Simple Weather
Simple Weather is an add-on for GMod that was formerly a paid mod and later released for free when it was discontinued by the original author, disseminate. This upload includes the base add-on & Disaster DLC packs, with a huge list of changes, improvements, and additions made by yours truly.
My goals for Simple Weather try their best to meet these specific criteria:
- Full User Control – As little hard-coded bits as possible, and allow the user as much control over the mod as reasonable.
- Run Light – Have the mod has as little performance impact as possible, and keep disk storage usage reasonably low.
- Feature Rich – Have the mod use a "more with less" mentality, where it prioritizes quality over quantity.
Features
- Day-Night Cycle, with optional real-time clock.
- Random weather, with options to control frequency/duration/toggle.
- Functionality for map input control (toggle street lights, etc.).
- HUD that can show current time (in either 12H or 24H mode) and weather, with options to disable.
- Options panels for quick changing of values and behavior in-game without map restarts.
- Weather can control env_wind based on weather type.
- Snowy weather can change map textures to look snowy.
- Hazardous weathers can be controlled to change amount/frequency of damage, or disabled outright.
- Presets for default, potato computers, and hardcore modes, with the ability to customize your own.
- Emergency Alert System sounds that will play out of standard radio props when inclement weather starts – no special entities needed in your maps or your contraptions!
- A myriad of other features you’ll have to try for yourself, as I suck at descriptions.
