*Note this system is best for 4096 parcels and smaller or "spots of weather on larger parcels....this system has a 10 rezzer LIMIT. if you do not have an area of 18 X 18 to fit this rezzer in, we recommend a particle system. For a larger and more flexible system with resizing and 1/7 the prims, please visit https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MY-WEATHER-CONTROLLER-rain-and-snow-for-sims-and-parcels/25578981
Why did we call this "Best Weather"? Because it's the best way to create the most realistic weather effect on SL.
Why was this system created?
Some real estate companies do not allow weather systems on commercial land for causing lag. I felt this was understandable but also something that needed to be worked around. The reason weather systems are not permitted for some is for the amount of lag caused by particle rezzers and the video lag created by the particles themselves. This system ONLY uses animated textures, producing a more realistic rain without causing server or video card handicaps.
As specified in the LSL scripting wiki - animated textures do not cause any lag.
WEATHER MODES - There are 3 modes for rain and 2 modes for snow plus thunder (with lightning) which can be turned on or off in each mode. Each mode uses a different realistic sound effect to match the rain. Puddles also are effect by which mode you choose to add realism.
Off
Drizzle
Light Rain
Hard Rain
Thunder on/off
Light Snow
Heavy Snow
CONTROLLERS
There are 3 options for controlling the rain for the owner by clicking on either:
1. Best Weather HUD - Gives Owner only usable menu.
2. Best Weather Umbrella Stand - gives Umbrella to any user and also acts as a controller for owner - others get an umbrella with no controls.
3. Best Weather Umbrella - Gives Owner only usable menu.
Features:
BEST WEATHER Rezzer is copyable and multiple rezzers will listen to commands from the owner all at once.
BEST WEATHER REZZER contains multiple prims for giving rain a surround sound effect while in the rain.
When rain is set to OFF....rezzer only uses 1 prim (7 prims when on).
BEST RAIN is NOT a weather system and does not use any particles - meaning it's lag free and will not bog down your video card.
18 X 18 x 24 meters per rezzer

Perfect
This was exactly what I was looking for. It was the perfect finishing touch to a Forest I am working on. ;)
Love it
just wish that my partner could access the menu when Im not around
Looks Amazing
I cannot say enough good things about this product. It's not laggy, looks very relistic, and the customer service is superb. We ended up buying the larger weather product too (the one made for large parcels) and couldn't figure it out, the owner came and personally taught us how to use it. you don't see that too often anymore. He's a really nice guy who makes really beautiful products.
Thank you!
Awesome.. Make sure to read the major note, Very Important!!!
We bought this Best Weather to use on our winter wonderland we created for our club patrons and it is the very best weather hands down we have ever seen.. It was very simple to set up (very detailed instructions). This is far more less intrusive as a particle weather system as you can far better control where the weather happens (which will definately keep your neighbors happy). Also, when we did have a question on use the creator, Christopher Coffee (Xavier Novelli), was more than happy to address our concern and help us out..
*MAJOR NOTE* As a land renter myself and sales person for one of the top 3 land companies in SL, almost EVERY land company will not allow any "Weather Systems" especially "Particle Based Weather Systems" on a parcel smaller than a 1/4 sim, however, after doing some tests on our own, which our companies Operations Manager conducted on my parcel, we have determined this BEST WEATHER does not fall into these categories and therefore can be used on ANY parcel size that we rent out..
Kudos to the creator of BEST WEATHER!!!!
