I stumbled on this page, and it got me thinking. It is most likely old
as time, but is there a place that the owners of Grids or Regions can
vote or comment on these projects? I know it is a long way yet. I want
to vote for the :
Client Side Weather System
A client side based weather system would be a breath of fresh air to
those who enjoy more realism (Graphically). An overall Grid Weather
System could also be created, so that different parts of the grid will
be experiencing different forms of weather e.g 4+ Regions more to the
north of the Grid would be in the midst of a blizzard whilst several
sims further to the south are enjoying clear blue skys, but with an
onset of rain on the way. A Server could be set up in order to simulate
the overall GWS (Grid Weather System) and would shout to each region to
simulate a specified weather type. All the Client has to do is pick up
on the Information being sent to the region from the GWS and simulate it
on-screen for it's users. Obviously this feature can be turned on and
off at will, but it would be nice to not have to set up a particle
weather system that cause's more lag than necessary. - Darakon Kayvon
(Me again): I think this may be one of the more easy things to do.
Using wind light setting for the effects, The blizzard setting is great
for both blizzard conditions as well as heavy rain and storms. The fog
seting are there too. Windlight would play a great role in this. It
would be nice to atach it to a real life weather forecast somehow, like
a google weather check that you can set in the weather system settings.
At this time the way SL allows you to check the weather in a sim, don't
semto work here in opensim. The weather is always the same. This short
section set hover text to tell me how cloudy it is in SL, but always
stays clear in opensim. I hope someday this works too.
// CLOUDS
STRmessage = STRmessage +"\n";
float FLTcloud = llCloud(<0,0,0>);
string STRcloud = (string)FLTcloud;
STRcloud = llDeleteSubString(STRcloud, 4, 9);
//(clear, cloudy, very_cloudy, raining
if (FLTcloud > 1) {
STRmessage = STRmessage + "'Raining'";
} else if (FLTcloud > .66) {
STRmessage = STRmessage + "Very Cloudy";
} else if (FLTcloud > .33) {
STRmessage = STRmessage + "Cloudy";
} else {
STRmessage = STRmessage + "Clear";
}
STRmessage = STRmessage + " (" + STRcloud + ")";
// -----
STRmessage = STRmessage +"\n";
STRmessage = STRmessage + "-----";
hehe, can't wait for future opensim, it will be great.
your friend,
InuYasha
