Hello, this weather mod was in private development until now. So, I introduce to you my new weather remake. It aims to make game brighter and focuses on athmosphere, but I couldn't forget about realistic.
Also I'm making similar weather remakes for such conversions as San Vice and SA:LC.

Some features (briefly):
- More realistic skies
- More realistic lighting
- High color correction
- Big variety of sunrises and sunsets
- Smog effect restored
- Bigger difference between each locations' weathers
- Improved Dynamic Object lighting
- Darker nights (but not the most dark)

Los Santos, 06:00 ("EXTRASUNNY LA" & "SUNNY SMOG LA"):


Los Santos, 07:00 ("EXTRASUNNY LA" & "SUNNY LA"):


Los Santos, 21:00 ("EXTRASUNNY LA" & "EXTRASUNNY SMOG LA"):


San Fierro Clear Weather (07:00 and 00:00):


Las Venturas Clear Weather (12:00 and 00:00):


Los Santos Cloudy Weather (12:00 and 00:00):


Also I making an addition for weather mod to SA:LC (specially to GTA III fans) - bleak weather version (2nd screenshot)

Ahhh you sneak! Looks great though! It wouldn't be too much trouble for you to recreate the GTA III BETA timecyc?

GTA 3. SA would be cool though for those who would like it for SALC.

I don't have many pictures. Just this E3 video.

Not so high difference. Only sunrises and sunsets more remindes hell (bright-orange clouds, bright horizon skies), more brighter at all and some sun colors is different.

BTW here's my VCS rain sunset recreation. But I will make it used rarely ingame, you will see basicly other sunset, more "cloudy":

When can we expect a release to test this for SA?

I making new combination of desert weathers: Clear (with blue skies), Dusty (like cloudy, but with dust visible on distance) and Storm instead of both similar extrasunny and sunny (feels like cloudy actually) and stormy.
Here's a sketch of dust sunrise (it's one of all weathers with soft sun color if playing with PS2 effects):

I'm liking it, I never took a look at altering the weather effects for rain.

Here's all Clear LS weather cycles:

Midnight and 05:00:


06:00:


07:00:


12:00:


19:00:


20:00:


22:00:

[methodunderg]

I wish I had a purple sky @ home ..

I think a quick 20sec video would be more appropriate flicking through the times for a certain weather cycle.

Keep up the good work; btw.. are you using Fastman's CLEO to mod the timecyc?

Yep.

[Death2Drugs]

This mod looks nice!

[d3jan]

i like the timecycles, exept that purpulish one, i think you should make it a little less colorful, but still purple

The reason they're going for a purple sky is to match that of Los Angeles. Here's what Los Angeles looks like around sunset with a purple sky:



I say they come pretty close to it!
