Better Backdrops

Description
Simple mod that changes the backdrops for Tomb worlds and Ecumenopolises. The latter has a smoggier look that better fits a planet-spanning city, and the former looks the same overall but have the cities looking dimmer to reflect the realities of nuclear winter.

Overwrites 00_planet_classes. Should be compatible with anything else.

I was able to fix the MacOS issue by opening colorcorrection_nuked.dds in GIMP, removing the alpha channel, then exporting as BCS / DXT5 without any mipmaps.

Thank you for the mod!

On MacOS the cities on tomb worlds are all bright green; I'm guessing there's something off about colorcorrection_nuked.dds that doesn't work on Macs?

Cool, thanks for the info. :steamhappy:

@AstroCat Some vanilla planet classes have a different backdrop if it's a moon. I enabled it for all of them (that are applicable, anyway). The feature seems to be wip still but it works well enough to use.

In 00_planet_classes you have uses_alternative_skies_for_moons set to yes but default is set to no. What does this change exactly? Thanks.

@Yogington If Real Space modifies 00_planet_classes, then this will not be compatible with it. Sorry.

This mod combined with Real Space breaks real space's scaling specifically with the machine intelligence Alpha Refuge homeworld making it so the parts of the ring world are tiny, any ideas why?

@Palynium Not at the moment. Are there any planets from those mods that you think would benefit from this?
