ADDON [Addon] Made a rain/snow addon for Forever, looking for feedback from people who actually care about weather
Hi ya'll, I really enjoy rain for some reason IRL and in-game, but it doesn't rain enough in-game so I made an add-on for myself, and figured why not publish cause others might enjoy it
Comfy Rain. Rain or snow anywhere, four intensities each, drizzle up to stupid monsoon.
- Game's own weather sounds, layered so they don't loop obviously, plus distant thunder
- Wind gusts move the rain, the audio and the light together, not on separate timers
- Time of day. Run the world's lighting off your clock instead of the realm's. Aussie on a US server and it's 4am in game at your lunchtime?
/comfy time local. Or+9to shift it, or18to pin golden hour forever. Works with the rain off, so it's a lighting mod on its own - Export your whole setup as one line of text and paste it to a friend
- Every slider prints its slash command while you drag it, so you learn them without trying
What it can't do, up front:
- It's a screen-space overlay. Addons can't touch the game's real 3D weather, lighting, particles or sky
- So: no rain outside a window while you're stood indoors, no sky or fog changes, no puddles
- Real server storm? It gets out of the way and lets the game's own 3D rain fall. That one's better than anything I can draw
What I actually want help with:
- Indoor detection is a guess and it gets it wrong. The client answers for the whole building you're in, not what's over your head, so courtyards, awnings, bridges and cave mouths fade the rain out when they shouldn't.
/comfy buggrabs your coords for you - Do the intensities feel right, or is the top end silly?
- What's missing? Fog and drifting leaves are on the list, nothing's locked in
Free, MIT, no network calls, doesn't phone home.
