Campaign Weather Overhaul (includes The Old World Map)

Description
Mod is fully compatible with Immortal Empires Expanded, and The Old World map, but place mine first in the load order!

*Screenshots are very outdated, will upload new one soon*

INTRODUCTION
This mod is a complete overhaul of campaign map lighting and weather. I have created and added more than 200 new environments, with more than 60 new weather effects for Realms of Chaos, Immortal Empires, Immortal Empires Expanded and The Old World map. This mod puts visuals and immersion over gameplay, so some areas might not be visually optimal for everyone.

I highly recommend using Improved Campaign Camera mod.

THE OLD WORLD

Foggier and gloomier than vanilla (especially Middenland and the Drakwald), with areas of intermittent rain. The southern areas are sunnier.

Icefire Plains
As the name suggests, a hellish land ravaged by both fire embers and ashes as well as snow.

Southern Wastes, Abyssal Glacier & Daemonium Hills
Chaotic and arctic feel, with both ash fall and violent gusts of snowstorm.

COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with everything that doesn't affect the campaign weather files. Fully compatible with all the Forestry mods

Ultimate Lighting 2.0: it's fully compatible as long as you place my mod before his in the load order (put mine above). This way, both work properly!

SPECIAL THANKS
To CA for creating this massive game.
To Frodo45127 for creating Rusted PackFile Manager.
To Mazisky for his initial tips and for his visual mods that gave me the idea to start exploring the game files myself and discover all their weathery potential.

@TheOpiumMan Hey there, need to take a look but I'm not quite sure it will be possibile

@Sfero green tint is only limited to the Warpstone Desert, which is lorewise a toxic radioactive wasteland. Are you seeing green elsewhere?
Sfero 10 Oct @ 4:33pm 
Cathay is glitched. The maps light is soooo green

Hey John Matrix, do you think it would be possible to combine your mod with this amazing new creation by Chaos Robbie?

So, from just the latest comments I assume it's confirmed that this works fine with IEE? Also SFO?

Matrix, Your rock! much appriciated
NoRespect 28 Sep @ 1:00pm 
everything cool now. thx for the quick fix

Ok, all clear. My bad! I had completely fumbled my last quick update to upgrade the vanilla IE map as well in addition to IEE (which i had initially forgotten). OOPS! That's what a typo does.
It's fixed now! Re-sub to the mod if it's not working (aka you're still getting bonkers lighting and crazy colors).

@NoRespect Hey there, mind being more specific? That kind of problems? Mind providing a screenshot?

@Wargear where? Do you have a screenshot?
Wargear 28 Sep @ 10:56am
