Same old scattersky

Tom Spilman said in this thread that the scattersky object was to be reworked.

I see it didn't make it into T3D 1.2.
Is there an ETA for this? I hope it's a patch instead of a 1200MB download! ;D
Thanks

I am not sure if these changes made it into 1.1's release. The post you are referencing was for the 1.1 work before the shutdown of InstantAction. The 1.1 work was refactored after we rebooted, and I'm not sure it made it into the refactor. The best way to see would be to check beta 3 versus the 1.1 final release. As far as I know, we did not have any Scatter Sky work targets for 1.2 at all.

David,
It does sound like you are sure that nothing else is in the works.
That's what I wanted to know so I could get back to modding it. Such work would be for nothing if an official re-write was coming.
Thanks

@Michael
Id be interested in seeing how that fix is done if you wouldn't mind sharing it once its completed. Thats something that I was hoping for in the 1.2 release.

Paul,
Not a problem but I'm no programmer; it will be a hack. So far, the best results I've had come from changing several values over time. My object was to improve sunset colors, smooth out the transition from day to night and back and to hold the size of the sun's disk constant throughout. I've been close and I'll get back on it soon...;)
