If you are like me, you are probably loading the same savegame every time, which means you'll always have the same weather and time (and the default GTA V weather cycle is very slow).

One way to have some variety is using a trainer to change this, but for me it felt like cheating, as I was choosing what I want.

 

That's why I wrote a small script to set random weather and time on startup ... and then added a few more features.

 

Feature list:

• Random weather on start
  • List of available weather types configurable
• Random date/time on start
  • Completely random or configurable times
• Weather forecast
  • Can be enabled/disabled
• Weather events (short rain showers or thunderstorms, optionally also snow)
  • Partially configurable
    • enable/disable
    • min/max time between events
    • allow/disallow snow
  • Consists of 4 stages with custom transition speed (based on wind speed)
    1. Preparation (set random wind speed, show weather alert)
    2. Intro (transition to overcast)
    3. Event (transition to event weather)
    4. Outro (transition to exit weather, schedule next event)

 

Requirements:

• Community Script Hook V .NET

 

Installation:

• Copy both the .dll and .ini file from the zip file into your scripts folder
• Open the .ini file with a text editor and set everything to your liking

 

Notes/Know issues:

• Initial welcome message and weather forecast not showing, when LSPDFR is automatically loading on start
• If you have any issues, please check the RandomWeatherAndTime.log from your GTA V main folder and attach it if there are any errors

 

 

I'm release this as a beta now, because I'm back to work since today and will have less time to test everything. Any feedback is very welcome!

Hi....downloaded this last night, seems to be very well made, with no signs of bugs or crashes so far. Has a variety of weather systems that come and go throughout, as well as regular updates through 'Life Invader', which I thought was really good, almost like a weather bulletin. Only thing to say is weather seems to be more raining and storms that anything else, but admittedly have only tried this mod twice so far, so will continue using and see how it goes. 

Hi, the script was working fine until the last gta V update. Here is the contents of my .log file if that helps.
Thanks in advance.

I've been using this script for a long time and really enjoy it however around a week ago I began to suffer heavy performance loss (on a high end system) and spent several days trying to find the culprit. I finally discovered today that it was this script causing the problem and have been forced to remove it. Are there any further updates planned for it?

 

This was my most recent log before it was removed:

Random Weather and Time when i turned it on RealDate = true, RandomDate = false.

 

w System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.GetDaysInMonth(Int32 year, Int32 month, Int32 era)
   w GTA.World.get_CurrentDate()
   w Randomize.Weather.ScheduleNextEvent()
   w Randomize.RandomWeatherAndTime..ctor()

Amazing MOD. thanks

I use real time so a day is actually a full day. How will this program affect or be affected by that?

@Bogi

Works fine, however there should be an option to set weather chances. I like a bit rain but thats more than in UK...

And maybe a smoother transition, the weather changes are from one moment to the other, it´s a bit weird.

And you got a funny location (Austria/Germany) 😂
