Sky display bug in GW?

[Dowly]

Here's the GWX 1.03 scene.dat. Unpack to Silent Hunter III/Data/

It is still not working. For example, at 1500, where there are no clouds, the sky is completely black. I appreciate your patience in helping me fix this.

Rollback Sh3 commander first, then copy this file which Dowly uploaded for you as he already said in Silent Hunter 3/Data and after that try again. Try it when you are in base, or better start a new patrol and then see.

If using SH3 Commander, perform a rollback.
Disable any mods you have enabled via JSGME
Check the backup folder in Mods is empty.


If all else fails....here is another option you might want to consider.....life can be a right PITA

1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6.Download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.

Your getting 8k & 16k atmosphere mods mixed up, it's a combo of Env Skycolors & Scene.dat file.

That's a very creditable point.
I remember approx 6 months back spending the entire evening on TS with danlisa and melnibonian trying to find the solution to this very same problem.
The only common ground we could deduce was that it sometimes occured when engaging the 16km atmosphere mod :hmm:

I started a new patrol and the sky was fine. Now I have to figure out why it did not record my tonnage after my first patrol - to include sneaking into Plymouth and sinking the Hood!
