A tunable mod for Stalker 2 to improve the always lousy weather.
This mod only modifies the following file:
Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg
Create a patch file in YAML format in src/config/ directory (e.g., test.yml).
Run the patcher:
cd src
python3 main.py test.yml
Convert all line endings to CRLF Windows line endings which the game uses:
sed -i 's/$/\r/' src/config/original_chunked/*.cfg
Use repak to package the config file into a .pak, and copy it under Game folder\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods.
This will conflict with any other mod that modifies WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg.
You should make a directory structure sunshine\Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg.
Then:
repak pack sunshine sunshine.pak
There is already a bunch of existing weather mods, but none of them did what I wanted.
- Sunny Weather: This mod was my original inspiration. However, it forces nearly 100% clear weather everywhere, so it simplifies the game's weather too much.
- Less Pleasant Weather 2: This felt promising, but it uses an old version of the WeatherSelectionPrototypes.cfg as a base, so it is completely missing some weather config for the game.
- Dynamic Weather Overhaul: Completely reworks the weather to be even more dramatic, and for example makes nights even darker.
