Hi,
I make it quick: I've forked akumayos weather module and this is, what came out.
It can do rain, snow, leaves, landslides, bubbles, insects and so on. It also works fine with SSHs SimpleSnow, so you can combine two effects if you like.
Demogame with source included.

Your browser is obviously opening the scm file as a text file for some reason. Right click the link and 'Save Link As', or 'Save Target As', or whatever your browser calls it.
ok basicaly after save target i had to rename the file it was going to save from .htm to .srm
I've imported the script, now I just need to figure how to use it, it seems very complicated.
the demo is great, would have been nice to have a help file or tutorial.
OMG, users after 4 years!! 8-0
Hooray!
@MurrayL: Thanks for fixing the links - I've updated the first post.
The warnings.log file in the demo zip shows 25 warnings about dynamic sprites not being deleted.
Could this affect performance?
Hi abstauber,
correct me if I'm wrong but this module creates one overlay per particle, therefore there is an upper limit of 20 particles or so? (because of AGS built-in limitations)
I'm afraid that's correct. I wrote it in a time where I didn't know about dynamic sprites and such other wizardry :)
Personally I use the way more advanced (but complicated) Particle System Manager from jarakeen.

Is it the one that has a flock of bats in its demo? Damn, I was looking for it.
Anyway:
I created a version that uses a single overlay, which allows to go above the "20 particles" upper limit.You module remains 99% unchanged -- the end-user simply has to pass a boolean in Weather.Init to tell if he wants to use that feature.
I suggest you update the first post of this thread.

It had bats? Are you sure we're talking about the same module? ;D

Too hard to resist ^_^

Spoiler
sadly that version is still pre-alpha and has several weird bugs
hehe, you rock :=

I've seen that one but the download link(s) is (are) broken.
Also CW I do know you're on the verge of breaking all the built-in limits (that's great!), but I can't wait, and 3.3.0 is still way too buggy to work with it in my case.
Anyway the update I've posted above works BUT
don't you beloved scripters forget that it still doesn't work with sprites that have an alpha channel, because of the well-known limitations to DrawImage (here we draw the particles onto a transparent sprite => no go)
Im trying to use this module but i want to change the sprite. Instead of a blue pixel, some other sprite.
(Heres is the code im using, its very simple i just want a rain but with my own raindrops.)
WeatherModule.Init(16); // Setup 16 sprites
WeatherModule.Start(-1, 2, false,true,false, 0, 320, 0, 144); // Starts with falling speed 4 and windspeed 1
WeatherModule.SetSprite(Here i dont know what to put to make some other sprite instead of the blue pixel to appear.)
Any ideas?
I downloaded the module and the game and look into the code but it gets complicated,For example he use this
WeatherModule.SetSprite(i, 9);
So that (i), I dont know what the int slot is.
Ive tryed at least to tint the particles with this but i cant make it work.
Weather_sprites.Tint(0, 0, 10, 100, 100);

It's been ages since I've used this one. The i is just a counter variable to save some time.
For example you can do this and setup each sprite slot manually
WeatherModule.SetSprite(1, 9);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(2, 9);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(3, 9);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(4, 9);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(5, 9);
Or you use a variable and save a few lines of code. The result is the same.
int i = 1;
while (i < 6) {
WeatherModule.SetSprite(i, 9);
i = i + 1;
}
In this example the sprite_slot 9 (your graphic) are being assigned to the weather particles 1 to 5.
Ah I understand now!
I used this:
WeatherModule.SetSprite(1, 2000);
So the first drop of rain (in my case) should be the default character front view of the presseted game.
but i just see blue 1x1 pixels.
What i am doing wrong?
Is there a setting im not putting in?
like for example i found looking on the autocomplete
Weather_sprites.Tint(10, 20, 30, 100, 100);
this should change at least the color of the blue pixel
but nothing happens.
Take a look at the Start function
WeatherModule.Start(int envfallingspeed = 1, int envwindspeed = 0, bool pixel_only = false, int x_jitter = false, int y_jitter = false,
int x_min = 0, int x_max = 320, int y_top = -100, int y_bottom = 200);
There is the parameter pixel_only this needs to be set to false in case you want to use sprites. If it is set to true, the second parameter will be interpreted as a color instead of a sprite slot.
:sad: I understand what you say, but even if i set the parameter to false, i still just see 1x1 blue pixels.
And if i set it to true, i see 1x1 black pixels) I add this because it can give some clue of what could be happening).
here is my code:
WeatherModule.Init(16);
WeatherModule.Start(-1, 2, false,true,true, 0, 320, 0, 144);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(0, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(1, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(2, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(3, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(4, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(5, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(6, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(7, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(8, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(9, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(10, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(11, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(12, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(13, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(14, 2041);
WeatherModule.SetSprite(15, 2041);
Maybe other module is mixing with this module or something like that?
(Even if i change the colour parameter you said, i still get only black pixels.)
sorry for necroposting but I found something interesting about that module.
If you set a sprite of just one pixel, and then use the settings below, then it looks like a cloud of agitated firebugs flying around rather than atmospheric effects.
Think Monkey island when guybrush walks in the dark forrest, or think flies in a swamp, etc.
int VERTICAL_SPEED = 1;
int HORIZONTAL_SPEED = 0;
int box_top = 0;
int box_bottom=36;
int box_left=146;
int box_right=176;
WeatherModule.Start(VERTICAL_SPEED, HORIZONTAL_SPEED, false, 2, 2, box_left, box_right, box_top, box_bottom);
