Update Log

*Update 7/25/11*
I know the previous update said this mod is no longer in production but, i got tired of joining server with RP_Weather v3 and bricks not relighting, no weather sounds, and horrible fails of RP_Weather v3. So here you go, v4. Happy now?
--------------------------------------------------------
*Update 11/10/10*
This mod is no longer in production. I'm done working with RP_Core so I created my own CityRPG mod. It is available for public use at JJstorm.com

MYST
coolio.
Cax
In Slate Desert when ending the RP the sky changes to another sky?
JJstorm
Yea that's because I had it delete the sky that was there. So, ending the RP just clears the weather and set it to daytime. to get the original sky back just reload the map
teddy5868
This is just awsome, this is gonna help alot! tnx JJ
darkness
This is epic. Ive been dieing for a add-on like this.
JJstorm

Kyle95
Freaking Epic
JJstorm
@ Leopard: Yes, it switches from morning, day, sunset, night. In that order. In the morning at 6:00 am it gets todays forecast, and depending on the chances of rain, snow that u provide in your RTB prefs. The chance of clear weather is calculated as such: %clearchance = (100 - (%snowchance + %rainchance));

Chaokid

littlepile

littlepile

JJstorm

Count Bleck
Is the whether changer admin only?
Leopard
You guys say there are missing datablocks... ooookkayyyy... It won't hurt anything or will it?
JJstorm
@ count bleck: yes it is admin only

@ leopard: no it won't hurt anything, but there won't be any rain, but I have fixed it and I'm waitin for it to be approved. After it's approved ppl will see the rain and rain splashes
Newt24
This may be a stupid question but how exactly does it make it night? Does it just say it is Night time or does it somehow make the map dark?
JJstorm
When making this mod I thought of a couple of ways to make the map dark. I tried messing with the sun of the map and then I tried making the fog dark and decreasing the fog and view distance, and out of the two the fog worked better. So after doing that I used a default sky. That way people that joined a server with rp_weather wouldn't have to download extra sky pics. After doing that I check around on my test server and see where there is light around the player it seems that the moon lights up around the
Triumphancy
well JJ great job now ima get on editing the sky box :P
lego-fox
will it be called rp_naturaldesters
lego-fox
when will you relese v3?
JJstorm
@Lego-Fox:
1. It'll be called RP_Catastrophes
2. V3 will be released ASAP, getting the bugs out now. It'll be out before august 5th. August 5th is my goal to have v3 out. So, be patient.

Feel free to drop by my test server sometime to see how it's going
lego-fox
i was just curius.
Mutilple
Nice!
swimmer
it dosent WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GTF-11 Drio
@swimmer

Waddaya mean it doesn't work?
Leopard
If your going to say it doesn't work describe what you did so we can be sure your an idiot.
JJstorm
Maybe he didn't read the required mods or the the command to manually change it. Please read those 2 things before saying it doesn't work. -_-
skylar15
Can you use this in free build?
hunterbob33
Awesome... Thats all i have to say...
JJstorm
@ Skylar15: Yes, you can BUT, u need to have RP_Core and RP_Time to use this addon. if you just want to use the weather don't type: /startrp Just put RP_Core and RP_Time in you addons folder and use the weather command to change the weather. Unless you want to make it night or day, then you would type: generateday(night); or generateday(day); in your console.
Storm Cloud
I highly like the fact that you granted my wish I have posted on the Blockland Suggestions and Requests. I made the suggestion VERY long ago. And I am extremely greatful. I have wanted this for an extremely long time.
JJstorm
Well I'm no genie but, Your welcome. I've seen people wanting this mod for a while and I also wanted it so I made it.
skylar15
I tried useing it without the RP time or core enbaled and it crashed
JJstorm
@ Skylar15: you need RP core and RP time. And you wonder why it crashed...
swimmer
i got it to work but when i type /weather rain light or anything like that all it dose is cloud up it dosent do anything
Chris_Ridiculous
I don't get this. It looks cool, but, I was wondering, dose the skybox change as the time goes on? The pictures are on competly different maps each. I can tell if it like one of those TV Comercial Jinxes. I am not blaming, just saying. Personaly, I was gonna wait till this is answered before DL'ing.
JJstorm
@ Chris_Ridiculous: Yes, the sky is changed along with the time. Also the first 3 pics are taken on Trashman World 4 and the last one is taken on slate desert.

@ swimmer: well to use the weather command you must type it like described above. /weather (type) (intensity)
Just replace (type) with rain or snow and replace intensity with a number from 0 to 50 and if you want clear weather type: /weather clear But all weather clear does is remove the precipitation.

I will probably add in v3 when you type /weath
lego-fox
i dont know how to change time of day
JJstorm
@ lego-fox: If u have RP_Time: /forcetick
thecableguy
Sorry, but the fact that this relies on a mod that is so incredibly useless to work makes me say no. Just no.

Make it work independently from RP core please, Then i will download.
JJstorm
Already in progress. Gonna make it use commands to change the weather and day
Sgt_Gary
Please make lightning storms (but they don't shock the floor ; unless you make it so the player tumbles if shocked and the brick breaks if shocked) and I forgot other stuff...
JJstorm
@ Sgt_Gary: I looked into making lightning storms and I think its impossible on BL there was some maps i downloaded that said they had thunder storms but no lightning strikes or anything. The best i could do is make lightning sounds when its raining and randomly pick a player at random times and make them tumble. I was planning on releasing v3 with these features. Thanks for your suggestion though
Jamesking56
Great mod but I found a bug...

When i build something and it snows, the snow goes right through the building...

Isn't there a way you can make it bounce off a building?
JJstorm
@ Jamesking56: i wish i could but the bricks aren't solid to particles. So i cant stop it from going through unless Badspot fixed that.
JJstorm
Updated RP_Weather it now has a ifRPWeather event. It will let you check the if the weather is or is not clear, rain, and snow. That way your city can now be interactive with the weather. Example:

onactivate -> self -> firerelay
onRelay -> self -> firerelay
onRelay -> self -> ifRPWeather [Equals] [Snow]
onRPTrue -> namedbrick [Ground] -> setcolor [white]
onRPFalse -> namedbrick[Ground] -> setcolor [green]

That will make the ground around your city white if it is snowing. Very
King
How do you change the weather Manually?
JJstorm
Plz read the post before posting a comment

Commands:
/weather (type of weather) (intensity of the weather)
swimmer
when i try to change the weather is says swimmer has changed the weather to rain with itinstay of light but it dosent rain
efuck
whats so new about this??
BL00XER
Loved it when I tried it. i can't wait to test the catastrophes, but the link is broken. Please fix this, JJstorm.

P.S. is SpaceHell supposed to be one thing or two with a missing space?
JJstorm
@ swimmer: What? I think i know what your saying did you put an intensity number? (1-50)

@ efuck: http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewChangeLog.php?id=2242

@ BL00XER:
1). Link isn't broken, just don't view this page through RTBs addons manager in Blockland
2). Spacehell is supposed to be 2 words. It's 1 word because i didn't want to add a special code to do the weather type "space hell".
lego-fox
am i ableto have a tornato at my server with this?
cole2
Great addon, but it over flows the RTB Prefs really easily.
hat
Its great and im DLing and 5/5
JJstorm
@lego-fox: No if I do add a tornado it'll be in RP_Catastrophes. But wont be added for a while.
YorkTown95
@lego-fox

Its only on RP Catastrophes if your looking for Tornados. buts its not on beta.
BL00XER
Ah... well, shoot. I'm betting space hell is supposed to be where all bricks get sucked into a black hole... >:3
BL00XER
when on Slate Desert 3, the Rain blows sideways. The nuclear fallout with catastrophe_nuke does this, too...
JJstorm
@BL00XER:
1). No Spacehell will just be a simple test. basically to make put the servers city into space and rain fire
2). Yea they use the same code to add precipitation
Elkayjoel1
hey CATAGORY 5S ARE NOT A MITH ANDREW HAS HIT IT WAS A CATAGORY 5 SO

The wind scales-166<
JJstorm
@Elkayjoel1: Please take of caps lock. and by "Myth" i meant a real life category 5
Theninjawholived
you should make a GUI but cool
cole2
Crashes the game.
ARMORD RAPTER
@cole2, I think ill flame you in this comment. I mean, everyone selse seems to be getting along fine with it, So obviously your computer's been fucked up by a shitty mod like Addenery Output event
ARMORD RAPTER
i have no idea how the moderaters even let it pass... It DOESNT WORK
JJstorm
@ARMORD RAPTER: By doesnt work you mean?

BTW, Look at the required mods before posting comments like this
Deluxe
Fix the sounds, jeez, the storms sound like the Commodore 64 on the toilet....

other than that-Good Job!
Mista Epic
Fix it where if it hits a brick it bounces off like how it wont go through the roof in bedroom.
JJstorm
@Deluxe: I haven't added the rain sounds yet. So what are you talking about

@Mista Epic: The precipitation will go through bricks no matter what. I cant fix this the bricks aren't treated as part of the map so they will not hit/bounce off bricks.
Mista Epic
Awwww...
Phoenix
would be cool if it was just a precipitation mod

and had nothing to do with RP core.

just /startrain or /startsnow or /stopprecipitation
JJstorm
@Phonenix: I'll be releasing Server_Weather asap. It'll be all commands though nothing else

Although I might add a time mod for it too. To handle the night and daytime
Didzy
I have an important question, will rp core and rp time interfere with Iban's mod and possibly fuck it up?
kirby lover
Pretty Neat. So Does The Weather Come Randomly?
JJstorm
@ Didzy: No i shouldn't. If I were you i wouldn't use both on the same server though.

@ kirby lover: Yea, depending on the chance of snow and rain you specify in your RP Core Section of your RTB Prefs. Clear weather is calculated as such: clearchance = 100 - (snow chance + rain chance)
Posh
Dont use this is Plate2...... 'nuff said.
TheJedden12
@Posh Why not?
JJstorm
Im have quit working on RP_Weather due to RP_Core is a failure and i have free time i have started working on my own CityRP mod. It is used on my server so goto my server to see.

Tip: Dont ask to have a download link to it. You wont get it.
Elkayjoel1
Off topic: where do you find music add-ons

Mew

Matthew
Offtopic: Someone should make a tornado vehicle to scare noobs away with tornadoes. :3
Username5000
This is not working. I have it enabled. I have the requirements. Yet...nothing happens. Even in a mini-game.
JJstorm
If your hosting a RP with RP_Core then you shouldn't be able to start a minigame. Also to test if it works type /weather snow 20
Sgt_Gary
Also try using /startrp before doing anything.
JJstorm
@ Sgt_Gary: Correct
