Better rain mod?

[Paul Riley]

As I am frequently running into quite a few heavy rain storms on my return back to port,I was wondering if there is a better rain mod,one that improves the rain texture and makes the rain streaks look less white,which is very unrealistic.I am SURE I have seen the mod somewhere,just cant find it
Strangely,I am one of the few captains that actually doesnt mind ploughing through the elements for a few hours and so rain is no problem to me,I just want it to look more real and less...how can I explain,less solid looking!,a more subtle appearance is better.
Wind,storms,thunder,i'll take it all! thats an Englishman for ya!

Cheers.

All I am asking is that someone point me to the link for the mod,if there is one that is.There HAS to be a mod for this as the default rain is just plain unrealistic
Sorry about this.

Thanks.

xristoskaiti,

I got the download you directed me to,but I am wondering exactly where to install it.I have a feeling it overwrites the:
/data folder?

If anyone can direct me how to install this as there is no readme file included that would be great

Thanks.

If you have Windows XP or Vista, just say yes when it asks you to overwrite. It won't overwrite all the files in data, just the ones for the rain. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE BACKUPS JUST IN CASE!

Thanks for that
Just one last thing before I finalize this post,this is to you Friction,will the mod take effect during the patrol I am on,or must it be done before my next one?,if I survive that is.The reason I ask is because some of my minor mods I already have were installed during a patrol and caused no apparent problems,and yet some people insist that all mods be done prior to any future patrols,to safeguard against any possible problems

Thanks again.

Just to be safe, do all mod upgrades while in port mate. I've personally never added anything during a patrol, because if it corrupts a file, you'll be ...

Friction,

Lets say you install a graphical mod,like a uboat skin mid patrol,and you encounter some sort of corruption or anomaly with the skin/boat,would this glitch rectify itself when you return to port again,in other words,before the next mission?,or is the file permanently corrupted for that particular career?.
I know what you mean about the , thats the LAST thing I want as I am having a decent campaign here.

Thanks.

Well, any corruption with a graphic file can ruin it. Like I said, I've never changed anything mid patrol, so I don't know. I wouldn't risk it personally... But I did have a problem one time outside the game. I was working on a skin, and went to save it. At the same exact time that I saved it, the power went off at my house. When I rebooted, the skin had turned into a solid black screen with one red line through it. I was more angry than an Irishman who spilled his beer. About 4 hours of saved work went down the tubes. So as a lesson learned, each save while I'm skinning gets a new save. U-boat 1......U-boat 2...... U-boat 3 Etc....

Use JSGME and all can be reversed if bad happens.
