ZDoom

Simple system which create snow/rain in any sector with sky "ceiling" without creating too much load on cpu.
Mainly oriented on mappers who wants add immersion to their maps.

For now it have
Snow

Rain

Ashes looks goofy, I know

By default it turned off, so you need open pack and edit it a little to add specific weather to specific map.
As a little side effect of "simpleness" it can work weird with too small/too weirdly shaped "sky" sectors, like spawning snow under the actual ceiling of neighbor of "sky" sector sectors.

Minimal required gzdoom version 3.5

How to download things from Github
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=70332

To use it go to the github page, press green button, select download as zip, save it and then open it as usual pack in slade/whatever you use for scripting.
Follow instruction in the readme.md file to turn it on.

If you want see some new effect or want something to say, write it here.

Looks good and very useful.

For inspiration, have you looked at WeatherFX?

It uses more or less same approach as weatherFX. Only difference is it cache all weather actors to reuse them in future, since zscript support dynamical arrays.

Probably I should add some presets like snowy day, snowstorm, tropical rain, etc.
Originally I create it to replace snow and rain in eviternity, because weather from there sometimes drop fps on my machine so hard so it transform game genre from first person shooter to turn base strategy.

Suggestion: ashes slowly falling from the sky. May suit hell maps.

Ok, but it looks a little bit goofy.


Also, I dont find good ashes sprite (which is not a gray square) at first google page so I used photo of staphylococcus from electron microscope instead.

This isn't even working for me, despite packing the .pk3 fine (and fixing some apparent issues with CSE_Rain being called instead of CWE_Rain) and the .pk3 loading (cvars appear and work)

Try re download package again. I fix this errors, add more clear instruction and new effect for rain weather.

Is there actually a guide to get this working? Because despite the update, changing the CVARs still isn't doing anything for me .

In case, I'm using the latest GZDoom Stable build, and it doesn't work for me regardless of the Graphics API.

Oh, I create readme but dont add it to git for tracking, sorry. Fix it now.
Download readme.md from repository/redownload pack again.

I add rain sound. Its clunky but better than nothing. Still trying to figure out a way to add sound without hacks I used for current version.

I added new way to attaching weather to map.
Now all that required is edit a little WEATHDEF file (instruction included in it, its simple, I hope), and boom, snow/rain now attached to the specific map.

I'm trying to download this and I honestly just cannot pull it off. How do I download this file?? Theres no green button for download there. I can "view code" but cannot download the zip.

Okay I managed to download it but I just cannot get this to work. I've been trying for over an hour. I get hundreds of errors and I just don't know why. I can never get this stuff to work, every time I try I always get error after error after error and I end up having to go without.

PLEASE can someone help me with what's wrong. I really really need this to work.

I would presume that the "MarkSound" function is newer than whatever version of GZDoom you're using.

[edit] Then again this is marked for version 3.5, so, I'm probably wrong.
