I figured I would save you the time since I already merged it myself...no need to have more than one person's eyes bleed while doing this very tedious work.

DynEnv 2.1 SkyColor Hotfix DarkerNights

I only merged the relevant info from darker nights: SkyColorMultiplier, AmbientColor_Multiplier, UnderWaterUpAlpha and UnderWaterDownAlpha.

Thank you Captain America,
my paining eyes appreciate very much your contribution!

Yes, doubly my bad... Volodya had already warned me of this oversight via PM (thank you again mate!), but then I forgot to report it on this thread

Whenever I load a saved game my weather gets stuck: it's always clear, medium fog, no wind. It stays like that wherever I go on the map. It's calm and foggy forever. Is this a known bug?

Not really dynamic if I always have to breathe this filthy fog.

Hello Magic

that mod by stoianm was already made compatible and included in Dynamic Environment base version, while the standalone version (the one posted by Magic) shouldn't be mixed with DynEnv, or weird things including CTDs can happen.

Hi Sartoris,

weather resetting to medium fog everytime a saved game is loaded is a known SH5 bug, since it seems that the game is not saving weather parameters within te savegame. It is an hardcoded feature, and admitting that it can be fixed, only TDW could do it.

DynEnv addresses this problem indirectly through the mod mentioned by Magic, that reduces the time interval between weather changes. The problem is that when a new weather is generated, it is possible that the new weather is again foggy.

The question that you should answer now is: is DynEnv making things better or worse than stock game?

YEp.. it is a game bug.. when you reload a saved game you will have bad forecast and most of the time fog even when you saved you had nice weather... try to save again and reload.. sometimes it is working. The bug amplified by dynamic environemet it is the wrong report made in weather report.. for example if is raining outside in the game, in weather report could be writting sunny day outside .. but after few minutes will come back to normal.

Aaah, okay, I couldn´t remember anymore...

Thx for clarify!

BTW: Can a moderator please change the Thread-Title from WIP into [REL] please?!

Best regards,

@Gap, stoianm and everybody else:

Thanks for the feedback! I tried reloading several times but it doesn't seem to help. At least now I know it's a common bug, and not something that just happens to me. Hopefully TDW will have time in the future to look into this. It can be quite immersion-breaking because hunting in a fog all the time gets kind of tedious after a while.

Sure, you can use the 4 bearings method and just rely on your hydrophone when firing torpedoes, but when you're hunting a big convoy with multiple engine sounds overlapping, it can be difficult to make out your target.

And it does get quite creepy after a while: the world is always grey, foggy and completely still.

I can fix that for you easy from filters... or you can install my color mod that sober is using .. it is in his mod soup.. this can be a quiq and easy fix for beginig

[stoianm]

I think i found a fix for those that have problems when they have grey sky when is a sunny day (with no fog too). The fix is a combination of mods:

1)Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal ) V2.1 (here u can use anny version of the mod)
2)stoianm colored exterior mod v2 (low color)
3)DynEnv 2.1 SkyColor Hotfix DarkerNights
4)sobers best ever fog V13 SH5
5)sobers Lights Cfg V4 SH5

I tested this combination and i had all time a nice blue sky... after the persons that have the problem with grey sky and they will try this fix, will report ''problem solved'' than i will make a new version of the base mod and u will not need to install all those mods. (after i will force sober when he is not ''sober'' to give up to me the last 2 mods from that fix mods list ).

[sober]

Incorporate any of my mods that you need . I would rather one environment mod .
