I tested this in B42 format. I didnt get any errors and the weather manager worked with everything I fed it. It shouldnt need much work to update @TheSlapDoctor

b42 when???
Come and See 18 Jan @ 2:02pm 
Nice mod. Just what I was looking for. :)
leonx132 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:46pm 
thank you i appreciate it
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 20 Dec, 2024 @ 5:32pm 
@leonx132 If the minimum level is set to 0.8 then the weather will always be at least 80% intensity for snow/rain, meaning it will be snowing 100% of the time. If you want it to snow 80% of the time, set the minimum to zero and set the chance of snow/rain to 80.
leonx132 20 Dec, 2024 @ 4:47pm 
what dose the min and max snow/rain level do?

if i set it to min 80% will it be snowing/raining 80% of the time or?

Apparently, it does
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 6:53am 
@Unruly Boy No idea brother, let us know if you find out.

Is this compatible with Noxious Vapours?

Tempreture doesn't work////
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 20 Sep, 2024 @ 10:44am 
@Neo Thanks! I'll hopefully get around to fixing that when I find the time.
Neo 🐦‍🔥 19 Sep, 2024 @ 9:58pm 
awesome mod! :cherrypie: to be more cooler must fix forecast ^^
Favorited hope to fix forecast.
Mattatatta 24 Aug, 2024 @ 2:35pm 
The AEBS doesn't seem to predict the correct weather from my anecdotal experience. I recently had a warning for a thunderstorm on the radio that would go through at least two whole days, but on the day it was meant to start, I only saw a light shower for a few hours. and a misty but dry day after that.

Note that I had long turned off Storm Manager before noticing this with the radio, because the storms with that manager enabled were far too frequent and alternated between "Tropical" and "Blizzard" regardless of the current season.
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 24 Aug, 2024 @ 5:10am 
@Синхол1 I think the forecast would be incorrect, but I haven't checked the broadcast in my testing. I'll look into correcting this in a later version if that's the case.
Sinkhole 23 Aug, 2024 @ 4:33pm 
Hi @TheSlapDoctor, does this mod affect the AEBS? I mean is it possible to get accurate weather forecast through AEBS with this mod and managers enabled?

@TheSlapDoctor
We had it running on our server for 6+ months in game and saw no rain.
In desperation I enabled rain in your mod so that we could have rain again.

We had another instance (in a different world) of snow falling during temperatures above 10'C, but I can't remember the settings we had on at the time that led to that.
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 3:22pm 
@Telos It's possible I haven't tested the mod for long enough so if you continue seeing no vanilla weather while the rain/fog/wind managers are disabled please do let me know!
Telos 11 Aug, 2024 @ 2:25pm 
@TheSlapDoctor
Yeah, to be fair I haven't isolated your mod and so it could well be caused by something else that conflicts when run alongside your mod.
If it works fine for you then it's probably just a me problem. :)
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 9:02am 
@Telos Thanks for the feedback! Are you certain that this is a bug in the mod? I believe there's a grace period at the start of a new game which disables vanilla weather for a period of time. In my testing the vanilla weather system is re-enabled when the modded version is not in use.
Telos 10 Aug, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
@TheSlapDoctor
Thanks for the great mod! It's got a lot of really cool options!

With that said there appears to be a bug where the vanilla rain, wind and storm settings are not used when the checkbox (for enabling your mod settings for those specific functions) is unticked.
We get no rain, wind or storms.
Have tried toggling on, restarting server and toggling off again. (multiplayer)
Unsure on how to fix and may have to go back to vanilla system just so we can have weather again.

Keep up the great work either way! :)
Mattatatta 7 Aug, 2024 @ 11:39am 
I see, that explains it. I've toggled Storm Manager off and the temps have stabilized.

The polarizing weather would be great in a "Day After Tomorrow" themed scenario, but that's not what I'm aiming for.

Storms are also very frequent with that manager enabled, 24 hours max interval time between events is not enough to make these impressive storms into rare events. They're really cool though, you almost don't want them to be rare.
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 5 Aug, 2024 @ 1:18pm 
@Mattatatta If you're using the storm manager it's not currently possible to require a certain temperature for blizzards within the mod settings, but it's possible to implement that in a later version.

The current storm manager setup actually interacts strangely with temperatures, where triggering a storm seems to overwrite the temperature to the appropriate values for that storm (at least, it seemed to do that in my last tests). So it's something I'm looking into, but is likely to be a fairly substantial amount of work to update.
Mattatatta 5 Aug, 2024 @ 5:54am 
I'm using the weather moodles mod to better view this mod in action, and I've noticed that "Blizzards" can happen in the middle of Summer alongside Tropical Storms and regular Storms. Obviously the temperature is too high for snowfall, so it comes down as rain, but is there a way to configure the mod so that these "Blizzards" can only happen in low temperature ranges or in the Winter season, so I'm not having Tropical Storms and Blizzards in the same season?
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 4 Aug, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
@McSlappy Right back at ya. I've actually never tested it, that's a good question. I suspect the radio will be incorrect about the weather since it'll read the vanilla 'weather front' system rather than just taking the currently effective values after the mod overrides them.
McSlappy 4 Aug, 2024 @ 10:10am 
Hey @TheSlapDoctor great name!. I just had a question about the mod, Would this mod effect the weather station in any way? or would it still announce the correct incoming weather changes?
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 1 Aug, 2024 @ 5:31pm 
@SoNya I don't think there's a sandstorm in vanilla zomboid
SoNya 17 Jul, 2024 @ 3:50am 
is it available for the sandstorm? which option do i have to adjust? in storm category?
fatesdeath 8 Jul, 2024 @ 1:55pm 
okay thank you for responding and thank you for the mod =):pawsup::BUDlove:
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 8 Jul, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
@fatesdeath i don't think the temperature values i put in by default are exactly vanilla, but they're approximately correct. the temperature section won't affect snow/rain at all, if the rain manager is disabled all rain/snow will be determined by the vanilla weather system.
fatesdeath 8 Jul, 2024 @ 8:36am 
@slap thanks for responding i think i kinda got it working. it might just be me sorry
i have to adjust outside of live multiplay
it might be where its loading in mod order

my sandbox options open and i can see the setting but nothing actually changes while im ingame
its probably one of the other mods i got thats causing some conflicting issue with mod options

while i got you here are the mods "default" settings the vanilla settings?
cause
i only checked off "temperature" made winter -40 __ -0 max
added the mod kinda near the end of winter trying to make it colder but not cryo cold
it was stopping snow by then anyways so i couldnt tell if it stopped snow ethier

im not sure if im crazy but i made it to may15th and there was ZERO rain
but that might be cause i didnt check off the other settings

all i need to know is if i check ALL settings are they vanilla?
all i want is to make it -40 to -0 in winter but the rest i want vanilla
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 6 Jul, 2024 @ 7:46pm 
@fatesdeath i'll take a look and see what i can do once i have some free time, but i don't think Snow is Water should be affecting your winter temperatures, are you using the right version of that mod?
fatesdeath 30 Jun, 2024 @ 9:44pm 
this needs local hosting please:winterbunny2023:
theres is ZERO mods that are like this, that work on steam hosted games
all i want is the ability to turn down the cold in winter so that the "snow is water" mod wont keep increasing the temperature...
this mod seems like it would work for what i need it to do...
just cant make it work on my steam hosted game =(
DaQtaZ 29 Mar, 2024 @ 8:07am 
@TheSlapDoctor I think it's a great idea, once such a mod is created, I will collect some wood for the fireplace and be ready early. :steamhappy:
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 29 Mar, 2024 @ 7:39am 
@DaQtaZ Storms seem to override the custom temperature settings, so it doesn't work in the current version. I'm looking into making a custom storm system when I can, and I'll try and implement something like what you're looking for when I do.
DaQtaZ 29 Mar, 2024 @ 7:29am 
Is it possible to set the temperature to decrease by 2x during a snowstorm, like in Frostpunk?
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 16 Mar, 2024 @ 1:32pm 
@NOT FOUND I don't think that's possible with the tools available to modders, without changing the Java files themselves. I'll take a look and see what can be done anyway.
NOT FOUND 16 Mar, 2024 @ 1:01pm 
@TheSlapDoctor Hey. Can you make it so that you can change the weather in a selected place? For example, in a raid location there is always fog or a snowstorm, but on the rest of the map it is a sunny day. Thank you in advance.
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 16 Mar, 2024 @ 11:17am 
@HybridJoe All temperatures are in Celsius, I considered features for both but unfortunately it makes using sandbox settings pretty difficult. If there's a demand for it I can revisit it in a later update.
HybridJoe 16 Mar, 2024 @ 10:02am 
Hey @TheSlapDoctor, a question, the temperature i can put in the sandbox settings is in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Tempritscher 29 Feb, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
that would be nice
TheSlapDoctor  [author] 29 Feb, 2024 @ 12:52pm 
@Tempritscher If the minimum rain for a season is higher than 0, it'll always rain while the rain manager is on. I'd like to offer more customisation, but I don't want to make the sandbox options too complicated. I'll give it a bit of research and see what I can do, thanks!
Tempritscher 29 Feb, 2024 @ 10:06am 
would be nice if there is an option to set the temperature and chance of rain of an specific month.
