Alice Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I am a photosensitive person who also lives with epileptics. I love this game and want to be able to play it more but I just have to close out the second a thunderstorm happens because the consequences just aren't worth it. I can't play blood moons at all because of the strobe lightning. You can't even hide from it as it permeates everywhere (even underground!) I have to basically abandon entire worlds because of it. I tried to alter the game files to stop the 'stormy' weather type from happening. But I'm not a game dev and I've clearly missed an instance SOMEWHERE in those numerous files and there's just no getting away from it... so it's back to ditching the game entirely. Is there a surefire way to disable that ONE effect? Or do I have to add this to the pile of games I can't play 'because devs think thunder and lightning is more important'?

Maharin Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 While I have no specifics for you, there are console commands to alter weather and ones that affect lighting, but I don't know of any that will affect things outside of a single session. There may even be a mod for this sort of thing, but again I am not sure of specifics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Pretty sure you can mod that out with just a few tweaks in the xml files. Maybe ask in the mod subforum? I am not 100% sure this could be outdated by now, but using the console it should be the command "weather rain 0" wich should stop thunderstorms also i guess, as there is no thunder without rain? Console opens up with F1. That must most likely be done every time you log in though. Also not quite sure if this does have any effect on the hordenight tbh.

Boidster Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 A starting point for removing normal thunderstorms might be to go into biomes.xml and find all of these lines: <Precipitation min="0" max="0" prob="1"/> And set them all as shown above, min=0, max=0. That will prevent any precipitation (and, I'm assuming, storms) from every biome. I don't think it'll do anything about bloodmoon, though. The "weather" during BM is not controlled in XML as far as I know. Might just have to disable blood moons entirely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Thank you all so much, I'll give these a try, I appreciate the swift replies ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If you need, let me know and I can whip up a quick modlet so it does it everytime the game updates itself. Unless someone else has already done it or you done it yourself. Changing the base files will work until the game updates to a newer version and replaces the old files. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazymkii Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 If you have to remove Blood Moon, try Khaine's Wandering Horde Mod. It's more dangerous than any BM!. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Oooh I'll give it a try, that sounds fun! The changes I've managed to make seem to have stopped all lightning effects. Occasionally it will drizzle from a clear sky, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, any chance you could share a modlet for removing lightning effects to me aswell? My girlfriend has epilepsy so the lightning storms are really annoying. I'm playing darkness falls tho, so would it still work for it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check to see what Khaine has done (if anything) with that part of the code and then build the modlet around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Give this a try https://github.com/BFT2020/7D2D_NoRain.git I verified on my computer that it replaced the values for all precipitation events to 0,0. Based on what I saw with DF, it should still work. If you run into any issues, just let me know (quote one of my posts so it notifies me). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
