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
