Off Rain

[tomasz73]

Hello . I have a question where exactly I turn off the rain.

[Brian Soanes]

If you want static weather, change in epochconfig.hpp

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {};

to

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}};

and comment out 

//{ 1800, "ChangeWeather" },

Alternatively, if you want to retain dynamic changing weather, but want to turn off rain

Crack open the a3_epoch_server pbo and add this line in \compile\epoch_server\EPOCH_server_setWeather.sqf
at around line 33
 

if (_rain > 0)then{_rain = 0;};

Then repack the pbo.

Thanks for the quick response check it out

The function in the server pbo is not used anymore as the code was moved to a Epoch Event as mentioned on the changelog:

[Added] Weather code migrated into an Epoch Event and code moved to settings pbo.

ChangeWeather.sqf

I added that line of code to the weather event/settings and it didn't work, added line to server pbo and it worked.

Check that you updated your epochconfig.h and are not running an old server fsm.

All updated, I have a 2nd fsm, it could be that, i'll report back.

[tomasz73]

I changed the epoch config.hpp 

 

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {}; // Default: {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Clear day; {19,1,{1,1,40},1,{5,5}}; // Cold Foggy Rainy Overcast Windy; Format: {temp <scalar>,rain <scalar>,fog <array>,overcast <scalar>,wind <array>}

events[] = {

    { 3600, "CarnivalSpawner" }, // SECOND <scalar>, EVENT <string>

    { 2400, "EarthQuake" },

    { 1800, "ChangeWeather" },

    { 1200, "ContainerSpawner" },

    { 300, "PlantSpawner" } //No comma on last Entry

on 

 

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Default: {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Clear day; {19,1,{1,1,40},1,{5,5}}; // Cold Foggy Rainy Overcast Windy; Format: {temp <scalar>,rain <scalar>,fog <array>,overcast <scalar>,wind <array>}

events[] = {

    { 3600, "CarnivalSpawner" }, // SECOND <scalar>, EVENT <string>

    { 2400, "EarthQuake" },

    { 1800, "ChangeWeather" },

    { 1200, "ContainerSpawner" },

    { 300, "PlantSpawner" } //No comma on last Entry

 

but I do not really know what to change in ChangeWeather.sqf  to turn off the rain

[Brian Soanes]

If you change that to 

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}};

You will have some clouds instead of clear blue sky (unrealistic)

[tomasz73]

I have a clear sky, the sun at the moment there is no rain

 

 

Edit - Hour sit on a server and there is no rain. I think it's fine. I changed only

 

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Default: {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Clear day; {19,1,{1,1,40},1,{5,5}}; // Cold Foggy Rainy Overcast Windy; Format: {temp <scalar>,rain <scalar>,fog <array>,overcast <scalar>,wind <array>}

I have also problems to set static weather since 0.3.1.0.

 

In epochconfig.hpp:

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}};

 

ChangeWeather.sqf is added to "a3_epoch_server_settings\EpochEvents"

 

"Check that you updated your epochconfig.h and are not running an old server fsm."

Where can I find epochconfig.h?

What means "server fsm"?

[He-Man]

Complete fresh server and same problem stays

Make sure you are running the latest @EpochHive\addons\a3_epoch_server.pbo or at least are using it to apply your customizatons.

 

Inside the PBO file the referenced file should be \system\server_monitor.fsm

 

Check the file dates.

What is the server fsm ???

a3_epoch_server.pbo -> 2015-07-29 11:59

 

Checked without Infistar (can change the weather) -> problem stays.

Removed "enableEnvironment true;" from onPlayerRespawn.sqf -> problem stays

 

Why do I have to customize the a3_epoch_server.pbo?

I think, when all files are actual, I only have to change: "WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}};

[ReDBaroN]

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}}; // Default: {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}}; // Clear day; {19,1,{1,1,40},1,{5,5}}; // Cold Foggy Rainy Overcast Windy; Format: {temp <scalar>,rain <scalar>,fog <array>,overcast <scalar>,wind <array>}

};

I have mine set as above and still get rain....anyone worked out how to kill off the rain on Altis? Just rains too much on this map...

[flow0815]

I think it is just bugged. I live with the weather change and my players like it also. So we have to wait for the devs i guess...

[He-Man]

Now I have set up all again.

Now no more rain and normal nighttime...

The only think is, that I have sometimes fog. But this is ok for me.

But I unfortunately don't know, what the Problem was.

 

My Changes:

- Removed "enableEnvironment true;" from onPlayerRespawn.sqf

- reinstalled all epoch files

- WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}};

- // { 1800, "ChangeWeather" },

[tomasz73]

Per very glad because the rain still falling   :wacko:

[He-Man]

Found this:

 

In epochconfig.hpp:

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0,{1,1}};

 

In ChangeWeather.sqf:

if !(EPOCH_WeatherStaticForecast isEqualTo []) then {...

 

Is it right, that the variables have not the same name???

Do I simply have to rename the variable in ChangeWeather.sqf to "EPOCH_WeatherStaticForecast"

 

Okay, tested and do not work.

[dnk_paul]

Our server is currently set to:
WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}};

And it's apparently been raining all day! We're running 0.3.2.0

[blue00]

I'm also having this problem, I changing the WeatherStaticForecast to...

WeatherStaticForecast[] = {75.5,0,{0,0,0},0.4,{1,1}};

And it's fine for a few mins on restart, but then weather change still triggers and it starts pouring again. I tried commenting out the WeatherChangeTime, and\or adding...

if (_rain > 0) then { _rain = 0; };

...to ChangeWeather.sqf, (also tried in the EPOCH_server_setWeather.sqf) but none of this works for me. Weather continues to be not static. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Greek island in the Mediterranean wouldn't get as much rain as Altis gets in Epoch.  Assuming the rain can be "fixed", wouldn't it make sense to use existing weather statistics for Lemnos?

The probability that precipitation will be observed at this location varies throughout the year. Precipitation is most likely around January 6, occurring in 38% of days. Precipitation is least likely around August 1, occurring in 6% of days.
