Weather Configuration Guide

Important Notes
  • This configuration should be placed in your cfgweather.xml file.
  • The reset parameter loads weather from storage instead of this file.
  • The enable parameter determines if this configuration is active.
  • Rain and snow require minimum overcast thresholds to appear.
  • For Chernarus and Livonia, snowfall should usually remain at 0.
Weather Parameters
  • Overcast: Cloud coverage level that affects ambient light.
  • Fog: Visibility reduction and atmosphere density.
  • Rain: Precipitation requiring enough overcast.
  • Wind: Controls both strength and direction.
  • Snow: Usually reserved for winter maps or custom setups.
  • Storm: Controls lightning intensity and frequency.
Understanding Parameters
  • actual: Current target value for the parameter.
  • time: How long it takes to reach that target.
  • duration: How long the value remains stable.
  • min/max: Absolute allowed range.
  • timelimits: Allowed transition-time range.
  • changelimits: How much the value can move per cycle.
