USBQ - Ultracite Scorched Beast Queen

SBQ is boss in this game but only uses blurry 1K textures barely slightly different from any other SB around :

Sometimes I even wonder which one is the queen while fighting many of them...

This mod includes a (1K/2K/4K/8K) custom texture pack and 9 possible glowing color schemes so you can now customize your queen to make it as she is from really long-time plagued with ultracite.

Even if a scientific explanation might be related, Vanilla Fallout 76 ultracite color really seems random as going from blue to yellow/green..?

Thus, just pick your favorite color !

On my own, I enjoy very much the "Atoll" one because I feel it just works great with the lore ( SBQ is the only creature from which you can directly loot ultracite ore at death, without even using acid, and this is closed to the ore color ) and I find it the best one artistically ( not glowing too much, still really visible within the nuked area orange sky, and it fits pretty well with the white toxic clouds the queen drops )

You might upload your own pictures / medias, with another color theme if you find one to better suit your expectations ?

► To update, just replace the 2 .ba2 files used in previous 1. 0 version.

1. 1 add better gradients from skin to ultracite for wings, guts and claws. Also move some ultracite stones.

In 1. 0 only 4K was available ; Maybe you needed lower version and here it is, if not, you might then test the 8K version :

Compared to vanilla 1K during 1080p tests with game max visuals options ( I am also using NVIDIA Inspector with settings : no-vsynch, 45 FPS cap & textures filtering mode "performance" ) I had some framerate drops but it is hard to know for sure if it was related or not to the 8K texture set as from one test to another it didn't happen each time ; Here is my bet :  ≃ -5 FPS impact - on config : Intel Core i5-2500K @3. 30Ghz /16Gb RAM /Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB /DISK SSD

► To install, open the . 7z and extract USBQ_Textures.ba2 and ONLY ONE of the .ba2 file from the "GlowingColor-ChooseOnlyOne" folder.

You might pick your color thanks to the "USBQ-readme.png" included ; Remember the result will always be a bit lighter than the chosen color as glow is kind of a gradient process. Move the 2 files to the fallout76 Data directory, and, as for any other mod, add their names separated with a comma to the sResourceArchive2List list in your custom.ini file.

► You're absolutely free to do whatever you want with these files ( as long as for FO76 of course ) :

Modifying them, including them in a pack, etc... No need for you to ask or/and wait for my authorization.

Maybe, if you do so, and
