[REL] Medium Fog Bug Workaround

archer9 · 01-09-14, 02:34 PM

My menu.txt file has very minor changes, basically I've changed just two lines for weather reports and I have included compatibility for TDW's UIs + Real Navigation (will perhaps add compatibility for other UI mods as well in the future). I guess if you have other important mods that overwrite this file, for now simply delete it from my mod before installing, because the mod will work without it anyway. It's just that fog in weather reports will be incorrectly displayed.

Or maybe I will just remove the file and post instructions on how to modify it manually in the OP.

I'll have a look at that JTXE thingy as well, thanks.

Edit: For now, I've updated the first post with how to manually edit menu.txt with my changes.

Won t the game "think" it s foggy and dd s have spotting according to fog even though we have clear weather then?

Nope. Not in my testing at least.

Archer, don't you think that it is better solution to just swap medium and light fog ? That way you could eliminate "no light fog" issue...

Yes, that was my initial plan. But it would only turn the medium fog bug into light fog bug. I understand it still would have been an improvement, but I decided that sacrificing light fog isn't that big of a deal for me personally. Perhaps I will create a separate version with swapped medium and light fog as you suggested.

Are you aware that sober was working on issues between medium and light fog?
