rain tweak

[haiducul]

How about making in game option a feature that can change rain probability for every country ? This way I can make rain in UK often which will be more realistic or drought in Spain and Greece ? Also you can make that hardcoded to be easier but I don't recommand it.

Who's with me ?

It is already in game. But not per country but per climate zones which covers few countries at least.

"climate zone" ? What climat zone ? It has an option just to fix how much is raining...in all the game. I think you are confusing TIME ZONE with ....climat zones. Go and look again in the gameplay options. Time zone shows the local hour, it has nothing to do with rain parameter.

Because the zones are set in the weather files and not in the game options, the game is already capable to set different "weather patterns" depending in what climate the country is in.

I think you dont understand what I've written. Those climate zones are stored in game files. If you want to edit them, you would have to make a small mod with them. And set to your own liking. Certain areas already receive more rain than others. You cant change them through game option

How do you know that those climate zones are stored in game files ? I never heard that in 12 years. If so, please tell me how those files are named to check them out. Thank you!

base/def/climate.sii has all that information.

I looked in it, some general facts, it says arid, cold and desert (with different rain percentages) but they are for the same general coordinates, nothing specific. That 7% default rain seen in Game Options appears in file leaving me more questions than answers. Where is defined in the file, where exactly is the arid zone (map coordinates), the desert one and the cold one ? There is no such thing there, just general things. Maybe they intent to use them as a guide for next development of the weather/rain system, for now they are useless. So I was right, there are no such climate zones. You leave the default 7% rain one and it will rain for how much "money you paid for" thing. Unless, of course , someone proves me wrong.

Because you won't find it in any file, it is in the map editor assigned to the map sector.

@haiducul Those climate zones are assign to map sectors as Carl said. If you want to see what exactly climate zone is in specific sector you would have to check every map sector manually and look in map editor settings which climate zone it shows. From my memory when I was checking this for my mod, Desert one is in south Spain, Arid is in all coastal of Mediterranean sea as well in Iberia, cold is in Nordic horizon dlc and rest of map uses default.
