Have you ever wanted to limit natural weather changes? Is snowing, raining or thundering disturbing you? Are you bored with 2 types of weathers? Do you want regional weathers? If so, you're on the correct page! ProperWeather is a plugin to stop/change natural weather changes in your world(s). It also adds custom weathers & region system, so you can enjoy any weather you want wherever you want.(Some custom weathers require spout to take effect, but most of them are made not to need spout)

Commands

Args in [] are optional and args in <> are required. You can also use these commands from console, but you always need to enter the world name even if it's in [].

/pw [help | ?]- Displays general help for the plugin
/pw off [world] - Disables plugin(enables natural weather changes) in specified or player's world
/pw stopat <rain | clear> [world] - Stops weather in specified world on rain or clear.
/pw list - Lists worlds ProperWeather is currently controlling
/pw wlist - Lists all available weather types
/pw run [world] - Starts natural changing of weather in your world. This means, that it's going to cycle through all known weathers, while one weather shouldn't be longer than defined in its options file.
/pw sit - Tells you which weather is in all regions of your world(console) or if you're a player, it tells you only situation in your region.
/pw conf <property> - Reads property from config file.
/pw conf <property> <value> - Sets property in config file.
/pw rgt <world name> <region type> - Sets region type for certain world. Region type can be "biome" or "world". Please note that if you use biome, you also need to set use-biome-weather in config to true
/pw im - Multi-verse import

Permissions

ProperWeather supports 3 permission modes: None, OP, SP.

"None" allows everyone to do everything
"OP" means only OPs can use commands from ProperWeather
"SP" means you'll use an external plugin to deal with permissions

Permission nodes

Permission nodes are only effective in "SP" mode. Every permission node corresponds to some of commands above.

pw.pw - Basic node for every user that wants to work with ProperWeather. You need it even if you have pw.*
pw.* - All of below
pw.disable - /pw off
pw.enable - Both pw.run & pw.stopat
pw.stopat - /pw stopat
pw.list - /pw list
pw.run - /pw run
pw.wlist - /pw wlist
pw.sit - /pw sit
pw.im - /pw im
pw.rgt - /pw rgt
pw.conf - /pw conf

Configuration

ProperWeather generates its configuration file after it will be loaded(see How to Install)

Configuration nodes

default-permissions - Tells plugin which permission mode it should use. Possible values(you have to type it exactly as you see it):OP,SP,None
notify-mv - If there is MultiVerse found, should ProperWeather notify it when you use run or stopat? (true or false)
translation-file - Location of translation file. en.txt means, that the file is where you have your craftbukkit.jar. Recommended value is plugins/ProperWeather/en.txt
use-biome-weather - Set this to true if you want to use biome-specific weather.
region-type.<world name> - Type of region this world is split up to. Possible values(must be UPPERCASE): BIOME, WORLD

Example configuration file

default-permissions: OP
notify-mv: true
translation-file: plugins/ProperWeather/en.txt
use-biome-weather: true
region-type.world: BIOME

How to install

Download the latest jar file
Place it into your server's plugins folder
Run the server and wait for the "Done!" message
Then, stop the server and go to plugins/ProperWeather/
Change configuration(if needed)

Compatibility w/ other plugins

ProperWeather is currently compatible with following plugins:

Spout ( custom weathers )
ProperWeather-weathers provide more weather types (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/properweather-weathers/)
Any superperms-compatible plugin (for permissions)

Developers!

Localisation

As you may have seen, there's localisation API in ProperWeather and I want YOU to help me to extend it. If you know to translate to different language, you can just grab the default english translation file in '<path_to_server>plugins/ProperWeather/en.txt', translate those messages and send it back to me by PM, g-mail or even skype if you catch me online.
