I've noticed when I have this plugin active, its stops some of my server.cfg working correctly. I it set to spawn mobs every 15 seconds, although when this plugin is load, it appears just to default everything.
Why is that?
Caused by too many server cvars being read, you need to use my Cvar Configs Updater plugin to fix the problem by commenting out all default cvars. See the plugin thread: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=188756
i want to add 'Snow' instead of 'Rain' on EVERY map (=Christmas Special ). How can i do this?

I think it would be amazing if there was a way to set it so we could have day cycles, like make it so we have this certain weather/lighting for this amount of time then it automatically changes to a desired one. Like have mornings, evenings, noon, midnight and so on.
Nice plugin, I used it a lot of times before and it work well. However on my new window 8 computer, the game crashes 1 minute from server start. The error message is from microsoft C++ saying runtime error r6025 and then game quits. Any idea whats the cause of this? I lowered page memory and render settings but had no luck.

I'm assuming your trying to run the Steam Dedicated server (srcds). Never had this problem before and don't run Windows 8. But you say you used it before and it worked ok but not now with your new W8 machine. Is it possible to run it in compatibility mode, in particular Windows Server 2008 or 2012 if its available as this is often used for rented dedicated servers. Sorry cant help anymore than that

Oh.. this plugins is good with window 7? Will this weather control plugins lag the system? Plan to test it.

Thanks, but I am running a Listen/Local server. Is it possible that this was caused by other plugins? or maybe system overload?
). How can i do this?
Linear Mode
