Ultra+ Graphics [DISCONTINUED]

Quick edit #2 as of 02/02/2022: This mod shall remain unfinished as Konix_PY did a much better and actually finished version of what this mod originally aimed to be. I recommend downloading his mod instead. I will keep mine up for the 4096x Wraps only.
Quick edit as of 10/27/2021: I've been getting messages if this mod is abandoned because I never updated it. Y'all are right, I never did, because uni doesn't allow me to, nor do my ongoing mental health issues. That being said, the mod is not "abandoned", I do have plans of updating it, LATER.

Usage guide:

Open Frosty Mod Manager (not the Editor!)

Contains:

-4096 WRAPS
- This mod increases the resolution of all wraps in the game by 4 times - from 2048x2048 to 4096x4096.
-DYNAMIC SHADOWS
- This mod re-enables dynamic shadows cast by most streetlights and other light sources.
- Note: I am aware that there are still some lights which don't cast shadows. I plan to improve upon this in a future update, but for now, this will do.
