The Script

Code:

#  ccoa's weather script
#
#  Weather Types:
#    1 - rain
#    2 - storm
#    3 - snow
#    4 - hail
#    5 - rain with thunder and lightning
#    6 - falling leaves (autumn)
#    7 - blowing leaves (autumn)
#    8 - swirling leaves (autumn)
#    9 - falling leaves (green)
#   10 - cherry blossom (sakura) petals
#   11 - rose petals
#   12 - feathers
#   13 - blood rain
#   14 - sparkles
#   15 - user defined
#   16 - blowing snow
#   17 - meteor shower
#   18 - falling ash
#   19 - bubbles
#   20 - bubbles 2
#   21 - sparkles up
#
#  Weather Power:
#    An integer from 0-50.  0 = no weather, 50 = 500 sprites
#
#  Transition:
#    The number of frames to "transition" the weather in
#
#  Usage:
#    Create a call script with the following:
#       $game_screen.weather(type, power, transition)
#
#  Usage of user-defined weather:
#    Look at the following globals:

$WEATHER_UPDATE = false   # the $WEATHER_IMAGES array has changed, please update
$WEATHER_IMAGES = []      # the array of picture names to use
$WEATHER_X = 0            # the number of pixels the image should move horizontally (positive = right, negative = left)
$WEATHER_Y = 0            # the number of pizels the image should move vertically (positive = down, negative = up)
$WEATHER_FADE = 0         # how much the image should fade each update (0 = no fade, 255 = fade instantly)
$WEATHER_ANIMATED = false # whether or not the image should cycle through all the images

General:

Originally made for Scriptkitty, because the default weather effects are too sparse and uninteresting.

Weather Types:

#    1 - rain
#    2 - storm
#    3 - snow
#    4 - hail
#    5 - rain with thunder and lightning
#    6 - falling leaves (autumn)
#    7 - blowing leaves (autumn)
#    8 - swirling leaves (autumn)
#    9 - falling leaves (green)
#  10 - cherry blossom (sakura) petals
#  11 - rose petals
#  12 - feathers
#  13 - blood rain
#  14 - sparkles
#  15 - user defined
#  16 - blowing snow
#  17 - meteor shower
#  18 - falling ash
#  19 - bubbles
#  20 - bubbles 2
#  21 - sparkles up

Instructions:

You can start and stop weather using the original event commands, however, you can start stronger and more varied weather using:

Code:

$game_screen.weather(type, strength, duration)

Where type is the type of weather (see above), strength is how strong it should be (a number between 1 and 50), and duration is how many frames it should take to transition in.

User-defined weather user images imported to the pictures folder.  The controls are:

$WEATHER_UPDATE = false  - change this one any time you're about to use user-defined weather

$WEATHER_IMAGES = [name, name, ...]  - a list of the names of the images, separated by commas.

$WEATHER_X = 0  - the number of pixels the image should move horizontally (positive = right, negative = left)

$WEATHER_Y = 0  - the number of pizels the image should move vertically (positive = down, negative = up)

$WEATHER_FADE = 0    - how much the image should fade each update (0 = no fade, 255 = fade instantly)

$WEATHER_ANIMATED = true (or false) - whether or not each sprite in the weather should cycle between all the available images.


An explanation of user-defined weather:

$WEATHER_IMAGES - The names of the images you want to use as weather images, minus the file extensions. They should be imported as Pictures.

For example:

Code:

$WEATHER_UPDATE = true
$WEATHER_IMAGES = ["rock1", "rock2", "rock3"]

The $WEATHER_UPDATE flag tells the script that the images array has changed. You only need to set it to true if you've changed this array.

$WEATHER_X and $WEATHER_Y - the number of pixels to move the image in the x & y directions each update. For example:

Code:

$WEATHER_X = -10

Will move the image fairly fast straight up.

Code:

$WEATHER_Y = 1

Will move the image slowly to the right.

Code:

$WEATHER_X = 2
$WEATHER_Y = -1

Will move the image to the lower left.


By default, both x and y movement are 0, or no movement.

$WEATHER_FADE - this is whether or not and how much you want the image to fade out. 0 is no fade, 255 is instant fade. You may need to play with this - what looks right depends on how fast your weather image is moving. By default, this is set to 0, or no fade.

$WEATHER_ANIMATED - this flag tells the script that each weather effect should cycle through all the images (see the sparkle effect for a demo of what this looks like). Just set it to true if you want to use it:

Code:

$WEATHER_ANIMATED = true

Where might I find the VX version?

Where might I find the VX version?

I don't believe CCOA made a VX version and seeing how she has been absent from the RM community for some months now, I doubt any will be made.

Actually, she did. It only required subtle changes to the original version to work with RPGMaker VX. They are nearly the same.

Whoops! I looked and couldn't find one. Any idea where it is?

Removed from RRR Revolution due to iEntry's vague legal terms for post content ownership.

[muffin1232]

So there is no chance it will be posted here? :(

[Alpha-Mad]

I found it but stand-by for the link. I may have to re-upload it to a new file service.

[DerVVulfman]

Not here. Separate post for separate VX version with the other features (If I don't beat you first)

[muffin1232]

Wow, i found it the vx version! But it isn't on this site, thanks for ure help anyway
