Metl · 10-23-07, 11:39 PM

Anyone else have thsi problem? I get rough waves and stormy skies, but no rain. My crew even putsa on the slickers. Any ideas? These mods are currently running:

GWX - 16km Atmosphere with more reflections
Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_1_06_ALPHA
Internal U-Boat Sound Effect
Baracs IV0.1
Seafloor II
Ambient Underwater Sound
Ambient Hydrophone Sound

Is this weather constant or are you just saying that you have overcast sky, rough sea but no rain? I have this at the moment on my patrol, after days of heavy rain and thunder though. Weather in SH3 can last for days even weeks without changing. I read somewhere that the game only checks the weather every 11-12 hours of game time (not real time) and then it has only a 1 in 6 chance of changing. Like rolling a dice and the weather changes only when the six comes up. However, it needs to be remembered that the weather clock is reset to the beginning every time you save and reload a patrol.

I believe there is a mod that improves on the weather in SH3, but I haven't tried it myself.

You could try this:

I'm using it and it seems good to me.

Weather does not change very often though, and you do get the conditions you describe. Last night after days of rain and high winds off Lisbon, the rain stopped, the wind eased to 8kts and my deck gun crew was able to sink a nice Large Cargo steaming unescorted down to Gibraltar. Not bad in the dark - needed the hydrophone to close in on it...

I would advise SH3weather, too!

Since I used it, there is a real environment situation again with apparently unpredictable changes about all conditions

I like it!

Ok I downloaded the SH3Weather, but fail to see how it really should work. Do I have to run the SH3Weather.exe each time I want to start my game?

And, since I am already in a career, what will I choose as "Start of Patrol Month"?

Yes, you must start sh3weather each time before you start sh3. By choosing the month you will chose from a preset of weather values (wind, rain, waves , etc...) So you can even create winter storms in july

Sh3weather will make appropriate modifications to your campaign files.

To function correctly, I had to put it into my sh3 directory.
I you even use SH3commander it will detect sh3weather automatically.

SH3Weather will also help randomizing the weather more, I hope. So it reduces the chance of having full storm during two weeks, for example.

Something I just realized, Not only does it looks like it's storming without rain, I just noticed I have no wind sound either. At first I thought maybe there was no wind, but if there is no wind and no rain, how can I have a storm? So then I just figured the movies everyone posts has some kind of weather mod that had rain and wind, but now I'm not so sure as I couldn't find anything. Any ideas everyone?
