Does anyone have an idea where and how the Hard Rain Campaigns weather could be accessed or controlled? Ive checked the cvars, commands .. nothing obvious. Nothing in the entprops ... its gotta be SOMEWHERE.

In TF2 valve has started using info_particle_system for weather effects like snow and rain. You could check there.

AS,

You are heading up the right track with this inquiry...I keep searching to see if anyone has designed this control plugin yet.

I see time of day settings in the CVARs list; I havent tried this yet to see if daylight can be controlled at will (same as what we want with weather).

I've been trying to figure this out as well and the weather appears to be initiated by a script as it's not as 'dynamic' as they make it out to be.

Some things I've found:

Hard Rain console excerpt: "Initiating C4 Director Storm settings"

Others of interest:

"info_particle_system (fx_lightning_strike_impact_06) has no particle system name specified!"

"info_particle_system (fx_lightning_strike_impact_06) has no particle system name specified!"

"Couldn't find any entities named wind_storm, which point_template template_wind_storm is specifying."

One cvar that stands out: director_begin_script

I don't know if any of that helps.

Cheers
