Well, one of the reasons I didn't do that myself is that if EP or similar is installed afterwards, it may end up overriding t2skies. ./FAM is almost foolproof.
Even though it's a bit untidy, IMHO the best thing to do would be to install the stuff in ./FAM, with confirmation from the user if anything needs to be overwritten.

Thanks for the reply. As soon as I consider adding EP to Tafferpatcher too, I think I can handle the issue. Also I plan to add some sort of configuration utility for darkinst.cfg, to help users to set the priority for the installed mods without having to edit darkinst.cfg directly.

Sounds excellent. In that case the t2skies stuff should be put into a t2skies.crf file which would go into the RES directory (just like EP.crf).

The EP doesn't go into res. Plus, the next version of the EP will be a folder, not a crf, due to the fact that ddfix won't find .ovverride files inside a .crf.

My mistake ... I must have moved it into res myself, for some reason.

jermi, is there a way to release a FM with both old sky and an enhanced version?
Or would the option require manual switching, or a change to Darkloader(to load an enhanced version if available)?
I have a mission that I spent quite a bit or time on the old sky(Distant Art), but was thinking about an enhanced version too.

Isn't that exactly what the .override files are for?

I was unaware of .override files(haven't been following the ddfix thread)
I current have 2 distant art images(non repeating) 256x256 TGA, if I'm overriding them with 1024x256 TGA or DDS files, is there also an alteration that I have to do to the .mis file?

No.
I'd imagine they work just like any other override. You place the high-res image in the appropriate location and get the DDFix GUI to create a .override file for the texture.

Hmm, now that I've gotten around to it, your t2skies patch doesn't even work. The stars work, but cluster up. That's all; no new clouds, skybox or moon.
Cluster up how? No change at all to clouds and moon?
