The Texture-Replacement effect kind is a named effect container within a “mesh-table” Container. It can be used within the load subcontainer to provide alternative textures. The name of the texture-replacement effects subcontainer is selected by the content developer. It may be used as a reference in a script file to identify a specific effect.
The name of the texture that is to be replaced. This is the name of the texture file as used in the asset’s config.txt, without the .txt extension. For instance, if the texture to be replaced is identified in the ‘load-map.texture.txt’ file, then the texture tag in the effect container is “load-map.texture”.
A texture-replacement effect is often used when the texture of an asset should be changed during game play. For instance, when the load texture is to be replaced then this texture will be replaced by the texture contained in the product referenced in the current active product queue, as defined by the allowed-categories subcontainer in the queue. For instance, if a coal hopper loads at an industry asset that produces a bulk-load other than its default load (eg woodchips at a lumbermill), then the woodchip product texture will replace the default coal product texture

This script switches textures based on game time. So it switches between night and day mode.
