It`s been tested with TNT and 3dfx...
No black spots (If you see any with this file those will be bandits !! ) . I`ll try to fix my other cloud file.

The London Fog package should be ready in a week. Has many levels of fog.

Get your file here. http://members.xoom.com/Pretzelworks/

Both look GREAT from the screenshots (although it's a bit hard to tell from the small pics on the site!)

Are you sure youre flying EAW? That dont look like no EAW but a whole new SIM! HAHAHA

All these addons/improvements have made EAW a totally different sim all together.

GREAT JOB GUYS!

Bigshot:

[...clouds are a single *.ter file...just dropped it into the EAW folder...imagine that it'll need to go into each estab terrain subfolder. Otherwise it'll get deleted when I change terrains. Am I correct on this?]

You can prevent it from being deleted in the EAW directory when the terrain changes simply by making the file "Read-only". (Go to the clouds file, right click, left click on Properties, find "Attributes", and place a check mark in the Read-only box)

I just posted Horizon clouds ver2. I blended the base of the clouds and added some fluffy-ness to the gray color too.

Plz give me some feedback , TNT owners let me know if you see any spots.

Nice to see guys are getting the clouds to work with STAB 1.3.

If you would like to make you own sky/horizon
or cloud texture. 1st you'll need the pic-pac utility program. The PCX files need to be 128x128 pixels, also You'll have to blend the gray haze in your horizon pcx or you will see a square boxed eaw horizon.

Cloud files are:
BNcloud0.ter
BNcloud1.ter (overcast sky you see in view objects menu.)
BNcloud2.ter

Sky/Horizon are:
BNhorizn.ter
BNSkyblu.ter

When working with sky/clouds, the 128x128 pcx file gets stretched across most of the sky, so its had to get allot of detail.

E-mail me and ill send you my three .PCX templates to help you get started.

However, on my Matrox G400 Max w/ latest drivers, I get small black dots on the top of the clouds in the forward view at 1600 x 1200. Is there anyway to fix this. These clouds really make EAW much better.

A question. I have a Matrox G400 16MB and with the latest drivers 5.52.015, I am getting flickering messages in the virtual cockpit (1280x1?). I can only drive my monitor at 70Mhz and Matrox support are saying this is the problem. However, it did NOT happen with the 5.41 drivers. How is yours going?

I haven't had any problems with the Pretzel site, but if you need something I could send a C-47 out your way!

The chutes should be opening at the drop zone!

Your cloud-eaw.zip is not working!

I still have the 5.41 drivers because the newer version seems only to have added support for Open GL that the shooter fans want. However, I have had since day one the problem of a periodic flash view of the virtual cockpit when flying without it, which is very annoying. I never had that problem with my Viper 550 TNT, but I prefer the Matrox Millennium for the picture quality.

For any Matrox or video problems, I highly recommend the Matrox Users site below. I got a lot of help there on Matrox and other hardware problems (including overclocking) from the very knowledgeable users on that forum. Definitely a must since Matrox unfortunately does NOT support their excellent hardware. The people who run the site seem like jerks, but the users are a dedicated bunch who know their stuff since Matrox is used for so many professional, video editing, and business applications. Come to think of it, they may have some good thoughts on the EAW code-breaking stuff even though most of them don't appear to play it.

Cheers and thanks again for your Stab program which I use as the starting point for all things EAW. A truly fine product.

The horizon clouds look fine, but I still get black dots on the layer of clouds. I have a TNT-1. Thanks for the effort!

Wizkid, you sure you got that file on my web site ?

I was working with Night palette in EAW but never up-loaded any file.

Also TNT user dont use the Fluffy top cloud layer because of black spots. I think I know which color is causing this problem and will fix later.

Sorry I dont know how to exactly use the clouds and sky in STAB but isnt there something in the readme file about adding other files ?

Cheers Pretzel
