[MOD]Realistic Clouds
#1

Well I was going to keep this mod for myself, but I was surprised with final result and thought it's worth posting here.
After thousands of tries with different textures (cod,crysis,fear,WiC) this one's looks best - like real cloud, yet soft.

Current version - V2 - you can always check my mod's version in the .txt file inside mod package.
HOW DO I INSTALL THIS
Listen, it shouldn't be too hard.
First of all, you need UI 1.1 or 1.2.
I don't know if this is compatible with UP or HSFX since I have never tried those. But it should work since it is just one texture file.
-----
UI 1.1/1.2 installation.

Navigate to your IL2 1946 folder and open MODS folder.

Next, download this mod and put the 00_Chappi'sCloudMod folder inside MODS folder.

You should now see new clouds when you start the game - before running a qmb mission make sure to choose a weather option which features clouds Smile

V2 and V1b IS RELASED
CHANGELOG:
V2
1)Thanks to HolyGrail for noticing the insane size of the texture - it was 1024x1024 resolution. I have resized it to 512x512, that way it lost 3mb in size.
2)Softened the clouds edges so there is less chance of both annoying bugs - jerking clouds and visible edges.
3)Blurred the clouds a bit more so they look better this way and there is again less chance of those annoying bugs.
V1b
1)Thanks to HolyGrail for noticing the insane size of the texture - it was 1024x1024 resolution. I have resized it to 512x512, that way it lost 3mb in size.
2)Softened the clouds edges so there is less chance of both annoying bugs 0 jerking clouds and visible edges.
3)The clouds are not blurred, so people can choose between blurred one's - V2 and normal - V1b.

This is how V2 looks like - the clouds are very blurred now - so there is less jerking and edge bugs. Personally I like them more than V1, but I left V1 version download for those who don't like new one's.



And this is how V1b looks like - they are not that blurred as V2, and yet they have soft edges.

What in V3?
Less blur goddamnit, my eyes hurt from it.
I'm trying to do alternative version with heavy clouds like this one. It's just a matter of time Tongue
