[REQ] OLC "Constant weather" env

Hitman · 02-12-09, 12:25 PM

This is a request to OLC or anyone who has the proper modding skills to do or explain a bit how to do an OLC environment mod for a more constant weather.

The idea is to make a set of two scene.dat files like this:

1) One where the waves are small to medium and clouds light wihite to light, in fact replacing the stormy weather with a more mild one. This scene.dat would be ideal for patrols in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and Central Pacific or Caribbean (Yes I know those zones see sometimes heavy storms but they are less frequent than in the current game's weather patterns)

2) One where the waves are always medium and the clouds grey to dark grey. This would be in fact an "North Atlantic" and "Arctic Ocean" file, with more constant bad weather and almost never good weather, but where waves never reach the storm size.

What I want is to eliminate the stormy weather, when waves are constantly covering your watch crew and you can't play effectively anymore, a pattern that comes too often for my taste and kills much of the fun. At the same time, I want to get a more realistic weather pattern according to the areas I'm patrolling in.

Would this be possible? Is it a heavly load of work? Can at least someone point me which parameters of the scene.dat file have to be modified for having this?
