Weathermod is a mod based on the gimmick of Touhou project 10.5/12.3, reproducing the weather system of those games but on a kart racer.

Each weather has a different effect, the weather changes when the active effect stop or when a player get hit by orbinaut/jaws, blown up or squished

list of weathers:
1. Sunny | Players got increased speed
2. Snowy | Players had ice physics
3. Earthquake | Grounded items will bounce off the ground
4. Lunar | Gravity is lower for Players
5. Dimension | Players get their size increased
6. Typhoon | Players get permanent flashtics, hazards and items won't hurt them
7. Windy | Charges boost in mid-air and unleashs when they hit the ground
8. Sunset | Drifting gives boost to Players
9. Twinkle star | Getting an item will double his amount
10. Rain | Players lose their item or powerup if they got hit
11. Tempest | Send Players to the air when they got hit
12. Thunderstorm | The thunder shield shock will trigger if the Player got hit
13. Blood moon | Bumping others with a higher speed than them will cause spinout
14. Mountain vapor| Hides Player's item slot
15. Sandstorm | Drift sparks came out faster
16. Cloudy | Pickups only give a single type of item (banana, sneaker...)
17. Blue sky | Give sliptide effect
18. Aurora | Award boost if the Player hit someone
19. Night | Screen became darker
20. Pressure | The faster player squishs other in contact + get squished when landing while spinning
21. Hail | Ice rocks fall from the sky
22. Comet | Increase the size of throwable items (except eggbox)

In encore mode, weathers effect can change or being amplified
NOTICE: Lunar, Typhoon and Rain will never trigger on battle mode
NOTICE: Night, Mountain vapor and Earthquake visual effect wont show up in replays for better visibilty on gifs recording

weathermod_toggle [weather name]: Toggles on or off the weather specified, weathers that has been turned off will not show during play


For Mapmakers/SOC makers:
A SOC line can be added on your level header, this prevents some weathers to be triggered on cause issue (or become useless) on your map:
- "Lua.Removeweather = lunar, windy"
This exemple below will remove lunar and windy
Test your maps with some weathers too see witch ones you have to remove (use "weathermod_force" for this)

Cases of using this:
- Lunar can overshoot people on ramps/springs and can make some parts of the track unbeatable
- Encore variant dimension can make steepy slopes act like walls and vertival winds sections will badly work, or your map is too hellish to play with X2 size
- Lunar and windy become useless if your map has no ramps/springs
- Snowy is useless if your map is filled with ice physics

Weathermod is meant for chaos in races, and not really made for balancing the game, so some weathers can ruin your day
Also, don't complain about not be able to beat a track with any hell weather on, they're in hell for a reason

Known issues:
- Replays can desync and pick the wrong weather, this is mostly because the replays hates randoms functions. You can overcome this issue by using "weathermod_force" if you remeber witch weather got triggered during replay

Latest reviews

in terms of general balance, worst mod i've played
in terms of sheer fun, I T S E E M S T O D A Y T H A T A L L Y O U S E E I S quality
hehe got you in the first half there
anyway this is amazing for goofing around
personally i like to do hpmod bump hell; no items, forced blood moon, hpmod on, 50 laps
everyone just smacking into eachother trying to eliminate eachother and being paranoid that THEY'RE gonna get ambushed
absolute carnage

if you got the right mods to go along with it, this can be probably the most fun "chaos" mod in srb2kart
amazing

Honestly when I first used this in the OC Server, I absolutely loved it. It brings chaos into each race in a good way. I don't mind if more weather like stuff gets added into this mod, as It brings me joy to race with chaos in my mind.
