StormFox 2

Description
Version: 2.53

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!

You can disable the storm aspect of it but not the time aspect? Also, the with stormfox enabled in game, it just makes the sky really brighter vs default. (at daytime of course)

Are the content files on a custom FastDL server run by yourself, or are you using resource.AddWorkshop?

For some reason, the StormFox 2 materials are taking a long time to auto-download when I join my server.
