Weather System that can also change EEP?

[Michael Blackwood]

I was more wondering than necessarily actively looking: Does anyone of you guys know of a weather system that can also change EEP settings?

I know that there are nice weather systems and I know there are tools that automatically override/change EEP settings. But I wonder if there is one system that can do both?

That is one little thing that bothers me about EEP & weather so far: It looks too unreal to have a weather system starting random rain, but the sky still looks like a beautiful dry summer day in Florida at the same time. Then again, I don't want to always manually change the parcel EEP when the rain sets in automatically, lol.

What a fabulous idea!

I don't know enough about EEP to know whether it's possible though.

Right? It would make weather so much more realistic and still dynamic. Frankly this inability is why I stopped using weather systems - I just love the immersive, realistic EEP settings you can create for your land, so I value them more than rain or snow falling every other day. So with the inability to combine both in a dynamic random setting, I choose EEP over weather systems.

About possible or not: I would think technically it should be possible. There are products on MP that can change EEP for a person via touch or defined area, so it is apparently possible to override someone's EEP through a script. That is why I am actually surprised that no weather system maker has yet had the idea to combine that with their system for a dynamic EEP change.

This is a good idea i would love to find one as well for my sim.

Bare bones script I installed on my own parcel: https://github.com/PanteraPolnocy/LSL-snippets/blob/main/scripts/HTTP requests/accu-weather-parcel-windlight-eep-change.lsl - please note that since I initially created it for personal use and didn't plan to share it with the world, you'll need to manually find and replace the city ID (265984), create your own API key (https://developer.accuweather.com), and obtain EEP sky assets. Despite these requirements, the script does work. It may be a good starting point for something more sophisticated.

Will you also explain us, what it even does? And thank you a lot for sharing!

 

Also, I have good news: I talked to a friend on SL who scripts a lot of good systems - among them an EEP changer system, she has for sale. She likes the idea and contacted the big weather system creators to work together to make our dream come true! And if not, she assured me, she will build her own system from ground up.

Having gone to the link and read the script, very basically it contacts AccuWeather once an hour and changes between 32 different environment settings in order to match the weather AccuWeather reports to it.
