A question about new weather .ini system in skyrim

Hello.
I'm just going to try the new weather system with 0.172 version (I come from 0.168) and I have some doubts
Have I to know every weather code and make a .ini for each one, or can I customize only "general" weathers, as "overcast", "rainy", "snow storm", etc...
If so, how must I do this in order to just customize general weather situations?
Thanks in advance

First you need this:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36318/
Install in:
\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\data

In this folder you should have a file called _weatherlist.ini:
\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\enbseries
This is how I edited mine so far:

Code: Select all

[WEATHER001]
FileName=SkyrimClear.ini
WeatherIDs=81a, 10e1f2, 10a234, 10e1e8, 10a23b, 10e1ec, 10a230, 10e1e6, 10a237, 10e1ea, 10a244, 10e1ee, 10a240, 10e1f0, 10a7a5, 10e1e4
[WEATHER002]
FileName=SkyrimCloudy.ini
WeatherIDs=12f89, 10e1f1, 10a236, 10e1e7, 10a23f, 10e1eb, 10a233, 10e1e5, 10a23a, 10e1e9, 10a245, 10e1ef, 10e1ed, 10a7a8, 10e1e3
[WEATHER003]
FileName=SkyrimFog.ini
WeatherIDs=10a7a7, 10a23e, 10a239, 10a235, 10a232, c821e
[WEATHER004]
FileName=SkyrimOvercastRain.ini
WeatherIDs=10a7a6, 10a242, 10a23d, 10a238, 10a231, c821f
...
FileName=SkyrimClear.ini points to a file you make with the name SkyrimClear.ini that is located in the same folder.
All weather IDs that are listed will fall under the settings dictated in that .ini file.

Weather IDs are here:
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Cons ... m)/Weather
http://pastebin.com/LZtkETZj <- Jawz, you have 10a240 - SkyrimCloudyTU listed, but it should be 10a243 - SkyrimCloudyTU

Sorry wrote that in a haste :P will correct that ASAP

EDIT;

It has been corrected and will add Dawnguard and Dragonborn weathers in two separate pastes. You should know that both Dawnguard and Dragonborn uses Skyrim weathers in parts of those worlds, Hearthfire is just player houses added to Skyrim so no weathers are added in that DLC.

Thanks chan!
But the file _weatherlist.ini has to be in DATA folder?
When I downloaded the v172, this file come inside a folder called "enbseries" that I guess it should be in root folder (where d3d9.dll is), right?

You put it in the enbseries folder which should be placed in the main Skyrim folder

Like this;

Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim/enbseries/xxxxweather.ini

Not like this;

Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim/Data/enbseries/xxxxweather.ini

Hello again, a new doubt here :oops:

I'm using realistic lighting weather mod. I love it, but storms during daytime are too dark, so ENB takes these DAY weathers as it were NIGHT.
The thing is that I don't want to change daytime enb settings because I'm happy with dawn, sunset, night... balance I have managed.
SO, it could be possible to add the daytime setting to the weather .ini file, in order to be able to tell ENB that it is day or night?
In this way, I could tweak daytime settings JUST in storm weathers, to make ENB detects day light in this darker situation.
Thanks, and sorry if I have not expressed well. English is not my language :?

If yo want to make darker look for stormy weather, then using old version you need to keep [DAYNIGHT] detector parameters from my enbseries.ini as it's tweaked for such weather (vanilla). If you have mod which change sky in wrong way, then only newest versions with weather system may help, but what do you ask then, i don't know.
