[REL] Rik007: SH-3 Night surface attack project [REL]

great work on the mod! The moonlight is as realistic as it is beautiful. Unfortunately the instantly-changing weather thing does still happen for me, but less often and it's not as noticeable. Could the issue be with my installation, or is this normal? Thanks in any case, this mod is a must-have.

Hi Tabris, if you use the environment mod you should not have the instant wheather changes anymore. Or better formulated: you should have the same experience as with the original environment of sh3. So there can still be bugs with the transition as they were there from the beginning....

Some things I noticed:

The length of the change is variable though. Sometimes the wheather will change within a few minutes, sometimes it can take half an hour or so.
At the end of the transition you might notice a little flip where a then very weak sun - a vague disc - suddenly disappears.
Sometimes (rare), the sun shine through the clouds for a second

The last two are also tiny bugs coming with the original game. So not much we can do...

thanks, that makes sense. I never once played without mods (started with GWX, now using NYGM) so my grasp of what's vanilla or not isn't so great.

had 2 questions , If I missed the answers sorry, but I did read the post first.

1. was the Merchant Ship Mod (full) issue corrected witl the new version (1.19)

2. (the dumb question) The installation instruction stated to run the patcher but it didn't state to copy the SH3.exe to that patcher folder. I would assume you do. is that correct.

I would like to use this for both NYGM HC (Fifi) and OneAlex 1.53

Thank you, for this excellent masterpiece.

Hi Doolar,

1. was the Merchant Ship Mod (full) issue corrected witl the new version (1.19)

There was an issue with FPS performance. That one is solved as 1.19 has been optimized

.

The memory issue (CTD) with the full Merchant Ship Mod was unrelated to the night surface attacks mod as the CTD's also occured when only the full Merchant Ship Mod was enabled. The CTD's do not happen always so that makes it confusing.

2. (the dumb question) The installation instruction stated to run the patcher but it didn't state to copy the SH3.exe to that patcher folder. I would assume you do. is that correct.

Dumb questions do not exist for me and this is not even a dumb question at all

. The patcher will take the sh3.exe from your sh3 folder and store the patched sh3.exe into the 'SH-5 Moon mod' folder. So you only need to enable it afterwards with JSGME.

The weather changes for me have been awesome in the last 2 versions. I have only played Fifi's NYGM Enhanced recently so can not comment on other mods.

Thank you for your replys. Suppose to rain here tomorrow, now I got a project.
