NIM Dynamic Weather (ArmA2 Compatible!)

dragonbaron · July 3, 2009

Has anyone had luck in getting this to work in MP??
I have desert wind in mission and works in SP but go MP nothing? even if everyone else has same addon.

It is a shame as it is a great addon but needs to be MP friendly.

Any solutions are highly appreciated by everyone on here I am sure :)

Same problem here. NIM works fine in SP but not in MP. A solution would be fine.

Not sure what the solution is. I'm going to try to get in contact with Sentinel and resolve the issue.

Domination has a weather system that seems to by and large successfully coordinate weather conditions across clients... I have no idea how it does that but someone who actually understands code might be able to gain a few ideas from that??

Just an idea...

Thanks for your effort Binkowski.

Still no news it's sad it doesn't work anymore in MP.

CarlGustaffa · March 13, 2007

@Bushlurker: Domination uses overcast only, not fog. That makes it much more easy to synchronize, and make it change over time properly. Reason is that you cannot change overcast and fog at the same time. Also rain is never synchronized, as each client does its own thing. For synchronized rain to happen, you'll need very short loops (especially for low rain) to reset the rain to the published value continuously. Wind is also not forced, meaning clients vary too much. Wind can be synchronized using setWind, but will never be 100% (loops also doesn't work), but with higher amounts of wind, the discrepancy isn't that obvious.

Is this gona get fixed any time soon cause this is sad work, wanted to get an over all blizzard effect for a winter map in MP but still doesnt work.

eosteric · March 27, 2010

Is there a way to get this mod in the SP campaign? Not just mission editor.

Or any other mods for some weather in the campaign?

Looking for "atmosphere" mods in general.

Did you ever manage to get this to work Kju.

Kju left the BIS Forums a while back. He asked that his account be closed etc.

It's possible he is still hanging around but your best bet is probably DevHeaven.

It's possible he is still hanging around but your best bet is probably DevHeaven.

Thanks for that info.

I came here looking for a multiplayer solution too. I found one myself (for the snow at least).

taking this from the config posted above:

init = "[_this select 0,9] exec '\NIM_Weather\NIM_Snow.sqs'";

then converting it in a trigger to (this/that/[] it doesn't matter), as long as it's not a local variable:

[this,9] exec "\NIM_Weather\NIM_Snow.sqs"

you will get a small script error, but nothing game breaking.

:yay: snow

I have placed thunder clouds & the lightning effects (or thunder Nim object!) & am getting this error when tryin to 'preview' in editor - No entry config/cfgvehicles/thunderlight.effects - so im not getting the lightning effects but im getting the thunder sound only, any know what this means?

Yeah I've had that issue from day-one. This reply is too late to help that guy, but still, for anyone wondering. Also I would be curious if anyone has lightning effects working?

This needs converting to SQF really. Was quite a good addon back in the day.

I use script NIM_Snow.sqs in my mission and use this command :[this,25] exec "NIM_Snow.sqs" . I have question can i add more snow and howto change vievdistance ?

Is there any way to include this in a mission as a script, to avoid having users have to download and install this as an addon?

It is really remarkable, gives the best weather effects I've seen.

i did that for ARMA 1 version of NIM weathr unfortunately all the work was lost with my gaming raid...

also while this weather was excellent it was really extremely performance unfriendly

and i remember i rewrote many parts to be lighter on CPU usage

(technically using it in MP with some sync caused server FPS to go 1/3 w/o optimizing,

which was really bad as all other scripts already caused 1/2 perf hit)

there are 2 newer weather scripts nows available (one for SP one for SP&MP) ...

i think the best would be look on the MP one and then add to it what's missing from this one

especially for MP the correctly optimized script and framework is crucial part

anyone got this running with arma 3 or are there similar addons for arma 3 i just cant seem to find? looking for a well done sandstorm/snowstorm/blizzard/seasons script/addon..

seems to be the same addon that is partly implemented in thirsk. the blizzard module for thirsk is working perfectly in arma 3...
