Ooops! Hang on folks. That file is supposed to be Scene.dat, not Zones.cfg. LOL, I'm too fast for my own good.

All done now. Sorry about that.

Hehehe.

I thought that was odd, yeah. Didn't think damage modeling had anything to do with fog

The changes I made were mostly to ease up a little on flooding-related buoyancy loss, and also stop the control room from exploding, but that has nothing to do with this mod :hmm:

Could you send me that file (beery1@comcast.net). Non-exploding control rooms sound like a good thing.

Speaking of the night sky, does anyone know where I can find the list of star co-ordinates? I want to make the stars a bit smaller. Currently some of the brighter ones look like Jupiter - way too many pixels in use. So if the star list includes size values I might be able to mess about with them.

As someone who has spent a fair amount of time out on a bridge wing during the deep of night in the middle of the ocean, those last two are very good indeed. Looking forward to it.

IÂ´m looking for the list of stars but not success, i never do a mod and donÂ´t know how and where look...

perhaps in some dat file.

Another way to simulate the milk way is increase the number of stars in some areas of the sky, like a belt.

Here's one I took tonight. It shows off the sky nicely I think:

Great job with the sky Beery.

Just ran a patrol to check it out and it looks superb.

Reece · 08-29-05, 11:21 PM

The sky changes nicely in the twilight times, is it possable to change the night sky (as beeries mod) depending on the phase of the moon?

Just a thought!
Would certainly make hunting at night in full moon awsome!

Awesome job Beery!

Thank you.

oRGy · 08-30-05, 04:55 AM

Nice one Beery, exactly what I was looking for.

Now to fix that moon...

-edit- I suspect the star coordinates would be in either scene.dat, or maybe even one of the .act files in the main director. You have to remember the stars aren't textures but coordinates in a mini-astrosphere program. Manuel Ortega might be able to help out, but he doesn't seem to be about at the moment.

Great Beery, thanks!

Just tried it and it's wonderful Beery. Combined with CCIP's ultra lo FOV Camera Mod, it's brillently atmospheric being in the conning tower at night. Thanks so much for this latest marvelous addition to SHIII
