I figured I would save you the time since I already merged it myself...no need to have more than one person's eyes bleed while doing this very tedious work.

DynEnv 2.1 SkyColor Hotfix DarkerNights

I only merged the relevant info from darker nights: SkyColorMultiplier, AmbientColor_Multiplier, UnderWaterUpAlpha and UnderWaterDownAlpha.

Thank you Captain America,
my paining eyes appreciate very much your contribution!

Yes, doubly my bad... Volodya had already warned me of this oversight via PM (thank you again mate!), but then I forgot to report it on this thread

Whenever I load a saved game my weather gets stuck: it's always clear, medium fog, no wind. It stays like that wherever I go on the map. It's calm and foggy forever. Is this a known bug?

Not really dynamic if I always have to breathe this filthy fog.

Hello Magic

that mod by stoianm was already made compatible and included in Dynamic Environment base version, while the standalone version (the one posted by Magic) shouldn't be mixed with DynEnv, or weird things including CTDs can happen.

Hi Sartoris,

weather resetting to medium fog everytime a saved game is loaded is a known SH5 bug, since it seems that the game is not saving weather parameters within te savegame. It is an hardcoded feature, and admitting that it can be fixed, only TDW could do it.

DynEnv addresses this problem indirectly through the mod mentioned by Magic, that reduces the time interval between weather changes. The problem is that when a new weather is generated, it is possible that the new weather is again foggy.

The question that you should answer now is: is DynEnv making things better or worse than stock game?

Aaah, okay, I couldn´t remember anymore...

Thx for clarify!

BTW: Can a moderator please change the Thread-Title from WIP into [REL] please?!

@Gap, stoianm and everybody else:

Thanks for the feedback! I tried reloading several times but it doesn't seem to help. At least now I know it's a common bug, and not something that just happens to me. Hopefully TDW will have time in the future to look into this. It can be quite immersion-breaking because hunting in a fog all the time gets kind of tedious after a while.

Sure, you can use the 4 bearings method and just rely on your hydrophone when firing torpedoes, but when you're hunting a big convoy with multiple engine sounds overlapping, it can be difficult to make out your target.

And it does get quite creepy after a while: the world is always grey, foggy and completely still.

YEp.. it is a game bug.. when you reload a saved game you will have bad forecast and most of the time fog even when you saved you had nice weather... try to save again and reload.. sometimes it is working. The bug amplified by dynamic environemet it is the wrong report made in weather report.. for example if is raining outside in the game, in weather report could be writting sunny day outside

.. but after few minutes will come back to normal.

Also currently unable to download the mod through firefox or explorer. Get this error in firefox:

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at http://media1.gamefront.com/guploads.../18/03/Dynamic Environment SH5-V2.1.rar?b17f4b620c6cf1393ffa644d11eea151ee12995c6 f2461e126e601ef5a3f0f0569ff16138594a2f1b165ec34369 665246886bad947e7bbd9031439239ed959702ea9994ffb6d2 c2deb0602effa09ad1aaeceb9ac93f43e2be88e742ce487aa8 a3a38d2ac329707cbda94fb2a49b8d04687d3241f557300.

Just tried with chrome, and the download link worked as supposed

Sorkova · 08-26-12, 12:01 AM

Its fantastic that a lot of you can download the file but there is an obvious problem with the download links since more than one or two can't. Telling us how well you can download it does absolutely nothing to answer the question that has been repeatedly asked. Is there another download link or can someone post the file else where so the people having problems can get it? I'm not trying to be rude but damn....telling me how well you can get it is helping what? Absolutely nothing as far as I can see. Like ok...I can be shortsighted too. Thanks for nothing....you comments were noted but still useless. Now move aside so someone that can actually help can answer. Yeah yeah....that was harsh and if you take a moment to remember back when you were stuck and someone gave the kind of reply you did then you will understand our position and comments.
