Brand new version of widely acclaimed weather mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call Of Pripyat. This time enchanced with accurate sun position, longer nights lit by the moon with it's phases, new dangerous event: psi storm, reworked weather behaviour, distant storms, meteor showers and many more tweaks.
FEATURES:
- 3 additional dynamic weather cycles (partly cloudy, foggy, very foggy)
There are now 7 (instead of 4) weather cycles (clear, partly cloudy, foggy, very foggy, cloudy, rainy and stormy).
- Correct sun position according to geographical (Chernobyl location) and astronomical (as for 15 Aug) data.
- Longer nights with the real moon that casts dynamic shadows and change the phases.
- Altered weather behaviour.
There are now 2 main weathers cycles, good and bad. They change in 2h - 12h periods. The weather still changes from hour to hour within each period.
- Different weather balance graphs for each area.
Zaton is often foggy as it is a swamp like area. Jupiter is mostly clear with more storms. Pripyat is rainy and stormy so don't expect much sun there.
- Full weather cycle (static) for Jupiter Underground.
- 150+ new rendered photorealistic sky-cube textures featuring skyline with Chernobyl NPP, Limansk radar and Red Forest Brainscorcher.
- Increased vision distance for clear (x3), partly cloudy(x3) and cloudy(x2) weathers.
- Reduced vision distance for storms (x0.6), fog (x0.4) and thick fog (x0.1).
- Dynamic Depth Of Field (DOF)
- DOF is changing with vision distance and depends on the weather. I.E. on clear day the distant object are sharp but fog will blur them.
- Blowout - replaced vanilla blowout sequence
Particle waves sweeping across the area. New sound and environment effects created by imperialreign. Various NPCs fate after blowout (those not in the cover). Various blowout warnings.
- Fallout - radioactive and chemical fallouts happen from time to time.
- Psi Storm - the new kind of weather anomaly that is very dangerous to unequipped stalkers. Psi radiation cumulates in vortices which generate high psi levels when they discharge.
- Optional high-resolution texture pack
- In game settings for night brightness, weather periods length and balance settings, NPC fate, event warnings etc. (see Options section)
- Included Ambient Audio Overhaul Core by imperialreign
- Optional bonus: NanoHud
Eeek!
so excited.
Time to make some particles >:D
I,m going to take this as an early birthday present (its on Monday). Thanks.
Happy stalking... sorry... birthday!
Sweet, getting it now.
What is nano HUD ?
Small bonus for AF3. Check this screenshot: Moddb.com
This is awesome, but is it compatible with complete?
Of course not.
Thanks for the work. I expected the 11-th numbers, but it came out before and it's great news.
You mean '11. It means 2011 not 11th :)
No, I meant 11 July. And thank you very much for the Russian language in vogue!
Thank Tha_ReapeR. He's done the translation.
I have a Problem with AF3 Setup .The Next Button is not click.

Turn off the Aero theme in your desktop settings (use classic windows theme). For some reason the setup doesn't show you the radiobuttons to accept the license.
After installing turn it back on.
Also sorry about that and thanks for letting me know about this issue
At last:)
Did not work.

Hmmm... works for me even with Aero on. Anyway, after clicking 'Next' on welcome screen click Tab then cursor up on the licence screen. You should see 'next' button active.
Thanks, this worked. I was having the same problem.
"accept license-****, or die" -- great: any of this method is dont work for me. Mod is sounds great, but this installer is ******* pile of ****.
Nice work as always Cromm!
Everything works not.Thanks for your help.

awesome downloading now! :>
do i have to deinstall complete mod for cop first? also: do i have to download some texturepacks or other stuff too, or is everything inside the file that makes it look like on your screens? :)
Remove Complete and install AF3 along with Absolute Texture packs from addons section. Your game will look like on my screens. TBH Complete has ATPs included anyway so there won't be much difference except AF3 is prettier, haha :)
BTW everything is in F.A.Q.
Thats right:)
Almost all using Your Absolute Textures and Atmosfear in Their mods:)
thanks for response! :)
Best weather Mod for stalker! :)
But sometimes white clouds in night (moon? In AF2) make me ...
And, no adaptation to Clear Sky in plans?
Those bright night clouds from AF2 are not in AF3 anymore. See screenhots and videos.
man i really wish this mod would work with the I Work Alone Mod. or any other mod in that case
Very little glitch with 16:9 resolution and text alignement in NanoUI!
Magazine counter is out of the box!
Same for me. For higher resolutions there is something wrong with the vanilla text definitions. Also xRay has a proper support only for 4:3 and 16:10.
Dear mister Cromm Cruac...

Fantastic Mod that actually works in comparison to COP Complete...
I'm laughing about all the different Sun and Moon phases because all I've seen is fog and rain in the first section but still fantastic :>)
Ran into a Psi emmission storm near the Iron Forrest after paying someone to take me there and had to dash for cover while having a Sprite throw boxes at me. Died three or four times before figuring out where to dash and hide at master level setting. Had to dash out of the area and shoot the dam thing with a sniper-like modified rifle before entering the area. Lots of new fun there! Crazy stuff!
Since COP complete has screwed the pooch on their mod I have a wish list.
Maybe you could incorporate some improvements in the NPC's/Monsters modeling in your mod.
And also for those that can't understand Polish/Slavic languages subtitles when NPC characters speak to each other in non english.
And as a last wish I have questions about difference in colors compared to COP complete. The colors still seem quite muted in the general landscape. I don't know what you've modded concerning this (Maybe none) but it would be nice since COP complete is ultimate crash master and game save destroyer ever made. LOL!
Since AF is a weather mod I won't be adding any models. I'll let the others do it.
If I remember correctly there is a mod that adds the subtitles. I don't remember where I've seen it though. Try to search GSC forum.
I've never played or even installed Complete but from screenshots I could tell that there is no proper white balance applied in Complete. Everything is too red. See this simple color balance comparison: Img23.imageshack.us You can see all lines are paralel in AF3 but the blue one is not in Complete.
Thanks for responding. I installed the nature pack 2.0 and all I can say is fantastic! With your weather system and the improved landscape it gives me 95% of what a complete mod gives with none of the headaches. Maybe you could have a second add-on for things you think could still be improved that isn't part of the weather. So far the only really unusual thing I've found different is after a blowout there are no artifacts at the burnt homestead. Also I've had no crashes and I'm running vista 64 (4 Gigs) at a 1440x900 resolution with everything cranked up on a ATI 3870. Looks great. :>)
CrommCruac amazing work

Pretty cool, only bad things that have happened to me, is that sometimes when i die, and am loading a save, or traveling from one area to another, the game crashes... and the distant places that you see in the background, what i mean is like how you can see the chernobyl npp in the distance, basicly that area, all around the map, likes to be seen through hills. Basically, sometimes when i can see the CNPP through hills, trees, and things like that.
Crashing when moving between areas happen to me even in vanilla.
And translucent hills are a result how xRay handles the blending with the sky-box in FDL mode. Nothing can be done with that.
lol, i had 32 hours in the game on steam, before getting this mod, with maybe a minimum of 3 - 5 crashes total... now i have had a total of around im guessing, 20 - 30 crashes... WTF?!?! somewhat unstable mod...
You need a lot of RAM to play with AF. The mod is designed for computers with at least 2GB (with low res textures). Even if you have more xRay becomes unstable when using more RAM.
CrommCruac can you build Option Pack like AtmosFear 1.3
What for? You have the same options in game now.
i need wide - yelow sun tint with hemisphere.I love that option
Color balance options are no longer available I'm afraid. Too many variations of the files needed. There are 111 config files already. Making options for color balance will multiply their number 4 times.
ok,I Understand
Hey can i just copy this into over the old files in the I work Alone 1.2 Mod? :P
I haven't tried but

AtmosFear 3 works with I Work Alone 1.2, but takes away some of the core elements of the IWA Mod like the use of sleeping pills and the sleeping bag. This is the only major thing I could find as of current.
Looks amazing.
At CrommCruc
How do i get it to work with the I Work Alone mod?
