Hey ol' Navy, we've been there before and everything magically went back to normal... did your campaigns re-appear? They should be exactly where you left them

Hey ol' Navy, we've been there before and everything magically went back to normal... did your campaigns re-appear? They should be exactly where you left them

Nope, a couple of them just went away.  It is the most amazing thing to me.  Let me tell you what I think my main problem is - I have two separate installs - one that I play DOF and one that I play WAW.  They are on separate drives.  Sometime I think I get confused which one is which and that causes me all sorts of headaches.  The campaign I "lost" that concerns me the most is one called Black Scorpions.  For some reason, it doesn't seem to want to load the P-40E's correctly and always, always ended up with those strange views of the skyline after seeming to load correctly.  Then, all of a sudden it worked, my progress was there, all was well.  Now, suddenly it's gone again, and I'm back to the way it was, all hosed up.  Oh well, no big deal.  I have more campaigns than I will be able to play in my lifetime, even without it.  I just am perplexed as to what I did wrong.  Thanks for your work and your interest and patience.

Warning! Random Skies v2.5 or higher and B.A.T. v3.0 / v3.1

Folks, if you use the Multiple User Profiles feature, go to IL-2\Profiles folder and rename these folders:

Users #DOF2 -> Users #DOF3
Users #TGA2 -> Users #TGA3
Users #WAW2 -> Users #WAW3
Users #JTW2 -> Users #JTW3

Otherwise your profiles will get mixed up. If you cannot find the IL-2\Profiles folder, forget about this notice.


Current Random Skies version won't work in B.A.T. v3.0 / v3.1. Find a temporal fix below (for v2.5 or higher only) while I put together an official version...

*** EDIT: Fix included in v2.6.1 ***

[whistler]

Here you go

v2.6.1 (13-08-2017)
- Official compatibility with B.A.T. v3 (#DOF3 #TGA3 #WAW3 #JTW3)
- Included two extra custom textures: ClearSkies.tga & HazySkies.tga

Just installed this in VP Mod! Awesome little tool Whistler, thank you!

This hole in the clouds effect has begun happening in about half of the Medium and Heavy textures. Any ideas? BAT 3.1.

[whistler]

Sorry flapper1, didn't see this one.

That has to do with your GPU settings (I think), anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering perhaps?. Try resetting your video card configuration. I am sure you figured something out already

Great program! There is also a need to make the program for selection the color of water and the color of the bottom near the coast.

Very good idea.

Exchanging a couple of sky textures in one thing but you guys will have to enlighten me: how do you see your idea executed in your mind? How practical is it to change water color in all maps in one go?

This however reminds me it is time for a little update. I have a good bunch of extra "clear" skies sitting here.

Hi Whistler.

Is Random Skies 2.6.1 compatible with BAT 3.7 Cirque? I'm having some trouble loading the game from the launcher.  Thanks for your great works.
