Introduction​

Weather settings in Over the Top WWI have a direct impact on gameplay, visibility, and atmosphere. By adjusting these values, you can create clear conditions for balanced combat or introduce challenging environments such as fog, rain, or storms.

Custom weather configurations allow you to shape the overall experience and make matches more dynamic or immersive.

Configuration​

Weather settings are configured inside the server configuration file. You can access and edit this file in your gameserver management panel under Configs. Locate and open the ServerConfiguration.ini configuration file. Inside this file, find the following parameters:

EnableRandomWeather = 1
CurrentWeather = 0
CloudCoverage = 20
TimeToChangeWeather = 180
TimeToChangeClouds = 180

  • EnableRandomWeather enables or disables dynamic weather changes

  • 0 → Disabled

  • 1 → Enabled

  • CurrentWeather defines the current weather type

  • 0 → Clear

  • 1 → Rain

  • 2 → Fog

  • 3 → Snow

  • Add +3 for more intense versions

  • CloudCoverage controls how much of the sky is covered with clouds

  • Lower values result in clearer skies

  • Higher values increase cloud density

  • TimeToChangeWeather defines how often the weather changes in seconds

  • TimeToChangeClouds controls how frequently cloud conditions update

Additional environment settings:

WindStrength = 2
WindDirection = 0
ChanceOfLightningOccuring = 100
LightningTimer = 6
CanLightningKill = 1
  • WindStrength controls how strong the wind affects gameplay
  • WindDirection defines the direction of the wind
  • ChanceOfLightningOccuring sets how likely lightning is to occur
  • LightningTimer controls how frequently lightning appears
  • CanLightningKill determines whether lightning can damage players

After modifying the ServerConfiguration.ini, save the file and restart your server. The new weather settings will be applied automatically.
