Yep, 4 sectors per cluster work well, but above that you get UI issues. I think some of my videos showed this in the WIP XR port, but I don't know where. Best of luck with this cool work!

Finally! It's happening! X Rebirth 2 is a thing! A document about mission design has been accidentally leaked: https://www.egosoft.com/download/x_rebirth/files/X_Rebirth_Manual_Update_2.0_English.pdf :shock: :o Is this your 4/1 prank? ;) Pretty sure that's referring to XR 2.0, similar to X4 2.0. :(

I am very interested in your work. I edited many planets in my mod but it was a terribly long work of trial and error. Despite the engine's huge potential I am quite disappointed by how the vanilla planets look and how the systems are made, a step back from Rebirth (which was ok despite at a very s...

those images look wonderful.

Thank you both! The main reason I did this in Blender is it comes with some great random spline generating, and I was provided code for exporting those to X4/XR format. I'm not sure if those images used them, but I think the splines are pretty cool.

A certain major modder (think VRO and others) has been testing my latest tool for X4, and he said it's good to go. If you want to try generating new regions for the vanilla galaxy or your own,* please take a look! I'll let him post example screenshots if he chooses. Basic instructions are in the Rea...

They removed the most important part? Good grief…

Reserved for updates, etc.

I have created a Blender addon that lets you export new animations into X4, which may be a first outside what the developers use (and I believe those are not just Blender in Python like this). This could be a big deal, even after official tools are released. Here's a quick demonstration. https://you...

I’ll post separately about this when I can, but I just made a new animation from scratch in blender and my new scripts worked to export it to the game. Kind of a big deal. 😉 we need a good step-by-step guide for those of us who are bad with python and other stuff like that :) congrats in finally br...

Yes, look for a button near top right with a "circular arrow". It's possible that the R key will also do it. Amazing. Did you discovered this by yourself? I don't recall--I think I noticed it and tried it, and R is the hotkey for doing this in the map so hopefully that also works while station buil...

Impressive as always ! I'm really curious to where it could lead. I read that it's a bit of python but is it mostly XML for the rest ? Is it quite like creating new sectors ? Thanks! Yeah honestly the Python part is just for preparing the meshes (doing binary edits to replace material references, w...

nice. i was re-watching your old videos, particularly this planetary atmosphere flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJrGCLmrjtM and it got me thinking. how close to planets can we build stations? can we build stations in a planet's atmosphere? i've not done any of the new terraforming missions,...

X4 has a great shader system for planets that allows very easy randomization, and I finally made a "procedural generator" for planets in XSLT (with a bit of Python for tiny mesh edits). This is in very early stages and will do much more over time, such as create atmospheres, aurora, hopefully orbits...
