Will someone please make a cold weather clothing mod for fleetboats?

ok, here is why

the clothing issue is all or nothing, no one has figured out a way for different clothing to be called for yet based on weather so if you change it to winter clothes then you will be sailing into pearl and midway in parkas and mittens.

yes we all agree there should be weather controlled clothes like rain gear for storms and coats for snow but so far it looks like a hard coded limitation of pick one and live with it so regular clothes is the most practical choice.

I am sure you could do a mod for it to change clothes but that's about the only way I can think of doing it without a weather connected controller to select different clothing files

I get that, I would rather sail from pearl or midway with them in parkas etc than be in the sea of okhotsk with deck watch in things theyd have on it south pacific. Just asking someone with the knowledge to make one.

Ah, see, I knew there was a reason that my crew had to toughen up.. I just thought you guys had invested too much in Ice-cream makers, and had run out of budget for cold and wet-weather gear.

Thanks, mate, for being willing to explain the realities to non-modders.

As I recall, when it rains, my crew shows up in rain gear....

Anyway, you could simply pull the optional cold weather mod from Trav's mod and only activate it during the winter or when you wanted it.

Thanks Amistead, that would work for me. I've been cautious about creating a mod soup disaster, but so far, so good! (I think!)

His mod does not work alone, i tried it and it left just a few crew, some inside, some out with cold weather gear on, plus when i removed it for next patrol, it didnt remove the gear, some funny stuff going on.

Armistead, I tried to PM you but says your inbox is full.

just do it yourself BH

you been here long enough to know there are lots of people here who will help you with it every step of the way.

use Paint.NET to do the image files and the rest is fairly simple putting the right files together so it replaces the stock images.
you really will be surprised how easy modding is once you get started. this is your baby so make it happen.

there is nothing hard about modding, it just takes time and patience and the desire to do it.

how will we ever have new mods unless people are willing to make them instead of asking for them? the modders that created all the mods we use have all but retired and moved on so if anyone wants a new mod they aren't the ones who are going to create it just because someone asks for it.

we need new modders and its easy to see you have a desire to make the game better so why not be one of them?
