More Variable Weather??!!

[Subtype Zero]

Kaleuns--
Everyone knows what they say about the weather in SH3: "Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it!" Sadly, I cannot report that I have "done" much of anything to fix the weather probs in SH3 either. However, after reading the forum and seeing the efforts of a few other "weather modders," I have made a few changes in the data/campaigns/campaign/Campaign.mis files to give me a more variable, dynamic, and yes, changeable weather experience than I thought otherwise possible.

Here are my settings:
Fog=1
FogRand=1
Clouds=1
CloudsRand=2 //2 allows for more dynamic cloud changes
Precip=1
PrecipRand=1
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=4.000000
WindRand=2 //2 allows for more dynamic wind speed and direction changes
WeatherRndInterval=2 //2 means SH3 will perform a "dice roll" every 2 hours to determine if the weather has changed.

Note: WeatherRndInterval can range from 1 to 72. I feel that setting this to "1" makes the weather too freakishly variable, while anything above "3" makes the weather maddingly boring. I also left FogRand to "1" because I feel that fog should hang around longer and not change so dramatically. CloudsRand and WindRand are left at "2" because clouds and wind seem to be the most variable IRL.

Be sure to copy these changes into all of the Campaign.mis folders for this to work. I hope some people will try these settings and let me know how they like (or don't like) them. You are also free to adjust to your own personal taste. Also, please note that I did not discover these variables or how they work. I'm just passing along information I've gleaned from some of the really smart people....
