No plans for that unfortunately. I would love that idea but I don't know how to implement it.
I have some excellent news however...I have solved the "jello water" bug! I've been trying to do this for years and it took hundreds of hours. This means I will not need to have only calm weather for the entire mod...for the first time I was able to go severa in game days and have normal looking storm waves!
This is also useful for other modders ... the "jello water" issue has been a problem ever since SH4 was first released. The problem was that, in SH4, the game changes sea states too slowly - if you use time compression, eventually the wave patterns look weird, with jagged waves or big, fake "jello" waves. After increasing sea state change speed I finally get weather like it should be - realistic storms, off and on, and properly-shaped waves. I can't tell you guys what a big releif this is.
Other work this past week: preparing AI light cruiser models, and adding radio messages/news events. I thought it would take forever to add war news messages but it's coming along well! Now I have all of 1914-1915 done, and I'm in August 1916! You will get radio news of the war nearly every day (20-25 days per month). The Archduke Assassination, Battle of the Marne, Tannenberg, Verdun, The Somme, Passchendaele - it's all there, including some pretty exciting stories!
Also working on a video that showcases new ship damage/particle/crew figure/lifeboat effects, so stay tuned.
