When trying to access reflections tab script crashes everytime

Hi! The script hasn't been yet updated for the latest version of XP12 so crashes can occur.

Hi! I haven't tested this on 12.06 but I'm pretty sure that it will not work. I will update the script when I have time to do it 😊

The cloud adjustment sliders are SO HELPFUL to getting the clouds looking just to taste. The only things I would like to see added are the contrast adjustment and a few other fixes present in a competing script, RXP XP12 Enhancer.

Thank you! I will have to look into it 😊

The RXP XP12 Enhancer source code is obviously MIT licensed, so as long as you give proper attribution and credit, it is perfectly fine with me!
