=== Skymod for M2TW ===



Here is a short list of what [[HorseArcher]] has tried to implement in his mod:

* correct all small problems, or whatever problems i see or find during my customization
* Reduce the fog globaly on all climates
* Increase sunny the weather patterns according to the climate type
* Increase the chances of some rare events, such as blizzards and thunder storms
* customize weather events by chaining them into one (sunny to rainy, rainy to sunny, cloudy to clear etc)
* customize the clouds, try using alternative custom made clouds
* Increase the speed of the clouds (visually very cool)
*build custom effects
* reduce bloom lighthing globally
* Create custom weathers
* Create custom climates
* Create custom weather phenomenas (as far as the modding and the engine and my experience let's me), such as heavier dust/wind/rain/snow/fog/ effects as well as custom made weather effects (light/heavy snow; light,medium,heavy rain etc)
* Attempt to re-activate disabled effects (overcast)


When installing this mod for M2TW, two things are important to remember:

#You will need to activate the '''Shader 2''' graphics option for this mod to work.
#You will need to use the '''--IO. file_first''' command to get this mod to work.

The install instructions for this can be found on the Total War Center download page for this mod, see below:
