Sh4 uses the same weather settings that sh3 in the campaign files, and i remember that it was a problem with stock version, too many raining or sunny days.

In sh4 the campaing file is splitted in several files, and every file have values about weather , i think that all have the same settings.

Fog=0
FogRand=0
Clouds=0
CloudsRand=0
Precip=0
PrecipRand=0
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=5.000000
WindRand=0
WeatherRndInterval=5
SeaType=0



A good test could be change the values by others in ALL files and see if it works. in sh3 forum there are a lot of discussions about weather values.

I think your right.

WernerSobe - are you using a modified executable or trying to play the game without the original disc in your drive? From what I have read, constant rainy weather seems to be associated with the game's copy protection being triggered.

Notice any big-eyed sailors? 2-d sailors? Sailors randomly counting numbers? These are also part of the protection system.

Use the original disc and executable and this should go away.

[WernerSobe]

mh no i have the original disc and its in. i have nothing triggered off.

Maybe its just because the weather is basicly randomised. A random number triggers a weather change or not. And when youre realy unlucky it is thereticaly possible that the weather wont ever change.

[flyingdane]

To Wernersobe, And every one else sorry for my immature outburst above.

[FAdmiral]

I remember in SH3 when you saved the game, the weather would reset.
What I mean by this is over time (like 6-18 hrs.), the weather will change.
The time is reset back to 0 after a save so that the time has to keep
advancing over & over. 0-12,save,starts at 0 again instead of continuing
on from 12. This has the effect of never changing weather if you save the
game rather often. I could do a 6 week patrol and never see any weather
but sunny skies and calm seas....(saved the game every 12 hrs)

Quite honestly this is the first post someone has said the weather has not changed in weeks. Very odd indeed. I have had maybe 3 days of rain. The weather model is much improved from SH3. Sorry I do not have an answer for you
