I want to ask about earth.mis.dml file which is required to run your mod. I also use SS2 CyberBlutch Rebirth 03 mod, which require same file. Any way to merge those files?

Thanks again

« on: 27. September 2013, 08:58:48 »I still can't get this mod to work?
I tried using the latest system shock tool which added enhanced_sky 1 into cam.cfg, I've also added enhanced_sky 1 into cam_ext and inserted all files and folders to their proper places but it still isn't working?
I've tried starting several new games rather than loading previous save points to see if it helps but it doesn't?

« on: 26. September 2013, 17:05:47 »no problem. just make sure to use the DataPermMods folder. and no ";" just enhanced_sky 1
Posted by: dava6711
« on: 26. September 2013, 15:21:34 »Thank you for the response, but won't that overwrite my entire fam folder?
Also, do I need to add a ";" before I add the string or is simply adding "enhanced_sky 1" enough?

« on: 26. September 2013, 15:09:53 »that won't work.
do that, and you can't go wrong. do something else, and you will. enhanced_sky 1 can be added anywhere, as long as it's a new, clean, unused line.extract to your DataPermMods folder, and make sure you have enhanced_sky 1 in your cam.cfg (or cam_ext.cfg). if you are using the GOG version, you will need to update your game as described here first.

« on: 26. September 2013, 14:08:49 »I've added the files to the correct folders (I think)?
I never replaced the entire 'FAM' folder in my shock directory I simply added the file (clouds95.dds) from the downloaded mod and placed it into the previously empty skyhw folder and added the other remaining files as described in the provided readme.
I'm having difficulty with the cam_ext file, do I simply add the string "enhanced_sky 1" anywhere within the cam_ext file or do I need to add the entry at a soecicific point and do I need to add any other values as I can't get it working, the sky is still static for me?
Thank you

« on: 22. May 2013, 22:39:59 »Let me add that since SS2Tool 5.1, "enhanced_sky 1" is set by default.
Posted by: voodoo47
« on: 22. May 2013, 21:15:08 »very late reply - you will also need to have enhanced_sky 1 in your cam.cfg (or cam_ext.cfg) for this to actually work.
Posted by: bluemess
« on: 05. April 2013, 12:56:14 »Simplest way for this to work: copy “FAM” folder and “earth.mis.dml” to your “DataPermMods” and you're done. No need to touch “cam_mod.ini”.
Note that newsky might not show up if you load a save game made before this mod was applied. In that case you will have to start a new game.

« on: 16. March 2013, 07:03:24 »Because i wanted a little wider public attention to the effort I uploaded the video to youtube, linked to the thread and credited the author (if i got the name wrong lemme know i'll change it.)
Just kindof didn't like the video only existing on a single site. After all some of the older material points to megaupload which is dead.

« on: 15. March 2013, 18:52:57 »this is how i did it. added enhanced_sky 1 to cam.cfg in root folder. put cam_mod.ini in root folder.
put earth.mis.dml and FAM folder into datapermmod folder. voila, it works.

« on: 15. March 2013, 13:23:00 »I'm having trouble installing this mod. I started with a fresh install of GOG version SS2. I ran SStool5.0 with default settings and updated. Then I installed my mods. Reading this thread I have the clouds95.dds file in DataPermMods\FAM\skyhw\clouds95.dds. I put enhanced_sky 1 in cam.cfg located in root folder. Didn't work. I tried every possible thing I could think of; I extracted the newsky folder in DataPermMods, I deleted the cam_mod.ini from DataPermMods, I deleted the cam_mod.ini from the root folder. I merged the two cam_mod.inis. I copied/moved/replaced the earth.mis.dml file, etc.
I don't even care about this mod. It's not like this is a map for a mission. I'm just walking across to the building lol. I just want to make it work.

Have been using this site for about 3 years and playing SS2 for 10, everytime I leave it for a year or two and come back, there's more great content (and even more modding methods lol) to be found.
Only still struggling with Vurt's mods, unfortunately.

as for the mm, until somebody makes one, you are out of luck.

« on: 17. February 2013, 03:58:00 »Oh for crying out loud. My apologies, I did NOT follow instructions. Although my question regarding other files stands.
Posted by: Shinobi
« on: 17. February 2013, 03:53:08 »Have (definitely) followed all instructions, also using SS2Tool v5.0. Nothing but a blank orange sky.
Unless... does it all go in DataPermMods folder? Or does the cam_mod.ini file belong somewhere else? Don't particularly fancy overwriting my current one just in case.
What about earth.mis.dml? The instructions only state what to do with the FAM folder. If FAM placement is all which is required, I'd suggest removing other files from download and uploading as separate download if they are some kinda source files.
Have been playing modded ss2 for years but now MM is no longer an option... gonna be subjected to a lot more born-again-n00bs like me!

« on: 15. February 2013, 19:14:12 »don't forget, if you are using the GOG version, you will need to update your game as described here first.
then you can extract the FAM folder from this mod to the DataPermMods folder (so you will have DataPermMods\FAM\skyhw\clouds95.dds). if you won't get the location right, you will only have the solid yellow sky.
Oh ok. Sorry I'm new to modding. Literally haven't played this game in a decade until yesterday. Didn't see that thread.
Thanks very much!

Using the GOG version if that matters. Why can't I get it to work

pulled straight out of the new demo. load as any other SS2 mod, and make sure you have enhanced_sky 1 in your cam.cfg (or cam_ext.cfg).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji2e_ePmzhA
edit: added the static version. it looks exactly like the dynamic one, but it is, well, static - that means it should be much less taxing on the gpu. if you want a nicer looking sky, but your integrated graphics card just can't handle the dynamic version without serious FPS drops, the static might cut it for you.
