Hi John,
This is indeed a confusing part of the Hsie/Stiebler wheather fixes. To make each of them work the following must be done:
1. Correct choice of the switch in the HSieOptionsSelector (I assume this activates hardcode fixes in
sh3.exe)
2. Overlay (install) the corresponding envSim.act (this contains the changed sh3 wheather logic in
EnvSim.act)
So it is not enough to just switch wheather on/of in the HSieOptionsSelector. You have to install ('overlay') the corresponding EnvSim.act.
With OneAlex (and Fifi's) the hsie wheather fix is already overlayed: So the switch is already off and the corresponding EnvSim.act is already included. So 'standard' hsie is activated with OneAlex and Fifi's as it is more popular. So that is why I standard include the patched envSim.act in the SH-5 Moon mod for hsie as well. So in case you use hsie's wheather fix you do not have to do anything in the HsieOptionsSelector.
So to come back to your statements:
1. The h.sie weather fix is already included in the OneAlex mod, so turning it on does nothing in the HSieOptionsSelector -> Correct: for the moon mod you do not need to do anything in the HSieOptionsSelector as it is already hsie.
2. You are "tricking" the system into running the Stiebler weather fix by turning ON the h.sie weather fix in the options (which patches the SH3.exe) but overlaying the Stiebler EnvSim.act in place of the h.sie one -> correct: with the addition that you overlay the Stiebler EnvSim.act yourself (the switch does not do that)
What I think is confusing
Stiebler wrote the HSieOptionSelector. So the wheather switch on means activate hardcode fixes in sh3.exe for Stiebler's. So off means hsie.
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Rik
