I followed the JSGME procedure for GWX2.

However, I plan to wait until next time I am in port to install the modded files. Just curious is that necessary? Or can this be applied while on patrol?

Thanks for making this. I am looking forward to some improved weather.

Nice work Subtype Zero and Stiebler
Good to see you still around and modding too Stiebler :yep:

Will have to try this out real soon

very interesting....will try this out on a secondary installation http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

I guess it doesn't work with GWX2 and the 16k mod then, at least not on my install.

I'd love it for someone to come back here and prove me wrong though as I'd really like to use this.

Stiebler,

For folks with multiple installs, do we have any issues? The executable when placed in the DATA folder will only write to the scene.dat file correct...or does it also write to the saved game files in the MY DOCUMENTS folders?

Thanks great work!

No problems with 16km mod!
 

I just tested RWF with GWX 1.03 16km and did not have any problems, so my guess is that the problem is installation related. RWF only writes new hex values to certain weather related parameters, so there should be no conflict with GWX unless scene.dat has been altered in some way so that RWF writes to the wrong hex locations. Always remember to roll back SHCommander before installing any mod, including this one. Further, to be on the safe side until we figure this out, ONLY install RWF while in port and before launching the game.

Thanks for this great mod. Will try it in the weekend and will revert.

GWX2 - RealWeatherFix mod: Reported problems
 

If you are using GWX2, do NOT use RealWeatherFix mod.

scende.dat scrapped
 

Hi guys,
after some tries I´ve finally successfully managed to scrap my scene.dat during installation. :damn:
There is no chance to roll back to the running version, let´s say ... its simply lost.
To avoid the full installation procedure I´d kindly ask you to upload a plain GWX2 scene.dat. Is this possible?
Thanks a lot for helping out of this!!

Here you go:

thanks !
 

@Clash: Thanks a lot. GWX is working again...the hunt can go on:p. I guess you´ve saved me wasting two hours re-installation time.:yep:

Thanks for looking into this and confirming the error. Looking forward to a GWX2 compatible version in the future, I hope. :up:

GWX-2 + RealWeatherFix mod: Problem resolved.
 

The problem with GWX2 - RealWeatherFix mod lies in the fact that I was testing with the wrong file scene.dat for GWX2. The real one is *twice* as long! As a result, maximum buffer size allocated in the mod was too small for GWX. The GWX-2 file is an incredible 905 Kbytes. The cause of the problem was that the GWX-2 file was being truncated. [So why not use a dynamic buffer size? Static buffer sizes are normally much more robust.]


I've fixed this problem - trivial enough - and am testing now. The GWX-2 file loads uneventfully now.

A single patrol from Kiel with GWX-2 was also uneventful.

Apologies to all GWX-2 users for my blunder. A replacement mod 'RealWeatherFix2.zip' will be available from the previous filefront address by the end of today (UK time).
