This mod adds to the existing one sunset by extrapolating from the existing daylight skies.
Currently, there are 40 different settings for daylight skies, and only one sunset. I took the difference of that one sunset with the first day sky (the most "normal" one), and applied it to every other sky, to create 39 more sunset colors. The result is fancy INTENSE sunsets.
Sadly, there is no actual correlation between what day sky the game chooses for each planet and what dusk sky, as I'd hoped, so a green sky does not necessarily fade into a green-generated sunset, but the variety is there.
I also have no way of knowing if the game actually uses the entire 40-long collection, or just from a few of the entries. But it appears to work.
Additionally, I tweaked the sun and light colors for every day sky, to better match the sky color. The game has the same sun color for every sky, and only very slightly different light colors. However, it turns out this is almost imperceptible, and may be removed in the future, to eliminate the dependency on the dayskycolours file. removed
The results are NOT slight, subtle or realistic in any way ( I don't think.. maybe if there are weird and exotic gasses in the atmosphere?)
Sunsets don't last very long, though, and I thought a bit of gaudiness wouldn't be too bad. It remains to be seen if this turns out to be too tiring.
Incompatible with anything that modifies :
- METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/WEATHER/SKYSETTINGS/DAYSKYCOLOURS.MBIN * removed
- METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/WEATHER/SKYSETTINGS/DUSKSKYCOLOURS.MBIN
