Real Lighting and Weather

Real Lighting and Weather is an overhaul of lighting and weather on all A3 vanilla maps + some custom ones..

The mod was originally developed for Second Wind total conversion mod but I decided it's time to share it with everyone.

Includes:

• Mediterrean setup for: Malden, Altis, Stratis, rof_Ammoulliani, Anizay.
• Eastern Setup for Livonia, Ruha.
• Pacific Setup for Tanoa, Archipelago, Isla Nueva, Colombia.
• Subtropic lighting and biome setup for Tembelan.
• Partial setup for: Mull of Kyntire. May also work on some other maps but won't fit them that well without fine tuning.
• Chernarus 2020 (crash reports when in fly mode, not to be fixed).

2 Weather Effects (don't impact perfomance):

• Rendering effect which simulates rain at distance and removes "sky stripes glitch" during foggy weather (known as DirectX bug).
• Raindrops on surfaces when it's raining.

Features:

• Detailed sun, moon and ambient illumination of terrain depending on the weather and time of day.
• Sun and Moon illumination changes depending on weither clouds cover sun/moon or not.
• Brighter nights. Adjustable via moon phase and fog density.
• Dark greyish fog in overcast and at night.
• Advanced Skybox setup
• Custom moon object and halo setup.
• Customized rain and lightnings.
• Custom clutter (grass and debris) on some terrains.

P.S.

• Multiplayer dynamic weather system coupled with lighting of this pack is featured in Second Wind mod. You're welcome to hop in and play.
