Features

  • Every ship has been separately and carefully tweaked for best looking effect in-game.

  • Unlike upstream, new ship sprites from Endless Sky 0.9.10+ are no longer replaced by animated version of old ones.

  • All ships have a matching high-DPI version, generated from the source material via on-GPU upscale through neural network, trained specifically on "Endless Sky" ship sprites.

  • Most animations were tweaked by hand, to get rid of minor glitches (like objects clipping through objects).

Installing

Check: https://github.com/Cat-Lady/undisruptive-animated-ships/releases

...for latest, pre-packaged version.

1. Unpack undisruptive-animated-ships to your ES plugins folder. Be sure that you have single undisruptive-animated-ships directory inside your plugins folder, containing data and images directories. Directory structure should look like:

(...)/plugins/undisruptive-animated-ships/(.../data/, /images/ and other stuff)

It won't work if the directory structure will be anything like:

(...)/plugins/undisruptive-animated-ships/undisruptive-animated-ships/(...)

Warning:

This plugin doesn't work with ships purchased before the plugin installation, unless save game is edited (one-time fix) so that ships declared in save file are modified to have "sprite" section matching one in the plugin (see plugin's /data/ships.txt for syntax).
