Better Moon

Hi guys, this is my first Mod on Steam; so enjoy.

+++++++++++++++
Adds Wax/Wane cycle to the Moon animations so that you can tell whether Full Moon is coming or going.


+++++++++++++++
I fully intend only to release mods that I consider balanced, that don't make game play easier, or to fix what I perceive to be as issues or bugs that need addressing. I have a few ideas in mind. I might start on them with DevilXD If I ever get the time to.

I need to give the utmost thanks to my new friend DevilXD who I met on the Klei forums; I asked him to help me to learn how to mod, he basically did all the heavy lifting. So much so that I feel this is really his mod, now. I'm just uploading it on Steam for him, as his account is messed up somehow.


+++++++++++++++++++++++
This is called "Better Moon," basically because it is.
What it does;

1. The moon is visible 24h, so that you always have it as a reference point, you can look at it any time, just so that you know when the Full Moon is coming.

2. It adds a subtle yet important feature; waxing and waning of the moon. This adds 3 new sections into the animation, so that you can now tell when the Moon is approaching or leaving Full - previously you couldn't tell by looking at it if it was coming or going, now you can. These animations are subtle, the moon now shifts from left/right as it approaches/leaves full/new moon phases.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
We have added 3 new images into it's rotation cycle, along with naming the waning phases, which shouldn't affect other scripts - in fact it should fix some issues that you have with other scripts. This is due to the fact that the names and animations for wax/wane were the same in the code, so now you can use getstate() to read where the moon is in its' cycle with more accuracy.

Vanilla/RoG compatible.


Is there something that I have left out of my description? Have you found a bug? Like it or Loathe it? Then please leave a comment.
