Because the weather is related to the nodes around you this mod will not work right with ethereal

[philipbenr]

Provided it works fully, then +100. I have been looking for something like this for a long time.

[Don]

Still have a few issues. Weather is still laggy. No one has come up with a solution for this yet. Besides that I don't know of any issues. Please report3any issues and I will try to fix them.

[philipbenr]

Cool, will do.

Keep up the good work, Don.

If i will add nodes from ethereal to mymonths it will work right? Maybe reasonable rain fall for all nodes except snow? Because roads, buildings etc don't have rain now. Or use not nodes but biomes for rain and snow?

I just did some testing with Ethereal. The rain seems to work but is really laggy. Weather is laggy on it's own but with Ethereal it is worse. Not much I can do about that. It is an issue with particles.

The rain will work in most biomes of Ethereal. If you want to change the snow/jungle/desert biomes then open weather.lua and add nodes to lines 125 - 127.

You could also try adjusting the particles code for rain to see if you can make it work better. I played with it a bit but could not get it much better. Rain particle code is in weather.lua lines 221 - 229.

@philipbenr - Thanks

There is rain inside a house ( It rains 10-15 secons after going inside the home )

And can u make rain more rare because the weather is rainy more then sunny.
or can you add options to settings.txt to set
1- how rare rain should be
2- how long should it lasts.

[Don]

The rain inside is usually because of lag.

I am planning on changing the amount of rain. I have been busy and haven't had time yet. I hope to do it soon.

I've added initial support for the thirsty mod, I think I have it set right, you should get thirstier in the summer months and less in the winter months, of course this will only happen if you are using the thirsty mod. I haven't tested it in a multi-player environment yet so it may not work on a server.

[benrob0329]

@Nathan But you need equally as much water when it's cold as it is when it's hot. Getting less thirsty in the spring and fall would be more realistic.

[Nathan.S]

@Benrob0329, right now the levels are probably set to levels that won't even be noticeable, so I need to tweak them more yet.
I'd think that realistically speaking the amount of water you need to drink is more dependent on what you do than seasons of the year and temperature, though of course if it is hot and you are sweating it will be necessary to replenish that water.
I'm waiting to hear back on how the thirst_factor from the thirsty mod works and will be updating the values when I hear on that. I wanted this feature more for my survive subgame but thought if I was going to code it I may as well contribute to the upstream source.

[Don]

@ Nathan - Like what you did with thirst. +1
You could also check the time of day and require less water at night.

@ Benrod0329 - People usually require more water in warmer weather because they loose more through perspiration.

[Nathan.S]

I suppose I could do that, though if people are playing singleplayer and use a bed to pass the night the thirst wouldn't be effected anyway.
Using the current code can't change the thirst from night to day, but I could try to add some type of multiplier code so the thirst factor is a little lower during night time hours.


Completely off topic, would anybody be interested in having flowers, grass, and mushrooms disappear for the fall and winter months? It would of course be a configurable effect. I was looking at the code for flowers and it looks like they have an ABM that controls their growth/spreading, after the they get placed as mapgen decorations so they should grow back. I do have to do a little testing to see when/how fast they grow back but I think it should work.

I will be adding support for the aspen trees as soon as I get a chance, they are in the daily builds, and will be in the next stable. I still want to get support for moretrees and valleys_mapgen. Actually with that being added in as a C++ mapgen I don't know if all the trees it adds will be added to default or not, I guess time will tell.

[Nathan.S]

I am 95% sure that the integration with the thirst mod should be working for multiplayer.
If you have the thirsty mod enabled mymonths will automagically make players thirstier in the summer, and less thirsty in the winter. The thirst factor is set every morning so a player that connects will have the first day at default thirst levels. I don't know if there is anything that could be done to change their thirst factor upon joining, and furthermore I don't know if it would even be worth the trouble of coding as the changes aren't that drastic.

[Nathan.S]

Well as it turns out the thirst integration I did crashed the game on singleplayer, and doubtless multiplayer too, so I've removed that for the time being.

I did add flowers dying in the fall/winter and growing in the spring, by default it is turned on, but can be turned off in the init.lua file with the rest of the settings.

[amadin]

Can players on public server see the same weather in one place (rain, snow) if raining only for non-snow areas and snow fall only for snow areas?

[Don]

The players will see the same weather.

1. Presently, in the git version of MyMonths, if the month is set to December, leaves don't change to sticks. Instead, CONTENT_IGNORE error messages are printed.

This happens due to inconsistent naming of "sticks" nodes. To correct the problem, edit the file "leaves.lua" and do a global replace to change "stick_" to "sticks_" everywhere. Be sure to include the underscore in both strings.

The result is our picks for a fix that makes sticks right quicks. For the results, see the screenshot below.

2. As a separate issue, the following line in "init.lua" is presently outdated:

minetest.register_alias("mymonths:leaves_sticks", "default:leaves")

It should probably be replaced with the following two lines:

minetest.register_alias("mymonths:sticks_aspen", "default:leaves")
minetest.register_alias("mymonths:sticks_default", "default:leaves")

This assumes that the change in point #1 has been made.

[Nathan.S]

Fixed and pushed.
Thanks for the heads up.

[Don]

I just pushed a fix for that.Thank you for reporting the error.

[KCoombes]

Worse now - no error message, just crash to desktop with "Minetest engine has stopped working"

That's all she wrote...

[Don]

I can not replicate it.
What version of Minetest? Also can you tell me the day and month?

Edit - I just found and fixed an error.

[KCoombes]

9am on December 1 :P that works!

[Don]

9am on December 1 :P that works!

I realized I had a line of code in there that I should have taken out with the last changes.

Thanks for reporting the problem. It helps to have feed back like this.

[KCoombes]

Thanks for all your hard work - I have a ton of your excellent mods and am thrilled to add this one!

[Don]

Thanks for all your hard work - I have a ton of your excellent mods and am thrilled to add this one!

Nathan and I have put a lot of work into it and continue to try to make it better.
I am glad you like it.

[MineYoshi]

This mod is very great and cool , after all everything that you do Don is very good!

[Don]

Thanks MineYoshi. Thank Nathan too. He was a big part of this mod.

You could add the equinox, An equinox is an astronomical event in which the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September. (i think you know!)

Info Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox

I give the idea, because that is a little detail, but makes a more like real month cycle!
