📋 About This Mod

Unified Warps v5. 5

Simply unifies all warps for consistency and visual appeal. It downplays the bright flashing effects by darkening the overall warping effects. There are four versions available, one with speed lines, one without and one with stars and one with stars without speed lines. Only use one!

I have also swapped out the original LightArms material for a more subtle version which should further remove some brightness.

** NOTE: The method by which the warps are constructed has changed slightly, so please let me know if you have any issues! Thanks :)

The mod also now modifies the warp cameras for ships and freighters (including pirate freighter) when warping in an attempt to reposition them better during warp. Feedback is welcomed since this is a new feature and might still need tweaking.

Since the default LIGHT. MATERIAL. MBIN is used throughout the game in many places I needed to create a new material, edit it and insert it back into the warp tunnel scene. (Big thanks to lMonk for pointing it out to me!)
