I'm sure it can't be because of my mod, because I have only included three files in it:

SkyColors_Arct.dat
SkyColors_Atl.dat
SkyColors_Med.dat

I also use the 18km visability mod and I see just fine... The problem is probably stemming from your Scene.dat file, and that is not part of my mod... Just reinstall your visability mod again, it will work.

mh, im using a underwarter visibility mod for IuB, for more transperency... and SH3 Commander... guess thats all. maybe a conflict there!? what do you use?

Hmm... this problem is a weird one, but still, I'm sure it wasn't me. My files don't really affect anything... That's why I said there would be no conflictions with any other mod. Someone else is causing your problems...

And like I said, reinstall the 16/18km visability fix and everything should be solved.

***Glad you guys like my mod!! It will be on terrapin's site shortly!

Great mod

marhkimov

I am interested in using the 16km mod but I can cnnot see it on Terrapins site.

Has it got another name or is it not finnished yet?

Which reminds me to post a thankyou to Terrapin for his site.

oRGy · 10-25-05, 12:57 PM

Hm - skycolors? I'm sure that Ortega in the vis mod messed with these to ensure proper clouds.

I'll have a look later on to see.

Marhkimov · 10-25-05, 02:24 PM

Hmm.. So did Manuel Ortega change those files?

As far as I know, I use his visability mod and I haven't noticed any problems with clouds, fog, and rain...

I have run into this problem when testing weather mods... It appears to be related to TIME COMPRESSION.... IE weather changes repeatedly during long stay in time comression... you stop and go to bridge... your navigator told you it was sunny... but it is big storm and your watch crew is enjoying the whole thing in their normal duty clothes...

The way to fix this is simply dive the boat to periscope depth and re surface... the crew automatically dons appropriate clothing and further weather reports are accurate.

I don't suspect Marhkimov's mod at all.

Remember too that the visibility mod is still considered a beta.

Cheers!

Great sound mods Nippelspanner!

Hi Marhkimov.....

I had tested it and looks great ! many thanks for the job

But i lose the clouds...... I am using Mac Mollo Vis. Mod, with SeeAdler Sky Fix and i had modified the files to have my personalized underwater visibility.

I had this same problem before, when attempt to use some SkyColors files others than Ortega's Vis Mod ones.

Can you made a guide to manually modify the files ? Specially in Light Night Mod.....

Thanks in advance.

I believe the answer is yes.

Marhkimov · 10-25-05, 03:13 PM

I will guide everyone once I get some intel from Manuel Ortega...

Sorry my bad english

, but what do you means with intel ?

The matter is after put your files, i experience a loss of the clouds, in example, in the Biskmarck mission wich have a stormy sky, i can see a beautiful clear sky.

I attempt to compare the existing files with yours to found the changes you made, and then make the changes on my files but i cant found your changes yet.

Any help will be welcome, i like your night vision.

Best regards, Red.

Marhkimov · 10-25-05, 03:41 PM

I meant I was just going to talk it over with Manuel.

I need to figure out how to fix this...

Manuel Ortega · 10-25-05, 04:02 PM

If I remember it well, from the files:
SkyColors_Arct.dat
SkyColors_Med.dat
SkyColors_Atl.dat

I only changed the 3d mesh of the sky sphere, so, my mod will be messed if that mesh is not the one I did.
