Complete Climate & Time System (CCTS)

Complete Climate & Time System (CCTS) Version: 1.2.2
By: ForeverZer0

Introduction

This script will give you TOTAL control of weather and time in your game. It will allow you to set up different climates that use different weather patterns, tints, sounds, and effects. It is also a complete Time System that gives you full control of, and keeps track of, time, with every possible configuration at your disposal. Note this script comes with a preset config that will be suitable for most's needs, but it can be configured to the most extreme level if so desired, which will require more work. It is not necessary to do this, but the ability is there.

Features

• Automatic weather control with defined types, frequency, probabilities, tints, and sounds for any and every map in your game.
• Weather tint and BGS will fade in/out smoothly with the weather for a very realistic feel
• Configurable screen tints for every climate, month, and hour that will smoothly transition over the course of each hour, not transition to day or night in matter of seconds.
• Completely configurable calendar system that can use custom names for days and months, custom month lengths, etc.
• Can easily use configurable switches and variables for event conditions based off the hour of the day, the season of the year, or the current weather.
• Comes with a clock that can be toggled on/off by the player, with custom location, opacity, and font name/size options.
• Also have option to use an analog clock.
• Complete control to freeze the time, screen tone, weather, or time speed, separately or together, with simple script calls.
• Comes with error checking and a debugger for easily testing your own customization, and to help understand the system.
• Short, simple script calls for easy manipulation
• Compatible with Zer0 Advanced Weather and MAWS (v.1.2 or higher)
• Much more!

Demo

Script

Here's the script.

Instructions

Place script below default scripts, and above "Main".

I have created an application to create the scripts as well. It will output the scripts, as well as allow you to use a Window's interface to make the configuration file. It will be much easier for to configure for those who are unsure of how to properly set up the script.
It can be downloaded here:

CCTS Configuration.exe (1.33 MB)

The configuration application requires that you have Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0 (22.96 MB) installed to work. Most users with modern PCs will likely have this on their systems already. If you need to download the framework, I would suggest that you download Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.0 (49.27 MB). It is a larger download, but offers the same features as 2.0 and much more.

See script for the big evil instructions if you choose not to use the configuration program.

Compatibility

High probability of issues with scripts that try to change the screen tinting and weather. This system will likely totally override any script that even thinks about it.

You know, this post grated on my nerves. For purely selfish reasons, I might add. I have, sitting on my hard drive, an old abandoned scripting project that did this, among other things. And here you post one like it. Great job, and congratulations, seriously. I've had several major failings as a scripter, most notably the inability to finish large projects. That said, I do have one thing that might prove of use to this project, as well as another that might prove of use to another project. I was looking through your code for this one, and I couldn't really find anything for a thunderstorm. So, I thought I might as well link you to my script, in case you wanted to incorporate it. That script is one I had been working on since the very beginning, and it's one of my favorites. If you incorporate it into this, feel free to change the license however you see fit, so long as credit is still given to me somewhere. If not, then that would be your decision.

The other piece of code that I have that might help you is a .dll file I made a few months ago, that emulates the default transition of RMXP with any image you throw at it. It isn't perfect, and I'll have to upload it tonight, but it could prove very useful to you, for your resolution kit.

I'll take a look through, and I thank you. I haven't really been scripting anymore, but I may make some exceptions to improve some current ones I already made.

Once again, thanks!
