GraphicsLib is the new successor of ShaderLib. All mods that previously used ShaderLib should still be compatible with GraphicsLib (due to the intentional backwards compatibility Dark.Revenant has kindly included) or has made adjustments to fit (if any).

The description on the main page that says "Requires ShaderLib" is not wrong, but it isn't right either. Why those requirements hasn't been updated? Well, you know what I'm implying. (No offence intended, please don't blow my ship up!)

Thanks I am definitely not trying to point out anyone's fault I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.  To me they looked like two separate mods with nothing to do with each other.  The train is gone and its out of sight is how late I got to the party :)

It is actually ok to say it requires ShaderLib, since this is what it used to require. As soon though as you click to download ShaderLib, you see on the top of the page with red big font;

Quote
NOTICE: This mod is outdated! Click HERE for GraphicsLib.

For better or worse, since it changed "name", mods that have not updated for a while their description, will have ShaderLib as a requirement. This is why Dark.Revenant made sure to point out first thing how it is outdated.

PS: I would ask to make sure too. I always prefer to be safe than sorry >.> (Not to mention I actually had them both loaded the same time, until thankfully it was pointed out to me)

I cannot seem to find GraphicsLib in the mods list on startup. I do not have shaderlib.

The name is ZZ GraphicsLib in the list of mods. Scroll down all the way down and see if it is there.

I don't see anything like that. It's just not there. Other mods do appear. My download might be incomplete. Within the Graphics Lib mod folder there are 3 files. Data, Graphics, and Change log. Should there be more?

Problem fixed. The issue was the program I was using to unzip the files.

Tryed replacing it w/ shaderlib (latest release on the shaderlib page) and that seems to have worked, I'll use that instead for the time being.

That's particularly bizarre.  Did the mod unpack correctly?  That error seems to me like Graphics.jar doesn't exist.

Also, you should be using Java 1.7 for Starsector if possible (the "jre" folder in the Starsector main directory).

DarkRevenant, I've run across an issue that you might want to see. Somehow, the colors using your mod are all out of whack in the UI, as well as in certain suns and a slight effect on the nebular clouds and ships with blues in them. Also, the colors seem to revert to normal during the quicksave process (while the game is processing). This is a recent change, and it was working correctly before.

Troubleshooting:
Disable all other mods - Fail
Re-DL lazylib and graphics lib after deleting old files - Fail
The following tested with the F10 reload:
GRAPHICS_OPTIONS - Disable Shaders - Fail
GRAPHICS_OPTIONS - Enable 64Bit buffer - Fail
GRAPHICS_OPTIONS - Disable Lights - Fail
GRAPHICS_OPTIONS - Disable Bloom - Fail

The only thing I can think of that has changed since I started using this mod was a nvidia driver update to 375.63 for my GTX1060 , but I'm not sure how they'd be tied together. I've tried tweaking the color settings in control panel, to to avail.

Disable post processing.  Graphics driver updates often break stuff.

I filed a ticket with Nvidia about the broken post processing. Hopefully they actually fix it one of these days.

The issue exists in the newest 376.09 driver version from November 28th as well.

I won't hold my breath over it because I don't want to die.

Does playing without post processing have a significant impact on the image quality?

If it does I'll just revert to an older driver until I burn out on Starsector again for a while, lol.

Thanks!
