Definition of Weather Types? : V

» Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:44 am

Hello everyone.

I am in the process of setting up weather sections in my custom world space. I understand how to go into the Region Editor and choose sections on the grid to activate the weather. What I am wishing to understand is the definition of the weather types you can select. Specifically the letters at the end of the name.

Here are examples of some of the types I can select:

SkyrimCloudyRE_A

SkyrimCloudyRE

SkyrimClearMA

SkyrimCloudyTU

SkyrimCloudyVT

SkyrimFogCO

SkyrimCloudySN

SkyrimClearFF

After selecting different types, saving my plugin and then loading the game - I have found that the weather type that ends with _A means there will be an aurora at night. So far I think there are certain types like FF_A or RE_A will give a different type of color for the aurora.

I am hoping that someone will help me understand what the other letters mean such as the VT, SN, TU, FF, CO, RE or MA.

Many thanks in advance!

Each region in Skyrim has its own set of weathers to match the mood of the environment:

RE - Reach

MA - Marsh

TU - Tundra

VT - Volcanic Tundra

CO - Coast

SN - Snowy

FF - Fall Forest

The weathers without an acronym are for the pine forests.
