Aequinoctium - Weather and Seasons

Author: Arindel

A soft, fantasy/realistic hybrid weather overhaul, including seasonal weather, shorter winter weather and indoor rain sounds. Aequinoctium strongly emphasizes that each season's visuals have its own look and feel, making the experience fresh every season.

A complete rework of weather

seasonal weather

Each season has its own weather and its own look and feel

dark night

Random chance. No two winters are the same

shorter days in winter

Indoor rain/thunder

extra thunder

Improved character lighting.

A book of styling, tone mapping, and seasonal options that allow you to customize your experience, as detailed below:

style:

  • default
  • Rustic: Reduces bloom to almost zero and slightly reduces color saturation.
  • Reduce Bloom: Similar to default, but less bloom.
  • Vibrant: Similar to Bloom Reduction, but with more saturated colors.
  • Fade: Like default, but less colorful.
  • Warmth: overall warmth.
  • Cold: Overall it looks cold.
  • Old age: dark, ominous, and desolate.

Tone mapping:

  • Filmic: Default option. Take advantage of hidden in-game settings to increase contrast and brightness. Blacks are better, especially at night.
  • Filmic Enhanced: More contrast compared to Filmic option.
  • Filmic Low-Contrast: Low contrast for a softer, more pleasing look.
  • Indoor [On/Off]: By default, Filmic Tonemapping only affects the outdoors, but using this option allows Filmic to affect the indoors as well.

season:

  • Dynamic: Default option, seasonal weather.
  • Variety: Disable seasonal weather, instead spring, summer and autumn weather will always play regardless of the season. Winter weather is not used because they have shorter days.
  • Spring: Spring weather only.
  • Summer: Only plays summer weather.
  • Autumn: Plays only autumn weather.
  • Winter: Only plays winter weather.

About the season

----------------------------------

Each season has a specific set of weather, and each set has a different appearance to create a specific atmosphere that matches the season.

Spring - This is the most balanced color, looks the most natural and has a chance of balancing the weather. It may or may not snow.

Summer - Summer is hot and the warm sunshine reflects this. Heavy rains continue into the first month of autumn, but their frequency is based on a random chance. Except in the snow, it doesn't snow at all.

Autumn - In autumn, you will experience more fear, as if everything is depressing. Overcast clouds and rain will occur more frequently. Snow is a possibility.

Winter - Winter is coming, they would say. The weather is looking more active than fall, but colder. The snow is starting to fall and the days are getting shorter.

What does random chance mean?

At the beginning of each month, the opportunity to change the weather via script. For example, in September, chances of heavy rain can range from 0% to 25%. This means the storm never happens. However, there may be some heavy rains in September next year.

There are also things more like this, like snow in the spring or rainy or rainy weather in the fall.

Will this provide snow cover or tree changes based on the season?

Unfortunately, no. I'm not sure if it's possible, but if it is, I don't have the experience to do it.

How do seasons work?

Opportunity to change each weather based on month via script. It's a simple concept.

To minimize the impact on performance, the script is only triggered in 3 ways. On loading game, player sleeps and hidden player abilities, trigger script when month changes.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
