Cloud height.
« on: July 25, 2016, 01:29:53 pm »

Is there a way to lower the height of clouds such that they form at around 6000 to 7000 feet?

Somehow it's not working. What am I doing wrong? The cloud base is still the same even though I edited the cloud parameters using notepad++.

Could you give me your planet.cfg file? I have admin rights still it's not working. Or could you guide me through the whole process?

Open planet.cfg (in your Outerra user directory: C:\User\Yourname\Outerra\data\earth2)

Add (if not present):

Code: [Select]
clouds =  (cloud_params) {
base = 3000.0, 
height = 5000.0
},

For your settings, you can use:

Code: [Select]
clouds =  (cloud_params) {
base = 6000.0, 
height = 5000.0
},

The parameters seems to be in feets.

If you want dynamic weather, there is Langdon's plugin: http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=2705.msg41630#msg41630
