i just finished a patrol which included a 3 week storm. i was using an edited campaign_file http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=96710
along with SH3 weather but i just found out that this mod randomizes that file everytime it runs.

this was my patrol file after sh3 weather had altered it

[Mission]
Title=
MissionType=0
MissionDataType=1
Year=1939
Month=1
Day=1
Hour=12
Minute=0
Fog=3
FogRand=2
Clouds=1
CloudsRand=0
Precip=0
PrecipRand=2
WindHeading=145
WindSpeed=6
WindRand=2
WeatherRndInterval=11
SeaType=0
Briefing=

could someone please tell me what all these settings do? for eg cloudsRand is at 0, does this mean that the clouds will never change?
Precip is a 0 yet it did rain on patrol.

and what are the differences withthe 3 different files in the campaign folder?

There was a readme? I never found one. Could you send me a copy if you get one?

Thanks

mr chris 11-01-06 07:07 AM

Here is the readme for anyone who is missing it.:up:

Created so that I could quickly and easily have random weather at the start of a patrol, without having to go in and manually edit the .mis files everytime
THIS PROGRAMME EDITS SH3 FILES!!!
BE SURE TO BACKUP your Campaign_SCN.mis, Campaign_RND.mis and Campaign_LND.mis files before using this utility!!!! Better safe than sorry!
---Version History
1.02 - 01/31/06 - RELEASE FIX and UPDATE
-Fixed problem where manual values weren't updating (spelling error in CASE)
1.01 - 01/30/06 - RELEASE FIX and UPDATE
-Fixed bug that didnt allow weather to change.
-added background image.
-added log file for diagnostics.

1.00 - 01/27/06 - RELEASE

---Installation
Simply place the SH3_WeatherGen.exe in your Silent Hunter III folder, then Right Click on it, select Send To... and choose Desktop(create shortcut) Then simply run the shortcut prior to launching SH3.
---Usage
Double click the shortcut you created above.
Select the month your patrol will start in, use the random option, or put in your own weather manually. If you are sailing in the mediterranean, select the 29th Flotille option.
The Interval for weather changes is randomly set if either option is run, hopefully providing a more random weather experience.

---Known Issues
If there is rain at start of patrol, WO will be "frozen" in position, unable to move. This is a problem with SH3, not the Weather utility. To resolve, simply wait until you are far enough from port that your lookouts begin using their binoculars, then remove and replace your WO to the bridge. He should move as normal.

---Credits and thanks
Shouts out to Hartmann at the Subsim Forums for all his help with file/weather information!
Thanks to the following at subsim for lending their time and efforts in helping me test this and providing feedback:
Panama Red, kriller2
Extra special thanks to Jaesen Jones for helping me optimise the code, and for teaching me a few new coding tricks, and helping me become a better and more efficient hobby programmer!!
---Distribution
This utility is completely Freeware, and distributable by anyone, provided nothing is ever charged for its distribution, the files are not altered in anyway, and this readme is included.
---Disclaimer
I created this utility with my own free time, with no cost to anyone. This software is offered as-is, and you use it at your own risk.
---Contact
PM Skweetis at the SUBSIM.COM forums with any bugs, issues or enhancements that you have for the programme. Ill do my best to respond in a timely manner.
Cheers and Enjoy!

Thanks.

The download link for this is down. Kinda bummed, I just did a complete re-install of my whole system, and suddenly this game is fun again, but I was hoping to add in a few more mods this time around.

EDIT:

Nevermind, I read a bit deeper in the thread and found it on filefront. Still, somebody oughta edit the first post just to keep idiots like me from posting worthless stuff like this!
;)

Steppenwolf 01-24-07 06:58 PM

Skweetis is planning to release a new version of this in a day or two, so you might want to wait for that. See his post on page 4 of this thread:

Does the month when random weather is selected have to be entered every time I launch the game, or just before leaving port. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Glad you bumped this; this sort of file could be useful for other game randomization purposes .....
