clouds

[SuperKungFu]

i saw this over at the russian forum

http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=21999

 

On the last page there seems to be some download links so it looks like the clouds are ready. But i can't really read russian and the translation is a bit fuzzy so if anyone could speak russian, could you tell us the status and how to install, what does it replace...etc. Thanks.

That files replaces 2 cargo ship models with cloud models. You need to put .lom files from archive into you lofc\bazar\shapes directory, and .tga files into temptextures dir.

[SuperKungFu]

which cargo ship, the same 2 models in the quick start of the Su-33 mission?

Мой файл, заменяет модель танкера Ельня.

lom кидаем в папку shapes, tga в temptextures.

files with *.lom extension are to be extracted to ...Bazar/World/shapes folder

files with *.tga extension are to be extracted to ...Bazar/World/TempTextures folder

here is some kind of translation

[SuperKungFu]

oh, so we are suppose to install both right?

[Scart]

I suppose we can test one and another and leave one wich we like, or both ;)

I do admit, the clouds looks nice

 

However, the clouds won't show up unless the ship is there, and if its in the map, it would be invisable

There's also a graphics problem with shadows. Looks like the clouds are casting dark shadows everywhere

 

But i do admit, i love that new look, its another step towards photorealistic. Hopefully Black Shark would add this into mod into the game so we don't have to replace any more models.

[Scart]

thats the problem, but -flank, and Andrew trying to find a solution. This mod 99,9% will not be included in the BS it's too buggy now. :(

It's need to add some dummy object to the game with availiability of editing it's parameters (direction of moving, opacity and illumination)

Use static objects :)

Wow this is such a nice mod~~

 

i really like this~

 

though at night it looks wierd, it's still white...

 

for over land use, i replaced the commandcenter.lom

Darn,

YOU DID IT !! You found the USS ELDRIDGE !!

The Philadelphia Experiment IS REAL (at least in Lock-On with this Mod)

[chrno120]

i just found out, the mod causes some issues with the AI, particularly in my wingman.

 

They fly in a up-down pattern with several hundred meter differences and seem to unable to form with me whenever we are underneath the clouds...

 

i guess we're still a long way from really having cirrus clouds..

Cloud MOD will not work! Are there special clouds settings?

[SuperKungFu]

The clouds won't show up unless the ship is there, did you set the ship on the map? You can make it a static object.

Thanks for this help!
