cfgweather.xml explanation

Recommended Posts

Hello all,  I need help trying to figure out the setting in the weather.xml. I have been playing around with it for a month now and still don't 100% understand this file. I most I know is the weather reset="1" enable="1" pretty much sets this file to be used and after a reset it brings all values back to the initial conditions that I set. I need to know if the "time=120" is in minutes or seconds and what it actually affects, same with duration. also what Timelimits and Changelimits affect and do. Just need some help in understanding how this file works and runs so i can fine tune my server better. Just an FYI I am on console so I don't have the ability to modify the weather past this file.

I am 99% convinced the cfgweather.xml is broken. Not the file itself but the functionality. The weather will move steadily to whatever limits you have set for overcast, rain and fog and stay there. It might let up slightly but will move back. So if you set no limits a few hours after a reset the server will be at 100% wind, overcast, fog and rain and there it will stay.

So the only way to not have it rain constantly is to have no rain at all...
