rootsrat Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/37873//?Freshly uploaded to Nexus - from the author of Wet and Cold, Shooting Stars & Rainbows.This mod adds splash effect on surfaces and also a rain sound effect in interiors (I assume it appropriately muffled). Volume of the latter is controllable via console command.Known Issues:Splashes will appear underwater.Interior rain sound effects are louder in first than third person.The latter is not really an issue, as this is the case for a lot of sounds even in vanilla, as far as I noticed. The undewater issue is probably distracting and not very realistic by the sound of it, but I need to judge by looking in game.
statmonster Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Interesting. I wonder why this wasn't integrated into Wet and Cold. Splashing sounds underwater probably aren't such a big deal - how often do you go swimming int he rain? (Could be suicidal with Frostfall....)
rootsrat Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 It's not the sound, it's the actual splash effect - or this is my understanding :) But yeah, you're right, I rarely swim in Skyrim anyway...
Aiyen Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Already have a combination of SOS and CoT sounds to provide interior rain sounds that I like. As for the effect then it might be worth looking into. Honestly never missed or noticed splashes missing from the ground or objects. As for something happening under water, then i could live with that, since I almost never swim anyways.... not much point since the only thing to go down after are a few clams and some slaughter-fish.
rootsrat Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 2 minor updates already released :)1.02Splash effects can now play on rocks. 1.01Disabled splash effects while swimming.
JeremyAearle Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Nice! I wonder when he is going to implement (if he does) his other two ideas from this demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMzwIdSVvhQ
phazer11 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 My grasp on it is that he gave up on most of that. Does the new mod fix the rain "bug" or just add effect? I also heard he wasn't going to be actively modding.
Guest Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Nice! I wonder when he is going to implement (if he does) his other two ideas from this demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMzwIdSVvhQI think he told me it wasn't working right or too resource intensive months ago. I did make those quick rain balls in the video (which he pretty much says are terribad lol). It was a test though and I think he wanted some 2D sprites. The game already uses 2D sprites so I don't really see much point apart from the collision.
JeremyAearle Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Understandable. It would have been nice to see a physics based weather system in place, but I can see why it would be too intensive for such a subtle modification.
DoYouEvenModBro Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I think this is worth a look for STEP 2.2.8Agreed. It's a minor but realistic mod.Â
PlanetExp Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I'm using it and it works great with vanilla weather. It does splash on every surface so with the combination of SFO it looked odd to see splashes in the forests and on top of grass. And it was unusable with supreme storms but I found that mod to be less than desirable anyway so dumped it in favour of splash of rain. One of my favourite mods with Get Snowy and Wet and Cold.

darthbdaman Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Is there any reason this isn't in STEP already? It seems pretty awesome.
Noobsayer Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Use it, love it. Very small thing but it's hard to play without it after seeing it. :)
