Hello! I'd like to share with you a mod aimed to improve raindrops appearence on windshield (and rain in general) and make game more realistic and immersive.
Key features:
- Add new texture and significantly increase number of raindrops.
- Improve physical behaviour of particles, now their spawn will be more affected by truck position relatively to rain inclination.
It makes a huge difference and vastly improve perception of weather! Just try it yourself!
- Reworked sound effects for wipers and rain
- New car splash trails
- Detailed description of config parameters in \def\vehicle\interior_glass_config.sii in case you want to play around with the settings yourself
Tweak these sliders to achieve comfortable sound level:
Rain inside - Truck effects volume
Rain outisde - World sounds volume
Wipers - Interior sounds volume
Mod is compatible with any other weather/sound mods, just give Better Raindrops a priority and place on top of others.
Known issues:
In Base mod some drops will spawn beyond side windows and hang in the air. This was done on purpose specifically to reduce particle density on them and will be noticeable only with the lowered windows. If you don't like this effect delete truck folder located in better_raindrops_v1.4\def\vehicle\
If you experiencing performance issues try to reduce traffic by entering console command g_traffic 0.5. Change the number to find optimal balance between amount of AI cars and your FPS in the rain
