Is it possible to save & then load an atmosphere preset? I can't locate the relevant folders.

Seems like loading custom presets is impossible at the moment because they won't show up in the list. That is a bug though and should be fixed soon (at least I hope so)

Relic clearly wanted to disable modding support. They did that by blocking "unofficial" sga archives. Since they re-enabled -dev mode they had to get rid of the -dev mode's nature of loading uncompressed data. It seems that WorldBuilder suffered from this action as well.

Hold the shift key down while you click the Load button in the Atmosphere Properties dialog.

Astounding work!

That looks to have done the job. I'm checking out a few things now, but that method looks good to me.

[Edit]

I'm afraid that this hasn't worked for me. Can anybody else report if it has for them?

At present, you can save the files, but loading them doesn't actually do anything, and you cannot physically add files to Atmosphere Transitions.

Loading the WB at home, I see how you guys have a strange treeview window. At work, we just get a standard windows open dialogue box - may have been someone's intention to make the atmosphere settings more user friendly (they certainly scare me), but backfired a bit. I'll let someone know, but I'm not sure how soon this would be fixed.

Previously you would have to exctract archieves and put them into the right places in order to access atmosphere settings and grass etc...
IIRC the situation as it is now, was a workaround to make it easier for newcomers by loading the archieves by default. But as a consequence, we can't save our own settings anymore, because only the archieves are loaded.

Yeah, I was actually the one who asked them to try to make that dialogue a bit more user friendly and include some pre-mades so people didn't have to bang their head against the wall messing with the sliders, but I guess it wasn't taken into account.

Been using this tool for 8 years and I still can't make a damn atmosphere that looks decent.

I'm glad the decision was made, to be fair! There's far less hassle involved, but transitions are out of the question now.

And you're not alone. Working on maps for vCOH mods, it was consistently the one thing that everyone wanted changing once a map of mine was finished. All the more reason I'm grateful for the Relic pre-mades! It gives us somewhere to start!

SHOUT IT OUT!

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
