DYNAMIC WEATHER MK V1.0.2 RELEASE (0.34.X)

This lua script adds dynamic weather to BeamNG!

It is not the most beautiful, but given the capabilities of the game engine (rain, fog, clouds), I think it is still good. It is still in beta testing and not fully completed, although the core functions are already working.

Current features:

- Weather phenomena: sunny, cloudy, light rain, rainy, stormy, fog, fog rain, dynamic wind affecting vehicles and landscapes/forests (if supported by the object)

- Wind gusts, arising from time to time randomly, frequency and strength depend on the weather

- Tornadoes that slowly chase the player and interact with physical objects (vehicles, concrete retaining wall, mattress, ...), only one can be active at a time

- Slippery roads during rain/snow (if the roads are made of terrain, does not work for nets, for example, bridges)

- Dynamic rain, clouds, fog, temperature and brightness

- User interface for weather, wind, tornado and road condition control (optional)

- Compatible with career mode and missions/scenarios

Starting from version 1.0 the user interface is called by the combination Ctrl + Alt + W!

How to use?

To enable dynamic weather on the map, press Alt + W. If you want to hide wind gusts and event notifications, press Ctrl + Alt + W. These keyboard shortcuts can be changed in the settings. A message should appear in the upper right corner of the screen when enabled. When you change the map, the script is automatically unloaded to avoid problems. You will need to manually re-enable it.

Tornadoes are not yet part of the overall weather, but need to be turned on or created manually. You can create a tornado next to your current vehicle using Alt + T. Random tornado appearance can be enabled in the user interface, but it is currently weather-independent. This will be improved in a future update. Only one tornado can be active at a time.

If you want a specific weather event to occur, you can use the user interface that is displayed when the main menu (Esc) is active. You can also use it to control road conditions, wind speed, tornadoes, time between random weather events and switching between snow and rain. Alternatively, you can also use the console commands documented in the discussion thread.

In version 1.0.2:

- Fixed an error with the weather tornado, because of which it did not work correctly when changing to rainy / storm
