phronk 898 Posted August 16, 2018 Too scary, 1/10. By the way, did you ever incorporate the default A3 animal sounds into your scripts/mods? There are several animal sounds for a bunch of animals (Crickets, flies, dogs, goats, birds, etc.) within the game that can be referenced without needing to add custom sound files. I think I PM'd you a while back about how to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebuckfastwine 1230 Posted August 16, 2018 Cool stuff, I use your stuff all the time to create a nice atmosphere around me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11275 Posted August 16, 2018 @phronk, Regarding the Animals Extended mod, all sounds are present and correct, but never quite managed to get sound for insects working yet, I managed to find the pbo's with the vanilla sounds but struggled to add the correct path to the config, eventually gave up. (I remember the PM you sent, but didn't want to continually bug ya about it) I'll go back and take a fresh look at implementing them as it's the most popular of all the mods in my workshop. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flinty 454 Posted August 16, 2018 I really enjoy the sullen skys mod mate, nice little one for ambience time to time. Question though, is there anyway to edit how the night sky would look (in terms of stars etc) because I'd really like to see a night sky for desert maps that reflect what it's really like in the middle east. None of these desert maps can get anymore immersive without a proper realistic night sky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malcain 35 Posted October 16, 2018 Tried sullen skies. Unfortunately it doesn't really lowers cloud height. It looks like some kind of filter that tries to simulate lower cloud height. If you see a mountain far away which goes above the clouds, it isn't really is above them once you get closer to it(which can cause an issue when player1 can see player2, but player2 cannot see player1). Another issue is that while the clouds themselvels look good, their transition looks unrealistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11275 Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks for the feedback, although it's a little confusing... On 10/16/2018 at 8:20 AM, Malcain said: Unfortunately it doesn't really lowers cloud height. It looks like some kind of filter that tries to simulate lower cloud height. Sorry, but it does in fact lower base cloud significantly... Default values: cloudBaseKm=2.8499999 Sullen Skies values: cloudBaseKm=0.2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Default values: cloudBaseKm=2.8499999 Sullen Skies values: cloudBaseKm=0.2 Nothing to do with tweaks made by Sullen Skies, probably more to do with how trueSky renders the weather/cloud system around the player. Regarding the player1/player2 thing you mention, in a MP environment the only weather that is properly synchronised on a server is fog and rain, however overcast values (which is what Sullen Skies modifies) aren't synchronised so client and server can have differing overcast values. But hey....at least there's no ads! Weather can be synchronized in MP via scripting. It was a hard thing to accomplish, but on my server all players have same overcast/wind values dynamicly changing along with fog and rain. As for cloud height, I guess it's either due to how the sullen skies clouds are rendered, or due to how cloudbasekm operates (because you can go above the clouds with truesky). I will try to turn off sullen skies rendering and watch how it works without it, maybe that will help. Yeah, it's just a feedback, thanks for a try, I was looking for mod that operates with cloud height and look, will let you know if I manage to make it suit MP environment (and thanks for no ads :'Ъ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hey....at least there's no ads! Unfortunately it appeared to mostly be caused by arma rendering issue, no way for us to have proper clouds below mountains until arma 4 I guess:( While I like how sullen skies clouds look, the way they move is not looking good either, but again, it's not a mod problem, but arma's very limited use of TrueSky technology :C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
