So is their a good weather plugin....I remember back in the day this one that allowed seasonal weather changes. Maybe were you can have spring, summer, fall, and winter in one day. Any ideas?

This can be done the same way my MapSettings plugin works. You have to edit info_doddetect's keyvalue "detect_weather_type" - Rain is 1, Snow is 2. Only works for Dod this way but you get dod's weather.rnrnI've just now updated Dod MapSettings to include these weather settings.rnrnhttps://www.dodplugins.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1161

and it actually works?nncause in the past ive tried editing the entity of the bsp to make it rain/snow.. and it would only work if i had that file locally...nnlike if i put that edited bsp in my maps folder and started a lan.. it would work.. but if i uploaded it to my server and had the defualt bsp on my local drive.. the weather wouldnt work (nor would any other particles.. like for example i tried putting the red & green smoke grenades from switch [i think thats it] into avalanche but they did the same thing for me as the weather...)nnit was almost like it would read the particle related stuff locally no matter what..nnntho either way.. a sad thing is most ppl run cl_particlefx 0 (lol including myself) so they wouldnt see the dod weather anyways

Even if their was a way to have snow, rain, and clear day as a rotation like on a hour rotation or something...is that possible? This way maybe it would be cloudy and rain for a hour then start snowing for an hour, then get clear and sunny.

Using day of defeat's weather system that does not seem possible. Unless you somehow respawned the entity info_doddetect, but that seems out of possibility and would crash or something.

Is their a way then to change the weather when you want with your plugins such as amx_snow 1/0 or amx_rain 1/0? This way when a admin is on he can change weather conditions.
