Alternate Space Horizon 2 v1.0.0.0 Read Me

This is a new type of space horizon form Adobe that has been upscaled using https://imgupscaler.com/ for a better res-demo image. It is in 8k quality. Upscaling is by no means the full quality of the image but is a good alternative, if you do have adobe, and some track makers do, feel free to enjoy the full quality image on your tracks as a .mip

-Made by Myself (MeandMe AKA Monkeyape)

-Remember, use the flipped version if you do not want it to appear on your track in reverse as shown in the example image.

-Priority is whacked up to four from WinMip2 as usual for a sharper image in NR2003.

Installation

Place the alternate horizon folder in your track folder so you do not lose it. (Day versions in one folder and night versions in the other) Place each horizon folder named Horizons 3D and keep a digital note on whether they are flipped or not.

Simply place in the stars.mip, horiz.3do and sky.3do in your track folder outside the DAT file of the track, e.g. moon_night (or any night track if you like!).

Important Note: Leave the horiz.3do and black.mip out if using my moon track or if you wish to keep the horizon of your track and just change the sky. Remember as of yet this is for night tracks only.

If track has files outside the DAT File + unpack, open

Remember to back up all the original horiz.3do, horiz01.mip, horiz02.mip, horizon.mip, ground_n2k3.mip ground, sky.3dos and mips first, (If GPL horizon, it would be: horiz0.mip to horiz11.mip, ground.mip, horiz.3do, sky.3do, sky.mip), then place the alternate stars.mip, horiz and sky in it's place; do the same if you also have unpack open in your tracks folder.

Again, leave the original horiz.3do and black.mip if you wish to keep the horizon as mentioned above.

Remember, using the flipped version appears as it does in the sample image, but either is good.

Here is an example of how it looks:

You would probably want to change the Earth at Rainbow Road to something different, but do not worry, I have some moons and planet textures coming in a download eventually.

Reflection files no longer included as they are too heavy. Instead use this: -https://www.mediafire.com/file/e3e9hfosywfor0o/Generic_Sky_Reflections.7z/file Generic reflections from Zmodeler. These may be shiny and more so if you use ReShade.
Removing these would revert the flies back to normal. These are optional as the default sky should also work.

Bugs

Not really a bug, but you do see more of the horizon with PTA physics. (Same with any XL horizons).

I might convert the horizon to GPL 3do format but even if I can, I am having a slight issue with quality when turning a 24bmp to a 256bmp for GPL mips at the moment, also issues with ASE23DO increasing the vertices. (SRMZ Note)
