Simple Weather

Simple Weather is an add-on for GMod that was formerly a paid mod and later released for free when it was discontinued by the original author, disseminate. This upload includes the base add-on & Disaster DLC packs, with a huge list of changes, improvements, and additions made by yours truly.

My goals for Simple Weather try their best to meet these specific criteria:

• Full User Control - As little hard-coded bits as possible, and allow the user as much control over the mod as reasonable.

• Run Light - Have the mod has as little performance impact as possible, and keep disk storage usage reasonably low.

• Feature Rich - Have the mod use a "more with less" mentality, where it prioritizes quality over quantity.

Features

• Day-Night Cycle, with optional real-time clock.

• Random weather, with options to control frequency/duration/toggle.

• Functionality for map input control (toggle street lights, etc.).

• HUD that can show current time (in either 12H or 24H mode) and weather, with options to disable.

• Options panels for quick changing of values and behavior in-game without map restarts.

• Weather can control env_wind based on weather type.

• Snowy weather can change map textures to look snowy.

• Hazardous weathers can be controlled to change amount/frequency of damage, or disabled outright.

• Presets for default, potato computers, and hardcore modes, with the ability to customize your own.

• Emergency Alert System sounds that will play out of standard radio props when inclement weather starts - no special entities needed in your maps or your contraptions!

• A myriad of other features you'll have to try for yourself, as I suck at descriptions.

The map used in the screenshots is RP_Flatgrass_Redux, which is my testbed for this mod & other mods. It supports SimpleWeather's map logic functions.
