Ringworld Graphical Enhancements

Overview Have you ever noticed that the ringworld from Origin: Shattered Ring is always the same colors (black with green) regardless of your ship appearance? This mod changes that - now your starting ringworld will be the same as your empire's ship appearance (graphical culture). However, ringworlds will always have a specific color based on the shipset rather than your empire's flag colors. Have you also noticed that repaired or constructed habitable ringworld sections don't have cloud cover? It turns out that PDX made changes to how the cloud animation mesh is attached to habitable ringworld sections between version 1. 6. 3 "Adams" and version 1. 9 "Boulle" and only updated the default habitable ringworld section. This mod fixes the entity definitions for every built-in shipset so that all habitable ringworld sections can enjoy cloud cover, regardless of which empire builds or restores them. Or maybe you noticed that the planetview for ringworlds displays a Gaia climate, but that the texture in the systemview uses continental terrain. Or that sometimes the terrain for habitable ringworld sections appears to be greyed-out and only show water sections? This mod now also addresses this inconsistency by applying the Gaia planet textures to habitable ringworld sections and adjusting the specular map to avoid they transparency/grayness issue. Changes This mod adds one extra event which is triggered for each empire with Origin: Shattered Ring at game start. The event switches the appearance of the starting ringworld to match the shipset selected by the empire, but has no gameplay impact. When shattered ring sections are fully repaired (as of 3. 1) the repaired section resets its graphical entity upon completion which results in the ringworld returning to the default graphics. To avoid this, the decision to restore a shattered ring section now keeps its graphics entity when changing its planet class to a real ringworld section. Also altered are the built-in graphic entity de
