Simple Weather

Description
Simple Weather is an add-on for GMod that was formerly a paid mod and later released for free when it was discontinued by the original author, disseminate. This upload includes the base add-on & Disaster DLC packs, with a huge list of changes, improvements, and additions made by yours truly.

My goals for Simple Weather try their best to meet these specific criteria:
  • Full User Control - As little hard-coded bits as possible, and allow the user as much control over the mod as reasonable.
  • Run Light - Have the mod has as little performance impact as possible, and keep disk storage usage reasonably low.
  • Feature Rich - Have the mod use a "more with less" mentality, where it prioritizes quality over quantity.

Features
  • Day-Night Cycle, with optional real-time clock.
  • Random weather, with options to control frequency/duration/toggle.
  • Functionality for map input control (toggle street lights, etc.).
  • HUD that can show current time (in either 12H or 24H mode) and weather, with options to disable.
  • Options panels for quick changing of values and behavior in-game without map restarts.
  • Weather can control env_wind based on weather type.
  • Snowy weather can change map textures to look snowy.
  • Hazardous weathers can be controlled to change amount/frequency of damage, or disabled outright.
  • Presets for default, potato computers, and hardcore modes, with the ability to customize your own.
  • Emergency Alert System sounds that will play out of standard radio props when inclement weather starts - no special entities needed in your maps or your contraptions!
  • A myriad of other features you'll have to try for yourself, as I suck at descriptions.

Other Versions

The map used in the screenshots is RP_Flatgrass_Redux, which is my testbed for this mod & other mods. It supports SimpleWeather's map logic functions.

Is there any way to simple disable the day-night cycle and have it return to the map's default lighting without just pausing it?

[Simple Weather] lua/simpleweather/sv_daynight.lua:445: bad argument #1 to 'byte' (string expected, got nil)
1. byte - [C]:-1
2. DayNightThink - lua/simpleweather/sv_daynight.lua:445
3. fn - lua/simpleweather/sv_init.lua:265

Try disabling the weather sound and reenable it.
this is a great mod but only down side to this mod is sometimes the rain sound cuts off even when it's thunder I can still hear it but the rain sounds just cuts off I don't know others though but still great mod.

You already can and always have been able to disable that.

I hope they add an option to disable and enable day/night cycle it would make the mod 10000x times better

This addon is not simple, IT IS PERFECT

I unfortunately have no knowledge on how to fix these issues. I doubt we can find someone from the mod's playerbase to look into it either, sadly
