Climatez [climatez] (v1.15)

[runs]

Tired of other weather mods that just don't work? Tired of it always being sunny in your game? Do you find the evil chinese guy horrifying? Then use CLIMATEZ!

Yes, another climate mod. :-D

Features

- Intelligent Weather Engine (IWE).
- Effects: Rain, snow and sand.
- Storms, with lightning effect and thunder sound.
- The weather is always related on biomes (temperature and humidity). So this mod does not work with mapgen v6.0.
- This mod create areas of weather (spheres of 80 radius by default), so many players can share the same climate.
- Simple and efective. Fast!
- Wind Feature. "get_player_wind(player_name)" function.
- Subtle and nice rain sound.
- Configurable via "climatez.conf".

Commands

climatez start
-- A new climate will be forced.
-- If a previous climated was active, will be disabled. This change probably won't be noticeable, maybe the wind.
-- Note that the type of the climate forced will be the suitable for that kind of biome.

climatez stop [player_name]
-- 'player_name' is optional.
-- If not 'player_name' defined: The climate is stopped for all the players inside that climate.
-- If 'player_name' defined: The effects of the climate are disabled only for that particular player. The other players are not afected. The climate is not stopped.

Runsy your modsy is not working, the settingtypes.txt file is giving issues. Also, I tested it on a local world in Minetest 5.3.0 and I couldn't see any effects, I even changed climate_change_ratio to 60 and waited a few minutes but I saw nothing.

This is the output of debug.txt:

I don't have that issue. No setting errors in debug.txt. Download the last version and put:

climate_change_ratio = 5
climate_duration = 5

Those are my settings for testing purposes.

You should see almost a permanent rain (more or less each 5 s and of 5 seconds of duration).

Your settingtypes.txt has an incorrect syntax. settingtypes.txt is used in the All Settings menu in the main menu to set minetest.conf settings.

beta 6

- Fixed regression: Rename "settingtypes.txt" to "climatez.conf", cos it is better.

Thanks.

Well, the mod is basically done.
Maybe, I will add future updates/improvements, as:

- Change sky color.
- Sounds.

[runs]

Mod is candidate now to ContentDB.

[runs]

- beta 7.

- Added a subtle, nice rain sound loop. Can be disabled via .conf.

[Minix]

I got it to work, I was placing the configuration settings in minetest.conf, instead they need to be changed in climatez.conf inside the mod folder, I don't like this approach very much but it's ok.

However, I got a crash:

Code: Select all

climate_min_height (Minimum height at which climate effects take place) int -10

climate_change_ratio (Chance of a new climate area to be created[seconds]) int 1200

climate_radius (Area of the regional climates sphere?) int 80

climate_duration (Average duration of the climate[seconds]) int 120

climate_duration_random_ratio (Random deviation for the duration) float 0.45

climate_rain_sound (Enable rain sound) bool true

Would this settingtypes.txt work ?
By the way, climate_radius is weird, shouldn't it be "Area of the regional climates circumference" or is it really a sphere ? In that case it will be radius, or volume.

[/quote]

It is a sphere with that radius. I use the term area here as a region of the space, but you are right, area is a flat 2d concept, better volume.

I do not understand settingtypes.txt yet.

beta 9

- Fixed some temperature points to fit better the MTG biomes.

beta 10

- Colored gray sky when raining.
- Added storm chance (heavy rain), confifurable via the .conf file.
