I'm going to refuse repacking under most circumstances. Map makers and server owners feel free to DM me though the usual channels. For possible dms search ruffaz on https://discord.com/servers/dayz-modders-452035973786632194.
Steam friend requests are going to be ignored, sorry.

Thanks so much for your support. It's a huge reward knowing that there are players out there who love immersion and the simple pleasure of a beautiful sky as much as I do. Thanks Dayz devs, for making the skies enhanced.

Updated Usage & Terms

Repacks?
Nope.

Aw why ruffaz, you used to let me repack?
Because I intend to update this mod more often, and dont want quality control out of my hands. This is one of the simplest mods on the workshop, conflicts are going to be rare.

Love it. Great for cinematic purposes or adding that special touch to the environment that the vanilla skies so harshly lack. Thanks

ruffaz, could I get permission to make a repack? Right now, the mod isn't working with the Area of ​​Decay (AOD) map; I added the map to the config but didn't do anything else.

Another minor update within 4 days wow. Nothing exciting, just texture fixes.

Fog haters try this patch, YMMV. It works for me, most of the time.

I havent tested extensively against local fixes like the DZconfig trick @KSI Asmodi posted below, and certain weather settings refuse to be overridden

Will server weather(fog) settings have priority over the mod?

FOG?

Try this in your DZconfig - put a bigger number in if it works and you want more distance

defaultVisibility=2000; // highest terrain render distance on server (if higher than "viewDistance=" in DayZ client profile, clientside parameter applies)


defaultObjectViewDistance=2000; // highest object render distance on server (if higher than "preferredObjectViewDistance=" in DayZ client profile, clientside parameter applies)
