RELEASED Illuminated Ores 1.7 for 1.3.2

Slightly glowing ores to make them easier visible

    Upon playing the new Pleased Giraffe update, I noticed that ores didn't seem to be glowing. At first I thought they had removed the ability for tile mods to glow, but after some poking around, I found the issue. You basically just move the decimal two spaces.

    For example, the old coal glow value was...
    Code:
    [ 0.20 , 0.20 , 0.20 ]
    And now, to get an equivalent glow, you set it to...
    Code:
    [ 20 , 20 , 20 ]
    EDIT: ...And just noticed that this mod might be a dead one. Leaving this here for people who want to manually update.

    I manually updated according to the previous commenter and it wasn't nearly as glowing as the original - more like the incredibly subtle COLOREBOUND.
    I tested out using double the amount set, for example, for coal:

    Code:
    [ 40 , 40 , 40 ]
    And this made it appear more like it originally did in this mod - not as subtle as COLOREBOUND but much less bright than the Glowing Ore mod. I'm changing the rest of the files accordingly to make sure this is right for the rest of them, and I'll edit this after I've done that and checked it out.

    Edit: Iron and Copper both as showing as they used to pre-update. Seems like you have to shift the decimal twice and then double the number to get the right glow, although I guess some lightning mods or screen settings might change the effect?

    Hi,
    Following your hints, i fixed the mod.

    Small glowing (using [40, 40, 40] for Coal)

    Medium glowing (using [70, 70, 70] for Coal, appying x1.75)

    Big glowing (using [100, 100, 100] for Coal, applying x2.5)

    Links are in the review post (as i haven't post enough i can't post links here).

    ThatPurpleOne Yeah, You!

    What you need to do in order to update the values properly, is you need to take the original values and divide 255 by them, not 100.
    Example: 255 / 0.2 -> 51. so [ 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 ] would become [ 51, 51, 51 ] (rounded).

    This ensures that the glow stays the same.

    What the developers basically did is switch from a 0.0 - 1.0 range for the 256 possible red/green/blue color value strengths to actual 0 - 255 values.

    EDIT:
    Here is a version with all the values converted that way: ftp://ambftp.ath.cx/IlluminatedOres_Pleased_Giraffe_purplemod.zip

    Arona, your file seems mixed up, as the small glow bright, and the Big glow dim

    This does not seem to work with the Pleased Giraffe update. Hopefully this will get updated. :(

    Can't get it to work at all. I found another glowing ore mod but it makes everything way too bright, so I was hoping this one would work

    Dude this mod is a must have for compulsive miners like myself, so i'd like to know if you intend to update for current versions including the plethora of ores from frakin universe, otherwise i'd like to know how to add the ores from frakin universe myself, i know how to unpack and pack the files my coding skills suck but i can learn :)

    O Great creator of this mod that illuminates our path to progress, which gave us the light at the end of the right hehe was making a small report about that incompatibility that had found darkness in a few ores of mod Industrialization: Starbound Edition but fortunately Now it has solved it. I send you a greeting from Uruguay.
