Surviving the storm
A few questions about settings, configuring ponchos from other mods...
First I just wanted to say, I love the mod. I always hated how in Vanilla you can stay outside for 12 hours or more before you even get a little bit wet. Also, I own and play the GOG version of Project Zomboid so it wont let me comment in the workshop page comments but it'll let me start a discussion thread so I hope this isn't a faux pas.

I was wondering, I use this poncho mod...

and it didn't seem like they were working. In a rain storm I'd get soaked within 20 minutes in game time even with the hood up and everything. I noticed you said in the comments to someone... "If the internal name of the item contains "Poncho" in it, it will be compatible." but looking at the mod I use the ponchos all have names like "MPoncho_up" and each one has four different names as you can wear them four different ways. I went into your mod into the STSRain.lua and found a line that read...

if string.find(item:getClothingItemName(), "Poncho") then
wearingPoncho = true;

and tried adding the ponchos to it like this...

if string.find(item:getClothingItemName(), "Poncho","MPonchoBlackUP","MPonchoBrownUP","MPonchoGreenUP","MPonchoShoulder","MPonchoShoulderBLA","MPonchoShoulderBRO") then
wearingPoncho = true;

When I launched the game and tried it, it seemed like they worked longer and I had no errors. Did I do this right or is it just the placebo effect making me think they worked a little longer? Is there any other way I should go about adding compatibility with other poncho mods?

Also second question, is there a value or setting I can tweak in one of the lua files to maybe half the effect of the wetness increase of the mod? I hate how in vanilla you basically never get wet, even standing in a hurricane for hours, but it feels a little bit too fast in this. I live in the PNW (famous for our rain) and work outdoors in it 8 hours a day and with a raincoat or poncho I can make it through the day with out catching a cold or becoming completely soaked. I guess I'm just wondering how I could tweak it for personal enjoyment.

In any event, great mod and I really like the thunderstorm meta sound added to the thunderstorms that effects the zombies, very cool :steamthumbsup:
