ALiVE's dynamic weather system creates realistic climates to suit the geographical region, season and locale. Critically, the Weather module synchronises server time and weather across all connected clients in a Multiplayer game, including those who Join In Progress.
Usage: Place the Weather Module in the editor and choose from the following parameters. Do not Synch it to anything.
Enable Debug: Enables dynamic weather module debug mode. Debug Output Delay: Delay in seconds between each rpt output (Enable Debug must be enabled). Weather Climate: See below for an explanation of the available locales. Cycle Variance: Amount of variance to weather between weather cycles. Cycle Delay: Time in seconds between each weather cycle (minimum 1800 set by game engine). Real Weather Locale: See below.
