@Hadesinferno1 - While I know that the regular sand storm effects from my Alien Weather mod tend to look black, Mars should be orange, so I don't know what could be causing your issue.

If you want me to look into this further, please report it on the GitHub page I recently established. You can find the link in the mod description above.

Did you make sure the ashtray didn't burn?

This does now work At all! ... :\ just black smoke all over the screen

It doesn't matter if you use it before or after removing the mod; the command is vanilla.
You just need creative tools on to use it.

@Skallabjorn - Before removing the mod, make shure so use this chat command
In-Game: /weather Clear.

That's all.

Is there a way to turn off the weather before removing the mod?

@Stal - I'm unable to see if that's a joke or actually serious. If it is serious, explain your problem with more detail please.

it wont stop HELP IT WONT STOP IT WONT STOP AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Okay, thank you for the reply!

It's a shame that Keen didn't get it right from the start and rushed to publish weather content that is not yet technically finished.

@ZettDeEff - If you mean preventing weather from being inside strcutures & underground areas, nope, thats a Keen problem I can't fix. And even if there was a ModAPI-way to do it, I suck at C#, so I probably don't even know how to do that :P

Are you able to ban the weather from the base or is this Keen's construction site?

@Darian Stephens - Cheers, then its resolved :)

Those are in the vanilla WeatherEffects.sbc, so yes.

@Darian Stephens - Correct, that is indeed the conclusion i came to. And yeah, i figured you didnt keep the weird effects - MarsStormLight & MarsStormHeavy still exist though, right?

I'm sure this is the conclusion you came to, but to make sure there's 100% clarity, yes my mod works as a replacement for MWE.
The only thing it lacks is the custom test weathers KptKosmit made (Clang, Apocalypse, and so on).

I'm also currently working on adding Realistic Sound support to weathers, which means you can close your helmet and have the intense rain muffled. No guarantee that will work, but I'm testing it now.
At the very least, I could replace the rain sounds with something nicer. Probably in an optional mod, in case people prefer the vanilla ones.

Addendum: Turns out i suck at reading earlier comments, my 2 questions resolved themselves

@Darian Stephens - Sorry for the late reply, wasn't paying attention to steam. Nice to see that you beat me to it :P I'll be adding your mod to the collection and hopefully releasing Alien/Titan soon.

I wanted to ask - is your weather fix mod a replacement for KptKosmit's More Weather Effects (MWE), and does it include the sandstorms & extra effect patterns?

If yes, then i'll make your version the requirement for Mars, Alien & Titan.
If not, how well does it play together with MWE?

I've uploaded my modification, with the full credit required by the script:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2060560985

I've managed to get it working myself for Earthlike.
I would appreciate your blessing to upload it, but it seems the script allows use regardless, so long as it's mentioned in the description.

Any word on the Earthlike version of this mod?
Really looking forward to being protected from the rain inside my base.

If the problem is that rain goes upwards, I've got a fix for that on my workshop, which also does the same thing as More Weather Effects (Which is apparently broken, for some reason).

@YoshiWoof22 - It has been a pleasure to help :-)

@ZettDeEff - Great job with finding the problem, I doubt I would've found it with my testing.

This is probably a Keen issue (wouldnt surprise me), but im not sure - I'll go ask around in the modding community if anyone else is aware of such a problem. Thanks for reporting it with such detail though - I'll attempt to reproduce it when i find the time. I'll hopefully get back to you with more details :)

@YoshiWoof22 I have now identified the problem i had. I've tried it in a existing Savegame WITH and WITHOUT further mods. In NO case any commands (e.g. /weather MarsStormHeavy) worked for me.

EXCEPT after a respawn on the same planet (in this case Vanilla Mars) I just used the Vanilla Drop Pod (with parachute) for testing.

The basic conditions were during the tests:

- Vanilla Mars
- Survival
- Game Settings (Advanced) Standard + In-Game Script enabled
MODs:
- More Weather Effects (by -=KptKosmit91=-)
- WEC - Mars Weather Generator (by YoshiWoof22)

Not to forget, thanks a lot for this great mod! It increases the immersion immensely

Yup :)

@Skallabjorn - I wasn't expecting it to work on modded Mars, guessing it has the same name as the vanilla one? (Code goes by planet name, so its the only logical reason as to why it would work)

working fine for me on both vanilla mars AND my modded mars...

@ZettDeEff - Interesting... If you got this mod and More Weather Effects loaded, you should be getting randomized weather on Mars every 15' minutes or so.
Do you only have these 2 mods loaded or some others too? Would need some more info to properly investigate, as i got no idea why it isnt working for you...

It won't work for me. Am I a dope? Or do I need to configure something? The description doesn't give much away. Added "More Weather Effects" and this mod here...nothing

Really looking forward to that Earth one!

NOICE!

@Skallabjorn - Already in the works, same for Alien and Titan.

need one for earth now :)

Thank you :)

@Frerudo - Yes they do :)

Just a quick question.. Does this map work well with your other random weather mods loaded?

@Raegenhere - While i appreciate the feedback and amazing suggestion, I absolutely suck at ModAPI & C# scripting, and I don't think I'm capable enough to create an entire framework.

When I get done setting these generators up for the remaining 3 planets, I'll probably go back to using XML-based frameworks like the Modular Encounters Spawner and upcoming RivalAI to make NPC/PvE mods again.

If me and KptKosmit91 come up with new features/effects, we will keep these weather mods updated, so don't worry about that. We definetly won't be abandoning this anytime soon :)

Thanks for this! For now this is great, however I think we definitely will need a proper all-in-one configurable weather framework, were one can adjust frequency, duration and wheather types per planet (custom ones as well). Not a trivial undertaking, and its still early days for weather in SE, but hopefully you or someone else will tackle this. Wouldn't count on keen doing anything in that regard.

@Skallabjorn - Awesome to hear, might tune in if i have time to see it in action :)

Adding to my weekend streams "Betrayal" series...

mars weather for mars planet... more likey :)

Important Notice:
I have updated the mod to not only fix a coding-related error, but also use different weather effects provided by More Weather Effect .
However, this means there's no more Snow or fog, but instead sandstorms. If people want me to bring those back (likely in an alternative mod), PLEASE leave a comment and I'll gladly do it.

SWeet! ty ty

I'm so looking forward to it being done for Earth.
Especially if it has compatibility with KptKosmit91's more weather mod, which features rain and thunderstorms. Even if you don't have sandstorms in the deserts, they would add so much to the environment.

Ree

Well for now CO2 snow and weird fog phenomena it is - I might get back to this once i get my PvE mods going again (and if kosmit helps me).

Hah, yes I see that! And yes, I'd be totally supportive of a sand-enabled version of this, instead of snow :)

@PixelatedDrake - Wow you're fast... Just updated the description to iterate on sandstorms.

Nice idea, very cool to see weathers being added to other planets! My personal concern, is playability and the look of it? Like..Is this just "snow" on mars, or a dust-specific weather type? dust storms would be sweet, I'm all for that, but hving it look like christmas on mars? nothanks~
