Weather Effects?

[GaryChildress]

I started a random game with the full weather range and then edited the entire map. Now the weather effects don't seem to work. How do you setup weather to occur in the right places on a fresh map?

Thanks.

You need to edit Game_Slot 2. You do this in the editor, and instead of choosing a terrain type, you choose "Slot". "Pick Draw Type -> Slot -> 2 -> 1. The last number is the value you pick you assign to that hex in the editing. Sp, if you choose 1, when you click on a hex in the editor, it will assign the value 1 for that hex with that Game_Slot. The hex should have a value of 1 - 4. 1 = Arctic, while 4 is tropic. Note that deserts typically get a value of 99, this means no weather. An easy way to see it is to generate a random game with full weather and then edit the map, and choose the slot. This will show you how the values are assigned. These slot values are then used in the event #11, Seasons: Month and Weather to set the landscape type during the season.
