Tools and settings for use with SWF (Seasonal Weathers Framework) mod

You can
- use the settings file included here
- convert settings to spreadsheet format for easy manual editing
- systematically create your own weather system


I had a youtube video explaining how to use this, but the channel got terminated for some reason. The channel only had one video on it, explaining how to use a mod for Skyrim, and it was apparently accused of multiple severe violations. I don't see how that's possible. Furthermore, the only people who would have seen the video were people from nexus, so I guess that means some user from nexus lied about the video to youtube, falsely accusing it of something terrible, and getting the channel terminated. Pretty bizarre.


Contents:
- SettingsFromWeatherProgram.json - this is a json file that has been generated by the included MakeWeatherJson.py python program, attempting to systematically make more interesting and realistic weather settings for SWF.
- MakeWeatherJson.py - this is a python program that systematically creates a weather settings json file. Perimeters of the program can be tweaked to customize the weather system.
- JsonToCsv.py - this is a python program that converts the json file from the SWF mod to a csv file, that can be used in a regular spreadsheet program.
- CsvToJson.py - this is a python program that converts the csv file back to the json file format that can be used in SWF mod.
- ReadMe.txt - this is a file with some explanation.

- The SettingsFromWeatherProgram.json file can be used without running any python programs. Some images are included that illustrate the settings. With these settings, in the regular regions, January is very snowy, April is very rainy, August is very pleasant, and in the snowy regions, it snows most of the year.

- The python programs can be used to manually edit weather settings more easily, or to systematically, automatically create settings.

Instructions
Step 1 - Go to the in-game mod menu of SWF, and save to external file
Step 2 - Go to ...data\SKSE\Plugins\Seasonal Weathers Framework\settings.json and copy the settings.json file into the same folder as the python programs
Step 3A - To manually edit settings in csv (spreadsheet format) run "python JsonToCsv.py" in command prompt (must be in the same directory as the programs and the settings.json file) and then edit the resulting file "SettingsJsonToCsv.csv". Then run "python CsvToJson.py" and a file "SettingsCsvToJson.json" will be created.
Step 4 - To load it into the game, rename it to "settings.json" and replace the old "settings.json" file in the Seasonal Weathers Framework directory.
Step 5 - Then go to the in-game mod menu and click on "load from external file".

Step 3B - To create your own weather, modify the variables in MakeWeatherJson.py and run "python MakeWeatherJson.py" in command prompt. A file will be created, "SettingsFromWeatherProgram.json". Continue to step 4.

Step 3C - To load the settings already included here, without using python programs, use "SettingsFromWeatherProgram.json" and continue to step 4.

NOTE - if you use the python progams, only python is needed, which is free and easy to get. Many computers already have it. To find out if you have it, type "python --version" into command prompt. If you have python already, it will show you the version you have. No additional installations are needed. However, if you want to generate charts of your data, one additional module needs to be installed,
matplotlib
To install it, type
"pip install matplotlib"
into your command prompt. Then go to the first line of MakeWeatherJson.py and change
"PlotCharts = False"
to
"PlotCharts = True"
