This is Xmod01 Beta and made by Xeryx. This is an HD space retexture mod that is compatible with SFC2 and 3

I went through all of the Space.Mod files from both games and came away with 42 useful models. The rest are junk and are not used.

High definition textures were used from NASA, ESE, and the Hubble site. These are open source and can be used freely for PRIVATE use. Thank you for the great textures! All of the textures have been resized and retouched by me to be useful in the game. They are pretty nice, and light years ahead of what is available out there currently.

You will notice that there are now black blank textures tiles included in many places. There are a couple of reasons I used them instead of HD textures and distortion is the main one, that is now fixed with Beta 2. However, In some cases, I have also chosen to keep scenes from getting too busy. Many of the textures are large to very large and do not need to be cluttered. I have included a list of the textures used for all models. Feel free to experiment if you like, but be aware that there are some models that share textures and I would suggest you leave those alone. You will also find out quickly that you can't just plop a texture down on a tile. Many tile panels distort and clip images in certain places, and it will take some experimentation to find the right texture for the right panel.

UPDATE Beta 2: I have been correcting the stock textures to lay correctly on the standard SFC2 Space.Mods.  98% of the poor texturing is reduced to a minimum. Although there is still a lot of work to do, I am going to release the fixed models for the beta 2.

Future Beta 3: I plan on creating new space models and will also implement UHD textures when appropriate. I am also going to create a depth to the space scape if it is the last thing I ever do.

A big thank you goes out to d4vk1s, TarMinyatur,  Capt. Adam, TAnimaL and JanB at Dynaverse for making the HD mods for SFC2:EAW, SFC2:OP, SFC3 For without them, I NEVER would have revisited and kept playing this game.
