Works well in 4.0

Thanks for the mod! Can I safely uninstall it mid-game?

it would be nice if there be version of that mod that dont cut colors of empire, it hard to see difrends betwen two empires who have similar color

The mod is still working on 3.13.

still work

Works in 3.12 Machine Age.

Is there a version of this that just removes nebula names, but keeps empire names?

Could you please make one that also removes the empire icons? I think it will enhance the exploration experience by not knowing exactly how big an empire is by just looking at the icon size

Is there a version of this that hides the emblem but keeps the names?

@ai_asakito, to my knowledge, it's not possible. Maybe someone who continues to mod the game knows more about it.

Sorry for disturbing, now is working. Also, I know that a lot of people asks for mods, but if you are going to make more mods for stellaris, can you try to make one to hide the names of the stars that are "conquisted" or "expanded" whatever is called ? Is very annoying to see a lot of names when you zoom in and are usless because they don't have anything of interest.

Hi, I subscribed to this mod after a long time of no use and it does not work. Idk why, but the names do not hide. Is quite annoying because other mods like light borders actually works. Any Idea ? I already re-installed the game and verify the files but nothing, also I'm mot using any other mod.

@htho379 yes, there have been no changes to the mapname shader

Does this work with 3.4.*?

if nebulas spawn it causes the empire logos to be hidden, does anyone know a fix?

I know the chances are low,but since I have no modding experience for the life of me,I would love if you made a mod that only removes galaxy names. If that's not possible,or you don't feel like doing so,I don't mind,I understand modders get requests like this all the damn time. Either way,the removal of them all definitely makes the map feel less cluttered,so thanks for that!

I see this mod has been recently updated but I can't get it to work for the life of me. I've removed it entirely from my computer, resubscribed, wiped it from the Stellaris launcher, ran just this mod, etc.

Can you please let me know if there are any options you'd recommend I try beyond what I've done already?

Edit: I checked and the only mods I'm running that aren't working are yours (Whiter Stars, No Names, and Softer Hyperlanes). I browsed the paradox mod database on a whim and actually found your mod uploaded by someone else for a 2.* version and it works just fine, go figure. I looked through your mod descriptor files and they seem to be formatted incorrectly, I don't really know though. They look like they're trying to direct Stellaris to search an "F" partition that I don't have. Further, no ugc_xxxxxxxxx file is created in the Stellaris Documents folder upon installing any of your mods. Hopefully this information helps your figure out what's going wrong.

Is there any way to have no empire name on map but keep sector names?

@MisterOrrie It is updated, look at the date. Reload from the laucher, remove from playset and resubscribe. Here's a 3.0.2 screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Z2kj1AD.png
Also, there's no need to post the same comment in two places.

Any chance of an update? This brilliant mod doesn't work anymore.

Do you know of any incompatibilities? I have this pretty high up on my list and I've still got names; thank you for your work!

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

no, Waterfall, mapmodes can only change colors.
Again, I mostly did it for myself, I just look at the flags in the pop-ups.
it would be something only Paradox can really fix

Would it be possible to make a map mode where the names are on/off? I like the idea, but it feels like it might be detrimental long term from trying to figure out where the diplomatic pop ups are, etc.

@Agamidae, wow thanks man! This is awesome, exactly what I imagined.

here, @Orph3us, I edited my Smaller Names mod, unpack it and put in your mod folder:

@Agamidae, Thanks for the quick reply! Could you maybe point me to what I need to edit (line?, file?, can I edit this mod?) to get the nebula names back? I really like the cleaner look, but i want the nebula names for story telling :)

@Orph3us, as a seperate, not achievement-compatible mod, yes.

Is it possible to have no names for empires, but to keep the nebula names?

There you go, smaller names: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1510028232

any chance of a posting of that smaller name tweak?

that looks perfect!!! You're a magic worker!

Worked like a charm. Thanks mate!

It's in defines, search for GALAXY_SHOW_STARNAME_ZOOM

That would be a lot of stars to replace since I use some mods. Is the zoom option in the game, or somewhere else? I don't care if resources aren't visible.

Ah, I see. There is an option to change at what zoom level they appear, but it will also hide the resources if I'm not mistaken. Maybe you could do that by making a custom star name list that replaces them all with blanks?

I think I got confused by what names your mod is supposed to remove. I thought it's both empire and star names, but it's only empire names, right? How would I get the names to go away as well? They're a terrible clutter visually.

Something like this? https://imgur.com/WW9lv8E.png

Yeah, I play with so many mods anyways

Yeah, @)*(, that's what I tried first. I only know how to do it by overwriting defines so it won't allow achievements, would that be okay?

could you possibly make a mod which makes all names on the map much smaller?

That was my first thought as well, and checked all the mod archives I have currently downloaded. None seems to have this file. I'll keep checking though, perhaps I missed one.

@UnDeadPuff if you have another mod that changes mapname.shader. That's literally the only file in it.

Do you know what could make this mod not work?

Ah. Much better. Kudos to you!
