Better Night Lights

Description
A simple graphical mod that changes the night lights visible on the dark side of inhabited planets to a Cyan colour.


About
It always bugged me that despite the FTL technologies, Ring worlds and giant death fleets equiped with high technology, the cities on the planets appear to still use yellow incandescent bulbs, and remain in a messy jumble. This simple mod changes the vanilla night light texture to give your inhabited worlds a more high technology appearance.

Changes
  • Changes vanilla night lights texture

Notes
  • The night light texture is mostly hard coded, so I can't really vary the colour, or change the light colour based on technological progression as I originally intended.
  • A similar mod exists here.

Is this mod still required at all?

hey sam, this mod has been making my game crash. I did some debugging and figured out that it is an issue with the metadata, where it says that its version compatability is 2.*.* - i dont see why this is an issue but apparently it is. Just a heads up!

Is this client sided or does every one need to have it to play MP with it ? @Sam_

That's right

Ah. So the more building slots unlocked, the more "developed" the world will look?

The texture shifts opacity based on building slots unlocked, so you are able to "hide" different light levels in one texture.

Got a bit of a question/concern here... I look at your first picture (the one of a normal Continental Earth), and I see a lot of detail, a lot of lights. For me, it doesn't look anything like that. I just see the bold, equatorial circles, but none of the smaller bits. Could there be another mod in the way? Am I otherwise missing something? Here's how it looks for me:

Thanks in advance!
