DynamicWeather

By ApparentlyRohan

Disclosure: I am not really updating this mod anymore or fixing bugs. You are welcome to install it. Expect bugs!

This mod gives GTA its own realistic weather system! Weathers transition as the day continues in game giving more variety in the sky. Read below to see what this mod has to offer:

This mod is open source and includes APIs for developers.

Features:

Weather Sync to a real life location(Requires API key(API is free..DO NOT SHARE YOUR API KEY) and some setup in order to use) BROKEN
Custom realistic forecast
- Temperature and weather condition included
- Predicted (in game) time when the weather will occur
On screen UI
- Forecast
- Current Weather
  - For real life weather sync and forecast BROKEN
- Ability to customize the position and scale of UI
Customizable temperature for different weather conditions
- yes there is a way to switch to Celsius but default is Fahrenheit cuz 'Murica!

APIs:

bool IsRealLifeWeatherSyncRunning();
void PauseWeatherSystem()
void ResumeWeatherSystem()
List<Weather> GetCurrentForecast(out int currentWeatherIndex) # returns an empty list if real life weather sync is running

Events:

OnWeatherChanged

Installation:

Drag and drop Plugins folder into main game directory. Install OIV by dragging and dropping into OpenIV. The OIV file is mandatory.

The time interval in the ini file is representative of in game time. A conversion from in game time to real life time was kindly made by Krazy Manuel and is provided down below.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

The Severe Weather Event from ImmersiveAmbientEvents by @Echooo is not compatible yet with DynamicWeather. Please disable that event if you want to use DynamicWeather.
You cannot have freeze time OR force weather enabled in any trainer. Otherwise, DynamicWeather will not transition between weather.
Some graphic mods consider weather differently. Thus, the graphic shown for different weather settings in GTA may not represent the weather accurately. You are welcome to edit the image names yourself to fit your graphic mods.
I do not log the location from the ini in the RagePluginHook.log. However, if you have trouble with the api working, I will need to know what the location is so please choose something more generic so any identifying information is not revealed while I am trying to debug.
The time interval in the INI is measured by IN GAME HOURS.

Customization:

All textures can be customized. Just make sure the weather textures is optimized for 96x96 and the notification texture is optimized for 64x64.

Console Commands:

PauseForecast
ResumeForecast
RegenerateForecast
RefreshWeather
SwitchToIRLWeather
SwitchToForecast
ReloadDynamicWeatherINISettings

Credits:

@Haze Studio for the notification texture
@Scorpionfam for the thumbnail
@HeyPalu for the on screen textures
Krazy Manuel for the conversion chart
@BlueLine Vibes for making a showcase video of a beta (it is outdated but gives good idea of what the mod does) and providing the discord as a platform to help beta test(Thank you all the beta testers in the discord!).
@khorio for the coding help with time and API integration
@Echooo for weather transition code

What's New in Version 1.1.0

Released August 21, 20241 yr

I pulled an @Alfie's Creations and uploaded the wrong build to FR. This should be the right build. However, there does seem to be an issue with the "Clearing" weather stage and QuantV. In normal GTA, the weather gives you light rain. I think QuantV removed that so the texture is not really accurate to the weather depicted. You can change the texture if that issue happens. Im not entirely sure whether thats the issue though.

1.1.0

Get more variety in the sky

One texture might be not be accurate due to QuantV changing how a weather is.

hello there, i see it's finally released. i have been following Dynamic Weather since beta and i have to say very great work you do here Rohit sir. i have download this full release and try running LSPDFR but it seems it has some issue with mods that i have as it crashing mine when i press go on duty at the station, i tried reverting back to Third Beta but it's still crashing my LSPDFR so my guess it had to have something to do with OIV installer. below is my RHP log sir. please could you look into this. thank you in advance sir.

I am not Rohit, but I can tell you that the problem seems to be related to the ForestryCallouts menu (as it shows an error with ForestryCallouts2 and RAGENativeUI). I recommend you to create a forum topic or check in ULSS.

Hello. I was wondering if there would be a chance in the future that you could make this a script mod so it doesn't require RagePluginHook.

Sorry I'm extremely new with APIs

When it comes to putting setting up the ini - do I put in "APIKey = "[APIkey]&q={UKPostcode}&aqi=no" -

SO FOR EG - (Don't worry it isn't my API just random numbers and a few c's)

in the ini -

Quote

APIKey = c419849814c81c8cc8919898ccc91&q=A123BC&aqi=no

Location =

Because the API is for air pollution. so I'm guessing the "location" part auto-fills in the "q=" part of the API.

Have I got that right??

Also side question - anyway to keep my game synced with IRL Time ❤

No the location you put whatever location. I’m not stealing ur ip address in this mod. If you are using the real life weather sync, you can sync with irl time using simple trainer.

This is a great plugin to use. Though, I've been experiencing some issues where the sky is green anywhere out of Los Santos (it immediately changed after I unloaded the plugin). I'm wondering if there's a solution to this.
