hi bro,how to increase the number of raindrops?,i just tried this mod and the raindrop is a bit invisible
Killer81 21 Feb @ 7:57pm 
#Avel really thanks, it works like a charm on both games!
Avel  [author] 21 Feb @ 2:56pm 
@Killer81, you need to open
material\environment\rain.mat file with any text editor and change
diffuse : { 0.3 , 0.3 , 0.3 }
to
diffuse : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

it will make exterior rain particles invisible.

A question about this, there is a way to get rid of the exterior rain streak? not that you should do this in your mod, maybe a different version with it, but I wanted to make this change and have no idea on how to do this, was searching through def and material files

@EricH1983, I'm waiting for Workshop Uploader to update, can't upload my mods right now because of it.
Meantime it is possible to get latest mod version from official SCS forum, if you want.

Needs update to latest patch

@luudaigiang. Go make your own mod then smartass....
willemwk 8 Nov, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Is it correct that this mod is not fmod.
luudaigiang 2 Nov, 2024 @ 9:10pm 
I'm really disappointed with this mod. The raindrops look unrealistic. Their shape, speed, and trajectory all seem off, making them appear less convincing than the vanilla graphics. In third-person view, there's no rain effect at all, and you can't even see any splashes from the car, as if it isn't raining at all. The sound of the rain is underwhelming too; it sounds more like a light drizzle, and you only hear it occasionally, as if it's falling on the roof.

Realistic Rain is a much better mod.

@Michael.one3, thunder and lighting are controlled by base game. Sometimes other graphical and sounds mods might affect them. This mod doesn't :KSmiley:
Michael.one3 24 Sep, 2024 @ 12:36am 
is there thunder and lighting flashes in this mod? or is it already included in the base game?
Avel  [author] 14 Sep, 2024 @ 2:08pm 
@vjgamz88, yes, it should work just fine.
VJ GAMZ 04 14 Sep, 2024 @ 8:19am 
hello, does this work with 1.51?
Avel  [author] 28 Aug, 2024 @ 4:25pm 
@Plainolalex, sorry, I don't know such command. I was never able to find corresponding console commands or files/configs in game archives, only rain textures. Currently we can change number of interior raindrops (with a limit near 20000 particles vs default 5000), but not for exterior rain. Outside rain density is controlled from the exe file itself, in SCS Map edittor, with Climate/Weather settings specifically, but we still can't change it's max limit of particles. Please let me know if you'll find out something about it :KSmiley:
Plainolalex 28 Aug, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
Hey Avel! Quick Question.. What is the uset r or g command to increase the amount of rain coming down from the sky. Similar to what other mods do. I know it has to be a command value I can change or modify. Thanks
HOLY_RHIN0 1 Aug, 2024 @ 7:03pm 
" IMPORTANT
- In version 1.6 was added TRUCK ADDON. It is a sub-mod that triples number of raindrops but ONLY FOR ATS SCS TRUCKS! INCOMPATIBLE with modded trucks and interiors. "

so this does not work for modded trucks. Thanks for saving my time. Thumbs up to your mod anyways.
Gaia Narengawa 15 Jun, 2024 @ 11:47pm 
Can you add Polyfir's 116 Cascadia to this? It's crashing with this mod.
WhiteAlphaW0lf 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:46pm 
thx, also for the fast reply. I wasnt sure since the mod said to not use other graphic or weather mods with it, but I guess since your mod only adds new textures to the raindrops, as well as increasing there number and other changes, its not exactly a weather mod I guess
Avel  [author] 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:21pm 
@WhiteAlphaW0lf, yes it is! You can use it with any other weather/graphical mods, just place Better Raindrops above them in Mod Manager :KSmiley:
WhiteAlphaW0lf 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
Hey I wanted to ask, do you know if this mod is compatible with Realistic Brutal Graphics And Weather?
Benittoswagolini 10 Jun, 2024 @ 6:16am 
What mod did you use to have the camera sway in first person?
Maxeza 2 Jun, 2024 @ 1:03am 
nice
Avel  [author] 1 Jun, 2024 @ 11:50pm 
Mod is updated, including improved wiper sounds ^^
Drev_n 21 May, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
Seems to work fine in 1.50, but the wiper sound is a bit delayed. It sounds like it hits the side of the window when it's already on the way back to the bottom.
DIGITALGATE 18 May, 2024 @ 10:47am 
yes mod is ok
Ser Pounce 18 May, 2024 @ 7:42am 
It is working just fine.
Plainolalex 17 May, 2024 @ 7:55am 
i can't get this mod to work in 1.5

@SkyTheKitten, interior wind noise is a separate audio event and my Better Raindrops doesn't have it. Perhaps you have some other mods like Sound Fixes Pack or Zeemods Wind, Tire & Trailer that have their own noise sounds?
DIGITALGATE 8 Apr, 2024 @ 11:35am 
ok Avel thx, regards
Avel  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 4:19am 
@DIGITALGATE, it should, yes.
DIGITALGATE 8 Apr, 2024 @ 3:43am 
works with viper,s truck ?
Avel  [author] 24 Jan, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
Thank you, @Scott{Mr_Scary}!
MadDog69 18 Jan, 2024 @ 6:03pm 
By far the best i seen yet and heard ty!
kretschmer 12 Jan, 2024 @ 12:23am 
see it, thx ;-)
Avel  [author] 11 Jan, 2024 @ 9:22am 
kretschmer 11 Jan, 2024 @ 9:14am 
SORRRY, i see the link in forum...LOL. i will tested in next dasy ...THX
kretschmer 11 Jan, 2024 @ 9:11am 
okay, but I have no link...there is a version for raindrops 1.9.1...Lol Give me the link for snowflakes, lol ;-)
Avel  [author] 11 Jan, 2024 @ 8:20am 
@kretschmer, it looks like you have an old Snowlfakes addon. In the new version 1.9.1 I reduced snowflakes size and fixed particle spawn misalignment for side windows on some trucks. So please download or subscribe to a new version :KSmiley:
kretschmer 11 Jan, 2024 @ 2:22am 
So in the game I open the window briefly - I drive with a cabin view. I don't know if you can change anything about it. But I think the "big snowflakes" are implemented great - heavy snow with fog (still using realistic brutal graphics and weather V6.3 ATS 1.49 from Kass - lower priority than Frosty and your mod) make it a challenge day and night. Great mod - I test rain in summer,-)
kretschmer 11 Jan, 2024 @ 2:21am 
aha...well, that's okay...so the frosty brings snowflakes with it - light snowfall - fits well. But in your version it gets really thick. I think your thick snowflakes are ideal for Grime's "small flakes". The snow also moves very easily on the windshield wiper or when the side window is lowered. The alignment on the windshield doesn't fit perfectly, BUT I don't drive a stock truck at the moment... so there can be adjustment problems - that doesn't bother me. The only criticism, if I may say so, would be... The side windows snowed in really quickly. Realistically okay, I've driven in real life in such a way that the mirrors and windows are covered in snow in no time.
Avel  [author] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 12:21pm 
@kretschmer, glad you like it! I'm not yet satisfied with Snoflakes addon and want to make some improvements before uploading to Steam Workshop :KSmiley:
kretschmer 10 Jan, 2024 @ 2:33am 
Hello, Your work is great, but the snowflake Mod of U (addon) ist the best! Why not in Steamwoerkshop? Works with Crimes FrostyMod top! Thx
DIGITALGATE 4 Jan, 2024 @ 3:25am 
I think the cause is the direction from which the wind is blowing ,if you look when one window has water, the other one has less
Kirara 3 Jan, 2024 @ 11:26pm 
wonderful mod!
just saying tho, i think there are way too many raindrops on the left&right side windows, and they behave more like iced rather then moving rain drops.
MrMallenby 2 Jan, 2024 @ 10:10am 
Ohh awesome to hear, Wasnt sure from the description so thanks for clearing that up because this is an epic mod
Avel  [author] 2 Jan, 2024 @ 3:52am 
@MrMallenby, yes, mod is compatible with any vehicles. Only Truck Addon is for vanilla trucks.
