Better Raindrops

In 1 collection by Avel
Better Raindrops - ATS
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
If you want to increase number of raindrops on windshield (3x) install Truck Addon.
ONLY FOR ATS SCS TRUCKS! INCOMPATIBLE with modded trucks and interiors.
DOWNLOAD TRUCK ADDON:
https://sharemods.com/q8b6vtd95wdx/better_raindrops_v2.1.1_ta_ats.scs.html

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.

#Avel really thanks, it works like a charm on both games!

@Killer81, you need to open
material\environment\rain.mat file with any text editor and change
diffuse : { 0.3 , 0.3 , 0.3 }
to
diffuse : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

it will make exterior rain particles invisible.

A question about this, there is a way to get rid of the exterior rain streak? not that you should do this in your mod, maybe a different version with it, but I wanted to make this change and have no idea on how to do this, was searching through def and material files

@EricH1983, I'm waiting for Workshop Uploader to update, can't upload my mods right now because of it.
Meantime it is possible to get latest mod version from official SCS forum, if you want.
