Storm
Ever bored with the vanilla weather? Storm is a plugin that adds a whole new range of weather mechanics to Bukkit servers.
Features
- Acid Rain: Green rain, which damages players and animals, as well as deteriorates blocks. Turn a 'grey day' into a 'radioactive-green' day!
- Blizzards: Makes snow a real threat! Players and entities caught outside during a blizzard will experience snow acting as slow sand, limited visibility, and cold damage, so long as they are not inside or near a heating block.
- Thunder Storms: If supercharged creepers were not already a threat, how will your players react to hordes of zombie pigmen? Thunder storms are massive discharges of lightning over a short period of time, in which players will be hard-pressed to survive.
- Meteors: Fireballs trailed by explosions, burrowing in the ground, and flattening all entities in their path. Players who survive, however, can delight themselves with the ores the meteor leaves behind.
- Wildfires: We can all safely say vanilla fires are boring. To spice up the game, we've added wildfires; a naturally occurring event in which entire forests will be devoured by fire with pre-1.6B physics.
- Earthquakes: With massive rifts opening up, screens shaking, and blocks flying about, Storm earthquakes will be an experience for your players to remember. Seems to be bugging in Version2.3
- Volcanoes: Large mounds of lava spurting out of the ground, explosions and flying lava bombs. Fun, fun, fun. Seems to be bugging in Version2.3
Getting started with Storm
If you are a visual learner, this video by WoopaGaming is for you! Some information is outdated, but the gist remains the same.
You can gain some more in-depth information from this "Curse Minecraft Spotlight" on Storm, as it presents most of the features of Storm in a nice format. Thanks to Xenius01 of Curse for this one!
Storm has a command for all its weather types:
| Command | Usage | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| /acidrain | /<command> [world] | storm.acidrain.command | Starts acid rain in specified world. |
| /blizzard | /<command> [world] | storm.blizzard.command | Starts a blizzard in specified world. |
| /thunderstorm | /<command> [world] | storm.thunderstorm.command | Starts a thunder storm in specified world. |
| /wildfire | /<command> [world] | storm.wildfire.command | Starts a wildfire where player is looking at. |
| /meteor | /<command> [world] | storm.meteor.command | Spawns a meteor and targets the block the player is looking at. |
| /volcano | /<command> [world] | storm.volcano.command | Spawns a volcano at the targeted block. |
| /earthquake | /<command> [world] | storm.earthquake.command | Spawns a earthquake at the targeted block. |
| /cracks | /<command> [world] | storm.earthquake.command | Spawns a crevice at the targeted block. |
And immunity permissions from their associated weathers:
| Immunity | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acid Rain Damage | storm.acidrain.immune | Prevents damage from acid rain. |
| Blizzard Damage | storm.blizzard.immune | Prevents damage from blizzards. |
| Lightning Attraction | storm.lightning.immune | Prevents extra damage from lightning & lightning attraction. |
| Meteor Damage | storm.meteor.immune | Prevents damage from meteor shockwaves. |
If Storm doesn't load, first, make sure that you are running a compatible build of Storm. For example, 0.1.2 will run only on Bukkit 1.4.6, while 0.1.2 R1 will only run on 1.4.7. You can see the supported versions in the Files menu. If that doesn't work or Storm throws exceptions, leave a ticket.
When asking for support...
...please answer the following questions: they help us get back to you quicker and consequently address any issues faster.
- What Storm version are you running? Be specific.
- What server implementation are you running (usually CraftBukkit)?
- What Minecraft version are you running?
- What is the issue you are experiencing?
- Provide a traceback, if the issue is a crash and a log is available.

Posted Aug 23, 2012Yes, Im sure the world is "test_world". About being an official tester I wouldn't mind but I can only be a "dedicated" tester during vacation time.

Not annoying me :P If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found half the bugs I did. I have nearly fixed the TextureManager bug, errors on blizzards, etc. I still can't figure out the meteors, and why its saying that... You sure you have test_world there, and that there isn't a world there that does not exist? In any of the Allowed Worlds?
Also, do you want to be an official tester?

Posted Aug 23, 2012@JuarezCause Its not spawning any meteors because the allowed worlds for meteors is probably 'world', yet you expect it to work on 'test_world'. The allowed worlds must have at least one world. To disable meteors, disable it from the Features.Meteors.
I'm working on the texture manager bug. It shouldn't crash anything, it just was supposed to send texture changes for acid rain etc. Use an older version if this does pose problems: I have only fixed the %xyz bug since then (for meteors).

Posted Aug 23, 2012So before a player logs in the log is this. After a player logs in the log is this. And I get no broadcast for meteors I searched around the place I spawned in and didnt find any craters. I tried to put the damage radius to 200 and I dont know if this is causing the problems I gradually tried to reduce the time between meteors to 500 ticks. By default the chance value is 8.0 i put to 100. Still no meteor.

One questions: What errors?
Second thing: you can't see meteors because of MC. Meteors are a trail of explosions. You only see explosions from 30 blocks away; generally meteors don't spawn that close.You will still see their impact etc and the message will still broadcast.

Posted Aug 23, 2012so ok now I got a bunch of errors that appear on the log, I think I'll wait for the next release I can't even see the meteor. Or maybe I should use a older version, unless it's the new version or fix is released fast.

That's a MC error, not a Storm error. It appears that Storm was affected by it, though. MC appears to have sent a null world to my plugin, which crashed it. If the issue persists, disable Features.Blizzards.Slowing Snow. If it still persists, submit a ticket.

Sorry for late response: was eating :)
1. They spawn in random loaded chunks. Generally this means that there is a player within a couple hundred blocks.
2. Yes, will be added, not yet.

Posted Aug 23, 2012Do meteors spawn where players are or is it random? Have you had any thoughts about adding commands to control your weathers?

If I can get tsunamis to work (haven't even attempted this yet) sandstorms would closely follow.

Posted Aug 23, 2012Nice thanks for the fast reply! By the way what about sandstorms, it could create more sand blocks even on other biome but only if they're close to a desert and tsunamis although it seems more complicated to do.

Its a debug message, don't worry about it. I'll remove it in the next version. You can still type in your command, although you might not see it, it will still do its effect. For example, even with it being spammed, you could still type something like /gamemode 1 bob, and it would still work. Sorry bout it, there are so many debug messages...
I'm releasing a new version very shortly which will fix these things.
