Atmospheric time based Fog.

[plush shuttle]

this looks nice (i like the god rays)

[grave lily]

Hi there… I Like your god Rays at day time but at Night with the Moon shining it Looks a Bit odd

[tired gyro]

Did some tweaks, hopefully its better

[daring acorn]

I love any mod that adds atmosphere/immersion. Nice work

[short lantern]

Hello i have a question does this make performance worse?

[crisp pelican]

who needs performance when you can have realism (I haven’t had any performance issues though)

[sour quest]

How does this fare on Xbox series S? Anyone know?

[tacit wagon]

quick comparison with vanilla left and GAE right

love that your overcast is actually dark, 1.6 overcast is absurdly bright

[woven wind]

Moon is crazy bright

[sage obsidian]

So glad I found this mod! Looks great 🫡

[harsh pilot]

So does it replace fog glowing through the trees like there were no trees at all with these realistic god rays between trees? 👀

Is it compatible with Atmospheric Weather mod?

E.g. would it remove morning fog by afternoon?🙂

[tired gyro]

It shouldn't...

[tired gyro]

Nope...

[tired gyro]

It doesn't... it should make it less dense but doesn't remove it

[jovial grotto]

amazing mod man

[harsh pilot]

Is it because fog can't be removed completely or because you want it that way?

[harsh pilot]

Does it override it or will it crash with it? I just wanted the weather selection menu + god rays 😀

[sour quest]

Could try loading it up in sp

[tired gyro]

Ive seen situations were the mod works for 5 minutes and then reverts to normal weather, others that doesn't work properly

[tired gyro]

It was intended, the fog tends to linger on the costal regions to give that damp sea feel

[tired gyro]

Yeah, can't seem to fix it... if i adjust the curves to lessen the effect over that period it just removes the effect altogether

[tired gyro]

Update : new rainy weather

[harsh pilot]

More god rays photos please

[tired gyro]

When the sun hits just right... light rays pierce through the misty rain, creating a stunning contrast.

[grave lily]

This isn’t arma right? That looks stunning

[tired gyro]

it is

[tacit wagon]

it's a cool effect, i think the gaps in the clouds should be smaller because if there's a large gap with the sun shining straight through the HDR goes nuts and it looks like one small part of the map is daytime surrounded by nighttime

[open wigeon]

I thought it was a flare.😅

[tired gyro]

I'll see what i can do

[unkempt magnet]

I kind of thought this was rdr2 for a second

[tired gyro]

Should be better now

[open wigeon]

a little better

[tacit wagon]

hmm i think introducing sun shining through when it's this dark is not going to work with the game's HDR. other weather mods have done a light rain with mild/sparse clouds and that works fine with sun but i think the HDR is going to fight you on this

[snow wren]

Ts beautiful

[tired gyro]

yeah... i think the state that it is right now is good enough for the time being, at least for my tastes.

[echo drum]

@tired gyro is this compatible with the desert one as well.

also nice pfp lol

[tired gyro]

Nope

[real harness]

Using it on my server and its been great so far

[meager nacelle]

any noticeable impact on performance?

[white fossil]

We run it on our servers and hadn’t noticed any performance drops

[meager nacelle]

sick, thank you brother

[real harness]

Honestly, no performance impact
Was sitting at 60 fps steady with like +100 mods and Freedom fighters running on everon and now its at 59fps

[white fossil]

Yeah not sure what magic allows no fps drop while making the game look 10x better but I am not complaining one bit lol

[meager nacelle]

I'm on a low end pc with everything on the lowest but anything for the eye candy

I feel like the lighting in this game is a bit off so this looks sick

[wheat veldt]

Run on my own server and it runs flawlessly. It's like the mod doesn't exist. XD

[tired gyro]

They have a good weather engine... they just chose to do nothing with it

Theres more that could be done by the looks of it... but the stuff is hella undocumented

[tired gyro]

UPDATE

• Added " Thunder " weather state ( thanks Nishkov for the suggestion )

Rainy weather can now escalate into thunderstorms. It features similar visuals but with the addition of occasional lightning strikes.

Hotfix *I guess *

• Thunderstorms now feature more dramatic visuals... meaning denser rain and fog, plus stronger wind effects. As illustrated above.

[tired gyro]

Rainy

Thunderstorm

[snow wren]

Where lightning

[harsh pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-god-of-thunder-mjolnir-storm-breaker-axe-gif-14058641

Would be fun if a random lightning could hit into a vehicle or a building

[obtuse blade]

Very cool work so far! Thank you. Only thing which i think is a little off, is when it is rainy and gaps are in the clouds. Like it was described before. It still looks like nighttime with flares to me.

[karmic schooner]

Love the mod tho I feel it’s a bit too dark when cloudy

[unkempt magnet]

Exactly, that’s what I kinda thought

[tired gyro]

Before

After

[harsh pilot]

No god rays 🙁

[tired gyro]

Toned them down a tad in the Sunny weather

[harsh pilot]

But why? Isn't that the kill feature of the mod?

Without them fog looks off

[tired gyro]

They are still present, just a bit more subtle in the sunny weather, since i cant adjust their intensity over time

But thats only for Sunny weather...

Here's a good example. They're still there

[tired gyro]

I think i found a solution....

UPDATE

• Hopefully fixed the 'flare' effect during rainy weather.

[tired gyro]

Updated it, found a solution for that Flare effect, should be better now

[opal yew]

The mod doesn't shop in the workshop when searching for it, any idea how to fix?

[slim vault]

Im not sure if it is an expierimental mod but go to filters and down to the bottom and check experimental

[opal yew]

I enabled all the stuff, found a solution
Had to search the modID directly to find it

[slim vault]

Ah okie dokie 🤠👍

[opal yew]

Thanks for the help though, good shout cowboy man

[tired gyro]

👀

[harsh pilot]

So god rays are only visible when you look at the sun?

[grave lily]

I assume the moonlight Bug isnt fixable?

[tired gyro]

Yup, they are what's called screen-space sun shafts.
The sun needs to be on your screen for them to appear.

[harsh pilot]

Ah damn 🙁

[tired gyro]

I'm trying, but it seems that with the current tools, no

[grave lily]

Damm…I love your mod on daytime… but at night it is Not playable with the Moon always shining like the sun

[tired gyro]

NEW UPDATE

• Foggy weather

Patch

• Added missing wind effects for Foggy weather. The fog now changes color based on the time of day.

[slim vault]

I haven't tested this mod yet but id imagine just going into the time and day tab in GM and turning off the moon would fix this for now

[grave lily]

You cant Turn the Moon off…or am i wrong?

[slim vault]

I always to do make it darker when im playing on my server with friends 🤷‍♂️

[tired gyro]

Blue hour vs Purple-ish hour

[slim vault]

Thats very nice

[desert dune]

Can this mod be used among your desert one?

[tired gyro]

nope

Heres the new sunrises and sunsets

[desert dune]

Does this mod alter the overall night time lighting like the desert one? Because I love the effects that the desert effect brings but sadly night time its very very dark... this one acts differently?

[tired gyro]

nightime stays untouched

[desert dune]

how you turn it off?

[desert dune]

thunderstorm at night with full moon looks like this , only the thunderstorm

is it supposed to be this dark ?

[ocean hull]

This is miles ahead of my mods custom weather/lightning system.

I have to say this is Top Notch work !

[obtuse blade]

Light coming through in rain looking really good now! Thanks!

[slim vault]

nice

[tired gyro]

I was on firewatch yesterday and took the time to observe the sunrise. I noticed that, at least where I live, it isn't a vivid orange, but more of a yellowish tone.

[tired gyro]

It's a byproduct of how intense the clouds and fog are

[snow wren]

This is so gae I love it

[tired gyro]

Update

• The G.A.E is no more, long live G.AT.E

[wraith cobalt]

I shall miss G.A.E, although now it sounds like we're invading a fantasy world
(I pray someone gets this joke)

[real harness]

Made a joke so funny that he changed the name 😂

[obtuse blade]

I have the feeling that the water became really greenish in ponds and rivers and looks from time to time to bright. Does someone else got this feeling?

[meager nacelle]

I personally do not

[tired gyro]

The color is the same as vanilla...

[obtuse blade]

yeah, its mostly for me in rainy conditions, but might be just a subjective thing.

[echo drum]

Are the saturated and desaturated mods compatible with the main mods @tired gyro

[tired gyro]

Yes

[obtuse blade]

Hi, would like to ask if you could make version of the mod without the god rays? I mean i really like them in daylight condition, but had a fight at night, when i had to walk towards the rays caused by the moon and this was just not fun. As far as i read everything here it is not possible to make it configurable within the menu, or? I mean to enable or disable the rays? I really like the lightning of your mod, so living without the god rays would still be much better than the vanilla weather.

[slim vault]

You can disable the moon in the GM settings.

[obtuse blade]

Oh ok, so do i have GM access when i start a game as normal scenario?

[slim vault]

Uhh like conflict?

Im not sure how that actually works, i know you can in conflict i just dunno how.

[obtuse blade]

Yeah, like conflict or another mission. No problem, i can self host and this way i will get GM.

[slim vault]

Im pretty sure in multiplayer conflict you can get an admin pass word and type it in chat which gives you game master

[bitter thorn]

@tired gyro Hello ! I have a question , do you know how in the world editor i can twitch a lightning stike so it strike often/regularly strike the same places by itslef ?!

[tired gyro]

nope

[bitter thorn]

ok thanks

[meager nacelle]

are the changelogs anything worth noting

[tepid comet]

Two F4's throwing missiles and a gun run at dragons, hell yea. I gotchu. XD

[wraith cobalt]

Hell yeah didn't think anyone would get it
