As it is I figured out most of the WB-buttons and how-to`s, so now that I am building my third XL-sized map, I would need some hints on weather.
I can let it rain, fine, but my boys don`t complain about it and there was always a thing like "We are wet and wait for orders." and so on.
How do I make the rain influence this?

Then there is the railroad-tunnel on the Halbe map, how was this made? Okay, 15m bridge and..... movement blocker?

And last (for now) sunlight and soldierlight and how to make it night and after a time sunrise like the Orel map (or vice versa).

Well, that`s all

greetings and thanks

Hey Schulz!

1. No idea!
2. The railroad tunnel was placed in the none-playable-area and imported back to the playable area

3. Get two nice .aps files (like dawn & night), open one of these and go to the "Transistions" register and "Add" the other .aps file



Regards,
Mystic.

Then thanks so far....
Think I will skip 1. for now
2. will give a try
3. sounds like Corsix involved. There`s the catch: doesn`t work and no idea why. Corsix just says cannot open mod,blahblah, send error report.
Can anyone send me those files and some RTFM on how-to-include without Corsix?
Would be nice,
greetings and thanks again

Have no idea for the tunnel or the rain thing.



Sorry if this isn't helpful (sorry, I have no clue).

For saving .aps settings you will need Cope's WB fix. Then go to the bottom of your atmosphere settings window and register your other file there.
For the WB-fix: I don't think I am allowed to simply upload it for you, so send a PM to him and ask him for uploading it for you ;)

I looked at the tunnel thing, its just a bridge with a bunch of cliff rocks on top.






I'll try to make a video out of it.
