Randomized Weather on Loaded Saves

TorpX · 08-18-15, 08:57 PM

Ok, I opened up the a duplicate stock folder I keep. In the campaign folder, there are various ###.mis files and also in the patrol objectives folder, there are subfolder with various objectives files with the same format. If you open these with the mission editor, and check the mission tab and 'parameters' you have a dialog window with weather conditions, clouds, rain, fog, wind, and variations for all those, and also the change interval in hours (2 to 96).

This is the only thing I know of that we can use to manipulate weather selection/ changes. The odd thing I noticed in looking at several is that they all listed no changes and an interval of 5 hrs. Obviously, the weather does change at times, so maybe the most important factors are hard coded, with long-term weather (more than 96 hr. period) handled by the game in it's own way.

Call me crazy but I'm playing now with TMO 25 ONLY without RSRDC. It seems this mod -
campaign files-changes many things in TMO with collateral effects as the randomized weather. I load and reload my actual campaign and ever I have the same weather. When changed to 12 mts and heavy fog and saved the game - reload and I
had the same weather.

BTW I am tired of the RSRDC heavily scripted campaign and with only TMO I have a lot of funny action.

Best regards.

TorpX but have you discovered where weather information might be saved when a players saves their current progress and how this could change from load to load of the same save point?

No, I don't know about the saving.

Maybe you happened to save at a point as the weather was changing, or just before (meaning this is more or less a fluke).

Honestly, I don't know what to do about weather that 'sticks' or changes too much. Not sure there is anything we can do about it.
