The texture is already based on Stefan Payne-Wardenaar's interpretation, which currently is the best artistic impression of the Milky Way based on GAIA's data afaik

As far as accuracy goes, changing the galaxy texture is the most I can do with current SE limitations.

If this addon gets updated again, will it resemble GAIA's data?

It Looks So Cool

Nice touch to an already good model

Ok.

It's kinda complicated, but the SE website explains the basics of it. Some things are outdated, so I plan to make a tutorial on it in the future

Also, was wondering how do you change the galaxy or mod it?

I used this version and the other version of this mod and i also used your Andromeda mod and the new version of the mod I couldn't even tell the difference until I turned it off and turn back on, you did a great job in this one I was wondering if you could do a whirlpool rework mod.

@Scundo Gundo Unfortunately, I can't implement that sort of detail with what SE allows me to do. I can tell the program where the dust goes in the galaxy and can change it's shape trough certain paremeters, but it's all procedural. I have tried to match the location of the dust with what GAIA has mapped, but it's impossible to make it look exactly like that.

it wont work and i deleted cache multiple times

Hello, do you think it could be possible to incorporate the local interstellar dust mapped by the Gaia, Pan-STARRS, and 2MASS surveys?

Here is a link to the paper detailing the dust map:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ab5362/pdf

Impressive, now better in shape, brightness and color. Thanks!

Another update to fix some things from previous version (more details in the change notes). Also, for the next version I will probably implement the galactic plane twist, but I need to figure out a way to make it without breaking procedural generation, so until then, enjoy this version

muito bom, deixa as texturas da vialactea muito melhor

updated YET YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! interstellar 3 movie leak real 100%

Older versions of the addon can be found on the Nexus mods page. As my vision for this addon changes, I update as I see fit, so I won't be downgrading or making separate versions.

can we have a seprate addon for a possible Triangulum?, and also Addon for the previous asset for the Milky Way

Wow, thanks, great. I think the dust distribution in the Milky Way looks much more realistic now. Probably because of the larger amount of data.

And I tought everything was fine this time 😮‍💨 I'll work on a fix for this soon.

Also can the problem of the textures being too big now be solved, the Milky Way D25 isophote is about 87400ly±3600ly in diameter, and the textures are a bit too big now even the D25 diameter is not the edge of the galaxy (80-90%)

The orion spur is a smaller arm, 20000ly in length, about half of the radius of Milky Way. So It should be shorter better

Is it possible or impossible to release the previous version? There are options available, but I prefer the previous version

Unfortunately, it doesn't look as good as the previous version, but it has a strong visual impact. We hope to restore the previous version

Updated to SE 0.990.48.2055 coupled with a redone of the texture, fixing on previous issues (thanks to LBV 2012-26 for making an addon fix in the meantime)

doesnt work on the latest update

nice

broken theres no dust bands in the galaxy

Lets gooo!

Thanks

Updated to SE 0.990.48.2050 now!

Andromeda and this mod dont work

fix mod plssssssssss

Can you pls fix the mod asap

Yeah hey the mod stopped working + the andromeda

And also the Andromeda broke too

For some reason the mod just randomly stopped working

i subscrribed it then deleted the cache i resubscribed many times but the milky way stays the same both from the inside and from the outside

You will still see the default Milky Way from outside the galaxy instead of this

what if you don't remove the cache and subscribe it

Not sure what might be causing this issue, sorry. Everything works fine on my end.

I don't, I just installed this one and Andromeda Overhaul, and after it crashed, I removed Andromeda Overhaul, cleared the cache folder and the game keeps crashing.

Doesn't this happen to you?

Check if you have other addons that might be causing this issue.

Hey, this addon is crashing my game in the latest version :(
I followed the how to install procedure, but it doesn't work, game is still crashing

lbv 2012-26 fixed the milky way data with this addon

also when i delete cache folder it just comes back when i play game

"aLl Of yOur sAveD locAtioNs wItHin tHe gAlaXy shOuld sTill eXist."
yea right
i went to an earthlike planet with this mod installed and the planet turned into a dumb rock
why

I apologize for not even noticing your message. I've sent the friend request to you and we can discussion how to merge our mods for a update of this publish.

Are you in the right folder direction? If so, then once you launch the game it will create itself

Can't find a cache folder

It ):
