Better Raindrops

Better Raindrops - ETS2
2 items
Description
Hello! I'd like to share with you a mod aimed to improve raindrops appearance on windshield (and rain in general) and make game more realistic and immersive.

Key features:
  • Add new texture and significantly increase number of raindrops.
  • Improved physical behaviour of particles, now their spawn will be more affected by truck position relatively to rain inclination.
    It makes a huge difference and vastly improve perception of weather! Just try it yourself!
  • Reworked sound effects for wipers and rain
  • New car splash trails

Tweak these sliders to achieve comfortable sound level:
  • Rain inside, Wipers - Interior sounds volume
  • Rain outside - World sounds volume

IMPORTANT
- In version 1.1 was added TRUCK ADDON. It is a sub-mod that triples number of raindrops but ONLY FOR ETS2 SCS TRUCKS! INCOMPATIBLE with modded trucks and interiors.
DOWNLOAD TRUCK ADDON:

Mod is compatible with any other weather/sound mods, just give Better Raindrops a priority and place on top of others.

Known issues:
If you experiencing performance issues try to reduce traffic by entering console command g_traffic 0.5. Change the number to find optimal balance between amount of AI cars and your FPS in the rain.

1.50 don't work well !!!

UPDATE: It seems that this mod may be at fault or the mod and 1.50 cannot agree on how to reflect the sun in a puddle. I can't tell which.

I have been playing with it for a bit and these odd flashes occur only when it is raining (explains the no sun glints from my other comment.)

List:

flashes occur when the light hits the puddles
red flashes occur though super rare.
Flashes occur in the side mirrors mainly but did see it once in front of me.
Daytime only, mostly around dusk and dawn.

Hope this helps to figure out what the deal is

Hey users, can you double check something? This mod may be the reason I see overblown yellow flashes instead of the usual sun glints on "polished" reflective surfaces for the 1.50 update.

What I am seeing

Mod on, I see the bad flashes.

Mod off, I don't even see sun glints at all.

I am trying to see if the problem is the mod, or the base game as I can't seem to truly verify it either way..

can we get an external updae for 1.50?

@Florian2601, probably not. It's very time consuming to add new trucks, plus many of them are locked by authors, so it's impossible to edit their models. And with unlocked mods you need to keep up with an updates, otherwise there'll be missing textures or crashes.

hello @Avel , thanks for this mod, it looks wonderful. But do you have plans in the future to make a truck addon for modded trucks?

@别看今日闹得欢, there is a Truck Addon sub-mod, it changes SCS trucks models and 3x times increase number of raindrops on windshield. But it's ONLY for default SCS trucks.

I really like this mod, it would be even better if there were more raindrops on the windshield
