*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/NXT-WEATHER-box/13501614

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

put hud on first, then drop the rezzers!

im seeing a lot of comments that get errors... they are probably putting the rezzers down first then putting on hud which results in permission errors. Mine works fine. I put on hud first then rez them and everything is perfect. great job

I have had this product forever and I love the versatility to have rain wherever I live. I can even make rain all around my house and on top of it as well with placement . It's great with my glass roof building

Hit and Miss
full star empty star empty star empty star empty star Posted July 20, 2022 by jamesbrown Barrymore

I've used this system for a while now, I've set it up to the specifications and every time, without fail, only about 65% will work as advertised, the other 35% will just simply not work. I tried everything, resetting the scripts, etc.. I would highly caution one to buy this system. Also, as I look around other iconic, quality sims with rainy themes, I have not once seen any with this system set up in them, so that should most definitely tell you something! Don't buy this system!
