Enhanced Galaxy - Dark Core

This is a graphics only re-worked galaxy color and nebula clouds. There is no bright galactic core, perfect for games with stars in the galaxy core or just to get rid of the pixelated, overbright center. As an added bonus, the 1.3mb center.dds file has been replaced with a tiny file (no promises on performance increases).

The galaxy color image itself is not shown in-game, instead it is used to colorize the "space dust" effect. With darker colors the dust clouds are less prominent.

This mod only alters image files, it will have no impact on save games and can be edabled/disabled without any issues. It will only conflit with other mods that also alter the galaxy color or nebula clouds. It is very likely that it will continue to function through any game updates even if the game reports this mod as being out-of-date.
