Dynamic Weather and Time System
Version: 1.0
Author: ThallionDarkshine (no credit needed)
Date: May 25, 2012
Version History
- <Version 1.0> 2012.5.35 - Original Release
Planned Future Versions
- <Version 1.1> Support for MAWS (Modified Advanced Weather System)
Description
When the game starts, the weather system picks a random time of day. The screen tone changes as time passes, with each minute taking a certain amount of seconds specified in configuration. After a random amount of time, the weather changes, either to normal, rain, storm, snow, fog, or clouds. The storm includes random lightning as well.
Features
- Can disable random weather
- Weather changes dynamically
- Put (in) in map name to disable weather
- Change screen tint with time of day
Instructions
To use, place directly under main.
To turn on or off random weather (replace true with false to turn off):
$weather.rand_weather = true
$weather.update
To change the varience of weather:
$weather.varience =
To change the base time between weather changes:
$weather.base =
To change the second equivalent of one minute realtime:
$weather.min_equiv =
