This is the full version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Weather Overhauled v2.2.

[b][u]Features:[/u][/b]

[b]- compatibilty packages for AMK v1.4 (incl. translated eng v1.x and v2.x series) and OLP v1.3.3 (separate readme's in proper folders)[/b]

[b]- new, completely overhauled weather settings for all outdoor game levels (full and unified cycle for Cordon, Garbage, Pripyat, Yantar, Dark Valley etc) making the game radically changed in its visual outcome.[/b]

[b]- included Sky4CE SkyGraphics Mod v1.77 - introduced depth of field effect[/b]

- more detailed weather cycle, number of phases multiplied (there are more than 40 phases of the cycle, instead of vanilla 24) - a lot of 30 minutes and even 15 minutes phases (instead of commonly used 1h ones) to better reflect and control the subtle lighting weather changes

- cycle synchronized for Kiev, UK, 01.05.2012 (original idea by MrKlorox Badmagic and their DarkerNights mod, so credits for it go to them), timings takne by web calculators , accurracy - minute scale.

- new, sun-based lighting system which makes the game look much more like real-life. During the day the sun always gives at least some lighting, but the color, intensity of it and the way it transits form one setting to another is depended on the time, clouds, fog, angle etc.

- proper light and shadow balance. Shadows are properly desaturated and dark and accurately contrasted with areas lighted up by the sun.

- completely re-done sun and shadow positioning - shadows are realistically long and point to the proper direction. All this perfectly synchronized with time of day, geographical orientation (sun rises in the east and sets in the west) and visible sun position.

- visible sun travel "emulated" with proper sky texture transition and sky texture color settings

- realistic sunsets and sunrises

- effective, completely redone rain periods and thunder-storms

- included StalkerSkies and S.H.A.R.P.E.R.v95

- included thunder sounds by Darius6 and Hectrol, also reconfigured thunderbolts to make them more random and effective

- three optional night variations - darker, brighter and normal

- BETA FEATURE: added full weather cycle for all indoor game levels - so that you can see the proper weather trough all gaps, windows, holes etc.
