Modify weather in MTW?

[R'as al Ghul]

The mod i am talking about is Samurai Warlords - weather was changing a lot in that mods custom battles IIRC. Perhaps its worth posting a thread about it in their subforum.

Hello guys,

it's been a while since I've been here.
Tosa told me some time ago (omg already 4 weeks) that there's an open question regarding the modding of weather in MTW.
Gollum's observation is correct. Weather changes in our mod if the new (imported from Shogun) terrain tiles are used.
When we implemented the new tile set, we had to decide which tile set we want to replace (arid, temperate, lush or desert).
Rain is/can be an important tactical factor. It affects the teppo units. Some people argued that there should always be a chance of rain, so that the teppos are not overpowered. For that reason we chose to replace the lush tile set.
All maps that are done using that tile set will have lush weather, meaning it will most probably rain (randomly) when you play the map long enough. The rain can come in several showers or keep on pouring a long time.

So, I'm sorry, we didn't actually mod the weather, just replaced the lush set and took advantage of the weather that's coded for that set. Afaik there's no possibility to mod the weather in another way. I tried to modify the weather.txt and the climate info in the map files. It didn't seem to do anything.
