So I figured it out, the way you have to go about it doesn't seem very friendly to thirdparty content. Is there a way to load in new content without having to modify lua/gweather/menu/menu.lua? I would hate to have to reupload the entire addon just for a couple of new things.

I'm currently working on a way to have this supported by default

Wonderful. For now, I'm experimenting by kitbashing things together and making my own assets. Can't wait to make something cool with this!

Awesome! I think I have a system that works now.

About the base:

• Entity class must start with "gw_t#" for it to work properly with the base (Ex. gw_t1_sunny)
  
• Entity should be under the "gw_base" baseclass (you can just copy one of the existing weather entities to build on)

The code below goes in a lua/autorun file to mount the extra weather type

After that, it should work. You might have to look around to understand what some functions do, but I can help if you need any clarification.

I'll have to check this out tomorrow as it's getting pretty late over here!

Pretty excited to update everything to work with this system. If I have any questions, I'll let you know.

I might just make a Category 6 and 7 Hurricane with this lol

I've got *two* issues going on right now.

1. I'm having issues getting my sound to loop. I see you're using .WAV files and I can only assume you used Wavosaur to set loop points on them. I tried this but the problem that I've run into is that it just eviscerates my performance. So far the only solution has been to use an .OGG file instead but that comes with the problem of not being able to loop.

2. This is me being lazy by not wanting to crack open the Source Engine Particle Editor to simply hueshift the light rain particles to a bloodish red and maybe reduce the spray clouds a little, but if you'd be willing to throw a homie a bone he might cook with that, hint hint nudge nudge 😉

another pretty screenshot since some people liked the first one.

A flavor thing I'd like to do is render the moon *over* the clouds but I haven't found a way to do that without completely screwing up how the map renders. It's worth mentioning I'm taking the things you've made and kitbashing them together. I'm familiar enough with gLua to understand what I'm reading but I'd be stumped if I was told to actually write something of my own.

Not gonna lie, the outdated version I've got on hand is fairly difficult to navigate and it's a lot of feeling around in the dark to get anywhere. This code was clearly not meant for other people to crack into and read. I should probably update and get moving on properly updating my blood moon.

if gWeatherInstalled then -- check if the addon is installed local function AddgW(name,class,category,adminonly,off) -- easy function to add to list list.Set( "gWeather_Weather", class, {Name = name,Class = class,Category = category,AdminOnly =(adminonly or false)} ) end AddgW(name_here,class_here,category_here,adminonly_here) -- add to gweather spawnlist -- Example: AddgW("Derecho","gw_t4_derecho","Tier 4",false) end

After that, it should work. You might have to look around to understand what some functions do, but I can help if you need any clarification.

Has the mod been put on a hiatus at the moment?

I wonder if theres been any updates regarding this

A question will there be way more added? im greedy idc i love this addon so much!
