Real Time Sync Reborn

WARNING : Delete the older version before updating this mod. Preserve your APPID.

INTRODUCTION:

Real Time Sync Reborn is, as its name says, a reborn of a mod originally developed for GTA IV which was intended to synchronize game time to system time. GTA IV version was pretty rudimentary since functions offered by GTA IV in terms of weather and forecast was pretty inexistent. Actually, I completely gave up after a lot of tries. That time is over folks!

Welcome to Real Time Sync Reborn!

Time synchronization between the game and your system
Weather synchronization between your city (can be set in a configuration file) and your game
Weather notifications every 10 minutes via the new notification system introduced in GTA V
An ingame menu to setup the mod (arrow keys to navigate, Enter to validate)
Crash prevention (because we don’t like when our game crashes)

What are the drawbacks?!

You need to sign up an account (IT’S FREE) on www.openweathermap.org to receive an APPID key in order to get your local weather forecast.

PREREQUISITES:

The latest version of Rage Plugin Hook
Requirements inherent to Rage Plugin Hook’s installation
An Openweathermap.org APPID (It’s free!)

INSTALLATION:

Spoiler

Put RealTimeSyncReborn.dll, RealTimeSyncReborn folder and its INI file into your Plugins folder

Open your INI file and modify it as you wish

USAGE:

Spoiler

Launch your game via the Rage Plugin Hook binary

Load your single player story (we don’t like players using mods online)

Press F4 to open your Rage Plugin Hook console

Type loadPlugin RealTimeSyncReborn.dll then press Enter!

Enjoy

KEY MAPPING:

Don't forget to read the README.pdf file to see what you can use as key name for your Menu key !

What's New in Version 1.1a

Released January 21, 20179 yr

Corrected a bug occurring when gathering updated version.
Corrected a bug occurring when gathering weather forecast of local region when APPID wasn’t set in the ini file. Now, the weather forecast notification doesn’t show up if you don’t set your APPID. You NEED to get an APPID on www.openweathermap.org (refer to the manual).
Added a line in the RagePluginHook console at start of RealTimeSyncReborn to monitor the online version found via the update checker process

Yeah, I know that... It's almost the same in south of France! Sunny, sunny, sunny... But wait... Do we really have to complain about this ? :tongue:

And you can set a different location in your config file! :thumbsup:

I know that. But i don't like using trainers and i'm sure i'm not the only one. By the way, the truth behind this mod is that it permitted me to get into GTA V modding. Furthermore, I prepare a new version in which you can configure which part of the mod you want to be active (Weather, Time, Both). So it will fit for the trainers users.

Yes ! And don't hesitate to report what's going on when the weather is subject to change alot !

I tried some cities like NY, some french cities (as i'm french) and London, and it seems to be satisfying... I set the transition to 25 seconds so the weather doesn't change from nothing to all in a second ^^

You can change it in your INI file. Set "UNITS" to Imperial ;)

I encourage you to read the README.pdf file next time ^^

The only issue I have with this is that the ini is not saving.

I have entered the App ID etc and start my game and it loads it fine but then it seems to reset itself back to France.

Can you send me your INI file content (without your APP ID) or show me the log from Rage Plugin Hook ?

When I test other cities, It works for me.

What about if it's snowing in real life? Will this make it snow ingame too? Or is snow not implemented? Or what about hail? :D

Snowing is implemented. Keep in mind that you will not have the snow on the ground... It will just have snow fall. There is no hail in the game. By default, it's replaced by snow falls ;)

All types of weather forecasts in Open Weathermap are mapped to the closest ingame weather condition :)
