Hi
This is a Weather Plugin and Client to operate. It supports manual weather setting and real weather by quering weather api supplier. Scripting/random is not supported.
- works on x64 only
- works on dx9 dx11, dedicated and offline applications (as far as i could test)
- supports real weather, read the readme for more info
- You may need vs2015 redistributable (vc140 redist).
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=48145

.Net version is 4.5.2

Recommended API: ClimaCell WEATHER API (free key: https://www.climacell.co/weather-api/ ) (note: V3 will be shut down. Only new V4 API keys available. check for WEATHER API V4, not climacell API! V4 is supported since V1.14)

Q&A:
Q: Can the plugin set the current time of the track?
A: No, the game internal Interface does not allow to set set time
Q: can the Plugin set the track temperature?
A: No, the game internal Interface does not allow to set track temperature, and currently it it said to have no meaning anyway
Q: what weather provider are supported?
A: ClimaCell, Darksky (no more api keys avail), OpenWeatherMap and for legacy reasons wunderground where free weather data access is not possible anymore
Q: what do I need to do with the download???
A: read the readme in the zip, and get an free API key (which offers usually least but sufficient access to weather data) from one of the supported API suppliers
Q: my league says they use this plugin for real weather. Do I need to install this plugin to participate in server sessions?
A: No. Weather and realroad is transferred to you by the rf2 server in multiplayer mode.

Stefan

current: V1.15

Thank you very much @Stefan_L_01 .
I've a question.
How do we configure the program to be used with several dedicated servers?
localhost : port? Is it implemented?
Note: I've put two spaces because otherwise the forum shows a smiley

Hi
I wrote a lightweight Weather Plugin and Client. I know there is a powerful tool outside but after some experiences I decided to write my own
- works on x64 only
- works on dx9 dx11, dedicated and offline applications (as far as i could test)
- supports real weather, especially real reported rain rate by wunderground
read the readme for more info

This is great news, rF2 really needs such plugin especially since Gerald's .dll no longer works in DX11.
Is there a source code available to have a look?
 
I uploaded V1.1 (maybe should have called it 0.x, you know)
I found a way using multi-server instances by usage of a custom variable, UID. See readme for details
also i thought myself a calculation of WU rain rate by accumulated data may have some advantages, so you have 2 options

@Ironwolf: source code is available ( :) ), but I´m not working with open source, so no github or similar.
 
V1.2 up
I´ve thrown out the stupid snow simulation and replaced it with a radar image poll. Detail in the readme.
Note: for WU radar you need at least their developer cumulus plan, in case you signed for strato pls update your plan. I have not tested what happens if you don´t have access to radar...

Hi @Stefan_L_01
I can't run the program in our server.
I think that the dll isn't recognised by our dedicated because it doesn't appear in the CustomPluginVariables.JSON
I think that we don't have installed the runtime libraries. What do we have to install (C++ libraries, .Net Framework...)?

you need the vc140 redistributable in case

The .Net 4.52 was already installed. I've compiled two applications vb and C# to be sure, and both run well.
Is it mandatory to put the program in any folder?
There are dependencies?
