Sky display bug in GW?

jedmonds · 09-25-07, 03:06 AM

Hello,
I have not been using SH3 Gw for long but love it so far. One problem I am experiencing is with the sky display during the day. There are clouds in the sky but otherwise it is black and the sea has a strange glowing quality. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi, welcome to Subsim.

Sounds as if you're scene.dat is corrupted. Either by not rolling back SH3Cmdr before adding extra mods or by trying to view the scene.dat with notepad.

Hopefully, you have a backup installation where you can just copy the working scene.dat into your current install. Otherwise, it's repair or reinstall.

Sorry the news isn't better.

EDIT - I can't at the moment, but if you can tell us whether you are using GW or GWX, we might be able to upload a clean copy. Hint, GWX starts with a noisy wolf.

I am using GWX. It would be great if you could upload a new file. I do not have a backup file that I am aware of. Thanks for your help.

Here's the GWX 1.03 scene.dat. Unpack to Silent Hunter III/Data/

It is still not working. For example, at 1500, where there are no clouds, the sky is completely black. I appreciate your patience in helping me fix this.

Rollback Sh3 commander first, then copy this file which Dowly uploaded for you as he already said in Silent Hunter 3/Data and after that try again. Try it when you are in base, or better start a new patrol and then see.
