I'm not sure to understand well what you are meaning by "hud" but the things that matter for me is not really the "hud" but the 3d cockpit ( maybe you understanded it well, but I comfirm it, to be sure we are speaking about the same thing ! ).Īnyway, I've tried many things even your suggestion about the FOV and the other thing. This may be moot since I dont know if you can in X3. Though if you want to try other tricks is to increase FOV, I know it sounds strange but makes 3D Games seem less flat when you dont have access to convergence(people did this with deus ex and another game). Otherwise I have to see about locking the hud. It will take me a few days before I get the chance to look at it so I recommend trying moving the sky/world closer. Should bring sky closer to HUD, repeat till you find a value you like. Then save and click f10 so it should appear back to normal.Īdjust the X to a lesser value. If you do a wrong one just undo changes and save. Do it one at a time then go into game after each one then and click F10 and it "refresh" the game and it should disapear like earlier when you found hud. Just start the games with the debugger installed and alt+tab open each txt in vertex shaders and delete everything up till dcl_position o#. I cant tell which file just from his zip.
An easy solution might be to make the "sky/space" closer to the "hud". (His fixes look like a different language to everyone.) I mainly even only mentioned it because Ive wanted to see if I can figure out how he did some these fixes. I will try but I am not really a skilled programmer as helix. Again this is speaking out of turn since I am not sure I can fix it but I just want you to realize this is difficult. Maybe if I cant fix it, I can do that or Ive done something else in past where I set it so so convergence effects the hud less. I actually tried to fix this in one(gunsight) but it felt so unnatural when I locked the gun at a certain Convergence but the rest of the world was unlocked. This happens in many first person shooter games with Gun Sights.I assume the hud is as close to the "camera" as possible and due to the nature of these space games pretty much everything is near max depth. You cant get the world not to be flat without breaking the "ships hud".
#X3 albion prelude hud mod how to
Because now you know at least how to remove shaders so if you ever need to remove a bad effect from a game. While if I show someone they may be willing to learn how to fix something later on. They dont open those shaders and they dont realize how advanced they are. Because its too painful when they dont understand how much work goes into everything. Ive learned to not bother to do things if people are not willing to do anything.
#X3 albion prelude hud mod install
I will install it and the mod and see what I can do. I cant guarantee I will be able to fix it but I will try. I just wanted to see if you would actually put the work into it. I kind of tricked you, its usually next to impossible to fix a game without having it installed. Which I have no idea how that works with a mod since they don't have access to that. When we fix a game we change the games shader code. Thats a bit strange to me and may not even be possible. Ive never tried to fix something thats a mod nor has helix. If you cant find either I cant help at all, sorry. If you can only find the pixelshader I cant help you. I will take file and see if I can figure it out. If its a vertexshader and its seperated from rest of the hud(by itself, it should dissapear or distort). Cycle through vertexshaders and see if you can find it. We wont be removing the texture that clips (at the top) unless we have to.
I cant gaurantee it will work but it will require effort on your part. I will see if perhaps together we can find a solution. Then there are the problems with fixing a game, updates that break fixes, DLC, etc. Lots of time goes into fixing each issue and the amount of people who would benefit are just too small. I know helix wouldnt fix it for the mod, sorry. I havent actually played X3 since Im not really into those types of games but perhaps I can help. (This is not helix, helix has been busy with work so I will be answering)
