steelflanker Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Alternative Overcast Layer for the SF2 Series View File Alternative Overcast Layer for the SF2 Series I have been playing around with various textures for a while now & I am quite pleased with the results. So I thought I would share them.:-) Hope you enjoy SF This package contains top & bottom replacement textures for the overcast cloud layer & a modified ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI. Instillation: ------------- Place all the bitmap & ini files in to your : Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 \Flight folder. Warning!!! ---------- If you are already using a modified ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI Don’t install this version!!! Instead edit the ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI already in your mods/ Flight folder & make sure it reads as follows: [CloudLayer] TopTexture=CloudLayerTop%d.bmp BottomTexture=CloudLayerBottom%d.bmp Material=CloudLayerMaterial TileCount=21 <------------------------------------------- NearTileCount=5 <------------------------------------------- TileSize=8000.0 <------------------------------------------- Thanks, Credet & acknowledgements. ---------------------------------- All the files included in this mod are NOT my work & remain the property of their original creators or owners! Original bottom layer texture: A Flanker 2.5 overcast effect mod by the Pretzelworks. Original top layer textures: The official UBI Soft Lock On Demo & Overcast Cloud MOD 3.1 by BoboCop. ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM.INI: Thirdwire. Submitter steelflanker Submitted 03/12/2011 Category Environmental Mods Quote
FrankD Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) It looks very pleasing Stealflanker. Would you recommend it for all terrains and are there other "horizon mod", ala WideSky for example, you would recommend to use along? (I've to admit that I'm a bit lost amongst all the sky related mods) Edited March 12, 2011 by FrankD Quote

(I've to admit that I'm a bit lost amongst all the sky related mods) They will work with any terrain & all SF2 titles. They should also work with all SFP 1 titles but I haven’t tested them my self. Almost all other cloud mods use a heavily modified Environmentsystem.ini file. Make sure you only install the bitmap textures included in this package & not the Environmentsystem.ini. Other wise it could mess up the way your other cloud mods work! Then open your existing Environmentsystem.ini make sure that the [CloudLayer] section reads as follows. [CloudLayer] TopTexture=CloudLayerTop%d.bmp BottomTexture=CloudLayerBottom%d.bmp Material=CloudLayerMaterial TileCount=21 <------------------------------------------- NearTileCount=5 <------------------------------------------- TileSize=8000.0 <-------------------------------------- As long as the setting match these above it should work beautifully with any other other cloud mods you have installed. ;- ) SF Edited March 13, 2011 by steelflanker Quote
FrankD Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Steelflanker. You are right, my Environmentsystem.ini is definitely perverted so I carefully followed your instructions in the ini and it's all fine. Quote
