Winter (RedM)

Winter (RedM)

Winter for your RedM server: regional ground snow, snowfall up to a blizzard, dry winter vegetation, roadside snow banks, frozen lakes, snowballs, snowmen and winter clothes for ambient NPCs. Everything is set in config files.

Features

• Ground snow by region. Snow covers the map outside New Austin. The desert stays snow-free and blends into the snow through a smooth transition zone instead of a hard edge. Switch coverage with /winter 0-3 or in coverage_config.lua.
• Snowfall and blizzards. Snow always on, off or in random periods, intensity from 0 to 1 and any snow weather preset, from light snow to a blizzard. Control it with /ar16snow or from your scripts through the API: SetSnowEnabled, SetSnowIntensity, SetSnowWeather.
• Works with your weather. Standalone mode, or a handoff from your existing weather controller with SetBaseWeather. Winter does not set the server clock.
• NPCs in winter clothes. Ambient NPCs in the snow switch to coats, cloaks or shawls, winter hats, scarves and gloves from the game's own outfits. Every player sees the same NPC dressed the same way.
• Snowballs and snowmen. Press G to scoop a snowball and throw it. Build snowmen with /snowman.
• Frozen lakes and rivers. Pick the ice mode in ice_config.lua or with /ar16ice: lakes only (default), regional with the Lannahechee River and Bayou Nwa, all water, or no ice at all. Single lakes can be excluded.
• Snow banks and bootprints. Snow banks along the roads, with bootprints left on them.
• Winter vegetation. Dry brown grass, bushes and trees, including distant trees.
• Temperature API. A calculated cold value for your framework or survival scripts.

Setup

• Copy the ar16_winter folder into resources and add ensure ar16_winter to server.cfg.
• No other weather resource: put setr AR16_SNOW_WEATHER_MODE "standalone" before the ensure. With a weather controller, keep the default integration mode and hand the forecast over as the README shows.
• Admin commands need add_ace group.admin ar16snow.admin allow.
• Run only one season at a time: remove the other seasons' startup entries. Players fully close RedM and start it again after installing, updating or changing seasons.
