ah!ah! funny!

No, I haven't a screenshot, anyway the sky is just clear and the waves reflect the blue of the sky. Even if the meteo report says overcast. I only have fog or rain or haze but not clouds at all, nor overcast, neither partial.

it's weird, because if I use the stock scene.dat everything is fine!

Please list mods and hardware. Especially graphics card details.

Hi,

the mods installed in GWX2.1 are:

Thomsen's Sound V3
Thomsen no instant death screen
interior diving
aircraft soundmod
GWX2.1 minor fix 26thApril
GWX - lite harbour traffic
lifeboats&debris V4

Anyway, the problem is also in SH3+GWX3 installation without any mod engaged (I'm waiting to finish GWX2.1 campaign before using GWX3).

The harware is:
Intel T2250 1.73GHz Duo
RAM 2Gb
Video card: Mobile Intel GMA 945, 256MB memory, updated to latest drivers
Operating System: Vista Home Premium, SP1

Thanks

So you have a clean GWX3 installation in which you see no clouds even without the 16km mod enabled?

yes!

onelifecrisis · 06-08-09, 08:27 PM

Oh. Sorry, but I have no idea what could cause that.

Is it your conclusion..? Your posts put me in suspance... I was thinking I was getting close to the solution...!!

However, the difference should be between the stock and GWX scene.dat, probably in those parameters that control clouds behaviour/resolution/appearance..

We need a guy who knows very well that file!

thanks anyway for your attempt!

Edit.
I compared the two files by using S3D.

at the node 44 there are clouds parameters. The stock 3D model (subnode 39) has 2 UV Map channels, instead the only one Map channel in the GWX version. Can be it the difference?? Maybe my video card wants that second channel... I don't know!
The other things related to clouds parameters seem the same..
