Weather manager

What’s new

Weather cycles and sections

The modified weather manager introduces a new multi-section flow for weather cycles. When editing the weathers parameter in game_maps_single.ltx, you can set the keyword outdoor instead of a specific cycle/section.

• With outdoor specified for a level, weather becomes multi-sectional and follows this structure:

; dynamic_weather_graphs

[level_good]           ; “good weather” cycles
[level_bad]            ; “bad weather” cycles
[level_transition]     ; one-hour transition weather between good/bad cycles
[level_pre_blowout]    ; pre-blowout weather, one hour before the blowout
[level_periods_length] ; period lengths for good/bad weather
period_good_length_min = x1
period_good_length_max = y1
period_bad_length_min  = x2
period_bad_length_max  = y2

; Optional settings
; Per-level blowout behavior:
[level_surge_settings]
surge_state = 1 ; 0

Example for trilogy surface levels in outdoor mode:

        music_tracks                     = zaton_musics
        weathers                         = outdoor

        music_tracks                     = jupiter_musics
        weathers                         = outdoor

Blowout manager

Level registration

Level registration requirements in the blowout manager were reduced. The blowout-forbidden check now uses the indoor keyword in the weather section instead of listing levels in surge_manager; artifact respawn automation works the same way without explicit level registration.

Fixes

• Fixed double-use of the anesthetic
• Fixed red screen inside shelters
• Optimized final blowout stages
• Minor tweaks
