I have done what I can redo the mod for modern Stellaris.
Thank you Dwaine for the amazing mod from almost six years ago.

For those saying this mod no longer works, it does, but it is incompatible with certain mods. Real Space - Colour out of Deep is the one for me that it's incompatible with. But to be clear, it does work.

Nah, it doesnt work with 3.2 or above

So does this mod still work?

does this mod work with 3.0?

As of 2.7, this and the other astronomical objects mods do not work. I have noticed that when I open the ship builder it still shows like normal (except that its spinning at 100 mph). Also, when I tell any ship to move to a new system the graphics show up but they are horribly disfigured and the colors are way off.

Moe Mod Compilation
Greetings, And thank you for the creation of this awesome mod! I love it and wish to keep playing with it. However I have a request. After the recent Megacorp update I feel as though the game went a poor direction design wise. Portrait sizes are to small and many other things. As such I am playing with version 2.1.3 before the update. If possible can I have access to the mod version that supports V 2.1.3? I have a “Moe Mod Compilation” That it is apart of that I wish to keep playing with. Thank you for your time and consideration! “ Mod Compilation link https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1526656277 “

can u do downscaled version for smaller galaxys?

it does work with the current game build, the main game menu red warning for this mod can be ignored.

does this still work with the current update?

there any way to have the fog of war back? I like to know what I have and haven't explored already.

I don't like the alpha texture artifacts on the borders of the textures and the low resolution.
Am I just doing it wrong, is there a fix for it, or does this mod need a little more love?

its a shame the quadrents and galactic objects vanish every time you plot a ship course as well, otherwise this would be a really solid mod

Tried everything, can't seem to get it to work. Nothing shows up in galaxy view.

Don't know why but it doesn't show up anymore on the galaxy view.. :/

Hey, Dwaine, I think I have a solution for you.
Instead of attaching the quadrant as an entity, try adding it as a particle. Yeah, one giant particle. Surprisingly, it works very well:
Shows up on low graphical settings, doesn't disappear when you select a planet, doesn't spin like mad in the ship designer. The rings do reset their position when you open the designer or enter a system, but it's way less noticable.
Here, I packaged it in a mod (and also cleaned the rings from white pixels). I can host it myself until/unless you update it.

Does it also work with custom galaxy mods?

The ability to toggle the text on or off (or make the font smaller and/or make it rotate with the rest of the graphic) would mucho improvo. I sometimes restart just because my home system is right in the middle of a letter which feels lame.

I've discovered that the overlay disappears whenever a species portrait is showing (like in the Planet Menu, Species Menu, etc.) Hope that helps.

doesnt show up, even with graphics on high

Little bug: If you open fleet designer. It begins to spin very fast.

the white dots all along the edge, is that intentional? Or an artifact?

Great mod. Though everytime I open up the planet menu the reskin just disappears and is really annoying to look at. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks for the great mod.

Even with high graphics, this mod has no effect at all. Ive tried it both standalone and with the objects mod. How would I go about figuring out why?

When selecting certain ships, the rings for the quadrants vanish. When selecting Ship Designer, they suddenly spin at mach 1204921940214091.

do these mods work with Beauitful Universe 2.0? Thanks!

Is there a way to have a version thats not high graphic setting? I keep my setting on medium so to help with dealing with fps decrease in laye game for 1000 star galaxies.

Is there a version that has spiral arms galaxy shape?

@tmonahan23, Yes it's compatible with every galaxy reskin and yes, with medium or low graphics quelity, the quadrant will not appear. Stellaris is auto hiding the mod when high graphics option isn't activated.

@Captain Jin, known bug, I'm trying to finding out why.

Oh damn. That is sexy.

" REQUIRE HIGH GRAPHICS QUALITY TO WORK" Does this mean we need the game to be running on graphic settings High?

When going into the Ship Designer screen, the quadrants go at light speed around the map. Minor glitch, but the fact that it works when opening Ship Designer and not other menus might help figure out how to make it more universally stable. Fantastic mod btw

Is this mod compatable with Realistic Galaxy mod? https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1332140337

Allright people, as per request, this mod can now be used as a standalone or addon with the main mod.
IF using it as standalone, the game will throw some harmless warning in the log.
I've left animation, for now, and is looking for a solution.
Enjoy !

@TheFineSelector, yes, it has been asked a reasonable number of times, I'm trying to find a trick to make this both compatible with astronomical objects and stand alone.

@Tavmminqat, no, I have no power over that, it's the game engine deciding what to display. That's a core engine thing that only dev can manipulate (as far as I know).

@[VGM] Snowduck, @Lt. Angelo/Cupcake, @VoynichArchitect, @Hazzard52,@AmberGoldPL, it's a known bug, to be precise, whenever a portrait appear on screen, the entities disappear, you can easily test it, select a science ship, right click on portrait to remove leader, and boom, entities are back. As for the ship designer, not a clue, I'll probably have to remove animations.

@Sr. Arijo, you need graphics quality set to high to see them, otherwise stellaris auto delete them.

@Dezert, I'm thinking about it, I'm currently looking for a solution.

@Tanner, It's a bit complicated, I've tried but rotation angle is set randomly when entering galaxy view. I've no real answer for the problem you quoted, that's why I'm very reluctant to make the text and quadrant more visible.

Great Mod! Can we get is as stand alone version without the astromical objects?

I noticed 2 bugs:
- quadrant lines dissapear when you select science ship
- when you enter ship designer the quadrant lines in the background start to rotate/pulsate like crazy.

May I also suggest to add "Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma" markings to the quadrants?

Would there be anyway to make the quadrants visible at low of medium graphics settings? I don't have the greatest PC at the moment and I'd love to use this mod.

@Lord Snowduck i have the same problem.

Also in the fleet designer, the rings spins at 500million km/h

@Lord Snowduck, I have the same issue too. The Rings disappear if i select a ship.

I saw your mod and I "jizzed in my pants"

I ran into some bugs with this mod. When i have a science ship selected the rings disappear. When i have the ship designer open the rings start flashing and in general freakout. When i have government,demographics,contacts,technology,planet and sectors,species,leaders, and fleet manager selected the rings disappear. when i have my combat fleet selected, the rings disappear. When i have my planet selected and is on the galaxy map, the rings disappear. Transport fleets also cause the rings to disappear. If anyone has solutions for the bugs please tell.

somehow the mod and the Addons dont work, there are no Circles or new clusters when i create a new Game, i did delet all Mods that effect universe gerneration. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Yes ! Finnaly a real real univers in life !

Thanx for this mod !

@Dezert Agreed, and I would even be satisfied if the measurement units and core/rim notations roated as well, so you don't end up with your home system being right dot underneat the letters which is oft times annoying lol

Just to reiterate: probably my favorite mod I've found in a while - thanks again for making this

One suggestion, but it might not be for everyone, would be to denote quadrants in the overview as well i.e. alpha/beta quadrants and so on

may be worthwhile to turn off the animation? Temporarily...

@Tactical Heathen, I know, and there's nothing I can do about it, I think it's hardcoded. The entity I use to hook this mod was, I think, never supposed to be seen, hence the many bugs.

@Lumpy, @The Mind Castle, it's on my TODO list

@Twinty, everyone has this bug, nothing I can do about it.

@Erykx225, I coulod, the problem is that I can't remove these dynamically, so "here be dragons" would be from start to finish.

@muraviev2, yes, it should with no problem

@Mr. Computer, thanks !

@Jotaro Kujo, that's outside the scope of what a modder can do I'm afraid. It's embedded deep in the code.

@TheEXPGamer, the mod itself was an experimentation for the future star wars fallen republic.

@Ser Lucas Avis ☭, Maybe later!

This has been working brilliantly thank you Dwaine! Any interest in making actual quadrants or "sectors" a la Star Treks Alpha/Beta/Delta/Gamma as well?
