About this mod
Retexture (s) of the Freighter Hangar with four different themes & done semi-modularly so that you can mix and match. A ton of add-ons are also included for even more customization. Not your normal makeover... :-)
- Permissions and credits
First, I want to start of by paying major kudos to Gumsk for their gLight Better Ship Lighting mod, as for without it I would have never bothered attempting this one in the first place. Also, thank you for being gracious enough to allow me to to include the freighter hangar portion of that mod into this one, because to be honest, that is the true foundation of this mod. :-) This is also the part where I mention that I've included in this mod a slightly modified version that has a mixture of red and white lights on the landing pad. Because of the reduction of white lights, I had to tweak the lights a bit more but tried to do so while respecting Gumsk's original work as much as possible. Keeping the same train of thought, I did not and will not provide a lua script for that version but as always, you can find a script embedded into the original version.
NOTE: For the red light modified version of Gumsk's Better Ship Lighting Mod, you MUST have No Bloom Effect installed otherwise it will NOT look right. This wasn't intentional but rather a consequence of tweaking it with that mod installed.
My roadmap for the future of this mod is to eventually build it into something that would allow you to customize your hangar from within your hangar - similar to the vanilla freighter customization terminal found in the bridge, but with way more options. That is still a long ways away though for my technical ability, so this is the next best thing in my eyes.
This mod comes as:
- 4 Freighter Hangar Themes (with more planned in the future):
- [Red Caligo], [Blue Caligo], [White Futura], [Gray Futura]
- 4 Matching "Backplates" (didn't know what else to call it, heh.) - reasoning behind modulating this is that I'm eventually going to produce more abstract designs as well as changing the glass of the doors.
- 4 Matching Front Doors (with more planned)
- 5 Landing Pads:
[Blue Caligo], [Chrome Futura], [Golden Pad V1], [Golden Pad V2], [Red Caligo]
- 3 Hangar Cranes:
[Black], [Chrome], [Gold]
- 8 Entrance Beams:
[White], [Red], [Blue], [Yellow], [Green], [Orange], [Rainbow], [Deleted]
- 10 Custom Dock Numbers (themed are in parenthesis for easy matching)
^All with the ability of being interchangeable
+
The option to customize the colors of your fuel pods via a lua script that I've provided. For non-lua users, I’ve also provided individual pak’s with colors to match each of the four variations.
Also, last but not least you get:
- Hangar Defogger (updated version of the one I've provided in my Space Station Defogger mod)
&
- Entrance Beam Defogger
And before I forget - this also themes the outside of the entrance beams with whatever theme you've installed. I personally love it!
I will be adding more info and pictures later, but for now I think that this is enough. This was quite the mod to put together!
>> Instructions are included in the main zip, along with lua scripts & appropriate TEXTURES folders for each of my mods. <<
Enjoy!
