Shiny Keldeo Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 Name: Keldeo Suggestion: StormFox - Environment Mod Implementation: A better alternative to the current Atmos Weather/Day/Night Cycle mod currently implemented on the server. Better control over Weather, Temperature, Time, and even Wind. Has various weather types including Rain/Snow (Depending on Temperature), Acid Rain, Overcast, Sunny, Sandstorm, and Fog Cover. Time can be haulted, and weather is automatically generated over time but can be activated manually. Special Weather like Acid Rain and Sandstorms are Disabled to automatically generate, and have to be manually. Wind affects props and other items in the open and can push them around if the config is allowed. Overall a better mod than the current one that was last updated over 2 years ago now.

Qal Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 +1 The concept however I dont know if it will cause crashing with the map, and the weather would be cool.

Founder Square Posted December 4, 2018 Founder Founder Posted December 4, 2018 It does look nice however, it would need to be tested to make sure it didn't lag the server. 1

I've used the addon pretty much since it's been released. Most of the effects are able to be adjusted client side, and it's fairly well optimized for servers.

Shakes. Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) If it work im down. +1 Edited December 4, 2018 by Shakes.
Banjans Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 +1 If it doesn’t rape the server it would be very cool
Trixx Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 +1 Would be dope, looks like it might lag the server but with Zims performance enhancements idk I was in Dooms Unit for a little while.

Retired Founder Joah Posted December 4, 2018 Retired Founder Posted December 4, 2018 I'm almost 100% sure stormfox is more intensive than atmos
Retired Founder Joah Posted December 4, 2018 Retired Founder Posted December 4, 2018 But we'll review it. 1

Yeah the problem is that it is much different when it is comparing performance for 1 person to 128. But like Joah said he will start looking into it.

Logic Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Can it change storm intensity? Like a light drizzle vs full thunder and lightning? I'm not toxic. You're just making it really hard to not treat you like an idiot.

OneNiner6719 Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 +1 If not for main, would still be nice for event server, where things can be a lot more controlled.

Esitt Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 This will be a Founders decision considering @Joah and @Square are already on top of it.

Sparklez Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Vro, Stormfox is STUPIDLY painful on slightly lower quality computers. It has some cool ish features, but it can really lag bad at times. A better option for weather would be the Simple Weather addon that got taken down from the Gmod Store. I do have it though if anyone needs it 1

Shiny Keldeo Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 The mod is still being updated regularly with optimization improvements, with most of the graphical settings being completely client side. The mod has also been tested for player counts and the latter if this quote from the author is any indication. "It is made to support as many people as possible. This means SF runs mostly on the client, will adjust its quality to each individual machine and even try to adjust itself to most maps for the best outcome."

ImDazed Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 +1, It doesnt mess with lights within the base (or atleast it shouldnt)
Scribbles Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Bumping this. Also +1 since if it can be in the server without the server itself lining up for the gallows.

Sinister Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 @Square I believe stormfox is the alternative weather system to Atmos that we tested during the initial development of MilitaryRP. Ran pretty well if I remember correctly, but we only had like 10-15 people on the server when the weather was enabled. I liked how it auto adjusted the settings since I have a shit computer.
