Moerderhoschi 106 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Day & Weather Script by Moerderhoschi Two weeks ago i wrote a script that force the same Daytime and weather at all clients ( also JIP). Very useful could be this script at snipermissions where at all clients should be the same wind. (strength and direction). few wind gust are still there but in my opinion it's more realistic and the mainwinddirection and strength are permanent the same. maybe one or the other find this script useful. Feedback is desirable. UPDATE VERISION 1.2 - 01.12.2012 optimized script added two templates no need anymore to set a specific date.

DOA 20 Posted June 26, 2011 I have discovered that for the times to be accurate the mission time in the editor must be set to 12:00 (Noon). What is the date that we need to start in order to have the Night with full moon? I see the date is set for the Dark night setting in the script but not for the Full moon, so I assume the full moon date must be set in the editor like the 12:00 noon starting time. I guess I could test a few dates till I found a full moon date? Thanks for the JIP compatible time and weather. Much appreciated....DOA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted June 26, 2011 If date give a moonless night, maybe somthing like ±half a month to get a full moon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b1944 10 Posted October 15, 2011 Hi Moerderhoschi I saw your script in W0lle's Motorcade mission and really liked it. I would like to add it to a mission that I'm now working on but I have a question. I need only random weather because it's a stealth mission taking place at night. In this case I will have to modify the description.ext only. Is that right? I just simply modify the values and texts in paramsArray[0]? Thank you for the great scrip.

W0lle 1048 Posted October 16, 2011 It's a bit more complicated actually, I made myself a 'weather only' copy of that script: /* =============================================================================================== Day&Weather Script - by Moerderhoschi Version: 1.1 Date: 12.02.2011 =============================================================================================== */ //VariableToForcePermanentWeather if (isServer and isNil "DW_ForceWeather") then {DW_ForceWeather=true; publicVariable "DW_ForceWeather"}; //GlobalWindSettings if (isServer and isNil "DW_wx") then {DW_wx = (switch (paramsArray select 0) do { case 2: {(-10+(random 20))}; case 0: {((-0.5)+(random 1))}; case 3: {(-1+(random 2))}; case 0.5: {(-2.5+(random 5))}; case 0.75: {(-5+(random 10))}; case 1: {(-10+(random 20))}; });publicVariable "DW_wx";}; if (isServer and isNil "DW_wy") then {DW_wy = (switch (paramsArray select 0) do { case 2: {(-10+(random 20))}; case 0: {((-0.5)+(random 1))}; case 3: {(-1+(random 2))}; case 0.5: {(-2.5+(random 5))}; case 0.75: {(-5+(random 10))}; case 1: {(-10+(random 20))}; });publicVariable "DW_wy";}; //ServerWeatherSettings if (isServer and paramsArray select 0 == 2) then {if (isNil "DW_aktweather") then {DW_aktweather = (random 1); publicVariable "DW_aktweather"}; 0 setOvercast DW_aktweather}; if (isServer and paramsArray select 0 == 3) then {0 setOvercast (0.25)}; if (isServer and (paramsArray select 0 != 2) and (paramsArray select 0 != 3)) then {0 setOvercast (paramsArray select 0)}; //ServerRainSettings if (isServer and paramsArray select 0 == 2) then {0 setRain DW_aktweather}; if (isServer and paramsArray select 0 == 3) then {0 setRain (0.25)}; if (isServer and (paramsArray select 0 != 2) and (paramsArray select 0 != 3)) then {0 setRain (paramsArray select 0)}; //WaitUntil Player exists waitUntil {!(isNull player)}; //ClientWeatherSettings if (paramsarray select 0 == 2) then {0 setOvercast DW_aktweather}; if (paramsarray select 0 == 3) then {0 setOvercast (0.25)}; if ((paramsarray select 0 != 2) and (paramsarray select 0 != 3)) then {0 setOvercast (paramsarray select 0)}; sleep 0.5; //ClientWetaherSettingsForLongTime if (paramsarray select 0 == 2) then {36000 setOvercast DW_aktweather}; if (paramsarray select 0 == 3) then {36000 setOvercast (0.25)}; if ((paramsarray select 0 != 2) and (paramsarray select 0 != 3)) then {36000 setOvercast (paramsarray select 0)}; //PermanentForcedClientWindAndRainSettings while {DW_ForceWeather} do { sleep 1; setwind [DW_wx,DW_wy,true]; 3 setRain (switch (paramsArray select 0) do { case 2: {DW_aktweather}; case 0: {(paramsArray select 0)}; case 3: {(0.25)}; case 0.5: {(paramsArray select 0)}; case 0.75: {(paramsArray select 0)}; case 1: {(paramsArray select 0)}; }); }; And the description.ext snippet for it: // Day and Weather script by Moerderhoschi class Params { class Weather { title = "Weather:"; values[] = {2, 0, 3, 0.5, 0.75, 1}; texts[] = {"Random", "Clear", "Partly Cloudy", "Cloudy", "Overcast", "Storm"}; default = 2; }; }; And btw, good job on that script Moerderhoschi.

Moerderhoschi 106 Posted October 16, 2011 Thank you guys for your feedback on my script. @b1944 Take the light version who W0lle has made, its exactly that what you want. @W0lle Nice to hear that my script is useful for you and thanks for posting your light version of it for b1944 :) regards moerderhoschi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b1944 10 Posted October 16, 2011 Hey guys, thanks for your feedback and pardon that i didnt answer until now. I had forgot to tell that i always set the date in the editor to 12:00 - 25 July.Set the date and it should work correct. regards Moerderhoschi I have put W0lle's "light" version into my mission and it seems to work. However I'm a bit unsure about this 12:00 July 25 time and date. Is it necessary to make the script work? In my case it's a night mission so 12:00 is not the best choice. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxp2high 22 Posted October 16, 2011 He was referring to the full moon with that date. 25th is just a full moon date (pretty much) ;) http://www.universetoday.com/20193/moon-phases-2012/ You can set whatever you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mycatsaid 13 Posted January 11, 2012 Does anyone know how to get this script working with domination? I think the script conflicts with the weather/time system already in the game. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted January 11, 2012 Very useful could be this script at snipermissions where at all clients should be the same wind. (strength and direction). Cool script, thanks for sharing! I see that the wind gets synced each second and wonder if/how it may affect perfomance/lag for people with less bandwidth, anyone having any experience with this script in smaller scale MP missions? /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
