I have been trying to use the Cloud Editor to create a new cloud type to put into a terrain but the cloud fronts that I create using my new cloud type are not visible in the terrain when viewed offline. Having asked around it seems that no one else creating weather for terrains has tried making their own clouds, they just use the CE's standard ones. However these standard clouds won't achieve what I want for my terrain.
There are practically no instructions for the CE so just in case this is not a bug and I have used it incorrectly here is my process for creating a new cloud type:-
In the "Cloud" tab of the editor I enter a name in the "Desc" box and set it up as cloud type 12. Saving the new cloud created a couple of files in the terrain's "chconfig" folder; "name.cpa" and "cld12.cld". (BTW I have tried copying these two files to other AH folders but it made no difference).
Moving to the "Weather" tab in the CE I set up a front using my new cloud type 12 and hit "Submit". I then save the weather which creates an "awa" file in the ah3terr folder and this file does correctly list my new type 12 front. After exiting the CE I use the TE to build the terrain. I then start the game offline and move to where the new type 12 cloud front should be, but there are no clouds there. However other cloud fronts created using the CE's standard type 0-11 fronts, even in the same weather file, are visible.
Assuming this is a bug, either in the CE or the game itself, can you please fix it?
