[REL] Environmental MOD for Silent Hunter 5

[ACSoft]

Does anyone know if the color palettes files of this mod, REALLY correspond to their names.

I mean:
Does EnvColors_Polar.cfg really represent colors you can see in polar regions
Does EnvColors_Temperate.cfg really represent colors you can see in temperate regions
Does EnvColors_Tropical.cfg really represent colors you can see in tropical regions

If it is the case, what represent:

EnvColors_Polar_A.cfg => ???
EnvColors_Tropical_A.cfg => ???

If I ask this, it is because I don't understand why W_clear ClimateZones.tga use "Polar" colors in the whole "Channel" between England & France, including a large band of ocean going to the West from here.

More colors = more diversified environment.

Yes Antar, I know for what purpose SH5 is designed this way, with multiple color palettes.

My question is, does W_clear STILL respect the localization of these palette and even the colors which suggest the name of the file. Maybe not, because, as I said, his map ClimateZones.tga (this is what determine where are used the palettes), define "Polar" color in the British channel and more to the West in the Atlantic Ocean.

The main tweaking work of W_clear consisted to modify all these palette files and the ClimateZones.tga. It is perfectly possible that "Polar" palette do not really reflect anymore polar region and if it is the case, maybe W_clear just changed everything, but NOT the name of the files, because he CANNOT CHANGE THEM, otherwise the mod can't work.

Does anyone know that or W_clear, do-you understand and can-you tell me ?

PS:
By the way, Antar, your picture to illustrate the way it is supposed to work is really nice !!!

I can do to respect the reality of climate,However, but must be increased some file to finish it.

As the Arctic or Antarctic Patrol few opportunities,So I think that there is no need to complete the reality of climate.

W_clear, look at the picture of Antar just before and tell me:

Does your "EnvColors_xxx" color palettes files REALLY represent the colors of the regions which are mentionned for them on this picture ?

This is an important information to know, to eventually use your wonderful colors palettes with another "ClimateZones.tga" map file (They are several other maps around, with a more complete & detailled design).

You missunderstood me.

I didn't asked if your colors are exactly like the real world, I just asked if they still represent the region of their names (Polar, Temperate, Tropical, etc...). In other words, you may have changed the way this color system work, but kept the name of files, because of the way mod's work (replacing existing files).

So again, in your spirit, are your color palettes STILL made for the region of their names, or you changed the system and just kept names to make the moding easier ?
