Enhanced Weather-Rain

Thanks first and foremost to skingrad24 for the Enhanced Weather-rain mod, i was trying to put rain and snow into Fallout for 4 months by using
meshes, and it never would work. So skingrad's method worked using scripts. So this was my first time messing with scripts and
got it to work finally! By reworking his script of course, I appreciate it.
You will need his mod if you want to combine Rain and Snow in your gameplay



Description
==============================================
This mod was created to go with Nuclear Winter Mod, as that is where all the snow on the ground comes from in my screenshots. It is
found here. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3720

However, i have included Three .esp files to choose from

- SnowForNuclearWinter.esp( Requires Operation Anchorage, has a high chance of snow only no rain over the wasteland)
*****If you dont use Nuclear Winter Mod, you can still use SnowForNuclearWInter.esp, as long as you
have OperationAnchorage.esm, the difference with this .esp and the SnowOnly.esp it that i used
OperationAnchorage ImageSpaceModifiers to give better lighting for day and night, it is the best .esp
included in this mod,*******

- SnowOnly.esp ( Adds Snow Only to Fallout 3, with a good chance for snow to popup in the weather.)


- RainAndSnow.esp ( Adds Rain and Snow to the wasteland, This is a compatibillity .esp for those who use EnhancedWeathe-Rain.mod
You will need to download EnhancedWeather-Rain and install it for this .esp to work THe link to this mod is below
Make sure you install it as directed but instead of using EnhancedWeather-Rain.esp use RainAndSnow.esp.
There was nothing changed with the Rain, i only added Snow to the weather. Rain still hase the same chance of
happening as in the original mod, snow has a lower chance in this mod.

****RainAndSnow.esp is based off Version 1.0 of EnhancedWeather-Rain.esp***




there are two types of snowstorms light and fluffy snow and a more heavy almost blizzard type of snow

RainAndSnow.esp only has one type of snow which is the light snow
SnowForNuclearWInter.esp and SnowOnly.esp have both types of snow, just no rain


Notes From Author:
==============================================
If you want a good visual experience try the SNowForNuclearWInter.esp and compare it to the color and visuals of the default vanilla
colors. Look at the difference between the days and nights. This is what i wanted to do with my Lighting Overhaul Mod, i will redo it
if enough people like the Lighting Change.


Changelog 1.0
==============================================
Version 1.0 Original Version
RainAndSNow.esp is based off Version 1.0 of EnhancedWeather-Rain Mod




Installation
==============================================

Open the zip file for this mod and extract the data folder into your your Fallout 3 folder (default C:\Program Files \Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3).
if asked to overwrite files check yes and continue.

open FOMM or Fallout Launcher and check """ONLY ONE"""" plugin

Launch the game and play

you can open the console and test the snow by using this command set testsnow to 1 "or" set testsnow to 2make sure you savegame
before you do, so you can load it back up after your done testing



Bugs and Compatability
==============================================
This will conflict with EnhancedWeather-Rain mod unless you use the compatabillity plugin RainAndSNow.esp in its place
This will conflict with any mod that makes changes to the weather types and climaTE

Load it after Fellout, and my Lighting Overhaul Mod, it will not effect LightingOverhual Interior lights

Load SnowForNuclearWInter.esp after NuclearWInter(if you use NucleaurWinter, otherwise load it after any weather Changing Mod )
****Remember Operation Anchorage is required for SnowForNuclearWInter, and Operation Anchorage.esm needs to be checked***

Load SnowOnly.esp after mods like Fellout

Load RainAndSnow.esp after mods like Fellout, and make sure you dont have EnhancedWeather-rain.esp checked
***Remember EnhancedWeather-Rain Mod is required if you want to use RainAndSnow.esp***

Bugs, i found that when it snows, the when the animation Loops and starts over there is a blur that goes across the sky, im looking
into it. Doubt there is anything i can do.You might not even notice

Not a bug, though Snow doesnt cover the entire cell when it is snowing. I fixed this the best i could with the mesh. The mesh is edited
to show snow in front of the players FOV, by adding depth 5,15,25, and 50 feet in front of the player. You probably wont be able to
tell, unless you get in vats and zoom. Even then the game is paused and there are snow particles frozen on the screen.


Uninstallation
==============================================

Uncheck the Plugin you use , i suggest saving in an interior, exiting, uncheckin the plugin, loading your savegame from interior and save it.

open textures folder and delete the folder named Snow
open meshes folder and delete the folder named snow.

delete snowOnly.esp,RainAndSnow.esp, and SnowForNuclearWInter.esp from your fallout 3 data folder
