Can I edit a weather cfg file to give me good weather all the time?

cawimmer430 · 08-12-09, 05:56 PM

Hi guys,

I am sure this has been asked a hundred times and I've looked at some weather threads here but I have not found the answer to my specific question.

I just started a new career 1939 and I recently managed to put together enough renown to move on to a better boat with a deck gun. The problem is that this weapon can only be used in good weather - so I want to edit the responsible cfg file so that the weather is always calm and I can always use my deck gun.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure which values I should change and replace with the appropriate numbers. Thanks for the advice in advance.

Hey caw not sure about the files, but I do know that there is a mod out that allows you to use your deck gun in ANY weather..although it is very difficult in stormy weather as far as gunnery is concerned. Just thought I'd let you know in case you don't want to have it sunny skies all the time I can try to find the link.

I'm sure I noticed a file the other day that listed the various weather states. wind speeds, rain etc. In theory you can set the weather to be perminantly whatever you want. Some folks here like dense fog, some prefer dead calm. I'll go see if I can find that file again and get back to you.

You can still use the deck gun in dark stormy weather without mods..
Just use sonar, get range and bearing and shoot that way. Best to get within 1000 yards. Once you set it afire easy to see. I've sunk many ships far away, but easier close up.
