GTWS - Garry’s Tactical Weather System

Description
GTWS - Garry's Tactical Weather System
An addon I made for automated weather events. I thought I'd upload it since I planned on having other people download it anyways for roleplay purposes.

This addon is just some scripts to automate the weather events by gDisasters / gWeather. Any ideas to add to it, feel free to let me know. I don't mind updating this small project.

YOU NEED gDisasters AND gWeather IN ORDER FOR THIS TO NOT CAUSE ERRORS.
I will not fix any errors made by gDisasters and gWeather.
Live with it or patch it yourself, its not on my scope at all for this. Its just to automate weather events.


There are 5 Levels of the GTWS Alert System:
Level 5 - Green (47.62% Chance)
Normal Atmospheric Events
Sunny Weather, Warm Front, Cloudy, Partly Cloudy, Night, Aurora Borealis, Light Wind, Light Rain, Heavy Fog, and Light Snow.


Level 4 - Blue (28.57% Chance)
Elevated Atmospheric Events
Drought, Sleet, Quarter Hail, Heat Wave, Heavy Rain, Moderate Wind, Heavy Snow, Cold Front, Cold Freeze, Tropical Storm, and Haboob.


Level 3 - Yellow (14.29% Chance)
Severe Weather Events
Ash Storm, Golf-ball Hail, Blood Rain, Blizzard, Acid Rain, Extra Heavy Rain, Severe Wind, Baseball Hail, and Category 1 Hurricane.


Level 2 - Red (7.14% Chance)
Catastrophic Weather Events
Hurricane Winds, Category 2 Hurricane, Derecho*, Grapefruit Hail, Supercell*, Category 3 Hurricane, Downburst, Major Hurricane Winds, Radiation Storm, and Arctic Blast.
  • Derecho won't work on maps with small skyboxes, you may get unwanted lua errors. Supercell also has the same issue, on maps with small skyboxes.
Level 1 - Purple (2.38% Chance)
Apocalyptic Weather Events
Firestorms, Unfathomable Winds, Category 4 Hurricane, Pyroclastic Flow, Category 5 Hurricane, and Permian Extinction.





Specific Events


Cold Events
Sleet, Light Snow, Heavy Snow, Cold Freeze, Cold Front, Blizzard, and Arctic Blast.
Hot Events
Drought, Heat Wave, Warm Front, and Fire Storm.
Special Events
Acid Rain, Blood Rain, Radiation Storm, Pyroclastic Flow, and Permian Extinction.





Console Commands
gtws_alerts - The text displayed in the chat box. Bool, 0 or 1. (Default 1 - Enabled)
gtws_coldevents - Toggle cold weather events. Bool, 0 or 1. (Default 1 - Enabled)
gtws_current - Displays the current weather event, and the duration it has been going on for.
gtws_forcechange - Forces the weather to change. Inputting a number 1-5 will change it based on the Level System. You can specifically force an event by copy and pasting a gWeather event in the Q menu. (EX: gtws_forcechange gw_t3_acidrain ) This command is admin only.
gtws_hotevents - Toggle hot weather events. Bool, 0 or 1. (Default 1 - Enabled)
gtws_maxdelay - Maximum delay between weather events. MIN - 150 | MAX - 7200 (Default 300)
gtws_mindelay - Minimum delay between weather events. MIN - 100 | MAX - 3600 (Default 180)
gtws_sounds - The sounds that play on GTWS Alerts. Bool, 0 or 1. (Default 1 - Enabled)

thanks for information
Squidler  [author] 25 Apr @ 5:59pm 
yeah so this mod isn't me making the weather events. all it does is add in those weather entities added in by gWeather or gDisasters and make a cycle for it.

I'll mess with it and see if i can't make a day / night cycle ontop of that weather cycle

Seasons maybe, i'm working on a few other things at the moment but i'll put it on my todo
BoiSkaBoY 25 Apr @ 11:40am 
man i like this mod but will you update this and inprove this? i see some broblems like.
the event might be night but then becames way too quakly day, not really a broblem but a day and night cyler that is more realistc would be better. or like winter comes out of no where and then leaves out of no where? like could there be long season based events for a time and then turn to normal events? but you too you if you don't want to inprove its fine
BoiSkaBoY 25 Apr @ 5:29am 
oh ok thanks. actually this is one of the best weather mods becase of how much there is avavable? how did you say that again will you brobally understand. exited to test it out!
Squidler  [author] 24 Apr @ 6:21pm 
most of those mods are just materials and textures, all the scripted weather events should be in gWeather / gDisasters
BoiSkaBoY 24 Apr @ 12:24pm 
can i download only few of the mods? will it still work if i download one gdisaster mod?
Squidler  [author] 29 Mar @ 2:44pm 
Try using the force change command, if it still isn't working I'll fix it later tonight.
Soldier 29 Mar @ 2:40pm 
it doesn't seem to obey the gtws_mindelay and gtws_maxdelay commands even if you change it
regunkyle 26 Mar @ 5:55pm 
does this work with GDisasters Revived?
