This mod is good though I haven't used any other mod.
I'd like to see a feature where it only eains or snows under clouds. Also I think gray raindrops would be better looking.
And I think it should rain or snow depending on the date and snow all day on Christmas.
What do you think of my ideas?
*EDIT* Does snow pile up?
I test mines.

Looks like the particle spawner needs an update.

Also in this world I have there is always this little cloud that rains in a 30x30 space and never moves. That's not supposed to happen, is it?
I test mines.

Adding this code to Snow.lua under the -- Snow cover section means the snow will gradually melt rather than forming a permanant white square on the ground...

Code: Select all

minetest.register_abm({
	nodenames = {"weather:snow_cover"},
	interval = 10.0,
	chance = 20,
	action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider)
		minetest.env:set_node(pos, {name = "default:water_flowing"})
	end,
})

Just a thought about the 30x30 cloud/square on the ground. If you randomly added snow to the ground further out without processing the falling snow. That way there wouldn't be any processor load, but it wouldn't look so artificial.
If you use voxel_manip then you force minetest to load the block which would be a bit safer than just hoping a distant block would be correctly set

Code: Select all

local manip = minetest.get_voxel_manip()
manip:read_from_map(p, p)
Actually on the processor load front. Would it be possible to have a non-particle weather option (using animated walkable nodes). Every computer I've tried it on (including multi-processor pcs) have ground to a halt when the rain or snow starts.

Finally, as it is particularly uncool when it rains inside buildings, what about a quick height check? Something like this would work, you probably only need to check within 5-10 nodes of a player, and if wanted to be really efficient and kept it in an array and only tested unknown columns the speed cost should be pretty negligible:

Code: Select all

-- This will fail if ground level is below -100 or an obsticle above 96 (but this doesn't happen very often)
--if more robust code is needed then could start at cloud level and keep going down til you hit non-air
local manip = minetest.get_voxel_manip()
for i = 96, -100, -1 do	
	p = {x=targetX, y=i, z=targetZ}
	manip:read_from_map(p, p)
	if minetest.get_node(p).name ~= "air" and minetest.get_node(p).name ~= "ignore" then
		groundLevel = i
		break
	end
end

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9915 this may have some issues, needs more work, and no snow, but uses animated nodes, a method that has many advantages.

I like having weather in Minetest, but I have one suggestion for improvement. I don't know how easily it can be done, but it would be cool if the clouds and sky could turn grey during rain or snow.

Could the rain or snow be controlled by the biom? E.g. if someone was in a snow biom there would ocationally be snowfall, and if they were in a rain forest there would be heavy rain every day, possibly even flash floods every blue moon.

Maybe even have seasons? Like every 180 days change the season?

Yes, it could, I am thinking of making a mod like this one thats more to Minecraft standards, like the rain falls into houses and it snows on the grass biom.
What would be good is to have a command so instead of it snowing/raining when I am making videos or when I don't want it to I can just type in "/downfall"

No weather transition code. Use /help weather

Don't particles slow down the game? Is there a build that just kind of stains the screen like when underwater? Would that make the game faster? Could anyone do that?

I'm amazed that I haven't been on here in so long! My latest minetest accomplishment was mining by hand (well, as close as you can get in a computer game) a circle 30 blocks in diameter. It took forever but it's pretty cool.

I have made a mod that adds months. The weather is dependent on the month. It is still under development so don't expect it to be perfect. I used parts of this mod to make the weather. If anyone is brave enough to give it a try then the link is below.

Also if you are interested in helping me develop the mod then please PM me. I still have to add the credit to Jeija for the weather. I will do that very soon. I also plan on adding thunder.

Another attempt to add more lag to the game.

This time I added rainbox for indoors weather. Idea is to draw additional particle spawners at 4,8,12 nodes if player is inside.

That would be quite useful, and so would having a mod-changeable fog color/distance per client, like skyboxes.
Stains would be possible, but couldn't be animated.
Never paint white stripes on roads near Zebra crossings.

You can apply HUD images; see playereffects in adventuretest, it makes the screen black while sleeping.

Which I can't figure out how to get out of. Anyhoo, yes, how do you think they stain the screen when under water? I know it couldn't be animated, unless it switched between two or three "stains". A few weeks ago I was trying to puzzle out how to make an easy-use weather mod- or at least an idea for one- and I was talking with someone I know and he said that in some of the games he plays there is weather, but it is only on the player's screen instead of particles. So that's where I got that idea. There is also a mod somewhere in one of these forums and they have a big cluster of bubbles on the screen while doing something (that I forget) so that only reinforced my idea.

Ah yes, here it is. Survival mod. "Bubbles appear when underwater":

Clean-up of my previous and top-post version.
Requires serverstep < 0.2. Is not that laggy as before.

This version adds visual effects for toxic rain, blood rain, blood storm.

Last time I tried this was on my old Linux mac computer and my Minetest engine crashed when it began to snow. Now that I am on a Windows 8 HP will it not crash? Thanks.
