Default OLC's Night Sky Periscope Fix Question

When attempting to enable this mod using the latest JSGME Tool I receive a message that the three files included have already been altered by the 16km Atmosphere Mod that comes with GWX 1.03. Is it safe to ignore this warning or does installing the Night Sky Mod create a new problem if using the 16km Atmosphere Mod?

I don't know whether it will cause problems with the 16km mod. It might. I guarantee no problems with 8km (except the lack of stars, of course).

It would be very quick to make a 16km version so I'll do that now.

16km version uploaded to FF.

Please read carefully the installation instructions.

Hi OLC,

can you please explain a bit about the night sky fix? - What does it do exactly, I've not seen much on this one.

Cheers!

From the description of the file on the FF page:

Night Sky Periscope Fix for GWX 1.03
Have you ever noticed that, at night, when you are
looking through a scope and water washes over the
lens, the colour of the sky flicks to a much brighter
(almost daylight) shade?
This mod fixes that, at the expense of the stars - you
will never see any stars using this mod (you will still
see the moon though) so this mod is really for people
who (like me) find the "bright night sky" bug intolerable.

Personally I really love this little mod. I promise that when you use it and do a submerged night attack, you will realise just how much help the "bright night sky" bug was giving you.

Thank you so much for that. Will download tonight when I get home and try it as soon as I'm back in port.
