Wait wait wait, do I have somekind of eye problem, or did I already discovered different levels of clouds?

LEVELS 2

LEVEL 0
F_UP 100.0
F_DOWN 5.0
F_SIDE 25.0
F_DIR 1.0
DENSITY 4
K_THIN 0
END_LEVEL

LEVEL 1
F_UP 500.0
F_DOWN 2.5
F_CEN 0.0
DENSITY 4
K_THIN 0
K_FADE 0.7
END_LEVEL


So we can have two type's of clouds. Let's give it more levels :3

@ Eexhaton ,
yeah , indeed , I now remember that topic , it never took my notice much because I am not using S3TC
textures compression as with 1GB of graphics card memory it would be such a shame for me to lose on
visual quality and clouds FPS is not an issue for me so never needed to use that Big Grin
Thanks for reminding me of OneLifeCrisis Tongue

So what exactly specifies the cloud height?
I've tweaked it so the F_UP is 1250, but the clouds are now spawned on the ground aswell.

ffs bloody showoff.. :roll: :twisted: :mrgreen:

I'll wait for V3 to arrive here and then i'll test this cloud mod.
I'm far to busy messing up with my own IL2 experiments right now :lol:

Can't you use this with Rus_Andrey's/Bee's Cloud mod? This cloud mod that I have just mentioned allows you to have layered clouds. I used to use it in conjunction with flushy's and they worked a dream together. Do a search for it and have a look Big Grin

- HolyGrail - 19.12.2009

Yes , I believe it have been experimented and used before by others , also by ZloyPetrushkO Big Grin

@ Eexhaton :lol:
now after reading my reply once again about S3TC , it might sound almost offensive to some :oops:
I didn't meant to look like showing off with 1GB of graphics card memory available , heck just a little
bit less than two years ago , I was using ATI card with 256MB of memory and I know how it is , I was
using back then S3TC option to smooth my game Big Grin
It's just I am happy I don't have to use S3TC anymore .

- Murph - 19.12.2009

HG; Are you able to get Cannon's Channel map to load and run without S3TC? I have a 1G card and I still can't get it to load without S3TC. I get the old "paratroop" error.

- HolyGrail - 19.12.2009

Yes , I have no errors with Nvidia PNY GTS250 1GB XLR8 Performance Edition graphics card
using Cannon's Channel Map without S3TC .
I am sorry to hear that , I am using still 4.09b1m game version with customized 0.93 sound mod .
Waiting for the upcoming UP 2.0 to try Big Grin
I will not be using HSFX version even thou UP 2.0 will include swith to HSFX 4.1 version .
Which 1GB monster graphics card you're running ?

S! HG Tongue

- Chappi - 19.12.2009

Well those mods are not really working for me.
We can specify the clouds height without java, yes?

- santobr - 19.12.2009

These numbers are not in meters but in multiples of something.
Try to increase a bit the numbers in steps by 1.

santobr.

- Chappi - 19.12.2009

Well, with values of 100 they are really higher just like I wanted.
But it's in Hazy weather, when in Thunder - it also spawns clouds on the ground.
Anyway I'm now looking at the cloudata.cld file
I believe that those are coordinates of different cloud "squadrons"
What do they refeer to?

Those aren't XYZ values, so what is it? I think this way it will be easier with creating supercells.

Could someone explain this?
And to what is this corresponding to -
