Fixes the annoying bug that causes the sound of rain to disappear when changing a level.
In memory of the great DoctorX.
Ever noticed how the sound of rain will disappear during a storm or what have you, if you move to a different level?
I did, and it annoyed the ever loving crap out of me. This bug goes back to the days of SoC, and the guys from ZRP managed to fix it there, so I just ported it over.
Drag the gamedata folder to your COTZ folder. This changes bind_stalker.script, so not sure how compatible it is with other addons.
Just do a file compare for the bind_stalker.script if you get a message that file is to be overwritten and merge the changes
gamedata\scripts\bind_stalker.script
(I added it my load and I did not get a file overwrite prompt; apparently it is the bind_stalker_ext.script in that same folder that tends to be changed with mods)
Yes, this is yet another change that needs to join the updated CotZ FIX mod!
Thanks, what is the CotZ FIX mod if you don't mind me asking? Sounds cool!
Its probably going to be additional to Bastians essential fixes and-tweaks unless he incorporates these into his mod and updates it.
If you check the addon list, we seem to be adding up a few things that should be compiled together:
--mangun fix(Mangun fixes allies weapons as he should)
--unload weapons (u key unloads all wpns in inventory
--airlock door (moving in and out of airlock is immediate and does not muck up following companions)
--Bandits fix (bandits on some maps no longer attack allied factions)
--and of course THIS one rain sound fix(rain sounds continue to play when entering another map where rain is continuing to fall)
==>stuff that actually fixes a bug in the game or a serious Quality of Life must have
I'm quick with this not to forget:
It rained while I was in Rostok. I went to the Wild Territory and the rain was still heard, I was happy it works. Then I went over Yantar and sound disappeared once again, even though it was still raining.
I wonder if it will come back after another transition but I just wanted to point that out asap.
EDIT: I had to close the game after said glitch so naturally the rain sound reappeared and then lingered through Wild Territory and Rostok. I'm curious if it can disappear randomly again or maybe it's just Yantar thing (or even worse, only my modpack thing).
This will happen if the rain is in the middle of transitioning out to another weather. That's what occurred to me. I imagine if you had waited for a few more minutes you would have noticed the rain was actually stopping. Nothing that can be done to prevent that outside of engine changes.
However, could also be little things that I did not catch as... haven't had much time to test yet... lets see if this becomes a repeatable pattern
alright, gotcha
I love the rain in these games, even got a mod for a more immersive rain sound effect.
This bug you fixed has been one of my biggest pet peeves with the game; appreciate you making this mod for CoTZ!
