Random Weather Generator
Current Version: 3.0
Introduction
This is my Random Weather Generator that I built for Leknaat's Rhapsodia Village. The script is used to create random weather effects that fade in and out like real weather. In other words, after a few minutes, it may begin to rain. Then after an other minute, it may hail. And then it may grow into a thunder storm. Then the weather will slowly die down into soft rain, and eventually clear weather.
Features
Not many, yet. More planned for later.
Future Feature//Regionalized Weather//Types
EDIT: This feature will work by placing [r] in Event 001 on any map, where r is the region type on that map.
Screenshots
No point. This system doesn't have any means of displaying other than weather you have all probably already seen...
Demo
I will post a demo when I have more scripts to put into it.
Script
Instructions
Easy as pie. All you have to do is paste the script above Main. Here is how to use Memorize and Restore:
FAQ
Q: What does Random mean?
A: ... ... ...
Q: Which Weather Effects does this have?
A: Every one of Ccoa's Weather Script weather effects!
Q: How do I...?
A: How do you what?
Compatibility
I know it works with f0tz!baerchen's AntiLag script, but that's all I have tested it with. You MUST have Ccoa's Weather Script to make this work!
RandWeather only alters Scene_Map's initialize and update methods, and gives it new methods. It also changes Game_Screen's initialize and adds the method power?.
Credits and Thanks
Credit me, Ccoa, and if you so feel the need, SephirothSpawn, who I indirectly got my Event Checking code snipets from!
Author's Notes
Next Release: Already Out!
New Features: Above if I mentioned them!
I am taking requests for add ons, clean ups, whatever! But be polite and patient. I may not accept to do any if I so wish.
Future/Planned Features:
1. Screen Tinting based on weather (clear weather = normal, sunny = bright, rainy = dark, etc.)
2. possible use of fogs (overlapping Map Fogs if possible!)
3. Easily add new Random Weather Effects (Blood Rain, anyone?)
4. Regionalized Weather ('Forest' = RAIN, 'Desert' = Sand Storm, etc.) COMPLETE
5. Weather Fade into other weather at command call. For example, Rain can turn to now by using Scene_Map.fade_to('Rain', 'Snow'). Something along these lines.
Peace!

Features

- Random Effects
- Memorize and Restore Weather
- Turn RandWeather ON or OFF with a simple Call Script
Future Feature//Regionalized Weather//Types
EDIT: This feature will work by placing [r] in Event 001 on any map, where r is the region type on that map.
- ALL -- Every Effect!
- PLAIN -- Rain, Hail, Storm, and Rain w/Th&Li
- FOREST -- Rain, Hail, Storm, Rain w/Th&Li, and All of the Leef Effects (except Sakura...)
- DESERT -- Falling Ash (sorry, but it is all I can do with what I have right now!)
- ARCTIC -- Snow and Blowing Snow
- OCEAN -- See PLAINS. I didn't realize this until now, but PLAINS and OCEAN are the same!
