Recent update completely obliterated the performance impact this had on Gmod for me. It's nice to be able to run maps at a silky 60fps with this active at the same time.

That's awesome news! I wonder which change had the impact, I tried to get in some performance improvements in each update when possible.

It would be pretty cool if we can control the time of day, so we can have it be night time, without actually having to wait for it in real time, because we all know how tiresome it can be when we have to stay awake and in GMod to get it to be night :torielsad:

The most recent update seems to have broke it. In init.lua in at least atmos_rain and atmos_rainsplash, the files start off with:

trace ); AtmosHeightMin = ( tr.HitPos - trace.start ):Length(); -- thanks to SW for this improvement if ( tr.StartSolid ) then return false end if ( tr.HitSky ) then return true end end return false; end

and

166 ); p:SetColor( 150, 150, 200 ); p:SetCollide( true ); p:SetCollideCallback( function( p, pos, norm ) p:SetDieTime( 0 ); end ); end end end

It looks like some code got erased. init.lua in atmos_snow is also cut off at the bottom:

for i = 1, snowCount:GetInt() do local r = math.random( 0, snowRadius:GetInt() ); local s = math.random( -180, 180 ); local pos = data:GetOrigin() + Vector( math.cos( s ) * r, math.sin( s ) * r, math.min( snowHeightMax:GetInt(), snowHeightMin ) ); if ( atmos_Outside( pos ) ) then local p = self.em2D:Add( SnowMat, pos ); p:SetVelocity( Vector( 2
