Introducing:

The High Resolution Graphics Mod by LogicSequence

Do you like eye candy? Do you wish Galactic Civilizations 2 had Higher Resolution textures? Do you wish the planets and solar systems looked more realistic? Do you think your PC can HANDLE IT?

Welcome players of Galactic Civilizations 2, to The High Resolution Graphics Mod by LogicSequence. I've been developing this mod for some weeks now, and the time is near for it's release.

In short, this mod will:
Replace the textures for all the races' homeworlds with new, original higher resolution versions.
Replace all Class 0 planet textures with new, original higher resolution versions.
Replace all ring and moon textures with new, original higher resolution versions.
Replace all cloud textures with new, original higher resolution versions.
Include authentic all-new Raw Terrain maps for all of the races' homeworlds.
Add more color variation to the background nebulae.

This mod isn't for the older PC. Some of the textures in this mod are 4096 x 2048 pixels, and many are 2048 x 1024, or 1024 x 512. If your PC meets the recommended system requirements for Galactic Civilzations 2: Dark Avatar, you should be able to run this mod without any problems.

Logic i will alter the main page at the Core so that the mods link points directly to your new mod later today. The text on the link will say Hi-Res Mod if that is ok with you? That will save you the trouble of doing a page for the mod

That will be just fine Drengin, thanks again to you and The Galactic Core for hosting the mod!

More than welcome

This mod is a vast improvement on the basic game so much so that everyone who does not play the MV should use it!

Hi LogicSequence i don't know if i have done something wrong during installation but i'm not able to load the mod.
I installed the file.exe in TotalGaming/GC2/Dark Avatar, after i followed the instructions in the readme, but in mods folder there is no High Resoultion Pack i have just Default and Example. What have i done wrong?
Thanks
