[Release] WeatherGen - A BMS random weather generator
-
Can someone please make this thread as sticky? As well as other weather tools?
I know Arty has his list but it is:
- too long,
- not very well described at the moment (perhaps due to its length).
The only thing I can dream is to combine your tool with Ahmed’s Grb2fmap and Weather Commander. You know, one tool to rule them all. Your UI is just brilliant: simple but powerfull, pretty but readable!
And about more real features: could you consider adding Autoplay button next to [Step Forward >>]?

Good idea, both sticky and auto step forward, I have almost broken my finger clicking so many times on that button.:uham::dhorse:

I’m not sure having this one stick is a good idea
First the stickies seems to be official notice from dev to modders about what to do or what to take into consideration prior to modding
Second i seeno reason why weather tools should have stickied topics, while other community mods may not.
third, stickies are usually NOT read. Having a sticky topic imho is the best way to have one information overlooked.Maybe, just maybe the best answer would be to create an extra child forum and assemble all weather tools in a weather mod forum, all 3d model in their own forum and all skins in their own room as well

You might be right Red Dog. But what about copying the way ArmA forum handles the mods?
There are two subforums:
- COMPLETED
- DISCUSSION
Once anything working is published to community, original thread in DISCUSSION section get closed and mod is available in COMPLETED section (even if still under development). This way we can filter never ended/never published mods from more (or less) completed ones. What do you think?

Just saw this. Noted. Will consider it, especially as changes now under way make it more reasonable to do.
Can I ask for detail about what you’re trying to do? Are you looking for a certain pattern, a certain time, just like watching it move, or do you have some other goal?
Thanks!

Just wanted to mention here my request for TWX file format info, for two reasons. First, in case anyone with helpful information is watching this thread, but didn’t see that one. Second, because it contains some teaser info about one of the new WeatherGen features I’ve been working on.
Additional teaser: everything requested in this thread is already implemented in the next version. Plus more.

Sure. But I don’t think that will be soon, as I have a huge pile of other features I want to work on. In the meantime it should work fine even displaying one of the other maps. Like, you can just leave it on Korea and the generated weather will work. You won’t get named locations, obviously.
The more people chime in here and ask for IKAROS support, the farther up the list it will move.

Thanks, and Ikaros map would be nice.

Love the weather ‘package’ option, it was quite a chore to click the ‘save’ 48 times (I use 30 min increments) for one day!
Also, not sure if its just me or not, but the new site/tool is fairly laggy when I have it open. I’m using firefox, will try with another browser to see if its specific to FF.

Yes, it’s laggy in FF for some reason I can’t figure out. Sorry! Any ideas welcome. Works great in Chrome for me - that’s the recommended browser.

Initial post updated with the first two videos in a tutorial series. The first one is a brief explanation of the BMS weather model. Skip this one if you’re already familiar, or read the (excellent) BMS manual. The second video shows the basics of getting some weather created.
-
Initial post updated (again) with three more videos in the tutorial series, covering forecasts, weather overrides, and displaying flight plans.
Hope these are helpful. Please ask questions here if you have any.

Great application Tyrant. Thanks a bunch for your effort. Still exploring this.

Tyrant: At first great work with the weathergen it is a wonderful utility, however when I click just on the “save current as fmap” or “save twx” nothing happens (I am using chrome, save settings, load settings work fine).

Yeah, I just noticed that this week myself. Will fix soon. The workaround for now is to save a weather package and extract only the files you need - everything is in there. Sorry about that.

The fix for this is uploading now and should be available shortly. I’ll update the initial post in a bit, too. Thanks for the bug report!

Awesome tool! Thanks for your work.
