NOTE: The game has redesigned the 3d models used for the helmet interiors so this addon is no longer needed.
For the game Take On Mars, this mod changes the fabric of the interior of the helmets to a dark felt material similar to gray Alcantara. Three textures replaced including the bump and normal maps. Continue reading Helmet Interior Upgrade – Gray Alcantara
In my Low Earth Orbit Reture mod for Take on Mars, I upgraded the cloud textures to 8K resolution and updated the normal maps as well. I was able to find the actual original cloud map used by the devs which was in 8K resolution. So I used that original to create new and improved textures.

This mod changes the clouds and the lights on the Low Earth Orbit map. 12 textures have been modified.
I reduced the overall haze on the planet and I made the lighter parts of the clouds more transparent. The whitest parts of the clouds are at the same level as the vanilla version so you still have nice looking clouds. Overall, it’s a less cloudy day down there on Earth.
The vanilla lights were way too bright in my opinion as they were pulsing as all bright lights seem to do in this game. So I brought their brightness way down. Clusters of lights especially on the east coast of the US and in western Europe were so bunched together that they had no detail. They were just blobs. So I brought them into Photoshop and added pixellation to them to create more detail. I also added an orange filter as sodium light seems to make it out to orbit the most from the photos I’ve seen. There’s a bug in the game where sun-lit areas still have the electric lights visible. So I reduced the overall brightness of all of the lights to help with this problem.

This is a texture replacement for the Manned Mobile Lab. I’ve replaced almost all of the textures inside and out.
The idea behind the changes is that exterior airlock doors should be marked with a bright color to indicate their importance. I’ve also added caution stripes around the edges of interior doors to avoid pinched fingers. Some doors would be used for rescue purposes, so I’ve added instructions for rescue procedures, explosive bolts and other safety items. Ramp and door edges have received the requesite NO STEP and CAUTION warnings where appropriate. There’s even a bumper sticker!
I’ve painted the exterior lighting frames white so they are easier to work with in dark and dusty environments if the lights need to be replaced or reaimed. I’ve replaced the interior flourescent bulbs with LED panels as flourescents do not make sense to me. I’ve also added LEDs to the tail lights.
I’ve noticed that the colors of the vehicle are more or less saturated depending on the map, time of day, storm conditions, etc. So on Earth and the Moon maps, the red color really stands out. But on the pale blueish lighting of the polar caps, the red looks more like a rust color.
I changed the color of the interior flooring from metal to dark gray/black so as to simulate rubber flooring. I’m not very good at bump mapping so the original texture can still be seen from certain lighting angles, but I’m working on replacing that.
The original gold wheels have been changed to a darker gray/black color inside and out but I did leave the edge of the rim coated in gold where it meets the rubber for better thermal management at that potential weak point.
