@Xaliber "Better Chains" is still needed. "Protector Icons", "Kelp Sapling Fix", "Fixed Critters", and "NPC Fixes" are also still needed, but I plan to fix the same things they do. Everything else will be covered by SBPP when I have update 1.0.8 out.

@jss2a98aj:
Fantastic. Mind if I ask which one from the list that you decide not to include in your mod? While I'm at it I'm thinking of updating the list and including your mod, so to prevent redundancy. :D
jss2a98aj 5 Jan, 2019 @ 11:37am 
@Xaliber Thank you! I have already fixed most of what the mods on that list have, but I will see about including the few that I haven't, barring better chains. (Its out of scope for SBPP, but still a good suggestion)

@jss2a98aj:
Hey! Sorry I was on a long hiatus a while back. If I remember correctly, on CF forums I got the chance to talk to Dracyoshi a while ago, and he let me reupload his work and make further work on it.

Feel free to include them in your mod :)

While you're at it, have you considered some fixes that are also in this list? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=881906735
jss2a98aj 29 Oct, 2018 @ 9:20pm 
@Xaliber Do the original mod permissions apply to the parallax you fixed in addition to the original fixes? I would like to include them in https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1543219534 (Starbound Patch Project) if possible. Credit will be given If I am allowed to do so.
Thanks, jss2a98aj

The issue is still there.
Dreamclaw 26 Aug, 2017 @ 12:24pm 
Is this fix still needed? Are the mentioned issues still there and therefore the changes in this mod viable?
Xaliber  [author] 29 Jul, 2017 @ 1:11pm 
Works with 1.3.

@Dracyoshi:
No prob! Thanks to you! I didn't really notice the weird hue until I saw your mod, so it's just worth of fixing and spreading. :D
Raindrac 19 Jun, 2017 @ 1:08am 
Oh hey, thanks for fixing and re-uploading it. I hid the mod because of the missing images and never felt like fixing it myself. Glad to see that someone else fixed it. Sorry!
Someone 10 Jun, 2017 @ 6:29am 
works with 1.3 ?

_Cake 8 Jun, 2017 @ 12:21pm 
This has greatly improved my fps , i went from 19-25 to a solid 60 on an i5. Thanks

I have listed this mod to Starbound Bugs & Typo Fixes collection. In case someone is interested in fixing the stuff in their game, you can subscribe to the said collection.

Please let me know if there are more bugs you encountered in the game and if there are any mods that attempt to fix those bugs, so I can list them in the collection.

For anyone interested in trying out the parallax image compression, see the mod here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885877773

Hey, I've compressed the parallax background images. I don't know if it will help for your game performance tho. I need someone to test them out before I release it in Workshop. If any of you is interested please tell me and I'll send the link.
Xaliber  [author] 13 Mar, 2017 @ 5:49am 
Well, your idea sounds interesting, but I think I don't have the time to do it at the moment. I do take some interest on attempting modding that, but not feasible to do at this time. Remind me a month later perhaps.
Carboneye 12 Mar, 2017 @ 8:27am 
@Xaliber: yes but not directly towards you, just no one seems to not even respond to my forum, soi'm kinna advertising

@awesoman519, @lowranker:
A mod won't be reversible when you modify the way a planet generates. Planet is generated only when we visit them, and they have bits of information that contain such thing as what background to use.

As NexusTheBrony has pointed out, I would suspect the mod that removes background modifies the planet information so the game crashes when the mod is uninstalled (no longer able to read the information stored by the mod).

@CarbonEye:
What do you want me with that link? Is that a request?
Xaliber  [author] 12 Mar, 2017 @ 1:09am 
@OsamaBinRunnin
I can, but don't we already have actual birds flying in the foreground?

@Cupcake King:
?? What do you mean? If you mean the preview image, it's just a preview image. They are all three different planets but put in one image so I don't have to upload three images.

@Minecraftersx3:
Took me a while too!

@Craftykit:
Untested, but what it does is change the image. Should be client side.
Craftykit1 11 Mar, 2017 @ 4:49pm 
never noticed them actually XD but now that you've pointed this out, it bothers me. is this client side or server side?
Lower Frequencies 9 Mar, 2017 @ 12:56pm 
I think i need glasses.
Lower Frequencies 9 Mar, 2017 @ 12:56pm 
I have never actually noticed the rock.
Nexus Of Chaos 9 Mar, 2017 @ 6:22am 
lowranker, the mod that removes bgs may edit the individual biome files to remove them, leaving any edited planet without bgs whether or not the mod is there. this mod only edits the images themselves and not the biome files
Chen'd 9 Mar, 2017 @ 5:53am 
It makes the grafits look more better
xolophreny 9 Mar, 2017 @ 2:04am 
And why's the mod that removes BG images is not reversible, but that mod is?
Awesoman 8 Mar, 2017 @ 4:13pm 
xaliber i got a favor to ask you. there used to be a mod that removed the backrounds and it helped my game A TON. it made the game playable for me. It's gone now for unknown reasons and i want you to make a mod that does just that. could you do that?
NerdCuddles 8 Mar, 2017 @ 10:56am 
wat a planet with a moon background behind a luch background.....


WTF is it?
Ash! 8 Mar, 2017 @ 4:16am 
can u make it that bird fly across sometimes :D
Xaliber  [author] 8 Mar, 2017 @ 1:37am 
I suppose so. Why?
Awesoman 7 Mar, 2017 @ 10:05pm 
you seem to know how to modify the backround, correct?
Xaliber  [author] 6 Mar, 2017 @ 11:48pm 
Anyway I've updated the mod. Just a small compression so the images have better performance. Please let me know the performance on your end.
Xaliber  [author] 6 Mar, 2017 @ 11:14pm 
I can compress the parallax images easily, but I can't guarantee if they will help on increasing FPS. I will try to do that later though, perhaps this Friday (have no time to compress that much images at the time).
L.H 6 Mar, 2017 @ 1:44pm 
i have 8 frames XD
Family share dimi 6 Mar, 2017 @ 10:35am 
Can you make a mod that makes the background less demanding for my GPU? I´m playing on a low end laptop and the only way to even get around 20-30 fps is to use a mod which completely removes the background sprites. Problem is that it breaks my immersion. I don´t care how you do it,but please.
Xaliber  [author] 6 Mar, 2017 @ 2:15am 
Yup, it will be a separate mod for sure.
Seiga ♥ 5 Mar, 2017 @ 7:35am 
That would be great if the parallax either compressed or reduction in detail to improve FPS, although it's reccomended to make a separate mod hence this is purely for fixes
BigGreenGayDad 5 Mar, 2017 @ 3:02am 
Yay it's back!
Xaliber  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
...or if the image is compressed.
You know, you just gave me ideas. I think I could optimize the performance here.
Xaliber  [author] 4 Mar, 2017 @ 10:47pm 
@DaLamp:
Nope, nothing to do with performance as the mod still loads parallax graphics. It only improves performance when it doesn't load the graphic at all.
Seiga ♥ 4 Mar, 2017 @ 12:07pm 
Does this mod improve performance ?
