Universal storm changes

  • Storm wind bonus now start increasing at storm effect radius, and reach maximum at (storm core radius/2).
  • Lighting now happen in the maximum storm wind area, so you can know approximately where it is.
  • Lighting now spawn in circulus area, instead of vanilla square area.
  • Enable Lighting light cause shadow.
  • Increase the audio limit so now it can play more thunder sound in the same time.
  • Increase Storm wind + ocean bonus limit to 40 (vanilla 20). Can be adjust by configurator.
  • Gust modifier will only make wind stronger in storm.
  • Gust last longer and wind speed change faster in storm.
  • Change storm selection logic so it will pick stronger storm for weather effect when multiple storm is nearby
  • Add 4 custom storm. Have option to be compatible with Climate mod so it only show up in relevant season.
  • Add Storm relocate distance slider in Configurator. You can increase it to reduce the chance you met storm (since this mod add more storm).

Custom storm

  • All custom storm can be toggle off seperately.
  • Add 3 squalls: Very fast-moving super heavy rain storm. Very small area. Have different wind strength.
    • These show up in all area.

Regional special storm

  • Add Sandstorm: Fast moving pile of sand but smaller radius. Bad visibility, everything yellow, your boat get dirty fast.
    • Only active in Al'Ankh Sea. Show up in Spring/Summer if climate custom wind enable.
  • Add Dry Thunderstorm: Slow moving smaller storm, no rain, good visibility but a lot of bright lighting. Strong wind.
    • Only active in Aestrin and Chronos sea. Show up in Autumn/Winter if climate custom wind enable.
  • Add Hurricane: Huge storm and little bit slower than vanilla storm. You can hear lighting from far away. Very strong wind, heavier rain.
    • Only active in Emerald Archipelagos, Fire Fish Lagoon and Chronos Sea. Show up in Summer/Autumn if climate custom wind enable.
  • All regional special storm only spawn once. So it will be more rare.

Bug fix

  • Fix thunder audio bug so it will play all 10 sound source. (Vanilla skip 2)
  • Thunder sound actually comes from where lighting strike, instead of always from latest lighting strike position.
