving, the game tried to draw the background behind the individual panels. 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.
It is not really easy to improve the look without a negative impact. There are months of work in it and there is still a lot to improve. Unfortunately, I don't have so much time for it now. You know, family, etc...
Have a good day

Re: [mod] X3 - RESURRECTION MOD (New graphic mod)
Yes, this mod (as it is written) only improves the game's textures, not change it. Yes, I did a few textures myself, but mostly it is an improvement of the original textures or their rework. This is the purpose of this mod. And as has been written many times, this mod does not change any sector settings. The resulting appearance was achieved by balancing of textures (contrast, sharpness, color, brightness, local changing, etc ...)BananaMaster wrote: ↑Fri, 5.

As a result, you do not have to start a new game with this mod and you can install and uninstall it at any time without risk. This is also the main purpose of this mode.
Large mods have their compatibility packs because their creators have some textures altered and this mod respects them. If there will be some other big mods in the future and you will not sure about compatibility, just put the pair cat and dat files of X3-Resurrection in front of the cat and dat files of the new mod. It's easy.
Thank you all for your understanding.

Re: [mod] X3 - RESURRECTION MOD (New graphic mod)
I just went to the download page and malwarebytes is telling me that the website (and possibly the mod) is compromised by a trojan. Is this just me or is anyone else getting it too?
