[WOTC] Aquilio's Weather Pack

In 1 collection by Aquilio
[WOTC] The Ambience Collection

Description
This mod adds a variety of custom weather/lighting types to regular missions (City Center, Slums, and many others).
Currently features 27 unique weather variations, chosen at random/depending on day time and mission type.

All maps are cooked.

COMPATIBILITY:
Should be compatible with anything, including DLC Lighting Maps and Tunnel & Abandoned Lighting Maps.
Works with LWOTC as well (I play LWOTC myself).
Can be added or removed during campaign. It's best to do that in Avenger, when you're not running a tactical mission. Otherwise, your current level could become dark.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Night Embers map: When raining, the map may rarely become bright after lightning strikes. Reloading a save should fix the problem [PENDING FIX].

Feel free to report any feedback/issues. This mod is expected to receive more content updates and tweaks over time, so expect further changes.

Check the pinned discussions for extra details about customizing the mod settings!

Extra info: Some night maps in this mod also have the darker variants (with the _Dark suffix) as an option - disabled by default. You can enable them in the XcomMaps.ini file. It's up to you whether you want to use only one variant and disable the other, or mix and match several variants at the same time.

COMPANION MODS:
DLC Lighting Maps
Tunnel & Abandoned Lighting Maps

THIS IS FRUSTRATING, Which mod breaks glitches the cut scene when you first join up MOX mine shows my team literally walking on water and then walking thru shipping containers very immersion breaking...?

cool

Yes, You were correct. Disabling the "quick soldier info" mod did fix the issue and the Avenger Defense Mission launched properly.
Thank you very much. Rgds

@Dragon32 : Thank you for the tip. I would not have thought about that. I was suspecting a map issue. I'll try that this afternoon and I'll report on it.
Thanks and rgds.

If you're using the Quick Soldier Info mod deactivate that before launching the mission, afaik you can save and re-enable it when you're in mission.

I retried the Avenger Defense mission without the light mods and without the night vision as well. The same problem occured when lauching the mission after selecting the Xcom squad.
Your mods are not generating the problem which is good to know. I have reinstalled them of course, and I will have to keep investigating.
Thanks and rgds

Thank you for the answer. I did not find a .dmp file but this seems logical. The game did not crash. I stopped it after waiting 10mn in front of a strange image (an advent base cut half way).
I'm going to try to restart the mission from a backed up file, but without the lighting mod.
I'll keep you informed in case I find something interesting.
I also use various maps mods, so maybe it could come from there, but I believe that the plot involved is not coming from a maps mod. I'll recheck to be sure.
By the way, your lighting mods are really good. They do bring a different flavor to the game. I should have said it earlier....

This is a common issue when using and removing map packs (not the lighting maps) during the campaign. Could be a pure coincidence as well.

This issue is most likely unrelated to lighting mods.

Still, the only way to know more would be to post a crash dump (the .dmp file, NOT the log file) on XCOM2 Modding Discord.

I have a problem with the Avenger Defense Mission. The map does not load and I get stuck with a strange loading screen that does not move.
From investigating into the lauch log, I find that this is the map that tries to load
Plot_WLD_AvDef_MdObj_Ravine
Any possibility that there is some kind of impact of the weather pack on this particular map ?

@Aquilio yeah that dusk light stuff from that mod you linked , its definitely that lighting
