This project is based on the final private development versions released by arrow_kb. Due to persistent difficulties with GIANTS Software, the original author has ceased development and maintenance of all mods. As permitted, this repository continues the maintenance and stabilization of the Realistic Weather framework (v1.1.2.3) for the community.
This fork focuses on two main objectives:
- Full Technical Stabilization: Fixing the critical LUA and Multiplayer bugs left in the original development branch.
- MoreRealistic (MR) Bridge: Transforming environment data into physical forces by bridging the Moisture System with the MoreRealistic engine.
- Dynamic Grid: Tracks soil humidity, sun exposure, and rainfall across the map.
- FS25 Core Integration: Now correctly overrides
DensityMapHeightManagerandWheelsUtilwithout breaking native GIANTS systems. - Physics Bridge: Injects localized moisture data into MoreRealistic physics. Each wheel samples the ground at its exact coordinates to determine grip.
- Bale Decomposition: Bales left in the rain will increase in moisture, leading to rot and quality loss.
- Specialization Injection: Dynamically adds weather-sensitive logic to sprayers, mowers, and cutters via
TypeManager.lua.
- Fire Spread: Fire propagation logic based on wind and soil dryness (now stabilized to prevent global scope leaks).
- Puddles: Physical puddle generation that acts as a traction multiplier for wheels.
Compared to the original v1.1.2.3 dev-branch, the following critical issues have been resolved:
-
LUA Syntax (Parser Fix): Removed all
continuestatements (unsupported in FS25 Lua 5.1). This fixes the "Unexpected " errors that prevented the mod from loading. -
Multiplayer Sync (MP): * Fixed the "Rebuild Moisture Map" sync issue mentioned in the original notice.
-
Corrected bitstream type mismatches in
MoistureSyncEvent.lua(UInt8/Int8). -
Headless Server Compatibility: Removed dependencies on
g_careerScreenfor save/load operations. The mod now correctly resolves save paths on Dedicated Servers usingmissionInfo. -
Arithmetic Precision: Fixed a precedence error in
MR_Weather.luathat distorted the nocturnal dampness curve.
- Download the
FS25_MoreRealisticWeather.zip. - Requirement: MoreRealistic_FS25 is highly recommended to experience the localized traction effects.
- MP Ready: Set
multiplayer supported="true"in your server config.
- Original Author: arrow_kb (Current dev branch base v1.1.2.3).
- Maintenance & Bridge: Community-driven stabilization.
