High Quality Skyboxes II

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

YOU NEED TO INSTALL THIS MOD AFTER TSLRCM/M4-78EP!

I highly recommend you also get the fog fix: https://deadlystream.com/topic/5345-fog-and-speed-blur-fix-for-the-2016-tsl-patch/

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.

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.

Currently I'm on Dantooine and the skybox backdrop for the militia mission is glitching and freezing the game

@Archmage_Bael: Since the Steam workshop for Kotor is really terrible, it's very likely that the original Coruscant mod just takes precedence over mine. You need to install this mod after the Coruscant mod, so you can try unsubscribing and resubscribing, maybe that will force Steam to change the mod priority. AFAIK there is unfortunately no other way to handle this.

where's the coruscant skybox remaster? I have both this mod and the coruscant one but the old coruscant skybox is still the same

Thanks, good job!

@darthquell:
It comes with those skyboxes but make sure to install this mod AFTER M4-78EP or your skyboxes will be screwed up
DarthQuell 19 Jul, 2021 @ 9:04am 
Does this automatically come with new skyboxes for M4-78? Or is there a separate file I must download?

I really like what you have done wit this mod, but I'm pretty sure it also broke M4-78. When I began the radiation purification quest, I began to get these strange transitions where my droid character would hot to different places, or straight to dialog with the net character in the quest. Then, after I enter the corect code I get fade to black in which the pause menu's are still active, and the quest has not advanced in the journal. If I save at that point and load the save, the quest hasn't advanced, but the computer terminal tells me I have entered the correct code. When I removed the mod, the issues disappeared.
