Permanent good weather in a mission

[Deputy]

Is there a file I can modify where I can adjust the weather through a whole mission? Can you give me details on how to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Dep

If you do a search for Weather mod you'll find what you are after. Don't complain. It could be bad weather permanently which can be worse. BTW how often are you saving and reloading. The weather change chance timer gets reset every time you do that even with the weather mod.

I tried one weather mod (SH3Weather Update 1.5) but it only gave me nice weather after initially leaving the base harbor. As soon as I got near to England the weather turned crummy again. Is that the mod you are talking about? I play the whole mission through without saves. I did a search but couldn't find what I am looking for. Can you steer me to it please?

I think it is the one I was talking about. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=103202

I don't use any weather mods and I don't seem to have too many problems with the weather changing. If the weather doesn't change I resist saving and restarting for a while until it does unless absolutely necessary.

Weather data is contained in the campaign_???.mis files in the campaign folder.

it goes something like this:

...
fog=?
fograndom=?
clouds=?
cloudsrandom=?
rain=?
rainrandom=?
wind=?
winddirection=?
windrandom=?
...
WeatherInterval=7?

set all the values to "0" and you'll have sunny, calm seas with high visibility. I prefer fog set to medium (2) which allows me to sneak up on convoys while surfaced.

WeatherInterval sets how many hours must pass before the weather can change. I think the highest setting is "72", meaning three days.

I find weather still changes even with all the randoms set to zero. SH3Weather doesn't alter the randoms.

finally return to port before changing these files. and have the same settings in each file to lower the risk of errors.

TarJak: That's the program I tried and it just gave me calm weather when leaving port. But thanks anyway

ahaseurus2000: Ahhhhhh...now we are talking!!!!
Thanks a ton for that info. I like to do a lot of surface kills early in the war and nasty weather sure puts the crimp on them. I appreciate that info!!!!

I recommend this mod, I always use it with SHIII Commander.

I tried that mod and it doesn't allow permanent change to calm weather.

I may have goofed up with this mod. I tried it again using SH3 Commander to start the sim and it seems to work okay. Had plenty of good weather. Unfortunately, both my flak gunners got blasted when I got greedy with getting aircraft kills
