About this mod This is a small and simple to use utility that allows you to turn all your favourite images/pictures into base building decorations in No Man's Sky. This has been a long requested feature by many players including me, so i made a small utility that does exactly this till its officially implemented in vanilla game.

--PICTURES/IMAGES TO BASE BUILD DECORATION CONVERTER FOR NO MANS SKY NEXT--





ABOUT: This is a small and simple to use utility that allows you to turn all your favourite images/pictures into base building decorations in No Man's Sky. This has been a long requested feature by many players including me. other games like Subnautica already

have this as a vanilla feature. so, till Hello games implements something similar to that, this utility should fill that gap, atleast for PC users.





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



GAME VERSION SUPPORTED: 1.59,1.58 OF NO MANS SKY NEXT

The files necessary for this mod are one of the most commonly updated files. so the mod will only support Public builds of the game and there wont be any support for experimental versions of the game.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





IMAGE FORMATS ACCEPTED:

The utility only accepts JPG/jpg/png/PNG formats, since those are the formats that are readable by the game.

if you have any images that are not any of the above formats, you can use the following free image converter to convert the images to jpg/png formats.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: MUST READ BEFORE USE!



1)use latest version of winrar/7zip to extract the downloaded zip file. Make sure the folder you extract to has read/write permissions. otherwise it wont work.



2)in the extracted folder, you will have a folder called "YOURIMAGES" . You need to place all images you want to make into decorations, into that folder.



3)then in the extracted folder, you will have a exe called "PICCONVERTER.exe" . run that executable once you finish the step 3.



4) Thats it. now you just need to wait for 10 or so seconds , (wait till the console window of the executable to close) . Then you will have a mod file called "_MOD_GAMER_SCREENSHOTS_TO_PICTURE_FRAMES.pak".



5) place the "_MOD_GAMER_SCREENSHOTS_TO_PICTURE_FRAMES.pak" in the MODS folder of your NMS installation and play.



MAKE SURE TO DELETE THE DISABLEMODS.TXT file in the PCBANKS folder. otherwise mods wont work.





NOTE: there is a upper limit of 600 total images. anything above that number is not supported for now.





The utility has been tested working on any windows 10 build. it has not been tested on windows 8 and lower. but i guess it will work.





Also if the program gets flagged by your AV(antivirus), its a false flag. the program has been scanned by both mcaffe,windows defender,malwarebytes and showed no issues. if your AV flags it, then the AV subscription is a waste of your money. i have been modding NMS ever since the game

came out (2 years till now) , so i have no need to put any malware or stuff in the program. If you still dont want feel safe to use it, just run it inside a virtual machine.

INGAME USAGE:





Inside the game build menu, the images will show up as decoration items under the "decoration" category. in survival/nomal mode, each picture will cost 1 carbon to build. its free to build in creative mode.



There will be five subcategories as below.



1)SMALL_PICTURE_FRAMES: normal sized picture frames, for use as wall decoration inside cube rooms

2)MEDIUM_PICTURE_FRAMES: medium sized picture frames, 2x size of small picture frames.

2)LARGE_PICTURE_FRAMES: large sized picture frames, 4x size of small picture frames.

2)HUGE_PICTURE_FRAMES: huge sized picture frames, 6x size of small picture frames.

2)MEGA_PICTURE_FRAMES: mega sized picture frames, 10x size of small picture frames.





Proper picture frames will be added once NMSDK gets Updated for NEXT. till then , it will be a simple picture without any proper frames.
