EO 11275 Posted May 27, 2017 Sullen Skies Fundamentally this mod makes a few changes to the cloud system, this adds some increased immersion for the player by generating a much darker and turbulent sky. Changes the Overcast weather sequence. Darker and more turbulent clouds. Lowers base cloud significantly. No cloudless skies. The mod is heavily inspired by Opticalsnare's Blastcore Skies and could be seen as riding the coat tails of something that is already out there, however, Blascore Skies hasn't worked well since the Visual Uprgade, and while this version is much more basic, it is essentially up to date. I have decided to post this in the discussion section to garner some/any feedback on the merits of releasing something similar to what is already out there. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep a close eye on my fps counter while the overcast transitions are taking place and it's rock solid at the moment. I'm keenly aware that in-game performance is at a premium, so if this mod turned things into a slideshow I wouldn't work on it. And thanks for the kind words so far guys! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I value this community and have the utmost respect for modders past and present.....I guess this is the reason i added that footnote to the OP. Feedback as been nothing but positive so i will press on and get this out soon. Initial release will cover Altis, Stratis, Tanoa and Malden, with support for CUP terrains somewhere down the line. Timelapse showing the overcast transitions.....on Malden! (video is 5mins long, i'd recommend setting playback speed to 2) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thebuckfastwine 1230 Posted June 1, 2017 lol So true, quote from one of my youtube vids . on a side note took the dog out this morning in glorious sunshine 20 yards later it was snowing 10 yards later it was raining then some nice mist then back to clear skies, was only out for 15 mins. Should be cool as hell seeing this mod roll over the grand Scottish hills. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11275 Posted June 2, 2017 OP has been updated with an early WIP version for Altis. As this is the version I've been testing with, it's an all in one config that includes my other little mods, Weedkiller and Ambient Birds. Full version will include support for all Arma 3 vanilla maps, Altis, Stratis, Tanoa and Malden. I'll consider support for community maps if feedback is good and you guys like what you see. Experiment and enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
