Simple Weather

Description
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 laundry list of changes & improvements 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 chance dynamic 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.
  • Map blacklist (with some pre-included entries).
  • 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.

  • Thunderstorm (rain & lightning)

Just to confirm, try enabling the always indoors option. If it makes the bug 100% consistent then let me know, as that'll narrow it down for me.

unsure what happened, but everytime i exit a building or go under things my screen goes dark, then comes back and does it again, sometimes its like a blink, other times its like a slow blink

Make sure "Always indoors" isn't enabled. If it persists, change the rain from Lua to particle mode. If it still has issues, send me screenshots of your issues.

Is the rain occuring indoors normal?

Not a new bug. Happens for some reason on the first map load, but goes away after each subsequent map. I have no idea what causes it as it presents no errors. Best guess I have is it's an error in the render system that gets fixed once the map is changed.

Thunderstorm and heavy storm have more dense rain/fog.
