Thanks for the mirrors. Main post has been updated to include them.

Where can it be found in editor? I can't find it anywhere

:cool: Cool!
Great work. Thanks to all involved people. I'm very impressed.

[Skulleye]

Is there any way to have it automatically activated in all missions? Like just put it in the addons folder and then it works :)

[Nosedive]

Nevermind i figured it out. I was trying to place it as the first thing on the map, but i forgot you need to designate a player entity first.

Extremely cool! How did you get that awesome pink/orange haze in that screenshot? Are those arma2 screenshots? I tested out a number of the weather types at various times of day but it doesn't look like the screenshots. I also get some error about there not being a lightning texture or something every time lightning strikes.

[Defunkt]

Thank you.

[kylania]

What a beautiful thing!! Can't wait for some snow camo and snowy maps! :)

[frag]

For those who tried it already ... is tough on the FPS or barelly noticeable?

[Binkowski]

It shouldn't have that big of an effect on your FPS, I never have had a problem with it. Also, the screenshot of the pink haze, is from ArmA1, however it is a mix of Fog / Mist / Rain / Sandstorm. Just mix them up and see what you can find. Glad to see you guys are enjoying it.

[Atsche]

Ah finally NiM Weather is back, good job in that Point. Thx
:rolleyes:
But its full of silly rpt errors you should clean up the stuff in a next update.
ex.
File nim_weather\config.cpp, line 558: '/CfgVehicles/ThunderLight.scope': Missing ';' at the end of line "this error is a joke and could be removed before rel. So much to the todays quality standarts."

[CrazyAce]

For those who tried it already ... is tough on the FPS or barelly noticeable?

Ehh... Kind of hard to say, I use Kju's proper tweaks and get high FPS in the mid 40's + this mod installed.

[CaptainBravo]

Sounds like a great addon! I shall try later this eve. Is it MP friendly or would you have same synch issues like with the standard rain in MP?

[Binkowski]

Thanks for reporting that SgtAce, I'll be sure to fix that in the next update.

[Nosedive]

man i just found the coolest combination! if you have moderate mist and fog, as well as a dark grey cloud-layer and a medium snow, coupled with a heavy sand storm, and set the time of day to dawn, you get what looks and sounds like the aftermath of a nuclear strike!

[Himmelsfeuer]

This Addon is really awesome!-.-

I saw snow covering the ground also in a video in arma2, is that possible somehow?

[Bushlurker]

Well Done Binkowski!!! Working great so far ( the ; error was in the original too!)...

@<hidden>
Snow on the ground is a little trickier... that would require a snow ground texture, either in an addon like Landtex, or permanently placed, in a snowy version of an actual "island"...
Worse still... snow on trees, roofs, etc requires all those objects to be retextured... a Massive Task!

... don't think there aren't people working on it though! :D
Have a look in this thread (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=86799) for stuff people are working on... looks like there may be basic replacement snow units and maybe even a snow island soonish...

PS... the "Snowy Drago" island for Arma1 has snow on the ground... it's probably the one you've been seeing in videos... it's "unbinarised" so it takes a couple of minutes to load, but runs fine under CAA1...

[Himmelsfeuer]

Cool thanks for the info!
Guess i stick with ArmaII so solong,the not existing roads in Arma I killing me;)

Well cant take too long till the community releases another great addon i hope..
Stuff like this is allways "the cherry on the cake"=)^

[papoose244]

How do I use this mod I went to class but dont see units or game logic.

[Binkowski]

How do I use this mod I went to class but dont see units or game logic.

Make sure that you have a unit down and you are the player. Then go to...


Units (F1) -> Side -> Game Logic -> Class -> NIM Dynamic Weather etc.

[Nosedive]

To clarify, ensure that the game logic is at least the second thing you place, after you place yourself. The logic options will be hidden otherwise.

[neokika]

Thanks for sharing your work..

Im having a problem, when I choose Rain and Thunders, in dynamic wheather or any other option, before the thunder come, I get a missing file (//ThunderLlight.efects//) error and I hear the sound of the thunder but there is no Light Effects...

Im using no mods, only beta 59210

Thanks a lot!

[CuDa]

Same here.. error thunder lighting effect.

rest of it is great tho.

Thank you.

[Dogmeat of Finland]

Is it possible to make a very windy weather. I'm not talking about rain or thunder but just dark sky with howling wind and trees bending and so on.

I have to try this :D. I was planning to make a mission for P85 which would take place after a Soviet nuclear strike.

[Himmelsfeuer]

Looks like there some more issues with the mod.
I had ArmaII shut down twice now in a blizzard on beginning.
selected dynamic weather with "heavy snow and blizzard".

Can confirm thaht too.

Sometimes the Game sound disappears completle after the (overdozed) thunder rumble sounds.

[{USI}_Zombie]

I personally don't get the lightening error, but I don't get some of the effects either. Fog, rain etc works just fine, snow and sandstorms don't do anything?

[Master gamawa]

Ok I love this addon but I seem to have problem. I run a test mission on my LAN and saw that my fog was different in every machine. My main pc had a bit of mist in the distance, two other pc had heavy fog all around that killed visibility and the fourth had almost no fog at all.

Is it random for every pc that plays in the same mission? Because you can imagine how many problems that can cause "HEY on the left side machinegunner running down the hill" "what? Where it's too bloody foggy here!" "No it isn't!" "Yes! Yes it is Where are you?"

[poolpunk]

Hey Master-gamawa. I suppose your problem is caused by different view distances on all clients, because amount of fog visible is related to view distance. I think the only solution would be to use a fixed view distance for all clients ..

[Master gamawa]

Ι have set all my pcs to the same graphics settings. All identical (apart from screen res because my main pc has a big monitor).
All graphics are set on the exact same config. View distance 4000, AA low, PP off and all the rest to High.
But the weather effects aren't synched and I don't know why. It has happened with rain too. My main pc was showing a storm and the other two... just a nice spring drizzle.

Oh, extra question. As I understand, the pcs on my LAN get their graphics settings from the "server" pc, right? If I set my server pc to view distance 3000 and terrain detail to normal, all the other pcs are going to follow that?

Or do I have to get those settings in some sort of config file in the mission folder? That was never clear to me.

[andersson]

Is the weather and fog random? If so maybe the author forgot to synch it over MP?

[Master gamawa]

Yes... it's called random anyway... Random fog, random snow blizzard etc. I thought that meant that the effects are created randomly when the mission starts but are the same for everyone after that.
I swear that has happened with the original rain in the editor. Sometimes I set the weather to "suck" and everything is fine until I tell my friends "I can't see anything let's wait until the rain stops" and my friends usually respond with "rain? what rain?"

It's kind of annoying...

[andersson]

Yes, to make a MP compatible weather one need to use global variables with fog, overcast and rain so all machines get the same values.

[Master gamawa]

Ok I don't want to fudge this thread up anymore. can you direct me to some sort of info about global variables and how to set those up?

pm me if you got it.

[andersson]

I ment public variables, not global.. You have to rewrite the scripts, and then the bikeys will be wrong. But if you want to do it have a look at the scripting forum and on the biki :)

But in short; you need to have a server check (a gamelogic can work with a check if its there), then let only the server define the random values that will be used, after that you make the variables public so they will be broadcasted and used by the clients so the code use the same values on all machines.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/publicVariable

Im sorry, but I cant help you more now, + I dont know how the code looks in this addon so as I dont really know I might make a fool out of myself :P

[Smiley Nick]

Me and Sentinel have spoken and have decided to rework some of the effects to maximize the possible effects for Arma2. (more details soon)

As for the fog issue, the main reason is due to the fact that this is not being hosted via a dedicated server. I’m pretty sure when me and Sentinel tested this, that the effects can only be shown/synced via a dedi server.

If your hosting a game with a friend, or via LAN, you will find that the effects will never be in sync or sometimes not show at all.

Hi, :)

I really Like this addon, I will test the config of Kju.

I ask you if is possible to set a radius also for sand storms and other effects

for example I want a sand wind or storm near cayo but not in all Island landscapes...

.... Cayo... THANK YOU CAA1 ;)

[Hit_Sqd_Maximus]

How difficult would it be to make this similar to a sound mod or the particle effects mod where it works on the client side in MP missions who have the mod installed? For example, missions with bad weather will use the NIM weather but only the players that have it installed will see it that way? That away missions won't have the addon dependency.

[anfiach]

Such a thing wouldn't make sense. In pvp it would be a disaster and no one would use it. In COOP it could be a disaster as well, why would you want to sit for 45 minutes waiting for the weather to clear on your transport pilot's screen while you have a crystal clear day?

[Gabe_Ruckus]

I think he means given that the addon is updated so hosts and clients weather effects would be in sync. I play a lot of small coop with family members out of state, dynamic weather would be a welcome addition.

[Cossack8559]

I have a problem, everytime i set the weather to rain and thunder... after about 2 minutes in the game it stops... it does this everytime i place it... is there no way to keep it raining?

[Rommel]

There are errors every where in the addon, I placed down each module and about 50% of them had errors show up on screen, however they were not easily reproducible, which means they were prone to external variables. Perhaps a variable didn't exist at the time of execution. Who knows.

[JW Custom]

Anybody having success getting snow?

I tried placing a Snow (Blizzard) game logic but nothing happens, i also tried the other Snow game logics but with same result.

Am i doing something wrong?

[CaptainBravo]

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.

[Binkowski]

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

[Bushlurker]

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...

[DragonBaron]

Thanks for your effort Binkowski.

[luckyhendrix]

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

[CarlGustaffa]

@<hidden>: 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.

[DarkSide Six]

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]

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.

[DarkSide Six]

Here is a config that may work. Testing would be appreciated.

Did you ever manage to get this to work Kju.

[Darkhorse 1-6]

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.

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

[fosfap]

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?

[Nosedive]

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?

[rexehuk]

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

[wszystko_zielone]

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 ?

[malkekoen]

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.

[Dwarden]

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

nevermind
