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)
