Cold Rain v0.37 [Updated 09 Aug, 2023]

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Re: Cold Rain v0.1 for 1.40 [25 March 2021]

So i understand that can be tricky to get a balance between parameters, but i know it will worth it.
Yes, the appearance of the raindrops is somewhat complex, since I can increase their visibility with the "aux [0]" parameter, but this will only make the raindrops more visible, it will not make the raindrops show up better when there is a background black or white. The way to change this would be to modify the colors of the raindrops from the texture, but possibly this would make it look more like Realistic Rain, it would lose the feeling of blurriness and humidity. Besides, some textures of the raindrops are based on an old Mod by AlexeyP.
That is a big number out there :D Again we are restrained by game engine. Maybe one day, a new engine will come.
Yes, the number of raindrops is high, I have heard opinions of this Mod that many people liked, but they do not like not having visibility in the windows, ¿what do you think?

Reducing the number of drops in the windows in the tests I did I did not like, lost sensations... but I can do more tests and launch it as an optional addon if I achieve a decent result.
From what I read it can be seen that you put a lot of work and passion in research and testing.
Thank you, I have spent many hours with dozens of textures and tests in the Realistic Rain mod, my knowledge is not too high, but it is learned little by little if you put a lot of effort, and feedback helps improve. The rain texture of SCS has never liked me.

I understand. Yeah, if you do that,this mod will be like Realistic Rain. Will loose it's unique part.

In my opinion, both mods Realistic Rain and Cold Rain are great, the bad thing is that the graphic engine, doesent allow you to have both mods included in a single one file, like in real life. In someday you have a simple rain, in other day you have a less visible windshield due to bad raining. Too bad that those cannot be combined. In the end, it is up to each user to choose what rain he wants to have when he decides to play

I believe that you have many days of your life, spent for your community and that's why i appreciate you. You will succed in all. I also hope that SCS will improve in the future, textures like rain, vegetation, roads, etc.

Thanks, for the new mod I've been using your mods for a while now great work. Would it be possible to adjust the side windows a bit? For me it seems like in almost any of the raining scenarios the side windows I have to always roll the window down to see out or use the mirror.
