Just want to give people an update, Due to the current issues with several pcs with the game loading the recent 4.2.0 update. I cannot update the model till it is resolved as I am effected by the update. I have a sizable update to push with update whenever I am able to run the game again.

@perl some songs that were added were already added in the game but required certain things to happen in order for them to play, like fish in the sea one, or they were on the console edition game files. The goal of this mod is bring over content from console. Banging on a trashcan was part of a Stellaris trailer for Toxoids but was added into the to file of the game but wasn't used. So I brought it over to pc.

@Alt why was this added to begin with? It's not even an OST, it's a country song

@perl you can remove the music tracks if you so wish.

Why does this mod add the "Banging on a trashcan" music track? Can it be removed?

Nice!

Hello Spacefarers, A major update has been released.

200 icons and assets added
Majority of Bio ship technologies added (Biogenesis)
Added Skravird strike craft (Galactic paragons)
Fallen Empire building Technologies added (Machine Age)
Cosmogensis Bioship icons added (Biogenesis)
Added several placeholder Technology images

@Jsamue it will still work on earlier versions

is there a 3.14 version of this somewhere?

@Pietrooperv the tech frame mod edits the image itself so this mod will have conflict with that. This mod replaces a lot of assets with higher quality ones. So you will have to pick.

Will this mod work with a tech tier frame mod? Do those mods internally replace the tech images with a new one who's only difference is a colored frame, or do they add the colored frame to whatever image is already there?

Hello Spacefarers, Just to give an update.
I am currently working on a moderate update for some assets for the machine age (fallen Empire buildings images) and bioship components from Biogensis.

Hello Spacefarers, an update has been released.
-Border reshade has been redone for more better visual clarity if the mod is used with other mods.
-Fixed an issue related to the megastructures menu

@Rohzdear That is not an incompatibility issue, this mod includes a border reshade to have border be a solid color. Immersive Beautiful Universe just changes the textures of the galaxy which may make thing brighter as a result.

So make sure to load this mod before (higher in the load order).

This has a big incompatibility issue with ! Immersive Beautiful Universe ! mod, where if 'Console Edition HD Art' is loaded after it the borders of empires will be so brightly lit with bloom and lens flare they can be seen from the next galaxy over.

Quick hotfix - fixed an issue related to the Deep Space citadel causing a crash on selection, please unsubscribe and re subscribe to force the update with the hotfix to go through.

Thank ya, yeah I have not seen this on my end. The section you showed is only from the Room selection for AI when the AI rolls for its personality type at game start, which in it self shouldn't be a problem. 4.0 might have changed something on the back-end and Ill have to look to see what it did. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll look into it further when I get a chance.

here is the log: https://pastebin.com/2EfKJwEG

Have you checked the log in your install?
I have these errors:
[13:10:03][persistent.cpp:43]: Error: "Unexpected token: personality_evangelizing_zealots_room, near line: 205
" in file: "gfx/portraits/asset_selectors/room_textures.txt" near line: 205

and that file is modified by your mod.

If anything it could be the border shader, if you can provide the error log for me to look at, I wouldn't mind taking a look.

@Overlord I don't see how it can, this mod is mostly a texture replacer with the only scripts modifying the UI to use the larger assets.

This mod causes a lot of errors to appear in the error.log

That was quick. Cheers!

Hello Spacefarers, another update has been released.
Mod as been updated to 4.0
Added several fixes
Added new tile to replace the unyielding tradition tree background with better art from console.
Added support for the new Origins.

@TrueRebel Anytime, I am always trying to find ways to improve this mod and it compatibility.

I will suggest one thing if you going to follow what I said. Use the Bigger Megastructures V2 mod, and have it load after any UI mods or at the bottom of the load order. The reason why is that if your Using UIOD or any other mod like giga structures, the UI will display the assets incorrectly because Console Edition mod's assets are larger and those mods are using base asset sizes instead of the 128 x128 which will cause visual bugs.

Bigger Megastructures V2

Have a pleasant day. ^^

@Alt Thanks for the link and tip! I had HD Art below my UI mods so that may have been the issue. In any case, I will do exactly what you've suggested and thanks again.

@nyyfandan There is a bunch of answers to that question. But overall it comes with an art pass phase of content updates and Paradox likes to only focus on the updates' focus.

This looks great. I really don't understand why they don't make the higher resolution art standard in all game versions. It's what, 200MB total maybe?

@TrueRebel In case you want to remove the border color changes, You can delete the Border.sahder file in the gfx\FX folder directory of the mod.

If you want to use the assets without the patch and have UIOD as Primary do not use the patch and have Console Edition Art loaded before UIOD. That way UIOD scripts and files will override the the ones included in this mod.

Please note, Console Edition Art Mod does alter GUI elements to force the game to take advantage of the larger scale assets from the Console Edition of the game. If there is a mod that alters anything gui related to the Technology screen, Origin Selection Screen/Empire creation screen, or Mega-structure build menu, there will conflict as those are the only GUI files that this mod modifies.

@TrueRebel What is your load order?

Second I modified the empire border color display in the shader file to be more solid color of the Primary color whatever is selected to appear more like how empires were originally displayed before Apocalypse expansion changed display borders. If you have a mod that lets you have a lot more colors they will use that color.

For UIOD, there is a compatible patch if you want to see larger assets. May have some issues with display other then 1080P

Patch: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3451548198

First and foremost, this mod is amazing and enjoyed it very much. I like to report an issue that I've been having with the galaxy map. Empires color are overly bright and saturated whenever I have this enabled. Also, I believe this conflicts with UI Overhaul Dynamic and gui mods in general because ui elements were out of place.

If anyone is using Planetary Diversity mod I have made an add-on to allow usage of higher quality assets while also fixing things to work with Console Edition HD Art Mod. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3463993188

@Pitlos Tails if you don't want UI scale to be altered to accommodate the UIOD, don't use the patch just use this mod and the UIOD mod.

@Pitlos Tails Are you using UIOD mod patch? which parts are you referring to?

very cool mod but i hate how it messes with the scale of things on ui overhaul for no reason when u use it and the patch

@..cz to my knowledge this dosent need a compatibility patch for this is mostly an HD asset mod. The only compatibility patch currently allows people who use UIOD to see larger assets when using UIOD.

will zou make compatibility patch with !!!Universal Resource Patch?

Wow, this is great

There is now a Compatibility Patch. Load order instructions included.
