Hello,
As a player using the gog's offline installer, I just couldn't bear not to be able to set my own name, so here is how to do it !
No more weird titles, ( "Explorer" with everything ), discovered systems by Explorer @GOG, etc...
Here I will tell you how to :
_change your username.
_get rid of the gog icon that, in my opinion, breaks the immersion.
1) The Username
First, you will need HxD, a software that lets you see the code of an executable and edit it.
You can take it with your language here.
( portable or not, as you like it )
=> Don't forget to backup the .exe, otherwise you might have to reinstall it all if you make a mistake in the process <=
Then, you have to open the software, open NMS.exe with it, ( CTRL+O ), press CTRL+F and switch to the hexadecimal values as shown in this picture.
Look for this : 45 78 70 6C 6F 72 65 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
The non-00 are for "Explorer", that you can see in the decoded text panel on the right. That is what you can edit : from the 45 to the last 00 before the following 25. Edit directly into the decoded text panel : put your cursor just before the "E", write your name : it will apply to the whole game, so every saves will use that name.
The soft will translate in hexa and when you save it will generate a NMS.exe.bak in case you missed something, but do backup your .exe prior to any modification just in case, you will need to put back the original .exe in order to update the game to the latest release, and do the modification again once the update is done.
! DO NO EDIT AFTER OR BEFORE ! Only the values in the blue rectangle on the right panel.
If you do, the game will most likely crash or be broken and might corrupt your save, you don't want that.
( unless you know what you're doing of course )
2) The GOG Icon
Just use the file in the download section I provided, unzip it and put the "No GOG Logo.pak" in the MODS section as usual,( see here if you have a doubt).
It will remove the logo and let you have a regular game, without the gog stamp put everywhere,( I love them but it's a bit too much in my opinion).
Tested with Frontiers 3.62, it should be compatible with anything that does not edit \TEXTURES\UI\FRONTEND\CROSSPLAY\PLATFORM.GOG.DDS
There it is ! Don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear,
Have fun :)
