Help removing dust cloud glow when zoomed out in galaxy

from Sins Forums

Hi all,

 

I am new to sins modding and i have a question which I haven't been able to resolve using the forum search.

 

I have created a large map with  a lot of stars but when I zoom far out to see my empire I cannot see it clearly because of the dust cloud glow surrounding the stars. what I want to be able to see is just the stars when zoomed out and as i zoom in then the planets appear. Is there a way to do this by modding the game files?

 

I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean by glowing dust clouds obscuring the view

Know what you are talking about. A fellow modder has already down a lot of work on that.

Here is his work. I am sure he wouldn't mind if you used it for personal use. To release publicly as part of your own mod please ask his permission.
