while this is not neccessarilly optimal...i have to say, it is quite nice to fly in.
load a map with clouds already on it...change the visibility and colors to shades of gray and voila! yucky weather!
would love to see these settings implemented in one of the mains or in a scenario sometime. :)

lol sunking.
with all the complaining about weather, i am surprized that this hasn't gotten much in the way of responses.
odd. but then, there it is.

OK, thanks!
That map looks cool.
-
it's one of the standard ones...that much i know. i think the clouds were over A1 on the map.
will let you know.
:)
-
Wow, looks cool :aok
-
okay. the map is baltic.
i have recreated the effect again in my offline settings.
does anyone know if there is a text file somewhere that i can copy and paste my offline arena settings for anyone interested in trying it out?
-
your fire looks better than mine. Although, fire (and tracers sometimes) really kills my frame rates.
Good fire.
wrngway
-
yep. good fire.
i was most surprized by that result.
wasn't on purpose...just happened when i changed the environment.
darker sky and light = better fire. (i think)
:aok

Apparently the color sky data does not carry over to recorded fims :mad:

worked for me. are you saving your settings or just previewing them?

Yea I just noticed it this morning that I wasn't saving it. What color numbers are you using for your sky?
-
anyone know if there a config file that i can access to find all of that out or do i need to write it all down from the arena settings in game?
:confused:
-
yeah, i think arena.cfg has all the arena values in it.
colours as well as all the other settings
-
btw 88, are you running an old version of AH?
those terrain tiles look like the nasty old ones with no depth perception...
and the old tracer effects...
-
yes. the screen shots that i posted were taken during that brief ugly phase that we went through prior to the latest graphical enhancements. it was actually the reason that i started experimenting with the arena settings.
i have retested it on the new version and it looks really even better.
maybe someone out there can whisper in their ear and ask them to give it a try in the arenas one day. how cool would that be?
:aok
-
here are the settings that i currently have loaded as my arena config file. not sure if these are right...i think they are though because i know that i set the visibility value to five miles. this version is a bit darker than the original, but you can toy with the settings in any way that you want. i also changed the light color from white to a shade of gray for a deeper mood. the images shown above are not quite as dark as this version...the clouds in particular are much darker. also...it was A4, not A1 on the Baltic map that i have been experimenting with. bases without clouds are still a nice rainy day gray...but not quite as dramatic.
maybe someone would try it out and see if these are the correct settings? (might want to save the old one first tho)

Nice pics..I wish I had a pc that could handle that setting.
-
i think this config looks a bit more natural.
here's a screenie.

still may not be quite it...but i'm having fun tinkering.

I'm not one of the weather fanbois, but that looks pretty good.
-
looks great, not sure it will work in MA though...
and its not exactly a local thing where you can fly out of it, its the whole 256miles.... thats one big cloud! lol
-
it doesnt have to be...its the same as it is regularly anywhere else...its just dense grays and cloud cover, which could still be a welcome change. i don't see where it would effect anything as far as performance...its just decreasing visibility and changing colors. all there is to it.
give it a try. you might like it.
:aok
(note: on the last screenie, the visibility was set @ ten miles. you could still effectively bomb, see the enemy etc.)
