StormFox 2

Description
Version: 2.57

StormFox 2 is the successor to StormFox applying weather, light and effects to the map.
SF2 is created with a focus on asynchronization, letting clients handle the effects.

Warning! This will not work with StormFox 1.

Features:
  • Complete rewrite of the original code.
  • Day/ Night cycle.
  • Rain, fog, thunder, wind and other effects.
  • Dynamic clouds
  • Dynamic weather generation.
  • Environment sounds. E.g. calm rain hiting the window.
  • Snow texture replacement. Grass, dirt and roads will be covered in snow.
  • CAMI support for most adminmods.
  • OpenWeatherMap API support.
  • Wiremod support (including E2 support).
  • New water / window effects.
  • Mjolnir Gun: A gun that shoots lightning.
  • vFire mod support.
  • And many more features..
Supports existing map day/night-effects

(Map is: rp_industrial17_beta9)

New window and water effects


Settings and options
  • To open the clientsettings, you can find it in the context menu (C - menu), or type "stormfox2_menu" in the console
  • To open the controller, you can find it in the context menu (C - menu), or type "stormfox2_controller" in the console.
  • To open the serversettings, you click the cog symbol in the controller, or type "stormfox2_svmenu" in the console.

FAQ and Common problems
  • It lags when the light changes!
    The map you're playing on most likely doesn't support light_enviroment. Disable extra lightsupport or choose another map.
    You can check this in serversettings
  • I can't open server-settings, controller or use commands!
    You don't have access. Check your installed adminmod.
  • Rain and other effects lag!
    Increase the FPS to what you feel comfortable with in the clientsettings.

  • I don't see rain or particle effects!
    You have to decrease your FPS-setting. Try 40.
  • How do I change weather?
    Open the controller, select the weather-% you want and then click on the weather-icon.
  • How do I make it snow?
    Rain + Cold = Snow
  • Does SF1 addons work with SF2?
    Not unless the creator has updated their mod.
  • Will SF1 addons cause errors with SF2?
    Highly unlikely.

Requirements
  • DirectX 9c ( Most GPUs past 2007 supports this )
  • For best enjoyment, a map with light_enviroment support.

Do not reupload SF2 content!

please make the disable function actually work, even when disabled + persistence it refuses to disable anythign beyond weather effects, all lighting is broken or pitch black on daytime maps or other maps not built for day/night cycle / SF support.

when under a prop, all the weather effects go away, how can I disable this?

FYI to the people lagging, just turn off moon phases as for some reason it uses a bit of processing power.
If you still lag pretty bad, start looking into a new system. Older systems do not run many things as well as they used to.

I kinda wish time could stay persistent through ks like the hl2 campaign levels

PLEASE make a version that doesnt mess with the time, Just the weather. Maps dont look right.

Hey! So this used to work but not anymore unfortunately for me. No precipitation or fog will fall, it will only appear on windows and such. Whats going on?

broken af, makes my game almost entirely pitch black no matter, setting it to always day does nothing, and it refuses to let me disable it clientside as well
Templar Jon, make sure you're not in some TV World, just saying

For some reason, when I have fog enabled, it is orange. Any reason for this?
