Misc good and bad weather SUITE 2.5.2

[Peter Boese]

WIP Sol:

First test of the new cloud shader. One major improvement is the custom positioning. In comparison to gbwSuite i just need the half of the cloud textures to fill the sky, which will result in a way more natural sky. Also the new shader will have some nice features, like backlitted clouds and normal maps.

 

[Jordan Dion]

Seems really nice!
Peter if ever you got the time, can you put a pictures of GBW and SOL of the same weather.. so we can get an idea of the difference!

Some further tests with the new cloud shader (positioning and normal maps)

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Spectacular, and very exciting to follow your progress

Probably a very stupid question but does 2.5.2 include ALL of the previous hotfixes for 2.5.1?

Howdy, was just wondering about how the local array godrays__plan in gbWSuite_basics.lua works. I see that for each index of the array, there is a subarray of 4 elements. I can see that the third and fourth elements are glare ratio and angle attenuation (respectively), and the second element might be godray length, but what does the first element represent? Would that be sun angle?

Hello guys.

Just a simple question.Why there is a random selection of the weather when changing the time in the CM Bar ?

Because "Autumn" is a gbw3.3 weather and those are limited to 8:00-18:00 time span. If you select a time beyond this, CM will choose a weather which fits the time. The gbwSuite weather all have a time span 0:00-23:59. So one of this weather is selected to apply the selected time.

It's a logic sunangle parameter. Reaching from -180=midnight,-90=sunrise,0=noon,90=sunset 180=midnight to control a whole cycle.

Ok thanks.

Does the mod overwrite any original game files? And also, is a day/night transition possible at all?

Many thanks
