Patient Zero 1 Posted September 15, 2017 For a while our server has been using Atmos, but I have seen a lot of problems with it. Atmos can cause lighting glitches, severe lag and is just a big addon in general, so what I now present with you is StormFox. Like Atmos storm fox has dynamic day and night cycles, better frames and a lot more recent and up to date with the current state of Gmod, It's also a lot smaller for those who are pickier about space on their Pc/Desktop My only concern is the addon is in Beta at the moment and might be showing some signs of bugs and such, I kindly ask the admin team to test the mod out, as Atmos is seeming to behave as if it outdated and has trouble running the current state of Gmod.

postal_ech 0 Posted September 15, 2017 I suggested this shit to Knomad and Legion. I approve of this shit hard core dude, tried it out in single player and good god it's fucking great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emptybag 12 Posted September 15, 2017 We'll be looking into it, I've heard that it turns all shadows at night to a shade of purple. I also see if it can scale correctly to realistic time, i know there is a command but I dunno how accurate it is. It'll hit our testing server first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerghunter 10 Posted September 15, 2017 Looks pretty neat, We'll test it out when I get off work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emptybag 12 Posted September 16, 2017 Update, I have looked at it It's -really- nice, but I think it wisest to let this bake a little longer. While this has all these fancy bells and whistles I'm aware they are actively patching and updating this content, to the point where that shadows thing I mentioned was fixed like at the time I mentioned it. However, that being said, all the nice-eties and updated goodness fall short due to lack of user control. It definitely seems more finnicky in these earlier stages, not even on a server; in single player the weather commands don't necessarily like to listen, advancing to day requires a sped-up night cycle, and toggling rain/snow/wind/etc. effects require a total restart instead of being live switches. Obviously it's still a -very good- weathermod, but until it has a few more updates to address things of this nature (and maybe a tick box for realtime instead of a console command that may not even work correctly/persist after a restart), I think it's best to hold off for the time being. Again, this is only my personal opinion, but I think it'll be more work for us on our end currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
