Weather

What is Weather?

Weather is a .Sc2mod file containing a library which gives the user the capability to create weather systems in their maps.

This mod will be featured in Warcraft: A new Dawn. It was created for this mod in particular but was released as a stand-alone for the community.

Ie.: Say you have an RPG which is situated in a forest. Wouldn't it be nice if it rained once in a while?

"Weather" has been uploaded to B.net (NA). Add through B.net to stay up-to-date constantly.

Current Capabilities

Weather comes equipped with four different "Weather Types". Forest (Rainy), Desert (Windy dust), Snow, Heat Wave(Sun/winds). Each can be set at different intensities (Light, Medium, Heavy).

  • Beta 3 Addition:
  1. Multiple Storms (12 Storms Maximum. Storm ID from 0 to 11)
  2. The ability to stop a specific storm.
  3. Storms are no longuer bound to the whole map. The user has the ability to choose a specific region.
  4. Added SFX

User Manual

"Weather" currently uses "+Weather" action definition to start a chain reaction that creates a storm for an approximate X number of time and a Clear Skies for an approximate X number of time. Note that the storm & clear skies period will last longer than the bounds you set it too. The purpose was to give each storm a receding feeling. Also it reduces the stress on the engine.

+Weather( "Weather Type", "Weather Intensity","Storm ID", "Storm min duration", "Storm max duration", "Clear skies min duration", "Clear skies max duration")

  • "Weather Type" : Click on the parameter on the action and select the "Preset" button.
  • "Weather Intensity" : Same as "Weather Type"
  • "Storm ID" : Each storm must have a differant storm id. Otherwise your storms will stack in the record and probably create errors.
  • "Storm min&max duration" : I recommend not setting the max duration for more than 120 seconds. Also do not set the min duration higher than the max.
  • "Clear skies min&max duration" : Same as "Storm" settings.

I recommend a minimum of 5 seconds between each storm creation.

+Weather Stop( "Storm Id")

  • This value is used to recall which storm is where within the record.

If you Run this mod at it's maximum capacity. You are creating (75 Doodads actors + 15 Sound actors) x 12 storms = 1080 total actors on the map ) Use wisely.

What's left to do on this? Is it at it's final version?

No. I want to give the user the capability to choose between random intensity storms and constant intensity.

Please give Credit if you use this mod.
