Better Raindrops

For me one side window always receives significantly more raindrops than the other. Truck is the default 389. Last trip it was the passenger side window, making the mirror practically useless. The driver side window had only a couple drops on it.

Is that something inherent in the game or can I adjust the mod somehow to have a more equal distribution across the two side windows?

I would rather have a bit diminished visibility on both sides than one side blind and one working.

@dOOmERdaZe, mod is compatible with 1.56, no update required.

@(Modded-TRSP)Mars.444, Better Raindrops doesn't change thunder sounds :winter2019happysnowman:

thunder sounds go on for too long. well after rain is done

@BIG BONK, sorry, no such plans at the moment. You can manually edit mods to improve compatibility. If you want I can tell how to do it

Could you make another version that is compatible with the Zeemods weather mod, or maybe one that doesn’t include modded sound? Currently, this mod and the Zeemods weather mod are overriding each other. If I place his mod higher in the load order, I get his sound effects but lose your rain effects. On the other hand, if I place your mod higher, I get your rain effects but lose his sound effects

@FilMit, на странице мода для ETS2 человек жаловался что слишком тихо в кабине, ну и пришлось погромче звук сделать) Просто сами движки в ETS2 тише сделаны, оттого и предыдущая версия эквалайзера в ATS лучше ощущалась.

Плюс ещё очень сильно от акустических систем восприятие меняется: у кого колонки, у кого наушники, одни подешевле, другие подороже - и все звучат по-разному. Да и настройки звука в игре у всех тоже разные. Всем не угодишь, короче :KSmiley:
FilMit 1 Aug @ 11:47am 
Честно, прежде эквалайзер лучше был.
На LT, при стандартном звуке и закрытых окнах, теперь радио не слышно,
звук как бочка в бочке...

@darknight_ux, you can place Zeemods above Better Raindrops in Mod Manager, so it have higher priority.
Or you can download non-steam Better Raindrops version, unpack it and remove sound and sound_br folders.
darknight_ux 18 Jul @ 3:32am 
How can I remove sounds? I use the Zeemods sounds, and I prefer dont hava any conflits

Confirmed, does work with 1.54, currently using it
Centenari 6 Apr @ 7:05pm 
@Avel, does this work with 0.54?

hi bro,how to increase the number of raindrops?,i just tried this mod and the raindrop is a bit invisible
Ravnus Lennuryan 21 Feb @ 7:57pm 
#Avel really thanks, it works like a charm on both games!
Avel  [author] 21 Feb @ 2:56pm 
@Killer81, you need to open
material\environment\rain.mat file with any text editor and change
diffuse : { 0.3 , 0.3 , 0.3 }
to
diffuse : { 0 , 0 , 0 }

it will make exterior rain particles invisible.
Ravnus Lennuryan 21 Feb @ 6:11am 
A question about this, there is a way to get rid of the exterior rain streak? not that you should do this in your mod, maybe a different version with it, but I wanted to make this change and have no idea on how to do this, was searching through def and material files

@EricH1983, I'm waiting for Workshop Uploader to update, can't upload my mods right now because of it.
Meantime it is possible to get latest mod version from official SCS forum, if you want.

Needs update to latest patch
Poltergeist 14 Nov, 2024 @ 4:52am 
@luudaigiang. Go make your own mod then smartass....
willemwk 8 Nov, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Is it correct that this mod is not fmod.
luudaigiang 2 Nov, 2024 @ 9:10pm 
I'm really disappointed with this mod. The raindrops look unrealistic. Their shape, speed, and trajectory all seem off, making them appear less convincing than the vanilla graphics. In third-person view, there's no rain effect at all, and you can't even see any splashes from the car, as if it isn't raining at all. The sound of the rain is underwhelming too; it sounds more like a light drizzle, and you only hear it occasionally, as if it's falling on the roof.

Realistic Rain is a much better mod.
Avel  [author] 24 Sep, 2024 @ 4:04am 
@Michael.one3, thunder and lighting are controlled by base game. Sometimes other graphical and sounds mods might affect them. This mod doesn't :KSmiley:
Michael.one3 24 Sep, 2024 @ 12:36am 
is there thunder and lighting flashes in this mod? or is it already included in the base game?
Avel  [author] 14 Sep, 2024 @ 2:08pm 
@vjgamz88, yes, it should work just fine.
VJ GAMZ 04 14 Sep, 2024 @ 8:19am 
hello, does this work with 1.51?
Avel  [author] 28 Aug, 2024 @ 4:25pm 
@Plainolalex, sorry, I don't know such command. I was never able to find corresponding console commands or files/configs in game archives, only rain textures. Currently we can change number of interior raindrops (with a limit near 20000 particles vs default 5000), but not for exterior rain. Outside rain density is controlled from the exe file itself, in SCS Map edittor, with Climate/Weather settings specifically, but we still can't change it's max limit of particles. Please let me know if you'll find out something about it :KSmiley:
Plainolalex 28 Aug, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
Hey Avel! Quick Question.. What is the uset r or g command to increase the amount of rain coming down from the sky. Similar to what other mods do. I know it has to be a command value I can change or modify. Thanks
HOLY_RHIN0 1 Aug, 2024 @ 7:03pm 
" IMPORTANT
- In version 1.6 was added TRUCK ADDON. It is a sub-mod that triples number of raindrops but ONLY FOR ATS SCS TRUCKS! INCOMPATIBLE with modded trucks and interiors. "

so this does not work for modded trucks. Thanks for saving my time. Thumbs up to your mod anyways.
Gaia Narengawa 15 Jun, 2024 @ 11:47pm 
Can you add Polyfir's 116 Cascadia to this? It's crashing with this mod.
WhiteAlphaW0lf 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:46pm 
thx, also for the fast reply. I wasnt sure since the mod said to not use other graphic or weather mods with it, but I guess since your mod only adds new textures to the raindrops, as well as increasing there number and other changes, its not exactly a weather mod I guess
Avel  [author] 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:21pm 
@WhiteAlphaW0lf, yes it is! You can use it with any other weather/graphical mods, just place Better Raindrops above them in Mod Manager :KSmiley:
WhiteAlphaW0lf 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:08pm 
Hey I wanted to ask, do you know if this mod is compatible with Realistic Brutal Graphics And Weather?
Benittoswagolini 10 Jun, 2024 @ 6:16am 
What mod did you use to have the camera sway in first person?
Maxeza 2 Jun, 2024 @ 1:03am 
nice
Avel  [author] 1 Jun, 2024 @ 11:50pm 
Mod is updated, including improved wiper sounds ^^
Drev_n 21 May, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
Seems to work fine in 1.50, but the wiper sound is a bit delayed. It sounds like it hits the side of the window when it's already on the way back to the bottom.
DIGITALGATE 18 May, 2024 @ 10:47am 
yes mod is ok
Ser Pounce 18 May, 2024 @ 7:42am 
It is working just fine.
Plainolalex 17 May, 2024 @ 7:55am 
i can't get this mod to work in 1.5

Avel  [author] 30 Apr, 2024 @ 8:35am 
@SkyTheKitten, interior wind noise is a separate audio event and my Better Raindrops doesn't have it. Perhaps you have some other mods like Sound Fixes Pack or Zeemods Wind, Tire & Trailer that have their own noise sounds?
DIGITALGATE 8 Apr, 2024 @ 11:35am 
ok Avel thx, regards
Avel  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 4:19am 
@DIGITALGATE, it should, yes.
DIGITALGATE 8 Apr, 2024 @ 3:43am
