[edit] Description
This mods allows you to hear weather sounds when you are indoors. The original hard work was done by Morbus, I just tweaked it a little. So full credit goes to him. I loved the idea of this mod and the atmosphere it added to the game, but I wasn't happy with the quality of sounds that were used so I replaced them with high quality samples and added more weather variations. In order to make the sounds appear external I ran them through WaveLab with Waves Q10 ParagraphicEQ to roll off the high end & cut the bass, then PSP StereoControl to push the stereo field and make them more immersive. I think the results are a lot more realistic.
There are four different types of indoor weather, all directly related to the external weather.
-outside- -inside-
Calm day/blue skies Ambiance & subtle breezes
Overcast/blustery day Pronounced wind with subtle howling
Raining Rain & wind
Thunderstorm Howling rain and wind with distant thunder
3D sound attenuation is used. So when you enter a dungeon the weather sounds will play near the door and fade off as you move further away. Also each indoor weather type plays two different length sound files so any change in the weather will be a smooth(er) transition, without an overly abrupt stop/start.
[edit] Known Issues
This mod is incompatible with Sunlit Interiors. It's fully compatible with Natural Environments, Open Cities & Darker Dungeons however ensure that Darker Dungeons loads AFTER Weather Inside or the dungeon lighting will revert to default.
