Realistic Sunshine Fix

Description
This "fixes" the Sunshine reflection on water. Instead of shining from the North-West, which doesn't make sense, the sun now shines from the South-East, where the shadows on everything are cast from.

Yes, it's not letting me use it because it thinks it's out-of-date.

Not sure how the "Legacy" thing works. I guess it doesn't let you use it?
I haven't touched HD in a long time. I prefer UP to HD, so I haven't even had HD installed for years.

The game considers this mod legacy now. Do you think you could update it?

If you think about how you would see the light reflection on the surface of the waves at a distance then you would expect to see the hilight opposide the direction of the Sun because the rays are being reflected back at you.

Most people assume North is Up unless told otherwise. :P

Actually, the mini-map north doesn't necessarily suggest north. There is no indication of "north" anywhere near the mini-map. It's sensible only if you assume that. In fact considering the mini-map is a diamond shape (or rotated square), you could assume that the right side is north facing and so the sun shining isn't incorrect, really. Just the way you see it.

Works great. (I use Manu's HD Textures)

What this changes is the sky_hemisphere.png file, so try installing your texture pack and then installing this over the top (Delete the mod files, unsubscribe and resubscribe after installing your texture pack)

To be honest I am not sure. But when I turn on the texture mod the light goes back to default position.
