USE OF MOD.
The preferred method, if you use J.Scones' JSGME mod enabler, is this:
1. In your folder 'silenthunteriii\mods' create a new folder 'RealWeatherFixMod'. Within this folder create another folder, 'data'. Copy your existing file 'scene.dat' into the new folder 'data'.
2. Then copy across into this new folder 'data': the 'campaigns' folder and all its contents (including the sub-folder 'campaign') from your existing folder 'silenthunteriii\data\'.
3. Place the file RealWeatherFix.exe into your new folder \mods\data.
4. When ready, just double-click on 'RealWeatherFix.exe'. Everything works by itself, very quickly, and you will get an on-screen progress report to show what the program has done.
5. Tidy up the new entries from your new \mods\data folder and its contents (described below), and delete the unwanted messages_en.txt, messages_de.txt, messages_fr.txt (if any)
6. Use JSGME in the ordinary way to copy the 'RealWeatherFixMod' information into the main game files.
7. If anything goes wrong, just disable the mod with JSGME.

If you don't have JSGME, then use this method:
The executable RealWeatherFix.exe MUST be placed in the 'data' folder (use Windows Explorer). By default, that will be found in your SilentHunterIII\data folder. You will find your scene.dat file in the same folder (check it is present). Your campaign files will be found in folder SilentHunterIII\data\campaigns\campaign.
When ready, just double-click on 'RealWeatherFix.exe', as in (4) above.

I don't have JSGME, and I've followed those instructions exactly for someone who desn't have JSGME (the stuff in bold). I get the error message I'd previously described, but only on my desktop. On my laptop - no problem, and that's with identical game configurations i.e. SH3 vanilla 1.4.

I'm not particularly technical - as I think you've guessed - but any constructive ideas as to what this might be would be much appreciated. I'd really like to take advantage of all the hard work that you, Stiebler, and whoever else have put into this. If there's one thing that has always got on my nerves about SH3, it's the weather.

Im not understanding something here, if you copy your original files to the RealweatherFix folder in mods then run the Realweather.exe and then activate the folder in JSGME arent you replacing the already changed files by the exe and puting everythin in the original settings?
