Default Nice assortment of mods ... thanks!

I tried the mod that increased the number of deck gun rounds and their impact and it seems to work fine. The slight increase in destructive power added to my enjoyment of the game since the deck gun at a realistic level is almost useless except for small vessels. That's okay but I like a little excitement once in a while ... especially when I'm out of torpedos. The mod that reduced the amount or size of the rain seems to be a good one but I can't tell from the readme how it's supposed to be installed. There seem to be two parts ... the actual mod and a test version. They seem to install as one package or individually but can't tell if it's working w/o finding a storm in a regular mission. I use TMO and RSRD and notice from this post that you use stock SH4. Am I missing something? I also like the smaller pointer. Thanks for sharing, hard work, and generosity.

well what i did was include a jsgme installable US single mission "WEBSTER's rain test Mission" that is supposed to always be raining.
(nothing else to the mission, its just to see the rain without and then with the mod) the game randomizes things automatically
so the rain varies a little each time but it is simular enough to get a good judge of results the mod gives you.

first install the "WEBSTER's rain test Mission" with jsgme to install a rain test mission for comparison and then start the mission first without the "WEBSTER's Smaller Rain Drops" rain mod to see how the rain looks, then install the rain mod to see exactly what it does to the rain. if your running a mod that has environment changes then the effect might not be as dramatic as compared to the stock rain. i will update the read me with this info.

Default FYI ..Single mission rain mod has lightening effects.

I finally got around to installing the smaller rain mod per your new readme. The rain seems to be slightly less than before and an improvement over the stock version. One thing I really like however is the single mission rainfall test mod that you included to verify the "before and after" effects of reducing the rainfall. While I was viewing the sub with the external camera from the starboard side I heard thunder and saw lightening. This was the first time I've actually viewed lightening on mys system during a storm! Not long ago there was a lot of discussion about certain mods, graphics cards, settings, etc. and whether they effected lightening during a mission. Until now I was never able to verify that lightening worked in the game on my computer. I'm going to keep it installed as a system test in the future whenever I make changes. Nice bonus. Thanks.

im glad it was helpfull, its not always easy to see changes to the environment that mods make because its hard to repeat the same conditions each time. even a mission designed with rain can have small differences each time so you may not see lightning every time, it can vary a little even with preset weather conditions.

i saw yours in your mod and figured i would google around to see if there might be other nice shots and thats how i found it.

what i liked best was the style bikini was something very likely to have been worn at that time period too.

i also made sure to credit you in the read me for original maker of the desk photo mod
