Canonicus · 05-26-07, 10:42 PM

UPDATE..... mod is now available in a JSGME version....Thanks to some generous work by CaptainCox....

UPDATE 2....If your using Leovampire's terrific Living Breathing Ocean Mod...then you will need to manually input the rain values into the scene file.

Read further down in this thread for Captain Cox's excellent explanation on how to use MiniTweaker.

UPDATE 3.....This mod is included with Leovampire's ROW mod

Well...I decided I'd had enough of super-sized rain drops...(WAY too big and just looks wrong...like "chalk streaks", as one sub skipper puts it!)

So i decided to visit the Scene_dat. file via MiniTweaker and make some changes.
Here they are...

Catagory 31....listed as "Random Wind & Rain" ,has a listing for MinSize and one for MaxSize.
These values set the size of the water droplets.

Stock values are....MinSize - 0.02 / MaxSize - 0.08

I changed those values to ...MinSize - 0.0095 / Maxsize - 0.04

I think the rain looks much more realistic now with the smaller size drops, but be your own judge and use any value you want...not too small though!...you still want to see

the rain!... and by trial & error...I think these values work well.

PS....Dont forget to remove the copy of Scene dat from your Data file before checking out the new rain!

Also,if any modder wants to include this in thier work, thats fine.... all I ask is that you give me some credit.
Thanks!

Now... you just need to find you a big o' storm.......
and...of course......

Enjoy!
