Always Overcast in Independance Campaign

[ShrikeHawk]

I'm playing the War of Independence campaign addon for SF2:I. Every single mission I've played so far has overcast skies.

 

Is that deliberate?

The overcast or inclement chance value may be set too high.

I have noticed same issue. Only in this campaign. And i don't think it's chance value setting. Any other ideas?

[ShrikeHawk]

Can the overcast chance setting be campaign-specific?

[+Fubar512]

Its terrain specific, but if one sets the overcast or inclement chance too high coniciding with the set time & duration of a campaign, then you'll wind up with those results.

 

If I were to redo it, I'd google "Tel Aviv, average sunshine by month", or something along those lines, to get an idea of what to set the values to.

Very cool. I didn't realize it could set based upon a time as well. What value in the terrain files do I need to look at? Is this in <terrain name>.ini?

yep; eg-

 

[WeatherChance]

OvercastChance=25

BrokenChance=45

ScatteredChance=22

InclementChance=8

IIRC the campaign is set in the winter months isn't it? And Israel doesn't always have clear blue skies at that time of year anyway.

It's set in october. I'm playing through that campaign now and I've been getting mostly broken or scattered clouds if any at all.

[ShrikeHawk]

What's the difference in your configuration, eraser_tr? I've only seen one kind of sky, overcast.

Okay, this is everything that's in my IsraelME.ini file...

 

[Terrain]

TerrainFullName=Israel, Middle East

DataFile=IsraelME_data.ini

[WeatherChance]

ScatteredChance=45

BrokenChance=30

OvercastChance=10

InclementChance=5

 

[AllowedDates]

StartDate=1947

EndDate=2050

 

I changed the WeatherChance values to what you see from this in the original...

 

[WeatherChance]

ScatteredChance=25

BrokenChance=25

OvercastChance=4

InclementChance=2

 

Why am I still only seeing Overcast in the campaign? Any ideas?
