[WIP] - SH3Weather Update 1.5

[Skweetis]

RELEASED!!! LINKS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!!!

Hi All,

Im back after a long break, the birth of my son last year has demanded much of my time. This resulted in some neglect of the SH3Weather application, which I have corrected now for the upcoming release.

Here is a list of what has been changed for version 1.5

- Adjustment of random weather values/intervals based on personal testing, user suggestions and positive feedback of the GWX default weather settings.
- Implemented full installation package.
- Corrected issue with WINDRAND= key being removed from scenario files if October or November are selected for patrol month. (thanks to Lurker_hlb3 for finding this one)

**Additional features ONLY available when used with SH3Commander 2.6 or greater**
- Read Month and Flotilla when launched via SH3Commander and select them automatically. User will still be able to manually configure weather through the SH3Weather 1.5 interface, but not month or flotilla.

Note: This program writes directly to specific values in your campaign (*.mis) files rather than overwrite the entire file itself, and therefore is compatable with any mod(s) that you may have installed. Source code for the SH3Weather program (written in Visual Basic 6 SP6) is freely available to anyone who PM's me for it, PROVIDED NO PART OF THE CODE OR PROGRAM IS USED FOR COMMERCIAL/FINANCIAL GAIN. SH3Weather is provided free of charge, with no warranties or guarantees, express or implied.

Jscones has also been generous in offering to host the SH3Weather program on his site, as has Mr_Chris via FileFront, so the new version will be easier for most users to get than the current RapidShare option. The addresses for download will be made available when the release is built.

Also, please PLEASE PLEASE!!!! use this thread only to notify me of problems or suggestions with the version you are using. BE SURE TO LET ME KNOW WHICH VERSION IT IS!!!!

Thanks to all for your patience in my absence, and for the support and encouragement many of you have given me.

If you have any questions or support issues related to SH3Weather, you can PM me here at subsim.com

Thanks a million to Lurker_hlb3, TheLuckyOne17 and Jscones for their invaluable help in testing, troubleshooting and guidance in producing this upcomming version. Extra special thanks to Jscones and Mr_Chris for hosting!
