Meh not really a fan of the lighter strip in the center.

I have just tried the mod in game, I am unable to change the colors or strip light in general from my list while in game. unless i am missing something or an add on. please advice

@kufber I can make extended 45 and 60 slopes at a +3 +4 lengths if that will cover your issue.

Is it possible to have lines on a slope without any other angles? I guess there has to be one part that is flat. I'd be nice if the strips were longer. I have a big ship with long areas of 45 degrees where there is a 2 block gap that this strip set won't cover. Thanks.

@Faydruh I've tried to figure out how keen applies it's weld/grind collisions and it just makes no sense. I had thought they based it on the collision model which I enlarged. Next I dumped the thin wireframe from the construction model as a test. Neither worked. Aside from enlarging the collisions again which would make a player run into invisible walls while walking on them.... I'll try a few other ideas.

I remember with digi's "Advanced Welding - detaching and reattaching blocks!" it was really hard to target the blocks for welding, so digi set the welding area to the bounding box of the block. Idk how to do this but its a thing -shrug- Idk if you can get in contact with digi or find out how to do this but it is a solution to the welding issue, assuming it doesn't have unintended side effects like making the collisions non existent. Although, I think personally, as I user of this mod in survival would value welding these blocks over being able to run into them if I place them sticking out from things, so if that is actually the compromise, its not a bad one, in my eyes. Anywhooo, I have over used this mod since I first downloaded it, its something that just makes sense, lights really never do the job as perfectly as this mod does, I am glad you remade it

Getting these errors on the server, not crash worthy but I thought you might like to know about them

Everything else is fine

Do you happen to have an entirely-emissive block?

@argonavtica, Sorry for the late response but yes as you discovered this mod is a direct replacement for the original emissive strips mod and more have been added including small grid strips.

...as I expect the basic ones taken over to have the same ID...

I had the precursor emissive strip mod. When I replace it with yours, will the 'old' strips still exist under your mod, or will I have to lay them all again?

we had ship with many stripes, no one could get near it, once it's loaded, client crashed.
i have removed mod, and problem was gone.
But i think we will add this mod again for testing, as it's really nice!

Thank you for updating the models!

I've finally adjusted the emissive values again and I tinkered a bit with some of the construction models in an attempt to get them easier to grind with little luck. I'm certain the grinding issue is the extremely small collision models I'm using that hugs the model itself to make these easy to fly around and through.

@Dorimanx I have not been able to reproduce any client crashes and none of these use LOD's as of yet since they are such simple models.

that suck to hear

Hi, this mod has some of the stripes that crash client with error for rendering, probably LOD model error, many mods suffer from this now, after update to 194.

@[GSF] Neimoh It seems Keen has again broken the recolourable emissive function.

I cannot find a way to color the strips. They don't show up in the grid or anything.

how do we go about changing colours of the strips mate

The collision and hit boxes seem to be offset just slightly behind the strips. If you destroy the block behind them you can target them, but not before. Would you be able to fix this?

why i cant change the paint of them ?

Yeah, something is wrong with it's hit box, I can't weld or grind them with and tools.

it's really hard to weld these now. any tips?

I approve of this remake :D

Ok, i didn't tried it in combination with a collision box, my Carpet mod has no collision boxes.

To bad if it didn't work that way, i know your problem very well, used your stripes on my last Server 2 months ago and i really like it. Was a reason to do my Carpet mod that way i did.

@balmung the issue wouldn't be solved by a plate as welding /grinding needs to be able to intersect with the collision model which I have laid to the exact dimensions of the physical model to allow a player to create a passage out of these and fly through it. This allows people to create "disjointed" grids that are only connected via my strips.

There is a easy simple trick that i used on my carpet mod. I add a plate above it and give them a complete alpha mask texture to make it invisibe, but the game detect it and welding/grinding is much easier. Should work for your mod too.

@mookie I've made the collision models for these the exact dimensions of the meshes themselves to allow interesting design elements and the player can fly through the patterns instead of colliding with nothing. It's a realistic collision mesh essentially but it does make it a pain to weld/grind them as you need to hit the exact strip model.

Looks like Keen changed some variables in how texture channels are handled or something. I had to rebalance the channels but these are now fixed and recolorable again.

yup they are now locked to white regardless of what you choose. :(

It looks like today's update broke the painting on these blocks. They are all white regardless of paint color. It looks like the glow around them is still colored though.

Bump, I agree, the hit box is way to small
Also, pyrrhic. The best advise I could give. Is the hit box for these tends to be on the edge of a normal sized armour block. The outside diamater of a full block.

These are extremely difficult to target. Can you make the hitbox larger? I can't seem to weld them

I think these look really good unwelded. They almost look like wires.
Would it be possible to add another 1-2 build stages to add diffrent wire-ish looking blocks?

it wasnt
it was this mod
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1359585046&searchtext=emissive+

i remember being able to do that

was that this mod that did that?

can no longer edit the color of reactor emissive
and other vanilla blocks

Great job !!!!

@hellgateLegion The original mod from tal maru actually had very glossy textures for some reason, which I could see causing some excessive gpu use. My textures have no gloss so that should be fixed.

Here's to hoping it doesn't overheat my GPU like the last one did, however that WAS when I was using an outdated driver so who knows.

WOOT added photos of my ships to the end! :D

@e1k3 I do plan on adding 3x1 ramps so I can use them on my ramps mod. I just haven't got that far yet. The inverted corner is a block I seem to have missed. I'll play with some designs and try to come up with something pleasing to angle over then drop down the face.

Nice!

would you consider adding corner / inverted corner pieces? another thing i'd enjoy is a (possibly standalone) version for modded slopes, like 3x1, 4x1, etc., but thats a bit more out there. thanks for a great mod anyway!

I really like this mod, adds an amazing futurist touch to my builds. The only (small) gripe that I have with it is that it is a pain to grind a misplaced strip. Maybe you could increase the hitbox (is that what it should be called? Meh I'll use that) for the strips?
Props to the original creator and for you!

Do I see a KEEN logo there?

Like the phoenix , rising from the ashes of a past life, Great Job !

Nice job! BoB happy! ;)

How long has it been? too long? too long. good god I loved this mod.

Now we can make tri-poliski and addidas ships!
+rep for u from slavic countries.
