This is an edit of iCad's Great Sky Project and Animated Wispy Clouds so that they now pass by a bit slower.

I'm personally not a fan of skyboxes that are opaque domes with a custom sky, but I absolutely love having these floating clouds in front of the default sky, so these have always been my go-to, especially the 'Animated Mixed Puffs'. They just moved a bit too fast for my taste, so I reduced the speed.

I was inspired by plumbobbled's slower edits of the original clouds from the The Great Sky of Totalitarianism Redux before the Ultimate Update, I don't think the fast-moving originals are even available to download anymore as they were replaced with different looking and much slower moving clouds in the Ultimate Update, but I like having Plumbobbled's Slower and Slowest Edits of the Redux one as well as alfsi & alfsi2 clouds from the Ultimate Update available to choose from too. I'm just not a fan of the whole domes in that set personally. I was able to make the edit when lowedeus kindly told me how when I reblogged plumbobbled's post asking how. So, I changed the stdMatTextureCoordTfAnimTransSpeed in the TXMT to 0.002000 instead of 0.003000. 0.002000 is the same as Plumbobbled's Slower version, and as the alfsi clouds in The Great Sky of Totalitarianism Ultimate (alfsi2 looks different and is slower).

I'm considering making an even slower version, setting the stdMatTextureCoordTfAnimTransSpeed to 0.001000 instead (the same as Plumbobbled's Slowest version) or even 0.000900 (the same as alfsi2), so let me know if you'd be interested in that!
