[TSL] HIGH QUALITY SKYBOXES II
by Kexikus
=========================================================================

ABOUT:
This mod replaces every skybox and every planetary backdrop in the game with a new high resolution version made from scratch.
This includes a replacement of every skybox model to fix all the glaring issues with the original.
There are also some additional minor changes that either fix issues with the vanilla environments or serve to better blend ingame terrain and skybox.
Other than that I recommend you just check out the screenshots as pictures say more than a thousand words :) or check the video to see the animated skyboxes.

You can find additional screenshot comparisons here: https://kexikus.github.io/HQSkyboxes_TSL_Comparison/

There are also add-ons with new skyboxes for the following mods:

- M4-78 Enhancement Pack
- Coruscant Jedi Temple

If you find any issues or have any other comments, please let me know and I'll see what can be done.

INSTALLATION:

IF YOU UPDATE FROM 1.0.x TO 1.1:
Check the backup folder created during your initial installation of this mod for .mod files and compare it with this list: 231tel.mod, 233tel.mod, 306nar.mod, 401dxn.mod, 402dxn.mod, 403dxn.mod, 410dxn.mod, 504ond.mod, 510ond.mod, 601dan.mod, 701kor.mod, 901mal.mod to check which files you do NOT find. Delete the files that you did NOT find from the modules folder in your TSL installation. Any changes made to these modules by mods installed after this one will be lost. Sorry about that.
If you are using TSLRCM this should be at most 401dxn.mod and 510ond.mod depending on other mods you might be using.
Then proceed with the normal installation of this mod.

If you have a previous version of this mod installed, remove it before installing the new version or you might run into some issues.
For installation instructions check the read-me files of the individual downloads. You either have to run an installer or just drop files into your Override folder. For the mod to take full effect you need a savegame where you have not yet left Citadel Station.

COMPABILITY:
This mod is not compatible with any mod that edits skyboxes in any way. This includes mods that only edit their models. There might also be rare incompabilities with mods that edit non-skybox area models if those models are also edited by this mod.

PERMISSIONS:
You may NOT redistribute any textures included in this archive without my explicit permission. You may however use all the models as long as you give me credit.

CHANGELOG:
1.0 Initial release of High Quality Skyboxes II
1.0.1 Fixed some compression issues with the Nar Shaddaa skybox
1.1 Fixed an issue where dialogs would break in many modules, most notably 401dxn and 510ond
1.1.1 Fixed an issue where players could not leave the Nar Shaddaa cantina
1.2 Hopefully fixed an issue that would cause certain models to crash the game on Mac and mobile
