Dynamic Weather Overhaul - Complete

MAIN Module:

Weather System Rework: Expanded range of weather events, each with unique durations and transitions.
Regional Weather Diversity: Distinct weather patterns for different regions.
Immersive Atmospherics: Heightened intense weather activity in unstable areas to increase environmental immersion.
Restored Weather Events: Restoration of Light Rainy, Foggy and Thundery, featuring refined skyboxes and cloud formations. From 4 base weathers to 7.
Unpredictable Emissions: Time between Emission events now have varying lengths and can start sooner or later than in vanilla.

Optional Module:

Immersive Emissions Overhaul: Vanilla Friendly Emissions now feature dramatic and realistic coloring, tone and intensity, beautiful clouds and smoother pronounced transitions.
Base Weathers Overhaul: Clear, Cloudy, Rain and Storm get an overhaul.

Addons:

(Addon - Experimental) Brighter Nights Module: 3 levels of added brightness for players who prefer more visibility at night. Customize the brightness of nighttime.
(Addon) Realistic Sun Path: Matches real-world sun trajectory during the late summer.

Version 2.4 New Features:

Powered by SDK: SDK now allows for better development, testing and access to new features. Expect DWO to grow and get better from here on. For this first release, enjoy:

• Overwhelming Emission Vortex: The Emission Vortex now looks more menacing and intense, being much bigger and close to the ground, with a much more dense and heavy feeling to it.
  
• Improved Lightning Flash: Lightning now lights and covers more area, making thundery weathers feel more lively.

It is possible to mix and match, all can work independent from each other, but could cause issues.

This mod conflicts with any mods that alter the following files:

Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData WeatherChainPrototypes.cfg WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg

It also modifies Unreal Engine Assets located in

Stalker2\Content\light\Curves Stalker2/Content/_Stalker_2/VFX/Environment/Rain/Niagara/NS_Rain_Weather.uasset Stalker2/Content/_Stalker_2/VFX/Environment/Generators/NS_Generators_Ligtnings_Core_2.uasset

These are UE assets which are compiled and repackaged, and cannot be easily merged with other Weather Mods.

The mod really benefits from Real Longer Days[www.nexusmods.com] for added immersion.

I recommend using Yert's Ini Mod[www.nexusmods.com] or Ultra Plus[www.nexusmods.com] for enhanced weather and lighting effects. These have fixes for lighting which accompany this mod.

How to help:

Best way to support my mods is to provide feedback in the comments. I will always try to be approachable and comment on any feedback/requests.

You can always donate to me via Nexus or Ko-FI[ko-fi.com]. But I rather you keep your money or donate it to a charity of your choosing on my name. All money I make from modding, I will anyways donate to my local Ukrainian Refugees support group[www.wolja-stuttgart.de].
